sounds and the hazard warning flashers
flash if someone attempts to break into
your vehicle.
For models with “keyless access with
push-button start system”:
The system can be armed or disarmed
with the keyless access function or access
key fob.
The system will not be activated when the

deactivation yourself or have it done by
your SUBARU dealer.
