transmitters (up to four can be programmed), you
should re-program all of your transmitters for security
reasons. It is recommended that you have your dealer
program all of your transmitters into your system. !
Programming the transmitters
The keyless entry system is equipped with a special
code learning feature that allows you to program new
transmitter codes into the system or to delete old
ones. The system can learn up to four unique transmit-
ter codes. The four transmitter codes may be the same or different.
Programming transmitter codes into system:
Bag containing transmitter Transmitter circuit board
To register a new transmitter with the keyless entry system, it is necessary to program the transmitter’s
code (identification number) into the system. A label
showing the code is affixed to the bag containing the
transmitter, and another is affixed to the circuit board
inside the transmitter. If there is no bag, open the
transmitter case and make a note of the eight-digit
number. Program the number into the system in ac-
cordance with the following procedure:
1. Firmly close the doors and the rear gate or trunk lid.
2. Open the driver’s door, sit on the driver’s seat, and
close the door.

1) Open and close the driver’s door once. A) LOCK
B) ON
2) Insert the key into the ignition switch, then turn it
from the “LOCK” position to the “ON” position 10
times within 15 seconds.
NOTE " When you complete step 2), an electronic tone
will sound once, a buzzer will continue to sound
and the interior light will continue to flash until the
transmitter codes are completely registered." If you do not perform steps 1) and 2) within 45
seconds, an error will occur. Neither an electronic
tone nor the buzzer will sound, and the interior

whole procedure again beginning with part 1.
4. Open and close the door once within 15 seconds.
NOTE "
When part 4 of the procedure is completed, an
electronic tone will sound for 30 seconds. " If you do not perform the operations in part 4
within 15 seconds, an error will occur and the elec-
tronic tone will not sound. In this event, perform
the registration steps again beginning with part 3
of the procedure.
5. Before the electronic tone stops sounding, press the power door lock knob to the “LOCK” side the same
number of times as the leftmost digit of the transmitter
code. For example, press the lock knob eight times if
the leftmost digit of the code is 8.NOTE "
The electronic tone will stop sounding when you
start entering the number. " If you do not start entering the number using the
lock knob before the electronic tone stops sound-
ing, an error will occur. In this event, perform the
registration steps again beginning with part 3 of
the procedure. " If the interval between one push of the knob and
the next exceeds five seconds, an error will occur.
In this event, perform the procedure again begin-
ning with part 4. If an error occurs six times, per-
form the procedure again starting with part 3.

onds.
NOTE "An electronic tone will sound.
" If you pull the lock knob to the “UNLOCK” side
when more than five seconds have passed, an er-
ror will occur. In this event, perform the procedure
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 second digit (counting from the left) and finish-
ing 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 five seconds, an error will occur.
In this event, perform the procedure again begin-
ning with part 4. If an error occurs six times, per-
form 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 beginning with the leftmost digit.
NOTE
If you do not start entering the number using the
lock knob before the electronic tone stops sound-
ing, an error will occur. In this event, perform the
procedure again beginning with part 3.
9. When you have finished entering the code a sec-
ond time, an electronic tone will sound for one second
and automatic door locking and unlocking operation
will take place once to indicate completion of registra-
tion, provided the code entered the second time is
identical to that entered the first time.

If the code entered the second time is not identical to the code entered the first time, an error will oc-
cur. In this event, perform the procedure again be-
ginning with part 5. If an error occurs five times,
perform the procedure again starting with part 3.
10.If you wish to program another transmitter code
into the system (up to four transmitter codes can be
programmed into the system), perform the procedure
beginning with part 4. When you have finished pro-
gramming all of the necessary transmitter 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 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 lost transmitter’s code re-
mains in the memory. For security reasons, lost trans-
mitter codes should be deleted from the memory.
To delete old transmitter codes, program four trans-
mitter codes into the system. If you have only one cur-
rent transmitter, program it four times. If you have two
current transmitters, program each one twice. If you
have three current transmitters, program two of them once and the third one twice. This process will leave
only current transmitter codes in the system’s memo-ry.
NOTE
Make sure no one else is operating their keyless
entry system within range of your vehicle when
programming transmitters. If someone else were
to operate their remote transmitter while you are
programming your transmitters, it is possible that
their transmitter code will be programmed into
your system, allowing them unauthorized 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 system can be armed and disarmed with the re-
mote transmitter.
The system does not operate when the key is inserted

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. " If any door (or the rear gate/trunk lid) remains open
after the 30-second period, the horn will continue to
sound for a maximum of 3 minutes. If the door (or the
rear gate/trunk lid) is closed while the horn is sound-
ing, 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 sensors (dealer option)) ! Activating and deactivating the alarm

6. Briefly press the “ ” button (for less than two sec-
onds). All doors (and the rear gate on the Station wag-
on) will lock, an electronic chirp will sound one time,
the turn signal lights will flash one time and the indica-
tor light starts flashing slowly (approximately twice ev-
ery two seconds).
The system will then be armed for surveillance after a
standby time of approximately 30 seconds.
If any of the doors, (rear gate or trunk lid) is not fully
closed, an electronic chirp sounds five times, the turn
signal lights flash five times to alert you that the doors
(or the rear gate) are not properly closed. When you
close the door, the system will automatically arm and doors will automatically lock.
NOTE "
The system can be armed even if the engine
hood, the windows and/or moonroofs are opened.
Always make sure that they are fully closed before
arming the system. " The 30-second standby time can be eliminated if
you prefer. Have it performed by your SUBARU
dealer. " If your vehicle is a Sedan and you unlock the
trunk using the remote transmitter’s “ ” but-
ton with the alarm system armed, the system will
be temporarily placed in a standby state. The sys-
tem will go back to the surveillance state upon
locking the trunk. " The system is in the standby mode for a 30-sec-
ond period after locking the doors with the remote
transmitter. The security indicator light will flash
at short intervals during this period. " If any of the following actions is done during the
standby period, the system will not switch to the
surveillance state. "Doors are unlocked using the remote trans-
mitter." Any door (including the rear gate of a Station
wagon or the trunk of a Sedan) is opened. " Ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position.
