Description & Operation: Alarms: Notes
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.
When activated, the security system causes the parking lights to flash, the horn to sound intermittently, the security indicator light on the combination meter to flash rapidly, and the starter motor circuit to disable. Alarms automatically turn OFF after 30 seconds; however, they will be reactivated if the vehicle is tampered with again. Alarms are activated when a door, rear gate, or trunk lid is opened without using the keyless entry transmitter. (When the system is armed, the alarms will be triggered even if a door is opened by releasing the inside door handle or the trunk lid is opened by operating the trunk lid release lever.) Alarms are also activated when impact to vehicle's body is sensed.
