„Security indicator light
The security indicator light deters potential
thieves by indicating that the vehicle is
equipped with an immobilizer system. It
begins flashing approximately 60 seconds
after the ignition switch is turned from the
“ON” position to the “ACC” or “LOCK” po- sition or immediately after the key is pulled
out.
If the security indicator light does not
flash, the immobilizer system may be
faulty. If this occurs, contact your
SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.
In case an unauthorized key is used (e.g. an imitation key), the security indicator
light comes on.NOTE
Even if the security indicator light
flashes irregularly or its fuse blows
(the light does not flash if its fuse is
blown), the immobilizer system will function normally. „ Key replacement
Your key number plate and security ID
plate will be required if you ever need a re-placement key made. Any new key must
be registered for use with your vehicle’s
immobilizer system before it can be used.
Up to four keys can be registered for use
with one vehicle.
For security, all the keys registered withyour vehicle’s immobilizer system will
have their ID codes erased and re-regis-
tered when a new key is made. Therefore,
all of your vehicle’s keys must be present-
ed when a new key is registered. Any key
that is not re-registered when a new key is
made cannot be used after the other keys
are re-registered. For information on re-
placement keys and on the registration ofkeys with your immobilizer system, con-
tact your SUBARU dealer.Door locks „ Locking and unlocking from

2-12 Keys and doors
Transmitter circuit board
To register a new transmitter with the key-
less entry system, it is necessary to pro-
gram the transmitter’s code (identification
number) into the system. A label showing
the code is affixed to the bag containing
the transmitter, and another is affixed to
the circuit board inside the transmitter. If
there is no bag, open the transmitter case
and make a note of the eight-digit number.
Program the number into the system in
accordance with the following procedure:
1. Firmly close the doors and the rear
gate or trunk lid.
2. Open the driver’s door, sit on the driv-
er’s seat, and close the door.
3. Perform the following steps within 45 seconds. 1) Open and close the driver’s door
once.
1) LOCK
2) ON 2) Insert the key into the ignition switch, then turn it from the “LOCK” position to
the “ON” position 10 times within 15 seconds.
NOTE y
When you complete step 2), an elec-
tronic tone will sound once, a buzzer
will continue to sound and the interior
light will continue to flash until the
transmitter codes are completely regis-tered. y If you do not perform steps 1) and 2)
within 45 seconds, an error will occur.
Neither an electronic tone nor the buzz-
er will sound, and the interior lamp will
not flash. In this event, perform the
whole procedure again beginning with
part 1.
4. Open and close the door once within 15 seconds.
NOTE y When part 4 of the procedure is com-
pleted, an electronic tone will sound
for 30 seconds. y If you do not perform the operations
in part 4 within 15 seconds, an error
will occur and the electronic tone will
not sound. In this event, perform the
registration steps again beginning with
part 3 of the procedure.

place once to indicate completion of regis-
tration, provided the code entered the sec-
ond time is identical to that entered the
first time.
NOTE
If the code entered the second time is not identical to the code entered the
first time, an error will occur. In this
event, perform the procedure again be-
ginning with part 5. If an error occurs
five times, perform the procedure
again starting with part 3.
10.If you wish to program another trans-
mitter code into the system (up to four
transmitter codes can be programmed
into the system), perform the procedure
beginning with part 4. When you have fin-
ished programming all of the necessary
transmitter codes into the system, remove
the key from the ignition switch.
11.Test every registered transmitter to
confirm correct operation. TDeleting old transmitter codes
The control unit of the keyless entry sys-
tem has four memory locations to store
transmitter codes, giving it the ability to
operate with up to four transmitters. When
you lose a transmitter, the lost transmit-
ter’s code remains in the memory. For se-
curity reasons, lost transmitter codes should be deleted from the memory.
To delete old transmitter codes, program
four transmitter codes into the system. If
you have only one current transmitter,
program it four times. If you have two cur-
rent transmitters, program 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 tooperate 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 not 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) 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) 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:

2-16 Keys and doors
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.

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.

4. Before closing the doors, lock all doors
with the inside door lock levers.
5. Close the doors. The system will auto-
matically arm after one 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 lock-
ing switch is used to lock the vehicle, arm-
ing will take place immediately regardless
of whether or not the passive mode has
been selected. TDisarming 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. 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 was opened:
5 times
When the ignition switch was turned to
the “ON” position by using a key not reg-
istered with your immobilizer system: 3
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.
