Subaru Tribeca (2014 year). Instruction - part 8

NOTE

. When you finish entering the eighth

digit, an electronic tone will sound for

30 seconds.
. If the interval between one push of

the switch and the next exceeds 5

seconds, an error will occur. In this

event, perform the procedure again

beginning with part 4. If an error occurs

six times, perform the procedure again

starting with part 3.
8. Before the electronic tone stops

sounding, use the power door locking

switch to reenter the transmitter code

beginning with the leftmost digit.

NOTE

If you do not start entering the number

using the lock knob before the electro-

nic tone stops sounding, an error will

occur. In this event, perform the proce-

dure again beginning with part 3.
9. When you have finished entering the

code a second time, an electronic tone will

sound for 1 second and automatic door

locking and unlocking operation will take

place once to indicate completion of

registration, provided the code entered

the second time is identical to that entered

the first time.

NOTE

If the code entered the second time is

not identical to the code entered the

first time, an error will occur. In this

event, perform the procedure again

beginning with part 5. If an error occurs

five times, perform the procedure again

starting with part 3.
10. If you wish to program another trans-

mitter code into the system (up to four

transmitter codes can be programmed into

the system), perform the procedure begin-

ning with part 4. When you have finished

programming all of the necessary trans-

mitter codes into the system, remove the

key from the ignition switch.
11. Test every registered transmitter to

confirm correct operation.

! Deleting old transmitter codes
The control unit of the remote keyless

entry system has four memory locations to

store transmitter codes, giving it the ability

to operate with up to four transmitters.

When you lose a transmitter, the lost

transmitter’s code remains in the memory.

For security reasons, lost transmitter

codes should be deleted from the mem-

ory.
To delete old transmitter codes, program

four transmitter codes into the system. If

you have only one current transmitter,

program it four times. If you have two

current transmitters, program each one

twice. If you have three current transmit-

ters, program two of them once and the

third one twice. This process will leave

only current transmitter codes in the

system’s memory.

NOTE

Make sure no one else is operating

their keyless entry system within range

of your vehicle when programming

transmitters. If someone else were to

operate their remote transmitter while

you are programming your transmit-

ters, it is possible that their transmitter

code will be programmed into your

system, allowing them unauthorized

access to your vehicle.

broken or the transmitter battery is too

weak), you can disarm the system without

using the transmitter.
The system can be disarmed if you turn

the ignition switch from the “LOCK” to the
“ON” position with a registered key.

& Valet mode

When you choose the valet mode, the

alarm system does not operate. In valet

mode, the remote transmitter is used only

for locking and unlocking the doors and

rear gate and panic activation.

To enter the valet mode, change the

setting of your vehicle’s alarm system for

deactivation mode. Refer to “Activating

and deactivating the alarm system” F2-

16. The security indicator light will con-

tinue to flash once every 3 seconds

indicating that the system is in the valet

& Tripped sensor identification

The security indicator light flashes when

the alarm system has been triggered.

Also, the number of flashes indicates the

location of unauthorized intrusion or the

severity of impact on the vehicle.

When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, the indicator light will

illuminate for 1 second and then flash as

follows.
. When a door or rear gate was opened:

5 times
. When the ignition switch was turned to

the “ON” position by using a key not

registered with your immobilizer system: 3

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 vehicles with shock sensors (dealer

option))

NOTE

Any of the above indicator light flash-

ing patterns will recur each time the

ignition switch is turned to the “ON”

position. Rearming the alarm system

cancels the flashing pattern of the

security indicator light.

& Shock sensors (dealer op-

tion)

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 break-

ing 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 vi-

bration like those shown in the follow-

ing list and trigger the alarm system.

Select the settings of the alarm system

and shock sensors appropriately de-

pending 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 sensors adjusted to your pre-

ference by your SUBARU dealer.

Child safety locks

WARNING
