Arming System With Remote Transmitter

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Subaru Outback and 2002 Subaru Legacy. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Close all windows and moonroof (if so equipped). Remove key from ignition switch, then open door(s) and get out of vehicle.
  2. Make sure engine hood and trunk lid (if equipped) are locked. Close all doors (and rear gate on station wagons).
  3. Briefly press LOCK/Arm button (for less than 2 seconds). All doors (and rear gate on station wagon) will lock. Horn will sound once, parking lights will flash once, and indicator light will flash slowly (approximately once every 2 seconds). See Fig 1 .

If any door, rear gate, or trunk lid is not fully closed, the horn sounds 3 times, the parking lights flash 3 times, and the indicator light flashes rapidly. When that entry in question is finally closed properly, the system will automatically arm and all doors will automatically lock.
