Keys and doors
start flashing rapidly. After rapid flashing
for 30 seconds (standby time), the security
indicator light will then flash slowly (twice
approximately every 2 seconds), indicating that the system has been armed for
surveillance.
NOTE
. The system can be armed even if the
engine hood, the windows and/or
moonroof are open. Always make sure
that they are fully closed before arming
the system.
. The 30-second standby time can be
eliminated if you prefer. Have it performed by your SUBARU dealer.
. If your vehicle is a Legacy and you
open the trunk using the remote transmitter’s “
” button with the alarm
system armed, the system will be
temporarily placed in a standby state.
The system will go back to the surveillance state upon locking the trunk.
. The system is in the standby mode
for a 30-second period after locking the
doors with the remote transmitter. The
security indicator light will flash at
short intervals during this period.
. If any of the following actions is
done during the standby period, the
system will not switch to the surveillance state.
– Doors are unlocked using the
remote transmitter.
– Any door (including the rear gate
(Outback) or the trunk (Legacy)) is
opened.
– Ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position.
& Disarming the system
Briefly press the “ ” button (for less than
2 seconds) on the remote transmitter. The
driver’s door will unlock, an electronic
chirp will sound twice, the turn signal
lights will flash twice and the security
indicator light will turn off.
To unlock all other doors and the rear gate
(Outback), briefly press the “ ” button a
second time within 5 seconds.
! Emergency disarming
If you cannot disarm the system using the
transmitter (i.e. the transmitter is lost,
broken or the transmitter battery is too
weak), you can disarm the system without
using the transmitter.
The system can be disarmed if you turn
the ignition switch from the “LOCK” to the
“ON” position with a registered key.
& Valet mode
When you choose the valet mode, the
alarm system does not operate. In valet
mode, the remote transmitter is used only
for locking and unlocking the doors and
rear gate (Outback) and 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” F216. 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 deactivating the alarm system” F2-16.
& Passive arming
When passive arming mode has been
programmed by the dealer, arming of the
system is automatically accomplished
without using the remote transmitter. Note
that in this mode, DOORS MUST BE
MANUALLY LOCKED.
! To enter the passive mode
If you wish to program the passive arming
mode, have it done by your SUBARU
dealer.
