the When you choose the valet mode, 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 setting of your vehicle’s alarm system for deactivation mode. (Refer to “Activating and deactivating the alarm system” in this section.) The security indicator light will continue to flash once every 3 seconds indicating 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
CAUTION
In passive mode, the system will automatically activate the alarm but WILL NOT automatically lock the doors. In order to lock the doors you must either lock them as in- dicated 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.

& 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. If the remote transmitter or power door locking switch is used to lock the vehicle, arming will take place immediately regard- less of whether or not the passive mode has been selected. ! Disarming the system To disarm the system, briefly press the “
” button on the transmitter.

& 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.– CONTINUED –

Child safety locks
Each rear door has a child safety lock that prevents the doors from being opened even if the inside door handle is pulled. When the child safety lock lever is in the lock position, the door cannot be opened from inside regardless of the position of the inner door handle lock lever. The door can only be opened from the outside.
WARNING
Always use the child safety lock whenever a child rides in the rear seat. Serious injury could result if a child accidentally opened the door and fell out.

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-

Low fuel warning light
The fuel gauge shows the approximate amount of fuel remaining in the tank. The gauge does not return to “E” even though the ignition switch is in the “Acc” or “LOCK” position.
The gauge may move slightly during braking, turning or acceleration due to fuel level movement in the tank.
You will see the “FUEL DOOR sign in the fuel gauge. This indicates that the fuel filler door (lid) is located on the right side of the vehicle.
”
! Low fuel warning light The low fuel warning light comes on when the tank is nearly empty [approximately 2.3 US gal (9.0 liters, 1.9 Imp gal]. It only operates when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position. NOTE This light does not go out unless the tank is replenished up to an internal

fuel quantity of approximately 4.0 US gal (15 liters, 3.3 Imp gal).
CAUTION
(Turbo model only) Promptly put fuel in the tank when- ever the low fuel warning light comes on. Engine misfires as a result of an empty tank could cause damage to the engine.
& Temperature gauge
The coolant temperature will vary in accordance with the outside temperature and driving conditions.
We recommend that you drive moderately until the pointer of the temperature gauge reaches near the middle of the range. Engine operation is optimum with the engine coolant at this temperature range and high revving operation when the engine is not warmed up enough should be avoided.
CAUTION
If the pointer exceeds the normal operating range, safely stop the vehicle as soon as possible. See “In case of emergency” in chapter 9.
