& Replacing lost transmitters to If you lose a transmitter or want purchase additional transmitters (up to four can be programmed), you should re- program all of your transmitters for secur- ity reasons. It is recommended that you have your dealer program all of your transmitters 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 system 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

four times.

! Deleting old transmitter codes The control unit of the keyless entry system 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 security reasons, 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 If you have two current transmitters, program each one twice. If you have three current transmit- ters, program 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

& Tripped sensor identification The security indicator light flashes when the alarm system has been triggered. Also, the number of flashes indicates the location 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 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 impacts were sensed: twice (only vehicles with shock sensors (dealer option)) When a light impact was sensed: once (only vehicles with shock sensors (dealer 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.

4. Before closing the doors, lock all doors with the inside door lock levers. 5. Close the doors. The system will automatically arm after one minute.

In the passive mode, the system can also be armed with the remote transmitter or with the power door locking switches.

& Shock sensors (dealer op-

tion)

The shock sensors trigger the alarm system when they sense impacts applied to the vehicle and when any of their electric wires are cut. The alarm system causes the horn to sound and the turn signal lights 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 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 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 vi- bration like those shown in the follow- ing 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.

Ignition switch

WARNING

. Never turn the ignition switch to “LOCK” while the vehicle is being driven or towed because that will lock the steering wheel, preventing steering control. And when the engine is turned off, it takes a much greater effort than usual to steer.

. Before leaving the vehicle, al- ways remove the key from the ignition switch for safety and never allow an unattended child to remain in the vehicle. Failure to follow this procedure could result in injury to a child or others. Children could operate the power windows, the moon- roof or other controls or even make the vehicle move.

CAUTION

Do not attach a large key holder or key case to either key. If it banged against your knees or hands while you are driving, it could turn the ignition switch from the “ON” posi-

if

tion to the “Acc” or “LOCK” posi- tion, thereby stopping the engine. Also, the key is attached to a keyholder or to a large bunch of other keys, centrifugal force may act on it as the vehicle moves, resulting in unwanted turning of the ignition switch.

The ignition switch has four positions: LOCK, Acc, ON and START. NOTE . Keep the ignition switch in the “LOCK” position when the engine is not running. . Using electrical accessories for a long time with the ignition switch in the "ON" or “Acc” position can cause the

Black plate (113,1)

Instruments and controls 3-3

battery to go dead. . If the ignition switch will not move from the “LOCK” position to the “Acc” position, turn the steering wheel slightly to the left and right as you turn the ignition switch.

& LOCK The key can only be inserted or removed in this position. The ignition switch will lock the steering wheel when you remove the key. If turn the steering wheel slightly to the right and left as you turn the key. ! Automatic transmission vehicles

& Ignition switch light For easy access to the ignition switch in the dark, the ignition switch light comes on when driver’s door is opened. The light remains on for 5 seconds and goes out after driver’s door is closed or if the key is turned to the “ON” position.

& Key interlock release (AT ve-

hicles only)

If the key can not be turned to the “LOCK” position even when the selector lever is in the “P” position: 1. Take out the screwdriver from the tool bag.

2. Remove the cover under the steering column using a Phillips screwdriver.

. The key is near another key that contains an immobilizer transponder.

. The key is near or touching another transmitter.

& Key reminder chime The reminder chime sounds when the driver’s door opens and the key is in the “LOCK” or “Acc” position. The chime stops when the key is removed from the ignition switch. NOTE The ignition switch light flashes when the reminder chime sounds.

& Canceling sequential illumi-

nation of the combination meter

With the ignition switch in the “ON” position, it is possible to cancel sequential illumination of the combination meter. Press the trip knob while turning the REV setting knob clockwise or counterclock- wise. The buzzer will sound briefly, and the outside temperature indicator will show “ON” or “– –”.

ON : sequential illumination – –: sequential illumination canceled The setting toggles between “ON” and “– –” each time the trip knob is pressed. Return the REV setting knob to its original position to complete the setting process. The buzzer will sound briefly. A few seconds later, the outside temperature indicator will return to showing the outside temperature. NOTE It is not possible to cancel sequential illumination of the combination meter while sequential illumination is actually taking place.
