! Tripped sensor identification
The security indicator light flashes when the alarm
system has been triggered. Also, the number of flash-
es indicates the location of unauthorized intrusion or
the severity of impact on the vehicle.
"
When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion, the indicator light will light for 1 second and then
flash as follows:
When a door or rear gate (Station wagon) was
opened: 5 times
When the trunk (Sedan) was opened: 4 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 vehi-
cles with shock sensors (dealer option))
! Shock sensors (dealer option)
The shock sensors trigger the alarm system 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 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 breaking 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 vibration like
those shown below and trigger the alarm system.
Select the settings of the alarm system and shock
sensors appropriately depending on where you
usually park your vehicle.
Example:
Vibration from construction site
Vibration in multistory car park
Vibration from trains
" You can have the sensitivity of the shock sen-
sors adjusted to your preference by your SUBARU
dealer.
