NOTE . An electronic tone will sound.
. If you pull the lock knob to the
“ UNLOCK ”side when more than 5
seconds have passed, an error will
occur. In this event, perform the proce-
dure again beginning with part 4. If an
error occurs six times, perform the
procedure again starting with part 3.
7. Perform parts 5 and 6 of the procedure
for each of the remaining digits of the
transmitter code beginning with the sec-
ond digit (counting from the left) and
finishing with the eighth digit. NOTE . When you finish entering the eighth
digit, an electronic tone will sound for
30 seconds.. If the interval between one push of
the knob and the next exceeds 5
seconds, an error will occur. In this

six times, perform the procedure again
starting with part 3.
8. Before the electronic tone stops
sounding, use the power door lock knob
to again enter the transmitter code begin-
ning with the leftmost digit. NOTE
If you do not start entering the number
using the lock knob before the electro-
nic tone stops sounding, an error will
occur. In this event, perform the proce-
dure again beginning with part 3.
9. When you have finished entering the
code a second time, an electronic tone will
sound for 1 second to indicate completion
of registration, provided the code entered
the second time is identical to that entered
the first time. NOTE
If the code entered the second time is
not identical to the code entered the
first time, an error will occur. In this
event, perform the procedure again
beginning with part 5. If an error occurs
five times, perform the procedure again
starting with part 3.
10. If you wish to program another trans-
mitter code into the system (up to four
transmitter codes can be programmed into
the system), perform the procedure begin-
ning with part 4. When you have finished
programming all of the necessary trans-
mitter codes into the system, remove the
key from the ignition switch.
11. Test every registered transmitter to
confirm correct operation.
!
Deleting old transmitter codes
The control unit of the remote keyless
entry system has four memory locations to
store transmitter codes, giving it the ability
to operate with up to four transmitters.
When you lose a transmitter, the losttransmitter ’s code remains in the memory.
For security reasons, lost transmitter
codes should be deleted from the mem-
ory.
To delete old transmitter codes, program
four transmitter codes into the system. If
you have only one current transmitter,
program it four times. If you have two
current transmitters, program each one
twice. If you have three current transmit-
ters, program two of them once and the
third one twice. This process will leave
only current transmitter codes in thesystem ’s memory. Keys and doors

Make sure no one else is operating
their remote keyless entry system with-
in range of your vehicle when program-
ming transmitters. If someone else
were to operate their remote transmit-
ter while you are programming your
transmitters, it is possible that their
transmitter code will be programmed
into your system, allowing them un-
authorized access to your vehicle. 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
vehicle. The starter motor is also inter-
rupted to prevent starting the vehicle

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 (Station
wagon) was opened: 5 times
When the trunk (Sedan) was opened:
4 times
Whenastrongimpactormultiple
impacts were sensed: twice (only
vehicles with shock sensors (dealeroption))
When a light impact was sensed: once
(only vehicles with shock sensors
(dealer option))
& 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 is 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.Example:
Vibration from construction site
Vibration in multistory car park
Vibration from trains
. You can have the sensitivity of the
shock sensors adjusted to your pre-
ference by your SUBARU dealer. Child safety locks
WARNING
Always use the child safety lock
whenever a child rides in the rear
seat. Serious injury could result if a
child accidentally opened the door
and fell out.
Each rear door has a child safety lock that
prevents the doors from being opened
even if the inside door handle is pulled.
When the child safety lock lever is in the
lock position, the door cannot be opened
from inside regardless of the position of
the inner door handle lock lever. The door
can only be opened from the outside. Windows &
