! Deleting old transmitter codes The control unit of the remote 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’s code remains in the memory. For security reasons, transmitter codes should be deleted from the mem- ory. To delete old transmitter codes, program four transmitter codes into the system. If you have only one current transmitter, program it If you have two transmitters, program each one current twice. If you have three current transmit- ters, program two of them once and the third one twice. This process will leave only current transmitter codes in the system’s memory.

& 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. Examples:

– 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.
