To Enter The Programming Mode

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Subaru Impreza. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: The horn chirps once to indicate that the system has entered the programming mode. Do not start the engine at this time.

You must finish the next step (opening the driver's door) within 45 seconds of starting the PROGRAMMING procedure.
