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

!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.

!Tripped sensor identification
The security indicator light flashes when the alarm
system has been triggered. Also, the number of flash-
es indicates the location of unauthorized intrusion or
the severity of impact on the vehicle. " When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion, 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
When a strong impact or multiple impacts were
sensed: twice (only vehicles with shock sensors
(dealer option))
When a light impact was sensed: once (only vehi-
cles with shock sensors (dealer option))
! Shock sensors (dealer option)
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 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 breaking 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 vibration like
those shown below and trigger the alarm system.
Select the settings of the alarm system and shock
sensors appropriately depending 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 sen-
sors adjusted to your preference by your SUBARU
dealer.
