. The 30-second standby time can be eliminated if you prefer. Have it per- formed by your SUBARU dealer. . If your vehicle is a Sedan and you unlock the trunk using the remote transmitter’s “ ” button with the alarm system armed, the system will be temporarily placed in a standby state. The system will go back to the surveillance state upon locking the trunk. . 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. . If any of the following actions is done during the standby period, the system will not switch to the surveil- lance state.

& 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 (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 vehicles with shock sensors (dealer option))

& 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 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. 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. Example:

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

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

Child safety locks

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.

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

Never allow any child to get in the trunk and play with the release handle. If the driver starts the vehi- cle without knowing that a child is inside the trunk and the child opens the lid using the release handle, the child could fall out and be killed or seriously injured.

CAUTION

. Do not close the lid while grip- ping 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 hazard.

! Inspection Perform the following steps at least twice a year to check the release handle for correct operation. 1. Open the trunk lid.

2. Use a screwdriver with a thin blade. Slide the screwdriver blade from the slit aperture of the lock assembly fully to the end until you hear a click.

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 sunroof 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 were driving, it could turn the ignition switch from the “ON” posi-

if
