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/trunk lid 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/trunk
lid) 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.
. For sedan, if you open the trunk
using the access key fob/remote trans-
” button with the alarm
mitter’s “
system armed, the system will be
temporarily placed in a standby state.
The system will go back to the surveil-
lance state upon locking the trunk.
. 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/
trunk lid) are unlocked using the
access key fob/remote transmitter.
– Doors (including the rear gate/
trunk lid) are unlocked using the
keyless access function (models
with “keyless access with push-
button start system”).
– Any door (including the rear gate/
trunk lid) 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
(5-door models).
– 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” F9-18. In
such a case, replace the battery im-
mediately. Refer to “Replacing battery
of access key fob” F11-45.
