& 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 (5-door) was opened: 5 times . When a door or the trunk (4-door) was opened: 4 times . When the ignition switch was turned to the “ON” position: 3 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)) 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 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 as indicated 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.

Black plate (108,1)

Examples:

– Vibration from a construction site – Vibration in a multistory car park – Vibration from trains

. You can have the sensitivity of the shock sensors adjusted to your pre- ference by your SUBARU dealer.

WARNING

To avoid serious personal injury caused by entrapment, always con- form to the following instructions without exception. . When operating the power win- dows, be extremely careful to prevent anyone’s fingers, arms, neck, head or other objects from being caught in the window.

. Always lock the passengers’ win- dows using the lock switch when children are riding in the vehicle. . 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 operat- ing the power window.

The power windows operate only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position.

Each rear door has a child safety lock that prevents the door 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 turn the child safety locks to the “LOCK” position when children sit in the rear seat. Serious injury could result if a child accidentally opens the door and falls out.

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-
