(cid:84) Operation


100280


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.


100281
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain air- bag can function only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position. The driver’s and front passenger’s SRS side airbags and SRS curtain airbags de- ploy independently of each other since each has its own impact sensor. There- fore, they may not both deploy in the same accident. Also, the SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag deploys independently of the driver’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbags in the steering wheel and instrument panel. An impact sensor is located in each of the left and right center pillars and rear wheel houses. If a center pillar impact sensor


senses an impact force above a predeter- mined level in a side collision, the control module causes both the SRS side airbag and curtain airbag on the impacted side to inflate regardless of whether the rear wheel house impact sensor on the same side senses an impact. If it is a rear wheel house impact sensor alone that senses a sufficiently strong impact force, the control module causes only the SRS curtain air- bag on the impacted side to inflate. After the deployment, the SRS side airbag im- mediately starts to deflate. The time re- quired from detection of an impact to de- flation of an SRS side airbag after deploy- ment is shorter than the blink of an eye. The SRS curtain airbag remains inflated for a while following deployment then slowly deflates. The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain air- bag deploy even when no one occupies the seat on the side on which an impact is applied. When the SRS side airbag and SRS cur- tain airbag deploy, a sudden, fairly loud in- flation noise will be heard and some smoke will be released. These occurrenc- es are a normal result of the deployment. This smoke does not indicate a fire in the vehicle.


Do not touch the SRS side airbag system components around the front seat seatback with bare hands right after deployment. Doing so can cause burns because the compo- nents can be very hot as a result of deployment. After deployment, do not touch any part of the SRS curtain airbag sys- tem (from the front pillar to the part of the roof side over the rear seat). Doing so can cause burns because the components can be very hot as a result of deployment. The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain air- bag are designed to deploy in the event of an accident involving a moderate to se- vere side impact collision. It is basically not designed to deploy in a lesser side im- pact. Also, it is basically not designed to deploy in frontal or rear impacts because SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag deployment would not help the occupant in those situations. Each SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag are designed to function on a one- time-only basis. SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag

deployment depend on the level of force experienced in the passenger compart- ment during a side impact 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. (cid:86) Example of the type of accident in which the SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag will most likely de- ploy.

(cid:86) Examples of the types of accidents in which the SRS side airbag and SRS cur-


tain airbag are unlikely to deploy.


1) The vehicle is involved in an oblique


side-on impact.


2) The vehicle is involved in a side-on impact in an area outside the vicinity of the passenger compartment.


3) The vehicle strikes a telephone pole


or similar object.


4) The vehicle is involved in a side-on


impact from a motorcycle.


5) The vehicle rolls onto its side or roof.


There are many types of collisions which might not necessarily require SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag deploy- ment. In the event of accidents like those illustrated, the SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag may not deploy depending on the level of accident forces involved.

(cid:132) SRS airbag system servicing


(cid:121) When discarding an airbag mod- ule or scrapping the entire vehicle damaged by a collision, consult your SUBARU dealer.


(cid:121) 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 the warning light exhibits any of the following conditions, there may be a malfunction in the seatbelt pre- tensioners and/or SRS airbag sys- tem. Immediately take your vehicle to your nearest SUBARU dealer to have the system checked. Unless checked and properly repaired, the seatbelt pretensioners and/or SRS airbags will operate improperly (e.g. SRS airbags may inflate in a very mi- nor collision or not inflate in a se- vere collision), which may increase the risk of injury.

Immobilizer 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: (cid:121) Never leave your vehicle unattended with its keys inside. (cid:121) Before leaving your vehicle, close all windows and lock the doors and rear gate (Station wagon). (cid:121) Do not leave spare keys or any record of your key number in the vehi- cle.


(cid:121) Do not place the key under direct sunlight or anywhere it may be- come hot.

200835
The security indicator light deters potential thieves by indicating that the vehicle is equipped with an immobilizer system. It begins flashing 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. 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.

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.


(cid:132) Key replacement Your key number plate and security ID plate will be required if you ever need a re- placement key made. Any new key must be registered for use with your vehicle’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’s immobilizer system will have their ID codes erased and re-regis- tered when a new key is made. Therefore, all of your vehicle’s keys must be present- ed when a new key is registered. Any key that is not re-registered when a new key is made cannot be used after the other keys are re-registered. For information on re- placement keys and on the registration of keys with your immobilizer system, con- tact your SUBARU dealer.

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 (Station wagon) or trunk lid (Sedan). 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.

then turn it from the “LOCK” position to the “ON” position 10 times within 15
seconds.


NOTE (cid:121) When you complete step 2), an elec- tronic tone will sound once. (cid:121) If you do not perform steps 1) and 2) within 45 seconds, an error will occur. An electronic tone will not sound. In this event, perform the whole proce- dure again beginning with part 1. 4. Open and close the door once within 15 seconds. NOTE (cid:121) When part 4 of the procedure is com- pleted, an electronic tone will sound for 30 seconds. (cid:121) If you do not perform the operations in part 4 within 15 seconds, an error will occur and the electronic tone will not sound. In this event, perform the registration steps again beginning with part 3 of the procedure.


200841
5. Before the electronic tone stops sound- ing, press the power door lock knob to the “LOCK” side the same number of times as the leftmost digit of the transmitter code. For example, press the lock knob eight times if the leftmost digit of the code is 8. NOTE (cid:121) The electronic tone will stop sound- ing when you start entering the num- ber. (cid:121) If you do not start entering the num- ber using the lock knob 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. (cid:121) If the interval between one push of the knob and the next exceeds five sec-


onds, an error will occur. In this event, perform the procedure again beginning with part 4. If an error occurs six times, perform the procedure again starting with part 3.


200842
6. When you have finished entering the number, pull the lock knob to the “UN- LOCK” side within five seconds. NOTE (cid:121) An electronic tone will sound. (cid:121) If you pull the lock knob to the “UN- LOCK” side when more than five sec- onds have passed, an error will occur. 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 (cid:121) When you finish entering the eighth digit, an electronic tone will sound for 30 seconds. (cid:121) If the interval between one push of the knob and the next exceeds five sec- onds, an error will occur. In this event, perform the procedure again beginning 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 knob to again enter the transmitter code beginning with the leftmost digit. NOTE If you do not start entering the number using the lock knob 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 to indicate comple- tion of registration, provided the code en-

tered the second 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. (cid:84) 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 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.


(cid:132) System alarm operation The alarm system will give the following alarms when triggered: (cid:121) The vehicle’s horn will sound and the turn signal lights will flash for 30 seconds. (cid:121) 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 sounding, the horn will stop sounding with a delay of up to 30 seconds. The alarm is triggered by:


(cid:121) Opening a door, the rear gate or trunk lid (cid:121) Physical impact to the vehicle, such as forced entry (only vehicles with shock sen- sors (dealer option))


(cid:132) 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 Station 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- cating that the system is now deactivated. If the system was previously deactivated: The odometer/trip meter screen displays


“AL on” and the horn sounds once, indi- cating that the system is now activated. NOTE You may have the above setting change done by your SUBARU dealer.


(cid:132) If you have accidentally trig-


gered the alarm system


(cid:84) To stop the alarm Do any of the following operations: (cid:121) Insert the key in the door lock of the driver’s door and turn it to the unlock posi- tion. (cid:121) Press any button on the remote trans- mitter. (cid:121) Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” po- sition.


(cid:132) Arming the system (cid:84) To arm the system using remote


transmitter


1. Close all windows and the moonroof (if so equipped). 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 (and the trunk lid on the Sedan) are locked.

than two seconds). All doors (and the rear gate on the Station wagon) will lock, an electronic chirp will sound once, the turn signal lights will flash once, and the indica- tor lights will start flashing rapidly. After rapid flashing for 30 seconds (standby time), the indicator lights will then flash slowly (twice approximately every two seconds), indicating that the system has been armed for surveillance. 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. (cid:84) 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 station wagon) but leave only the driv- er’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 (cid:121) 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.


(cid:121) The 30-second standby time can be eliminated if you prefer. Have it per- formed by your SUBARU dealer. (cid:121) If your vehicle is a Sedan and you un- lock the trunk using the remote trans- mitter’s “ ” button with the alarm system armed, the system will be tem- porarily placed in a standby state. The system will go back to the surveillance state upon locking the trunk. (cid:121) 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. (cid:121) If any of the following actions is done during the standby period, the system will not switch to the surveillance state. (cid:121) Doors are unlocked using the re- mote transmitter. (cid:121) Any door (including the rear gate of a Station wagon or the trunk of a Sedan) is opened. (cid:121) Ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position.


(cid:132) Disarming the system Briefly press the “ ” button (for less than two seconds) on the remote transmit- ter. The driver’s door will unlock, an elec- tronic chirp will sound twice, the turn sig- nal 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 “ ” button a second time within 5 seconds. NOTE If the interval between the first and sec- ond presses of the “ ” button (for unlocking of all of the doors and the rear gate) is extremely short, the sys- tem may not respond. Or the system can be disarmed by the following method, too. (cid:121) Insert the key in the door lock of the driver’s door and turn it to the unlock position. (cid:84) Emergency disarming If you cannot disarm the system using the 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. The system can be disarmed if you turn the ignition switch from the “LOCK” to the “ON” position with a registered key. Insert the key in the door lock of the driv- er’s door and turn it to the unlock position.


(cid:132) 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 (Station wagon) and panic acti- vation. 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. 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.)


(cid:132) 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. (cid:84) To enter the passive mode If you wish to program the passive arming mode, have it done by your SUBARU dealer.


(cid:84) 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.

“LOCK” position and remove the key from the ignition switch. 3. Open the doors and get out of the vehi- cle.


200704
4. Before closing the doors, lock all doors with the inside door lock levers. 5. Close the doors. The system will auto- matically 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 lock- ing switch is used to lock the vehicle, arm- ing will take place immediately regardless of whether or not the passive mode has been selected.

(cid:84) Disarming the system To disarm the system, briefly press the “


” button on the transmitter.


(cid:132) 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. (cid:121) 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 (Station wag- on) was opened: 5 times When the trunk (Sedan) was opened: 4
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))


(cid:132) Shock sensors (dealer op-


tion)


The shock sensors trigger the alarm sys- tem 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 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 (cid:121) 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). (cid:121) 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


(cid:121) You can have the sensitivity of the shock sensors adjusted to your prefer- ence by your SUBARU dealer.


Child safety locks


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.


200247
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.


Windows (cid:132) Power windows


To avoid serious personal injury caused by entrapment, you must do the following. (cid:121) When operating the power win- dows, be extremely careful to pre- vent anyone’s fingers, arms, neck or head from being caught in the window.


(cid:121) Always lock the passengers’ win- dows using the lock switch when children are riding in the vehicle. (cid:121) Before leaving the vehicle, always 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 operating the power win- dow.


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

Rear gate (Station wagon)


200260
The rear gate can be locked and unlocked using either the keyless entry system or the power door locking switch. Refer to the “Power door locking switches” and “Remote keyless entry system” sec- tions in this chapter. To open the rear gate, first unlock the rear gate lock then pull the outside handle up.


200401
To close the rear gate, lower it slowly and push down firmly until the latch engages. The rear gate can be lowered easily if you pull it down holding the recessed grip.


(cid:121) To prevent dangerous exhaust gas from entering the vehicle, al- ways keep the rear gate closed while driving.


(cid:121) Do not attempt to shut the rear gate while holding the recessed grip. Also avoid closing the rear gate by pulling on the recessed grip from inside the cargo space. There is a danger of your hand be- ing caught and injured.


(cid:121) Do not jam a plastic bag in or place cellophane tape on the rear gate stays or scratch the stays while loading or unloading cargo. That could cause leakage of gas from the stays, which may result in their inability to hold the rear gate open.


(cid:121) Be careful not to hit your head or face on the rear gate when open- ing or closing the rear gate and when loading or unloading cargo.


NOTE Should the rear gate be unable to be unlocked due to a discharged battery, a fault in the door locking/unlocking system or other causes, you can un- lock it by manually operating the rear gate lock release lever. For the procedure, refer to “Rear gate (Station wagon) – if the rear gate can- not be unlocked” section in chapter 9.


Moonroof (if equipped)


(cid:121) Never let anyone’s hands, arms, head or any objects protrude from the moonroof. A person could be seriously injured if the vehicle stops suddenly or turns sharply or if the vehicle is involved in an accident. To avoid serious personal injury caused by entrapment, you must do the following. (cid:121) Before closing


the moonroof, make sure that no one’s hands, arms, head or other objects will be accidentally caught in the moon- roof.


(cid:121) Before leaving the vehicle, always 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 operating the moonroof.


(cid:121) Never try to check the anti-entrap- ment function by deliberately placing part of your body in the moonroof.
