Subaru Forester: Remote keyless entry system / Setting audible signal operation (models without “keyless access with
push-button start system”)
Using an electronic chirp, the system will
give you an audible signal when the doors
lock and unlock. If desired, you may turn
the audible signal off.
Perform the following steps to deactivate
the audible signal. You can also use the
same steps to restore the function.
- Sit in the driver’s seat and shut all
doors and the rear gate.

- Press and hold the
of the
power
locking switch and pull the key out and
reinsert it into the ignition switch at least 6
times within 10 seconds after Step 2.
- Open and close the driver’s door once
within 10 seconds after Step 3. The hazard
warning flashers flash 3 times to indicate
completion of the setting.
Your SUBARU dealer can perform the
above procedure for you. Also, for models
with a combination meter display (color
LCD), the setting can be changed using
the display. For details, refer to “Vehicle
Setting”.
Replacing lost transmitters.
If you lose a transmitter or want to
purchase additional transmitters (up to
four can be programmed), your transmitters
should be reprogrammed for security
reasons...

The catalytic converter is installed in the

reduce HC, CO and NOx in exhaust gases,
thus providing cleaner exhaust.
To avoid damage to the catalytic converter:
Use only unleaded fuel. Even a small
amount of leaded fuel will damage the
catalytic converter...
