Alarm system

The alarm system helps to protect your
vehicle and valuables from theft. The horn
sounds and the hazard warning flashers
flash if someone attempts to break into
your vehicle.
For models with "keyless access with
push-button start system":
The system can be armed or disarmed
with the access key.
The system will not be activated when the
push-button ignition switch is in the "Acc"
or "ON" position.
For models without "keyless access
with push-button start system":
The system can be armed and disarmed
with the remote transmitter.
The system will not be activated 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
deactivation yourself or have it done by
your SUBARU dealer.
& System alarm operation
The alarm system will give the following
alarms when triggered:
. The vehicle's horn will sound and the
hazard warning flashers will flash for 30
seconds.
. If any door (or the rear gate/trunk lid)
remains open after the 30-second period,
the horn will continue to sound for a
maximum 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:
. Opening a door, the rear gate or trunk
lid

forced entry (only models with shock
sensors (dealer option))

notification is deactivated as the fac-
tory setting. Refer to "Function set-
tings" F24. A SUBARU dealer can
