ishing with the eighth digit.
NOTE y
When you finish entering the eighth
digit, an electronic tone will sound for
30 seconds.y If the interval between one push of
the switch and the next exceeds five
seconds, an error will occur. In this
event, perform the procedure again be-

sound once, the turn signal lights will flash
once and the indicator lights will start
flashing rapidly. After rapid flashing for 30
seconds (standby time), the indicator
lights will then flash slowly (twice approxi-
mately every two seconds), indicating that
the system has been armed for surveil-
lance.
If any of the doors, (or the rear gate) 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 auto-
matically arm and doors will automatically
lock. TTo arm the system using power
door locking switches
1. Close all windows.
2. Remove the key from the ignitionswitch.
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 but
leave only the driver’s door or the front
passenger’s door open. 6. Push the front side (“LOCK” side) of
the power door locking switch to set the
door locks.
7. Close the door. An electronic chirp will
sound once, the turn signal lights will flash
once and the indicator light will start flash-
ing slowly (approximately once every two seconds) to inform you that the system has armed.
NOTE y
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.y The 30-second standby time can be
eliminated if you prefer. Have it per-
formed by your SUBARU dealer. y
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. y If any of the following actions is done
during the standby period, the system
will not switch to the surveillance state. yDoors are unlocked using the re-
mote transmitter.y Any door (including the rear gate)
is opened. y Ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position.
„ Disarming the system
Briefly press the “ ” button (for less
than two seconds) on the remote transmit-
ter. The driver’s door will unlock, an elec-
tronic chirp will sound twice, the turn sig-
nal lights will flash twice and the indicator
light will go off.
To unlock all other doors and the rear
gate, briefly press the “ ” button a
second time within 5 seconds.
NOTE
If the interval between the first and sec-
ond presses of the “ ” button (for
unlocking of all of the doors and the
rear gate) is extremely short, the sys-

tem may not respond. T
Emergency disarming
If you cannot disarm the system using the
transmitter (i.e. the transmitter is lost, bro-
ken 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 and panic activation.
To enter the valet mode, change the set-
ting of your vehicle’s alarm system for de-
activation mode. (Refer to “Activating and
deactivating the alarm system” in this sec-
tion.) The security indicator light will con-
tinue to flash once every three seconds in-
dicating that the system is in the valet
mode.
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” in this section.) „
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. T To enter the passive mode
If you wish to program the passive arming
mode, have it done by your SUBARU
dealer. T Arming the system
1. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” po- sition. 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 vehi- cle.
In passive mode, the system will au-
tomatically 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 below or with the key once
they have been closed. Failure to
lock the doors manually will result
in a higher security risk.

Anti-entrapment function
When the moonroof senses an object
trapped between its glass and the vehi-
cle’s roof during closure, it automatically
moves back to either of the following posi-
tions according to the point at which it
senses the object:y When the moonroof senses the object
at a point between the halfway stop posi-
tion and fully closed position, it moves
back to the halfway stop position and
stops there. y When the moonroof senses the object
at a point between the halfway stop posi-
tion and fully open position, it moves back
to the fully open position and stops there.
The anti-entrapment function may also be
activated by a strong shock on the moon-
roof even when there is nothing trapped.NOTE
