!Tripped sensor identification
The security indicator light flashes when
the alarm system has been triggered. Also,
the number of flashes indicates the loca-
tion of unauthorized intrusion or the
severity of impact on the vehicle.
After turning the ignition switch to the“ON”
position, the indicator light will light for 1
second and then flash as follows.
.When a door was opened: 5 times
.When the trunk was opened: 4 times
.When the engine hood was opened: 3
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))NOTEAny of the above indicator light flash-
ings will recur each time the ignition
switch is turned to the“ON”position.
Rearming the alarm system cancels the
flashing.!Shock sensors (dealer option)
The shock sensors trigger the alarm
system when they sense impacts applied
to the vehicle and when any of their electric
wires are cut. The alarm system causes
the horn to sound and the hazard warning
flashers 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 hazard
warning flashers, both lasting approxi-
mately 30 seconds.
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 rescue
hammer).
.The shock sensors may sense vibra-
tion as indicated in the following ex-
amples 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 a construction site
–Vibration in a multistory car park
–Vibration from trains
.You can have the sensitivity of the
shock sensors adjusted to your pre-
ference by your SUBARU dealer.

dren.
.When leaving the vehicle, close
all windows and lock all doors.

exposed to ambient light even for a short
time.
WARNING
Never allow any child to get in the
trunk and play with the release
handle. If the driver starts the vehi-
cle without knowing that a child is
inside the trunk and the child opens
the lid using the release handle, the
child could fall out and be killed or
seriously injured.
CAUTION
.Do not close the lid while gripping
the release handle. The handle
may be damaged.
.Do not use the handle as a hook
to fasten straps or ropes to
secure your cargo in the trunk.
Such use may result in damage of
the handle.
.Load the trunk so that cargo
cannot strike the release handle.
If the cargo hits the handle while
the vehicle is being driven, the
handle may be pulled and the
trunk lid may open. That may
cause cargo to fall out of the
trunk, which could create a trafficsafety hazard.
!Inspection
Perform the following steps at least twice a
year to check the release handle for
correct operation.
1. Open the trunk lid.
2. Use a flat-head screwdriver with a thin
blade. Slide the flat-head screwdriver
blade from the slit aperture of the lock
assembly fully to the end until you hear a
click.
This places the latch in the locked position.3. Move the release handle, from outside
the vehicle, in the direction of the arrow to
check if the latch is released.
If the latch is not released, contact your

SUBARU dealer.
In that case, use the key to release the
latch, then close the trunk lid.
Also, if the movement of the release
handle feels restricted or not entirely
smooth during operation, or the handle
and/or handle base is cracked, contact
your SUBARU dealer.
Moonroof (if equipped)
WARNING
Never let anyone’s hands, arms,
head or any objects protrude from
the moonroof. A person could be
seriously injured if the vehicle stops
suddenly or turns sharply or if the
vehicle is involved in an accident.
To avoid serious personal injury
caused by accidental, child’s mis-
chief, or improper operation, the
driver is responsible for obeying
the following instructions without
exception.
.Before closing the moonroof,
make sure that no one’s hands,
arms, head or other objects will
be accidentally caught in the
moonroof.
.Always carry the key when you
leave the vehicle for safety rea-
sons and never allow an unat-
tended child to remain in the
vehicle. Failure to follow this
procedure could result in injury
to a child operating the moon-
roof.
.Never try to check the anti-en-trapment function by deliberately
placing part of your body in the
moonroof.
CAUTION
.Do not sit on the edge of the open
moonroof.
.Do not operate the moonroof if
falling snow or extremely cold
conditions have caused it to
freeze shut.
.The anti-entrapment function
does not operate when the moon-
roof is being tilted down. Be sure
to confirm that it is safe to do so
before tilting the moonroof down.
.If the moonroof does not close,
we recommend that you have the
system checked by a SUBARU
dealer.
The moonroof has both tilting and sliding
functions.
The moonroof operates only when the

&Door open warning lightThe warning light illuminates if any door or
the trunk lid is not fully closed. This
function is effective even if the ignition
switch is in the“LOCK”/“OFF”or“ACC”
position, or the key is removed from the
ignition switch.
Always make sure this light is not illumi-
nated before you start to drive.&All-Wheel Drive warn-
ing light (if equipped)This light flashes if the vehicle is driven
with tires of differing diameters fitted on the
wheels or with an excessively low air
pressure in any of the tires.
WARNING
Continued driving with the AWD
warning light flashing can lead to
powertrain damage. If the AWD
warning light flashes, promptly park
in a safe location and then check
whether all four tires are the same
diameter and whether any of the
tires has a puncture or has lost air
pressure.
NOTEIf the temporary spare tire is used, the
AWD warning light may flash. Use of the
temporary spare tire should therefore
be restricted to the minimum time
necessary. Replace the temporary
spare tire with a conventional tire as
soon as possible.&Power steering warning
light (except STI)While the engine is running, this warning
light illuminates when a malfunction has
been detected in the electric power steer-
ing system.
CAUTION
When the power steering warning
light is illuminated, there may be
more resistance when the steering
wheel is operated. Drive carefully to
the nearest SUBARU dealer and
have the vehicle inspected immedi-
ately.NOTEIf the steering wheel is operated in the
following ways, the power steering
control system may temporarily limitthe power assist in order to prevent the
system components, such as the con-
trol computer and drive motor, from
overheating.
.The steering wheel is operated fre-
quently and turned sharply while the
vehicle is maneuvered at extremely low
speeds, such as while frequently turn-
ing the steering wheel during parallel
parking.
.The steering wheel remains in the
fully turned position for a long period of
time.
At this time, there will be more resis-
tance when steering. However this is
not a malfunction. Normal steering
force will be restored after the steering
wheel is not operated for a while and
the power steering control system has
an opportunity to cool down. However,
if the power steering is operated in a
non-standard way which causes power
assist limitation to occur too frequently,
that may result in a malfunction of the
power steering control system.
&LED headlight warning
light (if equipped)This light illuminates if the LED headlights
malfunction. Have your vehicle inspected
at a SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.
