start flashing rapidly. After rapid flashing
for 30 seconds (standby time), the security
indicator light will then flash slowly (twice
approximately every 2 seconds), indicat-
ing that the system has been armed forsurveillance. NOTE . The system can be armed even if the
engine hood, the windows and/or
moonroof are open. 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 per-
formed by your SUBARU dealer.. If your vehicle is a Legacy and you
open the trunk using the remote trans-mitter ’s “
”button with the alarm
system armed, the system will be
temporarily placed in a standby state.
The system will go back to the surveil-
lance state upon locking the trunk.. The system is in the standby mode
for a 30-second 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 surveil-
lance state. –
Doors are unlocked using the
remote transmitter. – Any door (including the rear gate
(Outback) or the trunk (Legacy)) is opened. – Ignition switch is turned to the
“ ON ”position.
& Disarming the system
Briefly press the “
”button (for less than
2 seconds) 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 security
indicator light will turn off.
To unlock all other doors and the rear gate
(Outback), briefly press the “
”button a
second time within 5 seconds. ! Emergency disarming
If you cannot disarm the system using the
transmitter (i.e. the transmitter is lost,
broken or the transmitter battery is too
weak), you can disarm the system without
using the transmitter.
The system can be disarmed if you turn
the ignition switch from the “LOCK ”to the
“ ON ”position with a registered key. &
Valet mode
When you choose the valet mode, the
alarm system does not operate. In valet
mode, the remote transmitter is used only
for locking and unlocking the doors and
rear gate (Outback) and panic activation.
To enter the valet mode, change the
setting of your vehicle ’s alarm system for
deactivation mode. Refer to “Activating
and deactivating the alarm system ”F 2-
16. The security indicator light will con-
tinue to flash once every 3 seconds
indicating that the system is in the valetmode.
To exit valet mode, change the setting of
your vehicle ’s alarm system for activation
mode. Refer to “Activating and deactivat-
ing the alarm system ”F 2-16.
& Passive arming
When passive arming mode has been
programmed by the dealer, arming of the
system is automatically accomplished
without using the remote transmitter. Note
that in this mode, DOORS MUST BE
MANUALLY LOCKED. ! To enter the passive mode
If you wish to program the passive arming
mode, have it done by your SUBARU
dealer.

!Arming the system
CAUTION
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 in-
dicated in step 4 below 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.
1) LOCK
2) ON
2. Turn the ignition switch from “ON ”to “
LOCK ”position and remove the key from
the ignition switch.
3. Open the doors and get out of the vehicle.
4. Before closing the doors, lock all doors
with the inside door lock levers.
5. Close the doors. The system will
automatically arm after 1 minute.
In the passive mode, the system can also
be armed with the remote transmitter or
with the power door locking switches. If
the remote transmitter or power door
locking switch is used to lock the vehicle,
arming will take place immediately regard-
less of whether or not the passive mode
has been selected. !
Disarming the system
To disarm the system, briefly press the “
” button on the transmitter.
& 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
illuminate for 1 second and then flash asfollows: . When a door or rear gate (Outback)
was opened: 5 times. When the trunk (Legacy) was opened:
4 times . When a strong impact or multiple
impacts were sensed: twice (only models
with shock sensors (dealer option)) . When a light impact was sensed: once
(only models 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 Keys and doors

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.Examples:
–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 turn the child safety locks to the “LOCK ”position when children
sit on the rear seat. Serious injury
could result if a child accidentally
opens the door and falls 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.

Ignition switch
WARNING
. Never turn the ignition switch to
“ LOCK ”while the vehicle is
being driven or towed because
that will lock the steering wheel,
preventing steering control. And
when the engine is turned off, it
takes a much greater effort than
usual to steer.
. Before leaving the vehicle, al-
ways 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 or
others. Children could operate
the power windows, the sunroof
or other controls or even make
the vehicle move.
CAUTION
Do not attach a large key holder or
key case to either key. If it banged
against your knees or hands while
you are driving, it could turn the
ignition switch from the “ON ”posi- tion to the
“Acc ”or “LOCK ”posi-
tion, thereby stopping the engine.
Also, if the key is attached to a
keyholder or to a large bunch of
other keys, centrifugal force may act
on it as the vehicle moves, resulting
in unwanted turning of the ignitionswitch.
The ignition switch has four positions:
LOCK, Acc, ON and START.
NOTE . Keep the ignition switch in the
“ LOCK ”position when the engine is
not running. . Using electrical accessories for a
long time with the ignition switch in the“ ON ”or “Acc ”position can cause the
battery to go dead. .
If the ignition switch will not move
from the “LOCK ”position to the “Acc ”
position, turn the steering wheel
slightly to the left and right as you turn
the ignition switch.
& LOCK
The key can only be inserted or removed
in this position. The ignition switch will lock
the steering wheel when you remove the
key.
If turning the key is difficult, turn the
steering wheel slightly to the right and left
as you turn the key.
The key can be turned from “Acc ”to
“ LOCK ”only when the key is pushed in
while turning it (all models) and the select
lever is in the “P ” position (AT and CVT
models). Instruments and controls
