Keys and doors
&
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
light for 1 second and then flash as
follows:
.
When a door or rear gate (5-door) or
the trunk (4-door) was opened: 5 times
.
When the ignition switch was turned
to the
“
ON
”
position: 3 times
.
When a strong impact or multiple
impacts were sensed: twice (only
vehicles with shock sensors (dealer
option))
.
When a light impact was sensed:
once (only vehicles with shock sen-
sors (dealer option))
NOTE
Any of the above indicator light flash-
ings will recur each time the ignition
switch is turned to the
“
ON
”
position.
Rearming the alarm system cancels the
flashing.
&
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 are 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 as indicated in the following
examples 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 a construction site
Vibration in a multistory car park
Vibration from trains
.
You can have the sensitivity of the
shock sensors adjusted to your pre-
ference by your SUBARU dealer.
