Three types of keys are provided for your vehicle. Master key, submaster key and valet key. The master key and submaster key fit all locks on your vehicle. " Ignition switch " Driver(cid:146)s door " Glove box " Trunk lid release lever

The valet key fits only the ignition switch and door locks. You can keep the trunk and glove box locked when you leave your vehicle and valet key at a parking facility. NOTE If 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. Also, if a large key- holder is attached to the key, your knees or hands may accidentally touch it in a way that turns the ig- nition switch.

The key number is stamped on the metal plate at- tached to the key set. Write down the key number and keep it in another safe place, not in the vehicle. This number is needed to make a replacement key if you lose your key or lock it inside the vehicle. For information on making replacement keys for vehi- cle with immobilizer system, refer to the (cid:147)Immobilizer (if equipped)(cid:148) in this chapter.

Keys and doors

Immobilizer (if equipped) The immobilizer system is designed to prevent an un- authorized person from starting the engine. Only keys registered with your vehicle(cid:146)s immobilizer system can be used to operate your vehicle. Even if an unregis- tered key fits into the ignition switch and can be turned to the (cid:147)START(cid:148) position, the engine will automatically stop after several seconds. Each immobilizer key contains a transponder in which the key(cid:146)s ID code is stored. When a key is inserted into the ignition switch and turned to the (cid:147)ON(cid:148) position, the transponder transmits the key(cid:146)s ID code to the immo- bilizer system(cid:146)s receiver. If the transmitted ID code matches the ID code registered in the immobilizer sys- tem, the system allows the engine to be started. Since the ID code is transmitted and acted upon almost in- stantly, 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 (cid:147)Ignition switch(cid:148) section [chapter 3].) This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Oper- ation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference,

2-4

and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user(cid:146)s authority to operate the equipment. NOTE To protect your vehicle from theft, please pay close attention to the following security precau- tions: " 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 vehicle.

Do not get the key wet. If the key gets wet, wipe it dry with a cloth immediately.

A) Key number plate B) Security ID plate

The security ID is stamped on the metal plate attached to the key set. Write down the security ID and keep it in another safe place, not in the vehicle. This number is needed to make a replacement key if you lose your key or lock it inside the vehicle. This number is also needed for replacement or repair of the engine control unit, integrated unit, and combi- nation meter.

The security indicator light deters potential thieves by indicating that the vehicle is equipped with an immobi- lizer system. It begins flashing about 60 seconds after the ignition switch is turned from the (cid:147)ON(cid:148) position to the (cid:147)ACC(cid:148) or (cid:147)LOCK(cid:148) position or immediately after the key is pulled out. If the security indicator light does not flash, the immo- bilizer system may be faulty. If this occurs, 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.

Keys and doors

NOTE Even if the security indicator light flashes irregu- larly or its fuse blows (the light does not flash if its fuse is blown), the immobilizer system will func- tion normally.

! Key replacement Your key number plate and security ID plate will be re- quired if you ever need a replacement key made. Any new key must be registered for use with your vehicle(cid:146)s immobilizer 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 your vehicle(cid:146)s immobilizer system will have their ID codes erased and re-registered when a new key is made. Therefore, all of your vehicle(cid:146)s keys must be presented when a new key is registered. Any key that is not re-registered when a new key is made cannot be used after the oth- er keys are re-registered. For information on replace- ment keys and on the registration of keys with your im- mobilizer system, contact your SUBARU dealer.

! Locking and unlocking from the inside

Keep all doors locked when you drive, especial- ly when small children are in your vehicle. Along with the proper use of seatbelts and child restraints, locking the doors reduces the chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in an accident. It also helps prevent passengers from falling out if a door is accidentally opened, and intrud- ers from unexpectedly opening doors and en- tering your vehicle.

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 transmitter(cid:146)s code re- mains in the memory. For security reasons, lost trans- mitter codes should be deleted from the memory. To delete old transmitter codes, program four trans- mitter codes into the system. If you have only one cur- rent transmitter, program it four times. If you have two current transmitters, program each one twice. If you have three current transmitters, program two of them

However, this does not occur if the vehi- cle is equipped with an immobilizer and the key used for turning the ignition switch has been reg- istered. " If your vehicle is not equipped with an immobi- lizer, the engine does not start even when the igni- tion switch is turned to the (cid:147)START(cid:148) position once the alarm system has been triggered.

! Disarming the system Briefly press the (cid:147) (cid:148) button (for less than two sec- onds) on the remote transmitter. The driver(cid:146)s door will unlock, an electronic chirp will sound twice, the turn signal lights will flash twice and the indicator light will go off. To unlock all other doors and the rear gate (Station wagon), briefly press the (cid:147) (cid:148) button a second time. NOTE If the interval between the first and second press- es of the (cid:147) (cid:148) button (for unlocking of all of the doors and the rear gate) is extremely short, the system may not respond. Or the system can be disarmed by the following method, too.

" Insert the key in the door lock of the driver(cid:146)s door and turn it to the unlock position. " Cycle the ignition switch from the (cid:147)LOCK(cid:148) to the (cid:147)ON(cid:148) position three times within 5 seconds (only vehicle without immobilizer). ! Emergency disarming If you cannot disarm the system using the transmitter (i.e. the transmitter is lost, broken or the transmitter battery is too weak), you can disarm the system with- out using the transmitter. Vehicle with immobilizer The system can be disarmed if you turn the ignition switch from the (cid:147)LOCK(cid:148) to the (cid:147)ON(cid:148) position with a reg- istered key. Vehicle without immobilizer 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 (cid:147)LOCK(cid:148) to the (cid:147)ON(cid:148) position three times with- in 5 seconds. All models Insert the key in the door lock of the driver(cid:146)s door and turn it to the unlock position.

! Valet mode When you choose the valet mode, the alarm system does not operate. In valet mode, the remote transmit- ter is used only for locking and unlocking the doors and rear gate (Station wagon) and panic activation. To enter the valet mode, change the setting of your ve- hicle(cid:146)s alarm system for deactivation mode. (Refer to (cid:147)Activating and deactivating the alarm system(cid:148) in this section.) The security indicator light will continue to flash once every three seconds indicating that the sys- tem is in the valet mode (only vehicle with an immobi- lizer). To exit valet mode, change the setting of your vehi- cle(cid:146)s alarm system for activation mode. (Refer to (cid:147)Ac- tivating and deactivating the alarm system(cid:148) in this sec- tion.) NOTE If your vehicle is not equipped with an immobiliz- er, the security indicator light does not flash dur- ing the valet mode.

! Passive arming When passive arming mode has been programmed by the dealer, arming of the system is automatically ac- complished without using the remote transmitter. Note

! Tripped sensor identification The security indicator light flashes when the alarm system has been triggered. Also, the number of flash- es indicates the location of unauthorized intrusion or the severity of impact on the vehicle. " When the ignition switch is turned to the (cid:147)ON(cid:148) posi- tion, the indicator light will light for 1 second and then flash as follows:

When a door or rear gate (Station wagon) was opened: 5 times When the trunk (Sedan) was opened: 4 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 vehi- cles with shock sensors (dealer option))

! Shock sensors (dealer option) The shock sensors trigger the alarm system when they sense impacts applied to 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 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.

Keys and doors

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 impact that does not cause vibration (such as breaking the glass using a rescue hammer). " The shock sensors may sense vibration like those shown below and trigger the alarm system. Select the settings of the alarm system and shock sensors appropriately depending on where you usually park your vehicle. Example:

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

" You can have the sensitivity of the shock sen- sors adjusted to your preference by your SUBARU dealer.

! Internal trunk lid release handle The internal trunk lid release handle is a device de- signed to open the trunk lid from inside the trunk. In the event children or adults become locked inside the trunk, the handle allows them to open the lid. The han- dle is located on the inside of the trunk lid.

UB2217BA

To open the trunk lid from inside the trunk, press the yellow handle downward as indicated by the arrow on the handle. This operation unlocks the trunk lid. Then, push up the lid. The handle is made of material that remains lumines- cent for approximately an hour in the dark trunk space after it is exposed to ambient light even for a short time.

Keys and doors

Never allow any child to get in the trunk and play with the release handle. 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 handle. " Load the trunk so that cargo can not strike the release handle. If the cargo hits the handle while the vehicle 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 haz- ard.
