ity reasons. It is recommended that you

have your dealer program all of your

transmitters into your system.

! Programming the transmitters

The keyless entry system is equipped with

a special code learning feature that allows

you to program new transmitter codes into

the system or to delete old ones. The

system can learn up to four unique

transmitter codes. The four transmit ter

codes may be the same or different.

Transmitter circuit board

To register a new transmitter with the

keyless entry system, it is necessary to

program the transmitter’s code (identifica-

tion number) into the system. A label

showing the code is affixed to the bag

containing the transmitter, and another is

affixed to the circuit board inside the

transmitter. If there is no bag, open the

transmitter case and make a note of the

eight-digit number. Program the number

into the system in accordance with the

following procedure:

1. Firmly close the doors and the rear

gate (Station wagon) or trunk lid (Sedan).

2. Open the driver’s door, sit on the

driver’s seat, and close the door.

3. Perform the following steps within 45

seconds.

(1) Open and close the driver’s door

once.

1) LOCK

2) ON

(2) Insert the key into the ignition

switch, then turn it from the “LOCK”

position to the “ON” position 10 times

within 15 seconds.

NOTE

. When you complete step ( 2), an

electronic tone will sound once.

. If you do not perform steps (1) and

(2) within 45 seconds, an error will

occur. An electronic tone w ill not

sound. In this event, perform the whole

procedure again beginning with part 1.

4. Open and close the door once within

15 seconds.

NOTE

. When part 4 of the procedure is

completed, an electronic tone will

sound for 30 seconds.

. If you do not perform the operations

in part 4 within 15 seconds, an error

will occur and the electronic tone will

not sound. In this event, perform the

registration steps again beginning with

part 3 of the procedure.

5. Before the electronic tone stops

sounding, press the power door lock knob

to the “LOCK” side the same number of

times as the leftmost digit of the transmit-

ter code. For example, press the lock knob

eight times if the leftmost digit of the code

is 8.

NOTE

. The electronic tone will stop sound-

ing when you start entering the num-

ber.

. If you do not start entering the

number using the lock knob before

the electronic tone stops sounding, an

error will occur. In this event, perform

the registration steps again beginning

with part 3 of the procedure.

. If the interval between one push of

the knob and the next exceeds five

seconds, an error will occur. In this

event, perform the procedure again

beginning with part 4. If an error occurs

six times, perform the procedure again

starting with part 3.

6. When you have finished entering the

number, pull the lock knob to the “UN-

LOCK” side within five seconds.

NOTE

. An electronic tone will sound.

. If you pull the lock knob to the

“UNLOCK” side when more than five

seconds have passed, an error will

occur. In this event, perform the proce-

dure again beginning with part 4. If an

error occurs six times, perform the

procedure again starting with part 3.

7. Perform parts 5 and 6 of the procedure

for each of the remaining digits of the

transmitter code beginning with the sec-

ond digit (counti ng from the left) and

finishing with the eighth digit.

NOTE

. When you finish entering the eighth

digit, an electronic tone will sound for

30 seconds.

. If the interval between one push of

the knob and the next exceeds five

seconds, an error will occur. In this

event, perform the procedure again

beginning with part 4. If an error occurs

six times, perform the procedure again

starting with part 3.

8. Before the electronic tone stops

sounding, use the power door lock knob

to again enter the transmitter code begin-

ning with the leftmost digit.

NOTE

If you do not start entering the number

using the lock knob before the electro-

nic tone stops sounding, an error will

occur. In this event, perform the proce-

dure again beginning with part 3.

9. When you have finished entering the

code a second time, an electronic tone will

sound for one second to indicate comple-

tion of registration, provided the code

entered the second time is identical to that

entered the first time.

NOTE

If the code entered the second time is

not identical to the code entered the

first time, an error will occur. In this

event, perform t he procedure again

beginning with part 5. If an error occurs

five times, perform the procedure again

starting with part 3.

10. If you wish to program another trans-

mitter code into the system (up to four

transmitter codes can be programmed into

the system), perform the procedure begin-

ning with part 4. When you have finished

programming all of the necessary trans-

mitter codes into the system, remove the

key from the ignition switch.

11. Test every registered transmitter to

confirm correct operation.

! Deleting old transmitter codes

The control unit of the keyless entry

system has four memory locations to store

transmitter codes, giving it the ability to

operate with up to four transmitters. When

you lose a transmitter, the lost transmit-

ter’s code remains in the memory. For

security reasons, lost transmitter codes

should be deleted from the memory.

To delete old transmitter codes, program

four transmitter codes into the system. If

you have only one current transmitter,

program it four times. If you have two

current transmitters, program each one

twice. If you have three current transmit-

ters, program two of them once and the

third one twice. This process will leave

only curren t tra nsmit ter co des in t he

system’s memory.

NOTE

Make sure no one else is operating

their keyless entry system within range

of your vehicle when programming

transmitters. If someone else were to

operate their remote transmitter while

you are programming your transmit-

ters, it is possible that their transmitter

code will be programmed into your

system, allowing them unauthorized

access to your vehicle.

Alarm system

The alarm system helps to protect your

vehicle and valuables from theft. The horn

sounds and the turn signal lights flash if

someone attempts to break into yo ur

vehicle.

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 alarm operation

The alarm system will give the following

alarms when triggered:

. The vehicle’s horn will sound 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 sto p

sounding with a delay of up to 30 seconds.

The alarm is triggered by:
