Alarm system
The alarm system helps to protect your
vehicle and valuables from theft. The horn
sounds and the turn signal lights flash if
someone attempts to break into your vehi-
cle. The starter motor is also interrupted to
prevent starting the vehicle without a key.
The system can be armed and disarmed
with the remote transmitter.
The system does not operate when the
key is inserted into the ignition switch.
Your vehicle
s alarm system has been set
for activation at the time of shipment from
the factory. You can set the system for de-
activation yourself or have it done by your
SUBARU dealer.
System alarm operation
The alarm system will give the following
alarms when triggered:
The vehicle s horn will sound and the
turn signal lights will flash for 30 seconds.
In addition, the starter motor will not oper-
ate.
If any door (or the rear gate/trunk lid) re-
mains open after the 30-second period,
the horn will continue to sound for a maxi-
mum of 3 minutes. If the door (or the rear
gate/trunk lid) is closed while the horn is sounding, the horn will stop sounding with
a delay of up to 30 seconds.
The alarm is triggered by:
Opening a door, the rear gate or trunk
lid
Physical impact to the vehicle, such as
forced entry (only vehicles with shock sen-
sors (dealer option))

Mirrors
Always check that the inside and outside
mirrors are properly adjusted before you
start driving.
Inside mirror
The inside mirror has a day and night po-
sition. Pull the tab at the bottom of the mir-
ror toward you for the night position. Push
it away for the day position. The night po-
sition reduces glare from headlights.
Auto-dimming mirror/compass (if
equipped)
1) Left button
2) Auto dimming indicator
3) Photosensor
4) Right button
The inside electronic compass mirror has
an anti-glare feature which automatically
reduces glare coming from headlights of
vehicles behind you. It also contains a
built-in compass.
By pressing and releasing the left but-
ton, the automatic dimming function is tog-
gled on or off. When the automatic dim-
ming function is on, the auto dimming indi-
cator light (green) located to the right of
the button will illuminate.
By pressing and releasing the right but- ton, the compass display is toggled on or
off. When the compass is on, an illuminat-
ed compass reading will appear in the
lower part of the mirror.
Even with the mirror in anti-glare mode,
the mirror surface turns bright if the trans-
mission is shifted into reverse. This is to
ensure good rearward visibility during re-
versing.
Photosensors
The mirror has a photosensor attached on
both the front and back sides. If the glare
from the headlights of vehicles behind you
strikes the mirror, these sensors detect it
and make the reflection surface of the mir-
ror dimmer to help prevent you from being
blinded. For this reason, use care not to

cover the sensors with stickers, or other
similar items. Periodically wipe the sen-
sors clean using a piece of dry soft cotton
cloth or an applicator.
Compass calibration
1. For optimum calibration, switch off all
nonessential electrical accessories (rear
window defogger, heater/air conditioning
system, spotlight, etc.) and ensure all
doors are shut.
2. Drive to an open, level area away from
large metallic objects or structures and
make certain the ignition switch is in the ON position.
3. Press and hold the left button for 3 sec-
onds then release, and the compass will
enter the calibration mode. CAL and di-
rection will be displayed.
4. Drive slowly in a circle until CAL dis-
appears from the display (approximately
two or three circles). The compass is now
calibrated.
5. Further calibration may be necessary
should outside. Influences cause the mir-
ror to read inaccurately. You will know that
this has occurred if your compass begins
to read in only limited directions. Should
you encounter this situation, return to step
one of the above procedure and recali-
brate the mirror.
Compass zone adjustment
Compass calibration zones
1. The zone setting is factory preset to
Zone 8. Refer to the Compass calibration
zone map shown above or one attached
to the end of this manual to verify that the
compass zone setting is correct for your
geographical location.
2. Press and hold the right button for 3
seconds then release, and the word ZONE will briefly appear and then the
zone number will be displayed.
3. Press the right-hand button repeatedly
to cycle the display through all possible
zone settings. Stop cycling when the cor-
rect zone setting for your location is dis-
played.
4. Releasing the button for 3 seconds will exit the zone setting mode.

Objects look smaller in a convex
mirror and farther away than when
viewed in a flat mirror. Do not use
the convex mirror to judge the dis-
tance of vehicles behind you when
changing lanes. Use the inside mir-
ror (or glance backwards) to deter-
mine the actual size and distance of
objects that you view in convex mir-
ror.

Manual tuning (TUNE)
Push the side of the tuning button
(3) to increase the tuning frequency and
press the side of the button to de-
crease it.
Each time the button is pressed, the fre-
quency changes 10 KHz in the AM wave-
band and 0.2 MHz in the FM waveband.
Constant pressure on the button causes a
continuous change in the frequency.
Automatic tuning (SCAN)
Press the SCAN button (1) to change the
radio to the SCAN mode. In this mode, the
radio scans through the radio band until a
station is found. The radio will stop at the
station for five seconds while displaying
the frequency, after which scanning will
continue until the entire band has been
scanned from the low end to the high end.
Press the SCAN button again to cancel
the SCAN mode and to stop on any dis-
played frequency.
When the SCAN button is pressed for
automatic tuning, stations are scanned in
the direction of low frequencies to high fre-
quencies only.
Automatic tuning may not function proper-
ly if the station reception is weakened by
distance from the station or proximity to
tall buildings and hills.
Selecting preset stations
Presetting a station with a Preset button
(5) allows you to select that station in a
single operation. Up to six AM, FM1 and
FM2 stations each may be preset.
How to preset stations
1. Press the FM/AM selection button to
select AM, FM1 or FM2 reception.
2. Press the SCAN button (1) or tune
the radio manually until the desired station
frequency is displayed.
3. Press one of the Preset buttons (5)
for at least 2 seconds to store the fre-
quency. The frequency of the station will
flash once on the display at this time. If the
button is pressed for less than 2 seconds,
the preceding selection will remain in
memory.
NOTE
If the connection between the radio
and battery is broken for any reason
such as vehicle maintenance or radio
removal, all stations stored in the pre-
set buttons are cleared. If this occurs,
it is necessary to reset the preset but-
tons.
If a cell phone is placed near the ra-
dio, it may cause the radio to emit
noise when it receives calls. This noise
does not indicate a radio fault.
