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 yourvehicle.
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
deactivation yourself or have it done by
your SUBARU dealer. & System operation
The alarm system will give the following
alarms when triggered. . The vehicle ’s horn will sound for 30
seconds.. The turn signal lights will flash for 30
seconds.
If any of the doors or the rear gate remains
open after the 30-second period, the horn
will continue to sound for a maximum of 3
minutes. If any of the doors 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:.
Opening any of the doors or the rear
gate. Physical impact to the vehicle, such as
forced entry (only vehicles with shock
sensors (dealer option))
NOTE
The alarm system can be set to trigger
the illumination of the following interiorlights. . Dome light (illuminates only when
the dome light switch is in the “DOOR ”
position) . Map lights
The notifications regarding the dome
light and the map lights are deactivated
as the factory setting. A SUBARU
dealer can activate the system. Contact
your SUBARU dealer for details. & 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. Refer to “ Disarming the system ”F 2-18. 2. Sit in the driver
’s seat and shut all
doors and the rear gate.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON ”
position.
4. Hold down the UNLOCK side of the driver ’s power door locking switch, open
the driver ’s door within the following 1
second, and wait 10 seconds without
releasing the switch. The setting will then
be changed as follows.
If the system was previously activated:
The odometer/trip meter screen displays “ AL oF ”and the horn sounds twice,
indicating that the system is now deacti- vated.
If the system was previously deacti- vated:
The odometer/trip meter screen displays “ AL on ”and the horn sounds once,
indicating that the system is now acti-vated.
NOTE
You may have the above setting
change done by your SUBARU dealer.

2-20Keys and doors/Alarm system
&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 was opened:
5 times. When the ignition switch was turned to
the “ON ”position by using a key not
registered with your immobilizer system: 3 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 vehicles with shock sensors (dealer option))
NOTE
Any of the above indicator light flash-
ing patterns will recur each time the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON ”
position. Rearming the alarm system
cancels the flashing pattern of the
security indicator light. &
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
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 list 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. Example:
–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.

WARNING
If this light does not illuminate
briefly after the ignition switch is
turned ON or the light illuminates
steadily after blinking for approxi-
mately one minute, you should have
your Tire Pressure Monitoring Sys-
tem checked at a SUBARU dealer as
soon as possible.
If this light illuminates while driving,
never brake suddenly and keep
driving straight ahead while gradu-
ally reducing speed. Then slowly
pull off the road to a safe place.
Otherwise an accident involving
serious vehicle damage and serious
personal injury could occur.
If this light still illuminates while
driving after adjusting the tire pres-
sure, a tire may have significant
damage and a fast leak that causes
the tire to lose air rapidly. If you have
a flat tire, replace it with a spare tire
as soon as possible.
When a spare tire is mounted or a
wheel rim is replaced without the
original pressure sensor/transmitter
being transferred, the Low tire pres-
sure warning light will illuminate
steadily after blinking for approxi-
mately one minute. This indicates that the TPMS is unable to monitor
all four road wheels. Contact your
SUBARU dealer as soon as possible
for tire and sensor replacement and/
or system resetting. If the light
illuminates steadily after blinking
for approximately one minute,
promptly contact a SUBARU dealer
to have the system inspected.
CAUTION
The tire pressure monitoring system
is NOT a substitute for manually
checking tire pressure. The tire
pressure should be checked peri-
odically (at least monthly) using a
tire gauge. After any change to tire
pressure(s), the tire pressure mon-
itoring system will not re-check tire
inflation pressures until the vehicle
is first driven more than 20 mph (32
km/h). Therefore, after adjusting the
tire pressures, increase the vehicle
speed to at least 20 mph (32 km/h) to
start the TPMS re-checking of the
tire inflation pressures. If the tire
pressures are now above the severe
low pressure threshold, the low tire
pressure warning light should turn
off a few minutes later. Therefore, be
sure to install the specified size for the front and rear tires.
& ABS warning light
CAUTION
If the warning light behaves as
follows, the ABS system may not
work properly.
When the warning light illuminates,
the ABS function shuts down; how-
ever, the conventional brake system
continues to operate normally. . The warning light does not illu-
minate when the ignition switch
is turned to the “ON ”position.
. The warning light illuminates
when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON ”position, but
it does not turn off even when the
vehicle speed exceeds approxi-
mately 8 mph (12 km/h).
. The warning light illuminates dur-
ing driving.
If any of these conditions occur,
have the ABS system repaired at
the first available opportunity by
your SUBARU dealer.

Always check that the inside and outside
mirrors are properly adjusted before you
start driving. &
Type A inside mirror (if equipped)
The mirror has a day and night position.
Pull the tab at the bottom of the mirror
toward you for the night position. Push it
away for the day position. The night
position reduces glare from headlights. &
Type B inside mirror (if equipped)
1) Electronic compass display
2) Rear view image display
3) Auto dimming indicator
4) Multifunction button
5) Photosensor
The mirror has the following features. . Rear view image display
. Auto-dimming function for anti-glare
capability. Electronic compass display
You can display the various functions of
these features based on how long you
press the multifunction button.

3-40Instruments and controls/Mirrors
The mirror has a photosensor attached on
both the front and back sides. Use care
not to cover the sensors with stickers, or
other similar items. Periodically wipe the
sensors clean using a piece of dry soft
cotton cloth or an applicator. NOTE
When cleaning the mirror, use a paper
towel or similar item dampened with
glass cleaner. Do not spray glass
cleaner directly on the mirror surface.
By doing so, the sprayed glass cleaner
could enter the inside of the mirror
housing. That may cause a malfunction
in the mirror.!
Electronic compass display
By pressing the multifunction button for 3
to 6 seconds, the compass display is
toggled on or off. When the compass
display is on, an illuminated compass
reading will appear on the mirror.
Using the electronic compass properly,
the following compass zone adjustment
and compass calibration will be neces-
sary.
!Compass zone adjustment
1. The compass zone has been set tozone “8 ” at the time of shipment from the
factory. Refer to the “Compass calibration
zones ”map, which is attached to the end
of this manual to verify that the compass
zone setting is correct for your geographi-
cal location.
2. Press and hold the multifunction but-
ton for 6 to 9 seconds, and then release it.
The zone number will be displayed.
3. Press the multifunction button repeat-
edly to cycle the display through all
possible zone settings. Stop cycling when
the correct zone number for your location
is displayed.
4. Releasing the button for 3 seconds will
exit the zone setting mode. !
Compass calibration
1. For optimum calibration, switch off all
nonessential electrical accessories (rear
window defogger, heater/air conditioning
system, spotlight, etc.) and ensure all
doors are shut.
2. Drive to an open, level area away from
large metallic objects or structures and
make certain the ignition switch is in the“ ON ”position.
3. Press and hold the multifunction but-
ton for 9 to 12 seconds, and then release
it. The compass will enter the calibration
mode, then “C ” and the direction will be
displayed.
4. Drive slowly in a circle until “C ”
disappears from the display. Driving in
two or three circles might be necessary.
The compass is now calibrated.
5. Further calibration may be necessary
should outside influences cause the com-
pass to read inaccurately. You will notice
any outside influence if the compass tends
to read in only one particular direction.
Should you encounter this situation, return
to step 1 of the above procedure and
recalibrate the compass.

&Type C inside mirror (if equipped)
1) Left button
2) Auto dimming indicator
3) Photosensor
4) Right button
This mirror has an anti-glare feature which
automatically reduces glare coming from
headlights of vehicles behind you. It also
contains a built-in compass. . By pressing and releasing the left
button, the automatic dimming function is
toggled on or off. When the automatic
dimming function is on, the auto dimming
indicator light (green) located to the right
of the button will illuminate. . By pressing and releasing the right
button, the compass display is toggled on or off. When the compass is on, an
illuminated compass reading will appear
in the lower part of the mirror.
Even with the mirror in anti-glare mode,
the mirror surface turns bright if the
transmission is shifted into reverse. This
is to ensure good rearward visibility duringreversing. !
Photosensors
The mirror has a photosensor attached on
both the front and back sides. If the glare
from the headlights of vehicles behind you
strikes the mirror, these sensors detect it
and make the reflection surface of the
mirror dimmer to help prevent you from
being blinded. For this reason, use care
not to cover the sensors with stickers, or
other similar items. Periodically wipe the sensors clean using a piece of dry soft
cotton cloth or an applicator. !
Compass calibration
1. For optimum calibration, switch off all
nonessential electrical accessories (rear
window defogger, heater/air conditioning
system, spotlight, etc.) and ensure all
doors are shut.
2. Drive to an open, level area away from
large metallic objects or structures and
make certain the ignition switch is in the“ ON ”position.
3. Press and hold the left button for 3
seconds then release, and the compass
will enter the calibration mode. “CAL ”and
direction will be displayed.
4. Drive slowly in a circle until “CAL ”
disappears from the display (approxi-
mately two or three circles). The compass
is now calibrated.
5. Further calibration may be necessary
should outside influences cause the mirror
to read inaccurately. You will know that
this has occurred if your compass begins
to read in only limited directions. Should
you encounter this situation, return to step
one of the above procedure and recali-
brate the mirror.

to the OFF position as soon as the
outside dusty condition clears.
NOTE
When driving on a dusty road or behind
a vehicle that emits unpleasant exhaust
gases, set the air inlet selection button
to the ON position.
From time to time, return the air inlet
selection button to the OFF position to
draw outside air into the passengercompartment. &
Rear air conditioner
The rear air conditioner blows cool air out
of the rear ventilators while the “A/C ”
button on the control panel is in the “ON ”
position. The fan speed of the rear air
conditioner can be adjusted using the rear
air conditioner dial behind the center
console. The fan speed can be adjusted
in four steps by turning the dial. Turn the
dial to the “OFF ”position to stop the fan.
NOTE . When the “A/C ”button is in the
“ OFF ”position and when the “A/C ”
indicator is not illuminated during
AUTO mode operation, the air condi-
tioner compressor does not operate,
meaning that the system merely blows
uncooled air out of the ventilators. .
The outlet air temperature of the rear
air conditioner cannot be adjusted.. The rear air conditioner cannot be
used as a heater. & Temperature sensors
1) Interior air temperature sensor
2) Solar sensor
The automatic climate control system
employs several sensors. These sensors
are delicate. If they are treated incorrectly
and become damaged, the system may
not be able to control the interior tempera-
ture correctly. To avoid damaging the
sensors, observe the following precau-tions. – Do not subject the sensors to impact.
– Keep water away from the sensors.

–Do not cover the sensors.
The sensors are located as follows. – Solar sensor: beside windshield
defroster grille– Interior air temperature sensor: on the
side of the driver-side part of the center panel – Outside temperature sensor: behind
front grille Operating tips for heater and
air conditioner &
Cleaning ventilator grille
Always keep the front ventilator inlet grille
free of snow, leaves, or other obstructions
to ensure efficient heating and defrosting.
Since the condenser is located in front of
the radiator, this area should be kept clean
because cooling performance is impaired
by any accumulation of insects and leaves
on the condenser. &Efficient cooling after parking
in direct sunlight
After parking in direct sunlight, drive with
the windows open for a few minutes to
allow outside air to circulate into the heated interior. This results in quicker
cooling by the air conditioner. Keep the
windows closed during the operation of
the air conditioner for maximum cooling
efficiency. &
Lubrication oil circulation in
the refrigerant circuit
Operate the air conditioner compressor at
a low engine speed (at idle or low driving
speeds) a few minutes each month during
the off-season to circulate its oil. & Checking air conditioning
system before summer sea-son
Check the air conditioner unit for refriger-
ant leaks, hose conditions, and proper
operation each spring. Have the air con-
ditioning system checked by your
SUBARU dealer. & Cooling and dehumidifying in
high humidity and low tem-
perature weather conditions
Under certain weather conditions (high
relative humidity, low temperatures, etc.) a
small amount of water vapor emission
from the air outlets may be noticed. This
condition is normal and does not indicate
any problem with the air conditioning
