Keys and doors/Alarm system
! Arming the system
CAUTION
In passive mode, the system will
automatically activate the alarm but
WILL NOT automatically lock the
doors. In order to lock the doors
you must either lock them as in-
dicated 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"
position.
2. Turn the ignition switch from "ON" to
"LOCK"/"OFF" position (all models) and
remove the key from the ignition switch
(models without "keyless access with
push-button start system").
3. Open the doors and get out of the
vehicle.
4. Before closing the doors, lock all doors
with the inside door lock levers.
5. Close the doors. The system will
automatically arm after 1 minute.
In the passive mode, the system can also
be armed with the remote transmitter,
access key, keyless access function or
the power door locking switch. If the
remote transmitter, access key, keyless
access function or power door locking
switch is used to lock the vehicle, arming
will take place immediately regardless of
whether or not the passive mode has
been selected.
! Disarming the system
To disarm the system, briefly press the
disarm button on the access key/transmit-
ter.
& 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
illuminate for 1 second and then flash as
follows:
. When a door or rear gate (Outback)
was opened: 5 times
. When the trunk (Legacy) was opened:
4 times
. When a strong impact or multiple
impacts were sensed: twice (only models
with shock sensors (dealer option))
. When a light impact was sensed: once
(only models 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 hazard
warning flashers to flash for a short time
when the sensed impact is weak, but it
warns of a strong impact or multiple
