Keys and doors/Alarm system
NOTE
. The system can be armed even if the
engine hood, windows and/or moon-
roof are open. Always make sure that
they are fully closed before arming the
system.
. When arming the system, if any of
the doors or the rear gate is not fully
closed, an electronic chirp sounds five
times, the hazard warning flashers
flash five times to alert you that the
doors (or the rear gate) are not properly
closed. When you close the door, doors
will automatically lock and the system
will automatically arm in 30 seconds.
. The 30-second standby time can be
eliminated if you prefer. Have it per-
formed by your SUBARU dealer.
. If any of the following actions is
done during the standby period, the
system will not switch to the surveil-
lance state.
– Doors (including the rear gate)
are unlocked using the access key
fob/remote transmitter.
– Doors (including the rear gate)
are unlocked using the keyless
access function (models with “key-
less access with push-button start
system”).
– Any door (including the rear gate)
is opened.
– The ignition switch is turned to
the “ON” position (models without
“keyless access with push-button
start system”).
– Push-button ignition switch is
turned to the “ACC” position (mod-
els with “keyless access with push-
button start system”).
& Disarming the system
Perform either of the following procedures.
. Briefly press a button (for less than 2
seconds) on the access key fob/remote
transmitter.
. Carry the access key fob and perform
either of the following procedures (models
with “keyless access with push-button
start system”).
– Grip the front door handle.
– Press the rear gate opener button.
– Unlock using the PIN code access.
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.
The system can be disarmed if you turn the
ignition switch from the “LOCK”/“OFF” to
the “ON” position with a registered key/
access key fob.
NOTE
For models with “keyless access with
push-button start system”, if the ac-
cess key fob battery is discharged,
perform the procedure described in
“Switching power status” F9-17. In
such a case, replace the battery im-
mediately. Refer to “Replacing battery
of access key fob” F11-43.
