T Emergency disarming
If you cannot disarm the system using the transmitter
(i.e. the transmitter is lost, broken or the transmitter
battery is too weak), you can disarm the system with-
out using the transmitter.
To disarm the system:
1. Unlock the door with the key and then open the
door.
2. The alarm will sound.
3. Insert the key into the ignition switch and cycle it
from the “LOCK” to the “ON” position three (3) times
within 5 seconds.
„ Valet mode
When you choose the valet mode, the security system
does not operate. In valet mode, the remote transmit-
ter is used only for locking and unlocking the doors
and rear gate and panic activation.
To enter the valet mode, open the driver’s door and
keep the “ ” button depressed for more than two
seconds. The security system status indicator light
will continue to flash twice per second indicating that
the system is in the valet mode.
To exit valet mode, open the driver’s door and keep
the “ ” button pressed for more than two sec-
onds. The indicator will stop flashing.
NOTE
If the remote transmitter is used to lock or unlock
the doors while the valet mode is selected, the
turn signal lights do not flash but an electronic
chirp is emitted.
„ Passive arming
When passive arming mode has been programmed by
the dealer, arming of the system is automatically ac-
complished without using the remote transmitter. Note
that in this mode, DOORS MUST BE MANUALLY
LOCKED.
T To enter the passive mode
Since programming the passive arming mode is a
complicated procedure, have it done by your nearest
SUBARU dealer.
T Arming the system
1. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position.
