keyless entry SUBARU TRIBECA 2014 1.G Owners Manual

&On-road and off-road driving
This vehicle is classified as a utilityvehicle. Utility vehicles have a significantlyhigher rollover rate than other types ofvehicles. Your vehicle has a higher groundclearance and higher center of gravity,making it more likely to roll over thanordinary passenger cars. It also handlesand maneuvers differently from otherpassenger cars. For this reason, pleasereadcarefully the following section andfollow the instructions and precautions inorder to prevent serious injury or deathdue to loss of control, rollover and otheraccidents. Refer to“On-road and off-roaddriving”F8-6.

Remote keyless entry system
CAUTION
.Do not expose the remote trans-mitter to severe shocks, such asthose experienced as a result ofdroppingor throwing.
.Do not take the remote transmit-ter apart except when replacingthe battery.
.Do not get the remote transmitterwet. If it gets wet, wipe it dry witha cloth immediately.
.When you carry the remote trans-mitter on an airplane, do notpress the button of the remotetransmitter whilein the airplane.When any button of the remotetransmitter is pressed, radiowaves are sent and may affectthe operation of the airplane.When you carry the remote trans-mitter in a bag on an airplane,take measures to prevent thebuttons of the remote transmitterfrom being pressed.
This device complies with Part 15 ofthe FCC Rules and with RSS-210 ofIndustry Canada. Operation is subject

to the following two conditions: (1) Thisdevice may not cause harmful inter-ference, and (2) this device mustaccept any interference received, in-cluding interference that may causeundesired operation.
Changes or modifications not ex-pressly approved by the party respon-sible for compliance could void theuser’s authority to operate the equip-ment.
The transmitter for the remote keylessentry system is located inside the keyhead.
The remote keyless entry system has thefollowing functions.
.Locking and unlocking the doors andrear gatewithout a key
.Unlocking the rear gate without key
.Sounding a panic alarm
.Arming and disarming the alarm sys-tem. For detailed information, refer to“Alarm system”F2-16.
The operable distance of the remotekeyless entry system is approximately 30feet (10 meters). However, this distancewill vary depending on environmentalconditions.
The system’s operable distance will beshorter in areas near a facility or electronic
equipment emitting strong radio wavessuch as a power plant, broadcast station,TV tower, or remote controller of homeelectronic appliances.
NOTE
The remote keyless entry system doesnot operate when the ignition key isinserted in the ignition switch or whenany of the doors or the rear gate is notfully closed.

&Locking the doors
Press the“”button to lock all doors andrear gate. An electronic chirp will soundonce and the turn signal lights will flashonce.
If any of the doors or the rear gate is notfully closed, an electronic chirp will soundfive times and the turn signal lights willflash five times to alert you that any of thedoorsor the rear gate is not properlyclosed. When you close the door, it willautomatically lock and then an electronicchirp will sound once and the turn signallights will flash once.

2. Open the key head using a flat-headscrewdriver.
3. Remove the transmitter case from thekey head.
4. Open the transmitter case by releasingthe hooks.
5. Remove the old battery from theholder.
1) Negative (!) side facing up
6. Replace with a new battery (TypeCR1620or equivalent) making sure toinstall the new battery with the negative(!) side facing up.
7. Put together the transmitter case byfitting thehooks on both sides of the case.
8. Put the transmitter case in the keyhead and then put together the key head.
9. Reinstall the screw on the key head.
After the battery is replaced, the trans-mitter must be synchronized with theremote keyless entry system’s controlunit. Press either the“”or“”buttonsix times to synchronize the unit.
&Replacing lost transmitters
If you lose a transmitter or want topurchase additional transmitters (up tofour can be programmed), you should re-program all of your transmitters for secur-ity reasons. It is recommended that youhave your dealer program all of yourtransmittersinto your system.
!Programming the transmitters
The remote keyless entry system isequipped witha special code learningfeature that allows you to program newtransmitter codes into the system or todelete old ones. The system can learn upto four unique transmitter codes. The fourtransmitter codes may be the same or

different.
Programming transmitter codes intosystem:
Key tag
Transmitter circuit board
To register a new transmitter with the
remote keyless entry system, it is neces-sary to program the transmitter’s code(identification number) into the system. Atag showing the code is affixed to the keyunit, and another is affixed to the circuitboard inside the transmitter. If there is notag, open the transmitter case and make anote of the eight-digit number. Programthe number into the system in accordancewith the following procedure.
1. Firmly close the doors and the reargate.
2. Open the driver’s door, sit on thedriver’s seat, and close the door.
3. Perform the following steps within 45seconds.
(1) Open and close the driver’s dooronce.
1) LOCK2) ON
(2) Insert the key into the ignitionswitch, then turn it from the“LOCK”position to the“ON”position 10 timeswithin 15 seconds.
NOTE
.When you complete step (2), anelectronic tone will sound once, abuzzer will continue to sound and theinterior light will continue to flash untilthe transmitter codes are completelyregistered..If you do not perform steps (1) and(2) within 45 seconds, an error willoccur. Neither an electronic tone northe buzzer will sound, and the interiorlamp will not flash. In this event, per-
Keys and doors2-13
–CONTINUED–

NOTE
.When you finish entering the eighthdigit, an electronic tone will sound for30 seconds..If the interval between one push ofthe switch and the next exceeds 5seconds, an error will occur. In thisevent, perform the procedure againbeginning with part 4. If an error occurssix times, perform the procedure againstarting with part 3.
8. Before the electronic tone stopssounding, use the power door lockingswitch to reenter the transmitter codebeginningwith the leftmost digit.
NOTE
If you do not start entering the numberusing the lock knob before the electro-nic tone stops sounding, an error willoccur. In this event, perform the proce-dure again beginning with part 3.
9. When you have finished entering thecode a second time, an electronic tone willsound for 1 second and automatic doorlocking and unlocking operation will takeplace once to indicate completion ofregistration, provided the code enteredthe second time is identical to that enteredthe first time.
NOTE
If the code entered the second time isnot identical to the code entered thefirst time, an error will occur. In thisevent, perform the procedure againbeginning with part 5. If an error occursfive times, perform the procedure againstarting with part 3.
10. If you wish to program another trans-mitter code into the system (up to fourtransmitter codes can be programmed intothe system), perform the procedure begin-ning with part 4. When you have finishedprogramming all of the necessary trans-mitter codes into the system, remove thekey from the ignition switch.
11. Test every registered transmitter toconfirm correctoperation.
!Deleting old transmitter codes
The control unit of the remote keylessentry system has four memory locations tostore transmitter codes, giving it the abilityto operate with up to four transmitters.When you lose a transmitter, the losttransmitter’s code remains in the memory.For security reasons, lost transmittercodes should be deleted from the mem-ory.
To delete old transmitter codes, programfour transmitter codes into the system. If
you have only one current transmitter,program it four times. If you have twocurrent transmitters, program each onetwice. If you have three current transmit-ters, program two of them once and thethird one twice. This process will leaveonly current transmitter codes in thesystem’s memory.
NOTE
Make sure no one else is operatingtheir keyless entry system within rangeof your vehicle when programmingtransmitters. If someone else were tooperate their remote transmitter whileyou are programming your transmit-ters, it is possible that their transmittercode will be programmed into yoursystem, allowing them unauthorizedaccess to your vehicle.
