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
into the ignition switch.
Your vehicle’s alarm system has been set for activa-
tion at the time of shipment from the factory. You can
set the system for deactivation 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. " 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
system
To change the setting of your vehicle’s alarm system
for activation or deactivation, do the following.
1. Disarm the alarm system (see “Disarming the sys-
tem” in this section).
2. Sit in the driver’s seat and shut all doors (and the
rear gate if your vehicle is a Station wagon).
3. Cycle the ignition switch from “LOCK” to “ON” three
times within 10 seconds, finally placing it in the “ON”
position.
4. Within 10 seconds after step 3, open the driver’s

played on the odometer/trip meter screen.
5. Within 10 seconds after step 4, operate the driver’s
door locking switch as follows:

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.

The alarm system is triggered when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position during sur-
veillance. However, this does not occur if the vehi-
cle is equipped with an immobilizer and the key
used for turning the ignition switch has been reg-
istered. " If your vehicle is not equipped with an immobi-
lizer, the engine does not start even when the igni- tion switch is turned to the “START” position once
the alarm system has been triggered. ! Disarming the system
Briefly press the “ ” button (for less than two sec-
onds) on the remote transmitter. The driver’s door will
unlock, an electronic chirp will sound twice, the turn
signal lights will flash twice and the indicator light will
go off.
To unlock all other doors and the rear gate (Station
wagon), briefly press the “ ” button a second time.
NOTE
If the interval between the first and second press-
es of the “ ” button (for unlocking of all of the
doors and the rear gate) is extremely short, the
system may not respond.
Or the system can be disarmed by the following method, too. "
Insert the key in the door lock of the driver’s
door and turn it to the unlock position." Cycle the ignition switch from the “LOCK” to the
“ON” position three times within 5 seconds (only

!Valet mode
When you choose the valet mode, the alarm system
does not operate. In valet mode, the remote transmit-
ter is used only for locking and unlocking the doors
and rear gate (Station wagon) and panic activation.
To enter the valet mode, change the setting of your ve-
hicle’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 three seconds indicating that the sys-
tem is in the valet mode (only vehicle with an immobi- lizer).
To exit valet mode, change the setting of your vehi-
cle’s alarm system for activation mode. (Refer to “Ac-
tivating and deactivating the alarm system” in this sec- tion.)
NOTE
If your vehicle is not equipped with an immobiliz-
er, the security indicator light does not flash dur-
ing the valet mode. ! Passive arming
When passive arming mode has been programmed by
the dealer, arming of the system is automatically ac-
complished without using the remote transmitter. Note that in this mode, DOORS MUST BE MANUALLYLOCKED. !
To enter the passive mode
If you wish to program the passive arming mode, have
it done by your SUBARU dealer. ! Arming the system
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 indicated in step 4 be-
low 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.

door lock switch is used to lock the vehicle, arming will
take place immediately regardless of whether or not
the passive mode has been selected. !

Child safety locks
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 !Power windows
To avoid serious personal injury caused by en-
trapment, you must do the following."When operating the power windows, be ex-
tremely careful to prevent anyone’s fingers,
arms, neck or head from being caught in the
window. " Always lock the passengers’ windows using
the lock switch when children are riding in the
vehicle. " Before leaving the vehicle, always remove
the key from the ignition switch for safety and
never allow an unattended child to remain in
the vehicle. Failure to follow this procedure
could result in injury to a child operating the
power window.
The power windows operate only when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position. !

Trunk lid (Sedan)
" To prevent dangerous exhaust gas from en-
tering the vehicle, always keep the trunk lid
closed while driving. " Help prevent young children from locking
themselves in the trunk. When leaving the vehi-
cle, either close all windows and lock all doors
or cancel the inside trunk lid release. Also make
certain that the trunk is closed. On hot or sunny
days, the temperature in the trunk could quickly
become high enough to cause death or serious
heat-related injuries including brain damage,
particularly for small children.
! To open and close the trunk lid from
outside
The trunk lid can be opened using the remote keyless entry system. Refer to “Remote keyless entry system
(if equipped)” section in this chapter.
