event of a collision, but this does not mean failure of the system. If the front sub sensors inside both front fenders and the impact sensors in the air- bag control module detect a predeter- mined amount of force during a frontal col- lision, the control module sends signals to the airbag module(s) (only driver’s module or both driver’s and front passenger’s modules) instructing the module(s) to in- flate the SRS frontal airbag(s). The driv- er’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal air- bags use dual stage inflators. The two in- flators of each airbag are triggered either sequentially or simultaneously, depending on the severity of impact, backward-for- ward adjustment of the driver’s seat posi- tion and fastening/unfastening of the seat- belt in the case of the driver’s SRS frontal airbag and depending on the severity of impact and the total load on the seat in the – CONTINUED –

case of the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag. After deployment, the SRS airbag immediately starts to deflate so that the driver’s vision is not obstructed. The time required from detecting impact to the de- flation of the SRS airbag after deployment is shorter than the blink of an eye. Both when only the driver’s SRS frontal airbag deploys and the driver’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbags deploy, the driver’s and front passenger’s seatbelt pretensioners operate at the same time. Although it is highly unlikely that the SRS airbag would activate in a non-accident situation, should it occur, the SRS airbag will deflate quickly, not obscuring vision and will not interfere with the driver’s abil- ity to maintain control of the vehicle. When the SRS airbag deploys, a sudden, fairly loud inflation noise will be heard and some smoke will be released. These oc- currences are a normal result of the de- ployment. This smoke does not indicate a fire in the vehicle.


Do not touch the SRS airbag system components around the steering wheel and dashboard with bare hands right after deployment. Doing so can cause burns because the components can be very hot as a re- sult of deployment. The driver’s SRS frontal airbag and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag are de- signed to deploy in the event of an acci- dent involving a moderate to severe fron- tal collision. It is basically not designed to deploy in lesser frontal impacts because the necessary protection can be achieved by the seatbelt alone. Also, they are basi- cally not designed to deploy in side or rear impacts or in roll-over accidents because deployment of only the driver’s SRS fron- tal airbag or both driver’s and front pas- senger’s SRS frontal airbags would not help the occupant in those situations. The driver’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbags are designed to function on a one- time-only basis. SRS airbag deployment depends on the level of force experienced in the passen- ger compartment during a collision. That level differs from one type of collision to another, and it may have no bearing on


the visible damage done to the vehicle it- self.


Examples of accident in which the driver’s/driver’s and front passen- ger’s SRS frontal airbag(s) will most likely deploy.


100301
A head-on collision against a thick con- crete wall at a vehicle speed of 12 to 19
mph (20 to 30 km/h) or higher activates only the driver’s SRS frontal airbag or both driver’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbags. The airbag(s) will also be activat- ed when the vehicle is exposed to a frontal impact similar in fashion and magnitude to the collision described above.


Examples of the types of accidents in which it is possible that the driv- er’s/driver’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag(s) will deploy.

1) First impact 2) Second impact In an accident where the vehicle is impact- ed more than once, the driver’s and/or front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag(s) will deploy only once on the first impact. Example: In the case of a double collision, first with another vehicle, then against a concrete wall in immediate succession, once either or both of the driver’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbags is/are ac- tivated on the first impact, it/they will not be activated on the second impact.

SRS side airbag


The SRS side airbag is stored in the door side of each front seat seatback, which bears an “SRS AIRBAG” label. In a moderate to severe side impact colli- sion, the SRS side airbag on the impacted side of the vehicle deploys between the occupant and the door panel and supple- ments the seatbelt by reducing the impact on the occupant’s chest and head.


The SRS side airbag is designed as only a supplement to the primary protection provided by the seatbelt. They do not do away with the need to fasten seatbelts. It is also impor- tant to wear your seatbelt to help avoid injuries that can result when an occupant is not seated in a prop- er upright position.

Do not rest your arm on either front door or its internal trim. It could be injured in the event of SRS side air- bag deployment.


Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to either front door. The SRS side airbag is stored in both front seat seatbacks next to the door, and it provides protection by deploying rapidly (faster than the blink of an eye) in the event of a side impact collision. However, the force of SRS side airbag deployment may cause injuries if your head or other parts of the body are too close to the SRS side airbag.

1-52 Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags


Do not attach accessories to the door trim or near either SRS side air- bags and do not place objects near the SRS side airbags. In the event of the SRS side airbag deployment, they could be propelled dangerous- ly toward the vehicle’s occupants and cause injuries.


Never allow a child to kneel on the front passenger’s seat facing the side window or to wrap his/her arms around the front seat seatback. In the event of an accident, the force of the SRS side airbag deployment could injure the child seriously be- cause his/her head or arms or other parts of the body are too close to the SRS side airbag. Since your vehicle is also equipped with a passenger’s SRS frontal airbag, children aged 12
and under should be placed in the rear seat anyway and should be properly restrained at all times.

Do not put any kind of cover or clothes or other objects over either front seatback and do not attach la- bels or stickers to the front seat sur- face on or near the SRS side airbag. They could prevent proper deploy- ment of the SRS side airbag, reduc- ing protection available to the front seat’s occupant.


Operation

1) SRS side airbag deploys as soon as a


collision occurs.


2) SRS side airbag protects the front pas-


senger’s head and chest.


3) After deployment, SRS side airbag


starts to deflate immediately.


Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags 1-53


The SRS side airbag can function only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” po- sition. The driver’s and front passenger’s SRS side airbags deploy independently of each other since each has its own impact sen- sor. Also, the SRS side airbag deploys in- dependently of the frontal airbags in the steering wheel and instrument panel. An impact sensor is incorporated into each of the vehicle’s center pillars. If ei- ther sensor detects a certain predeter- mined amount of force during a side im- pact collision, the control module sends a signal to the side airbag module on the im- pacted side of the vehicle, instructing it to inflate the SRS side airbag. Then the side airbag module produces gas, which in- stantly inflates the SRS side airbag. After deployment, the SRS side airbag will de- flate in a few seconds. The SRS side airbag deploys even when no one occupies the seat on the side on which an impact is applied. When the SRS side airbag deploys, a sud- den, fairly loud inflation noise will be heard and some smoke will be released. These occurrences are normal result of the de- ployment. This smoke does not indicate a fire in the vehicle.

SRS airbag system servicing


When discarding an airbag mod- ule or scrapping the entire vehicle damaged by a collision, consult your SUBARU dealer. The SRS airbag has no user-ser- viceable parts. Do not use electri- cal test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS airbag system. For required servicing of the SRS airbag, see your nearest SUBARU dealer. Tampering with or discon- necting the system’s wiring could result in accidental inflation of the SRS airbag or could make the sys- tem inoperative, which may result in serious injury. The wiring har- nesses of the SRS airbag system are covered with yellow insulation and system connectors are yellow for easy identification.

If you need service or repair in areas listed in the following, have an au- thorized SUBARU dealer perform the work. The SRS airbag control module, impact sensors and airbag modules are stored in these areas.


Under the center console Inside each front fender Steering wheel and column and nearby areas Top of the dashboard on front passenger’s side and nearby ar- eas Each front seat and nearby area Inside each center pillar


In the event that the SRS airbag is de- ployed, replacement of the system should be performed only by an autho- rized SUBARU dealer. When the com- ponents of the SRS airbag system are replaced, use only genuine SUBARU parts. To ensure their long-term reliability, the SRS airbags must be inspected by a SUBARU dealer ten years after the date of manufacture, which is shown on the certification plate attached to the driver’s


door jamb. NOTE In the following cases, contact your SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.


The front part of the vehicle was in- volved in an accident in which only the driver’s SRS frontal airbag or both driv- er’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbags did not deploy.


The pad section of the steering wheel or front passenger’s frontal air- bag cover is scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged. In addition, if your vehicle is equipped with SRS side airbags, contact your SUBARU dealer as soon as possible in the following cases.


Either center pillar or a nearby area of the vehicle was involved in an acci- dent in which the SRS side airbag did not deploy.


The fabric or leather of either front seatback is cut, frayed, or otherwise damaged.


Precautions against vehicle modification


To avoid accidental activation of the system or rendering the sys- tem inoperative, which may result in serious injury, no modifications should be made to any compo- nents or wiring of the SRS airbag system. This includes following modifica- tions:


Installation of custom steering wheels Attachment of additional trim materials to the dashboard Installation of custom seats Replacement of seat fabric or leather Installation of additional fabric or leather on the front seat


Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags 1-59


Installation of additional electri- cal/electronic equipment such as a mobile two-way radio on or near the SRS airbag system components and/or wiring is not advisable. This could inter- fere with proper operation of the SRS airbag system.


Attachment of any equipment (side steps or side sill protectors, etc.) other than genuine SUBARU accessory parts to the side body.


Always consult your SUBARU dealer if you want to install any accessory parts on your vehicle.


Do not perform any of the following modifications. Such modifications can interfere with proper operation of the SRS airbag system.


Attachment of any equipment (brush bar, winches, snow plow, skid plate, etc.) other than genu- ine SUBARU accessory parts to the front end. Modification of the suspension system or front end structure. Installation of a tire of different size and construction from the tires specified on the vehicle plac- ard attached to the driver’s door pillar or specified for individual vehicle models in this Owner’s Manual.

Immobilizer (Turbo models)


The immobilizer system is designed to prevent an unauthorized person from starting the engine. Only keys registered with your vehicle’s immobilizer system can be used to operate your vehicle. Even if an unregistered key fits into the ignition switch and can be turned to the “START” position, the engine will automatically stop after several seconds. Each immobilizer key contains a tran- sponder in which the key’s ID code is stored. When a key is inserted into the ig- nition switch and turned to the “ON” posi- tion, the transponder transmits the key’s ID code to the immobilizer system’s re- ceiver. If the transmitted ID code matches the ID code registered in the immobilizer system, the system allows the engine to be started. Since the ID code is transmit- ted and acted upon almost instantly, the immobilizer system does not impede nor- mal starting of the engine. If the engine fails to start, pull out the key once before trying again. (Refer to the “Ig- nition switch” section [chapter 3].) This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with RSS-210 of In- dustry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This


device may not cause harmful interfer- ence, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including in- terference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not express- ly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. NOTE To protect your vehicle from theft, please pay close attention to the fol- lowing security precautions:


Never leave your vehicle unattended


with its keys inside.


Before leaving your vehicle, close all windows and lock the doors and rear gate.


Do not leave spare keys or any record of your key number in the vehi- cle.


Do not place the key under direct sunlight or anywhere it may be- come hot. Do not get the key wet. If the key gets wet, wipe it dry with a cloth immediately.

begins flashing (approximately once every three seconds) approximately 60 seconds after the ignition switch is turned from the “ON” position to the “ACC” or “LOCK” po- sition or immediately after the key is pulled out. If the security indicator light does not flash, the immobilizer system may be faulty. If this occurs, we recommend that you contact your SUBARU dealer as soon as possible. In case an unauthorized key is used (e.g. an imitation key), the security indicator light comes on. NOTE Even if the security indicator light flashes irregularly or its fuse blows (the light does not flash if its fuse is blown), the immobilizer system will function normally.


Key replacement


Your key number and security ID will be required if you ever need a replacement key made. Any new key must be regis- tered for use with your vehicle’s immobiliz- er system before it can be used. Up to four keys can be registered for use with one vehicle. For security, all the keys registered with

Be careful not to damage the printed circuit board in the trans- mitter when replacing the battery. Replacing lost transmitters


If you lose a transmitter or want to pur- chase additional transmitters (up to four can be programmed), you should re-pro- gram all of your transmitters for security reasons. It is recommended that you have your dealer program all of your transmit- ters into your system.


Programming the transmitters


The keyless entry system is equipped with a special code learning feature that allows you to program new transmitter codes into the system or to delete old ones. The sys- tem can learn up to four unique transmitter codes. The four transmitter codes may be the same or different.


Programming transmitter codes into system:


Bag containing transmitter


200718


To register a new transmitter with the key- less entry system, it is necessary to pro- gram the transmitter’s code (identification number) into the system. A label showing the code is affixed to the bag containing the transmitter, and another is affixed to the circuit board inside the transmitter. If there is no bag, open the transmitter case and make a note of the eight-digit number. Program the number into the system in accordance with the following procedure: 1. Firmly close the doors and the rear gate, or trunk lid. 2. Open the driver’s door, sit on the driv- er’s seat, and close the door. 3. Perform the following steps within 45
seconds.

NOTE


The electronic tone will stop sound- ing when you start entering the num- ber.


If you do not start entering the num- ber using the lock switch before the electronic tone stops sounding, an er- ror will occur. In this event, perform the registration steps again beginning with part 3 of the procedure.


If the interval between one push of the switch and the next exceeds five seconds, an error will occur. In this event, perform the procedure again be- ginning with part 4. If an error occurs six times, perform the procedure again starting with part 3.


200812

In this event, perform the procedure again beginning with part 4. If an error occurs six times, perform the proce- dure again starting with part 3. 7. Perform parts 5 and 6 of the procedure for each of the remaining digits of the transmitter code beginning with the sec- ond digit (counting from the left) and fin- ishing with the eighth digit. NOTE


When you finish entering the eighth digit, an electronic tone will sound for 30 seconds.


If the interval between one push of the switch and the next exceeds five seconds, an error will occur. In this event, perform the procedure again be- ginning with part 4. If an error occurs six times, perform the procedure again starting with part 3. 8. Before the electronic tone stops sound- ing, use the power door lock switch to again enter the transmitter code beginning


with the leftmost digit. NOTE If you do not start entering the number using the lock switch before the elec- tronic tone stops sounding, an error will occur. In this event, perform the procedure again beginning with part 3. 9. When you have finished entering the code a second time, an electronic tone will sound for one second and automatic door locking and unlocking operation will take place once to indicate completion of regis- tration, provided the code entered the sec- ond time is identical to that entered the first time. NOTE If the code entered the second time is not identical to the code entered the first time, an error will occur. In this event, perform the procedure again be- ginning with part 5. If an error occurs five times, perform the procedure again starting with part 3. 10.If you wish to program another trans- mitter code into the system (up to four transmitter codes can be programmed into the system), perform the procedure beginning with part 4. When you have fin- ished programming all of the necessary transmitter codes into the system, remove


the key from the ignition switch. 11.Test every registered transmitter to confirm correct operation.


Deleting old transmitter codes


The control unit of the keyless entry sys- tem has four memory locations to store transmitter codes, giving it the ability to operate with up to four transmitters. When you lose a transmitter, the lost transmit- ter’s code remains in the memory. For se- curity reasons, lost transmitter codes should be deleted from the memory. To delete old transmitter codes, program four transmitter codes into the system. If you have only one current transmitter, program it four times. If you have two cur- rent transmitters, program each one twice. If you have three current transmitters, pro- gram two of them once and the third one twice. This process will leave only current transmitter codes in the system’s memory. NOTE Make sure no one else is operating their keyless entry system within range of your vehicle when programming transmitters. If someone else were to operate their remote transmitter while you are programming your transmit- ters, it is possible that their transmitter code will be programmed into your system, allowing them unauthorized


access to your vehicle.


Alarm system


The alarm system helps to protect your vehicle and valuables from theft. The horn sounds and the turn signal lights flash if someone attempts to break into your vehi- cle. The starter motor is also interrupted to prevent starting the vehicle without a key. The system can be armed and disarmed with the remote transmitter. The system does not operate when the key is inserted into the ignition switch. Your vehicle’s alarm system has been set for activation at the time of shipment from the factory. You can set the system for de- activation yourself or have it done by your SUBARU dealer.


System alarm operation


The alarm system will give the following alarms when triggered:


The vehicle’s horn will sound and the turn signal lights will flash for 30 seconds. In addition, the starter motor will not oper- ate.


If any door (or the rear gate/trunk lid) re- mains open after the 30-second period, the horn will continue to sound for a maxi- mum of 3 minutes. If the door (or the rear gate/trunk lid) is closed while the horn is

lid


sounding, the horn will stop sounding with a delay of up to 30 seconds. The alarm is triggered by:


Opening a door, the rear gate or trunk


Physical impact to the vehicle, such as forced entry (only vehicles with shock sen- sors (dealer option))


Activating and deactivating the alarm system


To change the setting of your vehicle’s alarm system for activation or deactiva- tion, do the following. 1. Disarm the alarm system (see “Disarm- ing the system” in this section). 2. Sit in the driver’s seat and shut all doors (and the rear gate if your vehicle is a Wagon). 3. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” po- sition. 4. Hold down the UNLOCK side of the driver’s power door locking switch, open the driver’s door within the following 1 sec- ond, and wait 10 seconds without releas- ing the switch. The setting will then be changed as follows: If the system was previously activated: The odometer/trip meter screen displays “AL oF” and the horn sounds twice, indi-

If any of the doors, (rear gate or trunk lid) is not fully closed, an electronic chirp sounds five times, the turn signal lights flash five times to alert you that the doors (or the rear gate) are not properly closed. When you close the door, the system will


automatically arm and doors will automat- ically lock.


To arm the system using power door locking switches


1. Close all windows. 2. Remove the key from the ignition switch. 3. Open the doors and get out of the vehi- cle. 4. Make sure that the engine hood is locked. 5. Close the doors (and the rear gate on the Wagon) but leave only the driver’s door or the front passenger’s door open.


6. Push the front side (“LOCK” side) of the power door locking switch to set the door locks. 7. Close the door. An electronic chirp will


sound once, the turn signal lights will flash once, and the indicator lights will start flashing rapidly. After rapid flashing for 30
seconds (standby time), the indicator lights will then flash slowly (twice approxi- mately every two seconds), indicating that the system has been armed for surveil- lance. NOTE


The system can be armed even if the engine hood, the windows and/or moonroofs are opened. 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 per- formed by your SUBARU dealer.


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 re-


mote transmitter.


Any door (including the rear gate of a Wagon or the trunk of a Sedan) is opened.

transmitter (i.e. the transmitter is lost, bro- ken or the transmitter battery is too weak), you can disarm the system without using the transmitter. 1. Unlock the door with the key and then open the door. 2. Insert the key into the ignition switch and cycle it from the “LOCK” to the “ON” position three times within 5 seconds.


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 (Wagon) and panic activation. To enter the valet mode, change the set- ting of your vehicle’s alarm system for de- activation mode. (Refer to “Activating and deactivating the alarm system” in this sec- tion.) The security indicator light will con- tinue to flash once every three seconds in- dicating that the system is in the valet mode (only vehicle with an immobilizer). To exit valet mode, change the setting of your vehicle’s alarm system for activation mode. (Refer to “Activating and deactivat- ing the alarm system” in this section.) NOTE If your vehicle is not equipped with an


immobilizer, the security indicator light does not flash during the valet mode.


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.


Arming the system


In passive mode, the system will au- tomatically activate the alarm but WILL NOT automatically lock the doors. In order to lock the doors you must either lock them as indicated in step 4 below or with the key once they have been closed. Failure to lock the doors manually will result in a higher security risk. 1. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” po- sition.


200816


1) ON 2) LOCK 2. Turn the ignition switch from “ON” to “LOCK” position and remove the key from the ignition switch. 3. Open the doors and get out of the vehi- cle.


Tripped sensor identification The security indicator light flashes when the alarm system has been triggered. Al- so, the number of flashes indicates the lo- cation of unauthorized intrusion or the se- verity of impact on the vehicle.


When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, the indicator light will light for 1 second and then flash as follows:


When a door or rear gate (Wagon) or the trunk (Sedan) was opened: 5 times When the ignition switch was turned to the “ON” position: 3 times When a strong impact or multiple im- pacts were sensed: twice (only vehicles with shock sensors (dealer option)) When a light impact was sensed: once (only vehicles with shock sensors (deal- er option))


NOTE Any of the above indicator light flash- ings will recur each time the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position. Rearming the alarm system cancels the flashing.


Shock sensors (dealer op- tion)


The shock sensors trigger the alarm sys- tem when they sense impacts applied to


Keys and doors 2-17


the vehicle and when any of their electric wires is cut. The alarm system causes the horn to sound and the turn signal lights to flash for a short time when the sensed im- pact is weak, but it warns of a strong im- pact or multiple impacts by sounding the horn and flashing the turn signal lights, both lasting approximately 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 breaking in, and cannot sense an im- pact 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 and trigger the alarm system. Select the settings of the alarm system and shock sensors appropriately depend- ing on where you usually park your ve- hicle. Example:


Vibration from construction site Vibration in multistory car park Vibration from trains You can have the sensitivity of the shock sensors adjusted to your prefer- ence by your SUBARU dealer.

Never allow any child to get in the trunk and play with the release han- dle. If the driver starts the vehicle without knowing that a child is in- side the trunk and the child opens the lid using the release handle, the child could fall out and be killed or seriously injured.


Do not close the lid while gripping the release handle. The handle may be damaged. Do not use the handle as a hook to fasten straps or ropes to secure your cargo in the trunk. Such use may result in damage of the han- dle. Load the trunk so that cargo can not strike the release handle. If the cargo hits the handle while the ve- hicle is being driven, the handle may be pushed down and the trunk lid may open. That may cause cargo to fall out of the trunk, which could create a traffic safety hazard.
