„ Sounding a panic alarm
A “PANIC” button is located on the back of
the transmitter.
To activate the alarm, press the “PANIC”
button once.
The horn will sound and the turn signal
lights will flash.
To deactivate the panic alarm, press any
button on the remote transmitter. Unless a

seconds.
„ Selecting audible signal op-
erationUsing an electronic chirp, the system will
give you an audible signal when the doors
lock and unlock. If desired, you may turn the audible signal off.
Do the following to deactivate the audible
signal. You can also use the same steps
to restore the function.
1. Sit in the driver’s seat and shut all
doors and the rear gate.
2. Hold down the UNLOCK side of the
power door locking switch.
3. While holding down the “UNLOCK”
side of the power door locking switch, pull
the key out and re-insert it into the ignition
switch at least 6 times within 10 seconds
after Step 2.
4. Open and close the driver’s door once
within 10 seconds after Step 3.
5. The turn signal lights flash 3 times to in-
dicate completion of the setting.
You may have the above settings done by
your SUBARU dealer.
„ Replacing the battery
When the transmitter battery begins to get
weak, transmitter range will begin to de-
crease. Replace the battery as soon as
possible. To replace the battery:
1. Open the transmitter case using a flat-
head screwdriver.
2. Remove the old battery from the hold-
er.200714
Do not let dust, oil or water get on or
in the transmitter when replacing
the battery. 200902

four transmitter codes into the system. If
you have only one current transmitter,
program it four times. If you have two cur-
rent transmitters, pr ogram each one twice.
If you have three current transmitters, pro-
gram two of them once and the third one
twice. This process will leave only current
transmitter codes in the system’s memory.
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 transmit-
ters, 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 vehi-
cle.
The system can be armed and disarmed
with the remote transmitter.
The system does no t operate when the
key is inserted into the ignition switch.
Your vehicle’s alarm system has been set
for activation at the time of shipment from
the factory. You can set the system for de-
activation yourself or have it done by your
SUBARU dealer.
„ System alarm operation The alarm system will give the following
alarms when triggered:
y The vehicle’s horn will sound and the
turn signal lights will flash for 30 seconds.
y If any door (or the rear gate/trunk lid) re-
mains open after the 30-second period,
the horn will continue to sound for a maxi-
mum of 3 minutes. If the door (or the rear
gate/trunk lid) is closed while the horn is
sounding, the horn will stop sounding with
a delay of up to 30 seconds.
The alarm is triggered by: y Opening a door, the rear gate or trunk
lid
y Physical impact to the vehicle, such as
forced entry (only vehicles with shock sen-
sors (dealer option))
„ Activating and deactivating
the alarm system To change the setting of your vehicle’s
alarm system for activation or deactiva-
tion, do the following.
1. Disarm the alarm system (see “Disarm-
ing the system” 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. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” po-
sition.
4. Hold down the UNLOCK side of the
driver’s power door locking switch, open
the driver’s door within the following 1 sec-
ond, and wait 10 seconds without releas-
ing the switch. The setting will then be
changed as follows:
If the system was pr eviously activated:
The odometer/trip meter screen displays
“AL oF” and the horn sounds twice, indi-
cating that the system is now deactivated.
If the system was prev iously deactivated:
The odometer/trip meter screen displays

– CONTINUED –“AL on” and the horn sounds once, indi-
cating that the system is now activated.
NOTE You may have the above setting
change done by your SUBARU dealer.
„ If you have accidentally trig-
gered the alarm systemT To stop the alarm
Do any of the following operations:
y Insert the key in the door lock of the
driver’s door and turn it to the unlock posi-
tion.
y Press any button on the remote trans-
mitter.
y Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” po-
sition.
„ Arming the systemT To arm the system using remote
transmitter
1. Close all windows and the moonroof (if
so equipped).
2. Remove the key from the ignition
switch.
3. Open the doors and get out of the vehi-
cle.
4. Make sure that the engine hood (and
the trunk lid on the Sedan) are locked. 5. Close all doors (and the rear gate on
the Station wagon).
: Press to Arm the system.
: Press to Disarm the system.
6. Briefly press the “ ” button (for less than two seconds). All doors (and the rear
gate on the Station wagon) will lock, an
electronic chirp will sound once, the turn
signal lights will flash once, and the indica-
tor lights will start flashing rapidly. After
rapid flashing for 30 seconds (standby
time), the indicator lights will then flash
slowly (twice approximately every two
seconds), indicating that the system has
been armed for surveillance.
If any of the doors, (re ar 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 automat-
ically lock.
T To arm the system using power
door locking switches
1. Close all windows.
2. Remove the key from the ignition
switch.
3. Open the doors and get out of the vehi-
cle.
4. Make sure that the engine hood is
locked.
5. Close the doors (and the rear gate on
the station wagon) but leave only the driv-
er’s door or the front passenger’s door
open. 200918

T Disarming the system
To disarm the system, briefly press the
“ ” button on the transmitter.
„ Tripped sensor identificationThe security indicator light flashes when
the alarm system has been triggered. Al-
so, the number of flashes indicates the lo-
cation of unauthorized intrusion or the se-
verity of impact on the vehicle.
y 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 wag-
on) was opened: 5 times
When the trunk (Sedan) was opened: 4
times
When a strong impact or multiple im-
pacts were sensed: twice (only vehicles
with shock sensors (dealer option))
When a light impact was sensed: once
(only vehicles with shock sensors (deal-
er option))
„ Shock sensors (dealer op-
tion)The shock sensors trigger the alarm sys-
tem 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 im-
pact is weak, but it warns of a strong im-
pact 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 y The shock sensors are not always
able to sense impacts caused by
breaking in, and cannot sense an im-
pact that does not cause vibration
(such as breaking the glass using a
rescue hammer).
y The shock sensors may sense vibra-
tion like those shown in the following
and trigger the alarm system. Select
the settings of the alarm system and
shock sensors appropriately depend-
ing on where you usually park your ve-
hicle.
Example:
Vibration from construction site
Vibration in multistory car park
Vibration from trains
y You can have the sensitivity of the
shock sensors adjusted to your prefer-
ence by your SUBARU dealer. Child safety locks
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. 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.
