without using the access key/remote
transmitter.
The system can be disarmed if you turn
the ignition switch from the “LOCK”/“OFF”
to the “ON”position with a registered key/
access key.
NOTE
For models with “keyless access with
push-button start system” , if the ac-
cess key battery is discharged, perform
the procedure described in “Switching
power” F9-18. In such a case, replace
the battery immediately. Refer to “Re-placing battery of access key”
F11-44.
& Valet mode
When you choose the valet mode, the
alarm system does not operate. In valet
mode, the remote transmitter is used only
for locking and unlocking the doors and
rear gate (5-door) and panic activation.
To enter the valet mode, change the
setting of your vehicle’ s alarm system for
deactivation mode. Refer to “Activating
and deactivating the alarm system” F2-
28. The security indicator light will con-
tinue to flash once every 3 seconds
indicating that the system is in the valet
mode.
To exit valet mode, change the setting of
your vehicle’ s alarm system for activation
mode. Refer to “Activating and deactivat-
ing the alarm system ”F 2-28.
& Passive arming (models

! Passive arming mode
When passive arming mode has been
programmed by the dealer, arming of the
system is automatically accomplished
without using the remote transmitter. Note
2-32

that in this mode, DOORS MUST BE
MANUALLY LOCKED.
!To enter the passive mode
If you wish to program the passive arming
mode, have it done by your SUBARU
dealer.
! Arming the system
CAUTION
In passive mode, the system will
automatically activate the alarm but
WILL NOT automatically lock the

Keys and doors/Alarm system
&Tripped sensor identification
The security indicator light flashes when
the alarm system has been triggered.
Also, the number of flashes indicates the
location of unauthorized intrusion or the
severity of impact on the vehicle.
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON ”position, the indicator light will light
for 1 second and then flash as follows.
. When a door or the rear gate (5-door)
was opened: 5 times
. When a door or the trunk (4-door) was
opened: 4 times
. When the ignition switch was turned to
the “ON ”position: 3 times
. When a strong impact or multiple
impacts were sensed: twice (only models
with shock sensors (dealer option))
. When a light impact was sensed: once
(only models with shock sensors (dealer
option))
NOTE
Any of the above indicator light flash-
ings will recur each time the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON”position.
Rearming the alarm system cancels the
flashing.
& Shock sensors (dealer op-
tion)
The shock sensors trigger the alarm
system when they sense impacts applied
to the vehicle and when any of their
electric wires are cut. The alarm system
causes the horn to sound and the hazard
warning flashers to flash for a short time
when the sensed impact is weak, but it
warns of a strong impact or multiple
impacts by sounding the horn and flashing
the hazard warning flashers, both lasting
approximately 30 seconds.
If you desire, your SUBARU dealer can
connect them and set them for activation
or deactivation.
NOTE
. The shock sensors are not always
able to sense impacts caused by break-
ing in, and cannot sense an impact that
does not cause vibration (such as
breaking the glass using a rescue
hammer).
. The shock sensors may sense vi-
bration as indicated in the following
examples and trigger the alarm system.
Select the settings of the alarm system
and shock sensors appropriately de-
pending on where you usually park
your vehicle. Examples:
–Vibration from a construction site
– Vibration in a multistory car park
– Vibration from trains
. You can have the sensitivity of the
shock sensors adjusted to your pre-
ference by your SUBARU dealer.

Instruments and controls/Warning and indicator lights
&Security indicator light
This indicator light shows the status of the
alarm system. It also indicates operation
of the immobilizer system.
!Alarm system
It blinks to show the driver the operational
status of the alarm system. For detailed
information, refer to “Alarm system ”F 2-
27.
! Immobilizer system
The security indicator light starts blinking
in the following conditions.
For models with “keyless access with
push-button start system ”:
. Immediately after the push-button igni-
tion switch is turned to the “OFF”position.
. Immediately after the driver ’s door is
opened or closed when all of the following
conditions are met.
–The push-button ignition switch is in
the “ON ”or “ACC ”position.
– The access key is outside the
vehicle.
– The engine is not running.
In the event that the push-button ignition
switch is pressed to turn it on or to start
the engine carrying an unauthorized key
(for example, the key is unregistered or
the ID code does not match), the power is not switched to
“ON ”and the security
indicator light continues blinking.
For models without “keyless access
with push-button start system ”:
. Approximately 60 seconds after the
ignition switch is turned from the “ON ”
position to the “ACC”or “LOCK ”position.
. Immediately after the key is pulled out.
If the indicator light does not blink in the
above conditions, it may indicate that
immobilizer system may be malfunction-
ing. Contact your nearest SUBARU dealer
immediately.
In the event that an unauthorized key (for
example, an unauthorized duplicate) is
used to start the engine, the security
indicator light illuminates. For details
about the immobilizer system, refer to
“Immobilizer ”F 2-3.
NOTE
. The security indicator light remains
off in the following conditions. This is
normal and does not indicate a mal-
function.
–while the engine is running
– for approximately 60 seconds
after the ignition switch is turned
from the “ON ”position to the
“ACC ”or “LOCK ”/“OFF ”position
. Even if the security indicator light blinks irregularly or its fuse blows (the
light does not blink if its fuse is blown),
the immobilizer system will function
normally.

(the security indicator light on the
combination meter is flashing), the
alarm system will remain armed
throughout the remote start run cycle.
. If the alarm system is disarmed at
the time of remote engine starter
activation (the security indicator light
on the combination meter is not flash-
ing), the alarm system will remain
disarmed throughout the remote start
run cycle. !
Remote start operation - fob con-
firmation
Your remote engine starter fob is a
bidirectional transceiver that can confirm
