2-34 Keys and doors/Child safety locks & Tripped sensor identification S02AF08 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. When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, the indicator light will illuminate for 1 second and then flash as follows: . When a door or rear gate (Outback) was opened: 5 times . When the trunk (Legacy) was opened: 4 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)) & Shock sensors (dealer op- tion) S02AF09 The shock sensors trigger the alarm system when they sense impacts applied to the vehicle and when any of their electric wires is 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 like those shown in the following examples 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 construction site – Vibration in multistory car park – Vibration from trains . You can have the sensitivity of the shock sensors adjusted to your pre- ference by your SUBARU dealer. Child safety locks S02AG WARNING Always turn the child safety locks to the “LOCK” position when children sit on the rear seat. Serious injury could result if a child accidentally opens the door and falls out. Each rear door has a child safety lock. When the child safety lock lever is in the “LOCK” position, the door cannot be opened from inside. The door can only be opened from the outside.
