!Emergency disarming
If you cannot disarm the system using the
transmitter (i.e. the transmitter is lost,
broken or the transmitter battery is too
weak), you can disarm the system without
using the transmitter.
1. Unlock the door with the key and then
open the door.
2. Insert the key into the ignition switch
and cycle it from the “LOCK ”to the “ON ”
position three times within 5 seconds.
& 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 (Wagon) 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 ”in this
section.) The security indicator light will
continue to flash once every 3 seconds
indicating that the system is in the valet
mode (only vehicle with an immobilizer).
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 ”in this section.) NOTE
If your vehicle is not equipped with an
immobilizer, the security indicator light
does not flash during the valet mode. &
Passive arming
When passive arming mode has been
programmed by the dealer, arming of the
system is automatically accomplished
without using the remote transmitter. Note
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
doors. In order to lock the doors
you must either lock them as in-
dicated in step 4 below or with the
key once they have been closed.
Failure to lock the doors manually
will result in a higher security risk. 1. Turn the ignition switch to the
“ON ”
position.
1) ON
2) LOCK
2. Turn the ignition switch from “ON ”to
“ LOCK ”position and remove the key from
the ignition switch.
3. Open the doors and get out of the vehicle.
Page 100 of 364
4. Before closing the doors, lock all doors
with the inside door lock levers.
5. Close the doors. The system will
automatically arm after one minute.
In the passive mode, the system can also
be armed with the remote transmitter or
with the power door locking switches. If
the remote transmitter or power door
locking switch is used to lock the vehicle,
arming will take place immediately regard-
less of whether or not the passive mode
has been selected. !Disarming the system
To disarm the system, briefly press the “
” button on the transmitter. &
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 rear gate (Wagon) or
the trunk (Sedan) was opened: 5 times
When the ignition switch was turned to the “ON ”position: 3 times
When a strong impact or multiple
impacts were sensed: twice (only
vehicles with shock sensors (dealeroption))
When a light impact was sensed: once
(only vehicles 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 theflashing. &
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 turn
signal lights 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 turn
signal lights, both lasting approximately 30seconds.
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 rescuehammer).. The shock sensors may sense vi-
bration like those shown in the follow-
ing 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. Keys and doors

We recommend that you drive moderately
until the pointer of the temperature gauge
reaches near the middle of the range.
Engine operation is optimum with the
engine coolant at this temperature range
and high revving operation when the
engine is not warmed up enough should
be avoided.
CAUTION
If the pointer exceeds the normal
operating range, safely stop the
vehicle as soon as possible.
