System operation

The alarm system will give the following alarms when triggered.

- The vehicle’s horn will sound for 30 seconds.

- The turn signal lights will flash for 30 seconds.

If any of the doors or the rear gate 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 is closed while the horn is sounding, the horn will stop sounding with a delay of up to 30 seconds.

The alarm is triggered by:
- Opening any of the doors or the rear gate
- Physical impact to the vehicle, such as forced entry (only vehicles with shock sensors (dealer option))

NOTE
The alarm system can be set to trigger the illumination of the following interior lights.

- Dome light (illuminates only when the dome light switch is in the “DOOR” position)
- Map lights (illuminate only when the door interlock switch is in the “DOOR” position)

The notifications regarding the dome light and the map lights are deactivated as the factory setting. A SUBARU dealer can activate the system. Contact your SUBARU dealer for details.
