2-14 Keys and doors
Alarm system
The alarm system helps to protect your
vehicle and valuables from theft. The horn
sounds, dome light illuminates (only when
the dome light switch is in the “DOOR”
position) and the turn signal lights flash if
someone a ttempts to break into your
vehicle. The starter motor is also inter-
rupted to prevent starting the vehicle
without a key.
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
deactivation yourself or have it done by
your SUBARU dealer.
& System operation
The alarm system will sound the following
alarms when triggered:
. The vehicle’s horn will sound, dome
light illuminates (only when the dome light
switch is in the “DOOR” position) and the
turn signal lights 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
. Physical impact to the vehicle, such as
forced entry (only vehicles with sho ck
sensors (dealer option))
NOTE
The alarm system can be set to trigger
illumination of the dome light. The
dome light notification is deactivated
as the factory setting. A SUBARU
dealer can activate the system. Contact
your SUBARU dealer for details.
