Security indicator light6. Carry the access key fob and touch the
door lock sensor.
All doors will lock, an electronic chirp will
sound once, the hazard warning flashers
will flash once, and the security indicator
light will start flashing rapidly.
After rapid flashing for 30 seconds (stand-
by time), the security indicator light will
then flash slowly (twice approximately
every 2 seconds), indicating that the
system has been armed for surveillance.!Disarming the system
Perform either of the following procedures.
.Briefly press the disarm button (for less
than 2 seconds) on the access key fob/
remote transmitter.
.Carry the access key fob and grip the
front door handle (models with“keyless
access with push-button start system”).
The flashing of the security indicator light
will then change slowly (once approxi-
mately every 3 seconds from twice ap-
proximately every 2 seconds), indicating
that the alarm system has been disarmed.
!Emergency disarming
If you cannot disarm the system using the
access key fob/transmitter (i.e. the trans-
mitter is lost, broken or the transmitter
battery is too weak), you can disarm the
system without using the access key fob/
remote transmitter.
You can disarm the system if you turn the
ignition switch from the“LOCK”/“OFF”to
the“ON”position with a registered key/
access key fob.
NOTEFor models with“keyless access with
push-button start system”, if the bat-
tery of the access key fob is dis-
charged, perform the procedure de-scribed in“Switching power status”
F9-26. In such a case, replace the
battery immediately. Refer to“Repla-
cing battery of access key fob”F11-52.
!Valet mode
When you choose the valet mode, the
alarm system does not operate. In valet
mode, the access key fob/transmitter is
used only for locking and unlocking the
doors and for panic activation.
To enter the valet mode, change the
setting of your vehicle’s alarm system for
deactivation mode. Refer to“Activating
and deactivating the alarm system”F2-
24. The security indicator light will continue
to flash once every 3 seconds indicating
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”F2-24.

!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.

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
