An electronic chirp will sound once, the turn signal lights will flash once and the indicator light will start flash- ing slowly (approximately once every two seconds) to inform you that the system has armed. NOTE (cid:121) The system can be armed even if the engine hood, the windows and/or moonroofs are opened. Always make sure that they are fully closed before arming the system. (cid:121) The 30-second standby time can be eliminated if you prefer. Have it per- formed by your SUBARU dealer. A3120BE-B.book 17 ページ２００６年５月３０日　火曜日　午前９時３２分 tem may not respond. (cid:84) Emergency disarming If you cannot disarm the system using the transmitter (i.e. the transmitter is lost, bro- ken or the transmitter battery is too weak), you can disarm the system without using the transmitter. The system can be disarmed if you turn the ignition switch from the “LOCK” to the “ON” position with a registered key. (cid:132) Valet mode When you choose the valet mode, the alarm system does not operate. In valet mode, the remote transmitter is used only for locking and unlocking the doors and rear gate and panic activation. To enter the valet mode, change the set- ting of your vehicle’s alarm system for de- activation mode. (Refer to “Activating and deactivating the alarm system” in this sec- tion.) The security indicator light will con- tinue to flash once every three seconds in- dicating that the system is in the valet mode. To exit valet mode, change the setting of your vehicle’s alarm system for activation mode. (Refer to “Activating and deactivat- ing the alarm system” in this section.) (cid:132) Passive arming When passive arming mode has been programmed by the dealer, arming of the system is automatically accomplished without using the remote transmitter. Note that in this mode, DOORS MUST BE MANUALLY LOCKED. (cid:84) To enter the passive mode If you wish to program the passive arming mode, have it done by your SUBARU dealer. (cid:84) Arming the system In passive mode, the system will au- tomatically activate the alarm but WILL NOT automatically lock the doors. In order to lock the doors you must either lock them as indicated 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” po- sition. Keys and doors 2-17 200721 1) LOCK 2) ON 2.

Al- so, the number of flashes indicates the lo- cation of unauthorized intrusion or the se- verity of impact on the vehicle. (cid:121) 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 was opened: 5 times When the ignition switch was turned to the “ON” position by using a key not reg- istered with your immobilizer system: 3 times When a strong impact or multiple im- pacts were sensed: twice (only vehicles with shock sensors (dealer option)) When a light impact was sensed: once (only vehicles with shock sensors (deal- er option)) (cid:132) Shock sensors (dealer op- tion) The shock sensors trigger the alarm sys- tem 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 im- pact is weak, but it warns of a strong im- 200704 4. Before closing the doors, lock all doors with the inside door lock levers. 5. Close the doors. The system will auto- matically arm after one minute. In the passive mode, the system can also be armed with the remote transmitter or with the power door locking switches. If the remote transmitter or power door lock- ing switch is used to lock the vehicle, arm- ing will take place immediately regardless of whether or not the passive mode has been selected. (cid:84) Disarming the system To disarm the system, briefly press the “ ” button on the transmitter. pact 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 (cid:121) The shock sensors are not always able to sense impacts caused by breaking in, and cannot sense an im- pact that does not cause vibration (such as breaking the glass using a rescue hammer). (cid:121) The shock sensors may sense vibra- tion like those shown in the following and trigger the alarm system. Select the settings of the alarm system and shock sensors appropriately depend- ing on where you usually park your ve- hicle. Example: Vibration from construction site Vibration in multistory car park Vibration from trains (cid:121) You can have the sensitivity of the shock sensors adjusted to your prefer- ence by your SUBARU dealer.

And when the engine is turned off, it takes a much greater effort than usual to steer. (cid:121) Before leaving the vehicle, always 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 moonroof or other controls or even make the vehicle move. 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 ig- nition switch from the “ON” position to the “Acc” or “LOCK” position, thereby stopping the engine. Also, if the key is attached to a keyholder or to a large bunch of other keys, cen- trifugal force may act on it as the ve- hicle moves, resulting in unwanted turning of the ignition switch. The ignition switch has four positions: LOCK, ACC, ON and START. Instruments and controls 3-3 ignition switch NOTE (cid:121) Keep the in the “LOCK” position when the engine is not running. (cid:121) Using electrical accessories for a long time with the ignition switch in the “ON” or “ACC” position can cause the battery to go dead. (cid:121) If the ignition switch will not move from the “LOCK” position to the “ACC” position, turn the steering wheel slight- ly to the left and right as you turn the ignition switch. (cid:132) LOCK The key can only be inserted or removed in this position. The ignition switch will lock the steering wheel when you remove the key.

If the driver’s seatbelt is not fastened, a chime will also sound simultaneously. If the driver’s and/or front passenger’s seatbelt(s) are/is still not fastened 6 sec- onds later, both warning lights or the warning light for the unfastened seatbelt will remain lit for 15 seconds. If the driver’s and/or front passenger’s seatbelt(s) are/is still not fastened even 15 seconds later (21 seconds after turning ON the ignition switch), the warning lights will alternate between flashing and steady illumination at 15-second intervals, and the chime will sound while the warning light(s) is/are flashing. Alternate flashing and steady illumination of the warning lights and sounding of the chime will continue until both driver and front passenger fasten their seatbelts. NOTE (cid:121) If the driver and/or front passenger unfasten(s) the seatbelt(s) after fasten- ing, the seatbelt warning device oper- ates as follows according to the vehi- cle speed. (cid:121) At speeds lower than approximate- ly 9 mph (15 km/h) The warning light(s) for unfastened seatbelt(s) will alternate between flashing and steady illumination at 15-second intervals. The chime will not sound. (cid:121) At speeds higher than approxi- mately 9 mph (15 km/h) The warning light(s) for unfastened seatbelt(s) will alternate between flashing and steady illumination at 15-second intervals and the chime will sound while the warning light(s) is/are flashing. (cid:121) It is possible to cancel the warning operation that follows the 6-second warning after turning ON the ignition switch. When the ignition switch is turned ON next time, however, the complete sequence of the warning op- eration resumes. For further details about canceling the warning operation, please contact your SUBARU dealer. If there is no passenger on the front pas- senger’s seat, the seatbelt warning device for the front passenger’s seat will be deac- tivated. The front passenger’s occupant detection system monitors whether or not there is a passenger on the front passen- ger’s seat. Observe the following precau- tions. Failure to do so may prevent the de- vice from functioning correctly or cause the device to fail. Instruments and controls 3-11 (cid:121) Do not install any accessory such as a table or TV onto the seatback. (cid:121) Do not store a heavy load in the seat- back pocket. (cid:121) Do not allow the rear seat occupant to place his/her hands or legs on the front passenger’s seatback, or allow him/her to pull the seatback. If the seatbelt warning device for the front passenger’s seat does not function cor- rectly (e.g., it is activated even when the front passenger’s seat is empty or it is de- activated even when the front passenger has not fastened his/her seatbelt), take the following actions. (cid:121) Ensure that no article is placed on the seat other than a child restraint system and its child occupant. (cid:121) Ensure that there is no article left in the seatback pocket.

Continued vehicle operation without having the emission control system checked and repaired as necessary could cause serious damage, which may not be covered by your vehicle’s warranty. If this light comes on steadily or blinks while the engine is running, it may indicate that there is a problem or potential prob- lem somewhere in the emission control system. (cid:84) If the light comes on steadily: If the light comes on steadily while driving or does not go out after the engine starts, an emission control system malfunction has been detected. You should have your vehicle checked by an authorized SUBARU dealer immedi- ately. NOTE This light also comes on when the fuel filler cap is not tightened until it clicks. If you have recently refueled your vehicle, the cause of the CHECK ENGINE warning light/malfunction indicator lamp coming on could be a loose or missing fuel filler cap. Remove the cap and retighten it until it clicks. Make sure nothing is interfering with the sealing of the cap. Tightening the cap will not make the CHECK ENGINE warning light turn off immediately. It may take several driving trips. If the light does not go out, take your vehicle to your au- thorized SUBARU dealer immediately. (cid:84) If the light is blinking: If the light is blinking while driving, an en- gine misfire condition has been detected which may damage the emission control system. To prevent serious damage to the emis- sion control system, you should do the fol- lowing. (cid:121) Reduce vehicle speed. (cid:121) Avoid hard acceleration. (cid:121) Avoid steep uphill grades. (cid:121) Reduce the amount of cargo, if possi- ble. (cid:121) Stop towing a trailer as soon as possi- ble. Instruments and controls 3-13 The CHECK ENGINE warning light may stop blinking and come on steadily after several driving trips. You should have your vehicle checked by an authorized SUBARU dealer immediately. (cid:132) Charge warning light If this light comes on when the engine is running, it may indicate that the charging system is not working properly. If the light comes on while driving or does not go out after the engine starts, stop the engine at the first safe opportunity and check the alternator belt. If the belt is loose, broken or if the belt is in good con- dition but the light remains on, contact your nearest SUBARU dealer immediate- ly. (cid:132) Oil pressure warning light Do not operate the engine with the oil pressure warning light on. This may cause serious engine damage. If this light comes on when the engine is running, it may indicate that the engine oil pressure is low and the lubricating system – CONTINUED – A3120BE-B.book 14 ページ２００６年５月３０日　火曜日　午前９時３２分 3-14 Instruments and controls is not working properly. If the light comes on while driving or does not go out after the engine starts, stop the engine at the first safe opportunity and check the engine oil level. If the oil level is low, add oil immediately. If the engine oil is at the proper level but the light remains on, contact your nearest SUBARU dealer immediately. (cid:132) AT OIL TEMPerature warning light The AT oil temperature warning light comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position and goes out after approximately 2 seconds. If this light comes on when the engine is running, it may indicate that the automatic transmission fluid temperature is too hot. If the light comes on while driving, it is un- necessary to stop the vehicle, but avoid driving up steep grades or in stop and go traffic. (cid:132) Rear differential oil tem- perature warning light Reduce vehicle speed and park the vehicle in a safe place as soon as possible if the R.DIFF TEMP light comes on. Continued driving with this light on can damage the rear dif- ferential and other parts of the pow- ertrain. If this light comes on when the engine is running, it may indicate that the rear differ- ential oil temperature is too hot. If the light comes on while driving, reduce vehicle speed and stop the vehicle at the nearest safe place. Park the vehicle for several minutes. After the light goes out, you can start driving. If the light does not go out, contact the nearest SUBARU dealer for service. NOTE (cid:121) If the tire pressures are not correct and/or the tires are not all the same size and brand, the rear differential will be heavily loaded when the vehicle is driven, resulting in an abnormally high oil temperature. (cid:121) The rear differential oil will deterio- if its temperature rate increases enough for the rear differential oil tem- perature warning light to come on. It is advisable to have the rear differential oil replaced as soon as possible. (cid:132) Low tire pressure warn- ing light When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, the low tire pressure warn- ing light will come on for approximately 2 seconds to check that the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is functioning properly. If there is no problem and all tires are properly inflated, the light will go out. Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure rec- ommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pres- sure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pres- sure label, you should determine the prop- er inflation pressure for those tires.) As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire pressure moni- toring system (TPMS) that illuminates a low tire pressure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure A3120BE-B.book 15 ページ２００６年５月３０日　火曜日　午前９時３２分 telltale illuminates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driv- ing on a significantly under-inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to main- tain correct tire pressure, even if under-in- flation has not reached the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale. The TPMS gives warning both when a tire is significantly under-inflated and when there is a problem in the TPMS. The low tire pressure warning light operates differ- ently according to these conditions as fol- lows: When a tire is significantly under-inflat- ed: Steady illumination When there is a problem in the TPMS: Flashing Should the warning light flash, have the system inspected by your nearest SUBA- RU dealer as soon as possible. If this light does not come on briefly after the ignition switch is turned ON or the light is flashing, you should have your Tire Pressure Monitoring System checked at a SUBARU dealer as soon as possi- ble. If this light comes on while driving, never brake suddenly and keep driv- ing straight ahead while gradually reducing speed. Then slowly pull off the road to a safe place. Otherwise an accident involving serious vehi- cle damage and serious personal in- jury could occur. If this light still comes on while driv- ing after adjusting the tire pressure, a tire may have significant damage and a fast leak that causes the tire to lose air rapidly. If you have a flat tire, replace it with a spare tire as soon as possible. Instruments and controls 3-15 When a spare tire is mounted or a wheel rim is replaced without the original pressure sensor/transmitter being transferred, the Low tire pres- sure warning light will flash. This in- dicates the TPMS is unable to moni- tor all four road wheels. Contact your SUBARU dealer as soon as possible for tire and sensor replace- ment and/or system resetting. If the light flashes, promptly contact a SUBARU dealer to have the system inspected. The tire pressure monitoring system is NOT a substitute for manually checking tire pressure. The tire pressure should be checked period- ically (at least monthly) using a tire gauge. After any change to tire pres- sure(s), the tire pressure monitoring system will not re-check tire infla- tion pressures until the vehicle is first driven more than 20 mph (32 km/h). Be sure to install the speci- fied size for the front and rear tires. – CONTINUED – A3120BE-B.book 16 ページ２００６年５月３０日　火曜日　午前９時３２分 3-16 Instruments and controls (cid:132) ABS warning light (U.S.) (Canada) The ABS warning light comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” posi- tion and goes out after approximately 2 seconds. This is an indication that the ABS system is working properly. If the warning light behaves as fol- lows, the ABS system may not work properly. When the warning light is on, the ABS function shuts down; however, the conventional brake system con- tinues to operate normally. (cid:121) The warning light does not come on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position. (cid:121) The warning light comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, but it does not go out even when the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 8 mph (12 km/h). (cid:121) The warning light comes on dur- ing driving. If any of these conditions occur, have the ABS system repaired at the first available opportunity by your SUBARU dealer. The ABS warning light comes on together with the brake system warning light if the EBD system becomes faulty. For further details of the EBD system fault warning, refer to “Brake system warning light”. NOTE If the warning light behavior is as de- scribed in the following, the ABS sys- tem may be considered normal. (cid:121) The warning light comes on right af- ter the engine is started but goes out immediately, remaining off. (cid:121) The warning light remains on after the engine has been started, but it goes out when the vehicle speed reaches approximately 8 mph (12 km/h). (cid:121) The warning light comes on during driving, but it goes out immediately and remains off. When driving with an insufficient battery voltage such as when the engine is jump started, the ABS warning light may come on. This is due to the low battery voltage and does not indicate a malfunction. When the battery becomes fully charged, the light will go out. (cid:132) Brake system warning light (U.S.) (Canada) (cid:121) Driving with the brake system warning light on is dangerous. This indicates your brake system may not be working properly. If the light remains on, have the brakes inspected by a SUBARU dealer immediately. (cid:121) If at all in doubt about whether the brakes are operating properly, do not drive the vehicle. Have your vehicle the nearest SUBARU dealer for repair. towed to This light has the following three func- tions: (cid:84) Parking brake warning The light comes on with the parking brake applied while the ignition switch is in the “ON” position. It goes out when the park- ing brake is fully released. (cid:84) Brake fluid level warning This light comes on when the brake fluid level has dropped to near the “MIN” level of the brake fluid reservoir with the ignition switch in the “ON” position and with the A3120BE-B.book 17 ページ２００６年５月３０日　火曜日　午前９時３２分 parking brake fully released. If the brake system warning light should come on while driving (with the parking brake fully released and with the ignition switch positioned in “ON”), it could be an indication of leaking of brake fluid or worn brake pads. If this occurs, immediately stop the vehicle at the nearest safe place and check the brake fluid level. If the fluid level is below the “MIN” mark in the reser- voir, do not drive the vehicle. Have the ve- hicle towed to the nearest SUBARU deal- er for repair. (cid:84) Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD) system warning The brake system warning light also illu- minates if a malfunction occurs in the EBD system. In that event, it comes on together with the ABS warning light. The EBD system may be faulty if the brake system warning light and ABS warning light illuminate simultaneously during driv- ing. Even if the EBD system fails, the conven- tional braking system will still function. However, the rear wheels will be more prone to locking when the brakes are ap- plied harder than usual and the vehicle’s motion may therefore become somewhat harder to control. If the brake system warning light and ABS warning light illuminate simultaneously, take the following steps: 1. Stop the vehicle in the nearest safe, flat place. 2. Shut down the engine, apply the park- ing brake, and then restart it. 3. Release the parking brake. If both warning lights go out, the EBD system may be faulty. Drive carefully to the nearest SUBARU dealer and have the system inspected. 4. If both warning lights come on again and stay illuminated after the engine has been restarted, shut down the engine again, apply the parking brake, and check the brake fluid level. 5. If the brake fluid level is not below the “MIN” mark, the EBD system may be faulty. Drive carefully to the nearest SUBARU dealer and have the system in- spected. 6. If the brake fluid level is below the “MIN” mark, DO NOT drive the vehicle. In- stead, have the vehicle towed to the near- est SUBARU dealer for repair.
