Arming the system

NOTE

The system can be armed even if the engine hood, the windows and/or moonroof are open. Always make sure that they are fully closed before arming the system.

The 30-second standby time can be eliminated if you prefer. Have it performed by your SUBARU dealer.

The system is in the standby mode for a 30-second period before arming the system. The security indicator light will flash at short intervals during this period.

If any of the following actions is done during the standby period, the system will not switch to the surveillance state.

– Doors (including the rear gate) are unlocked using the access key/ remote transmitter.

– Doors (including the rear gate) are unlocked using the keyless access function (models with “keyless access with push-button start system”).

– Any door (including the rear gate) is opened.

– The ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position (models without “keyless access with push-button start system”).

– Push-button ignition switch is turned to the “ACC” position (models with “keyless access with pushbutton start system”).
