2. IMPACT SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT
1. Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to the data link connector.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3. Select {Impact Sensor} from the main menu.
4. Make a {Sensitivity Adjustment Mode}
- Sensitivity can be adjusted in 11 levels (0 to 10).
- Initial setting is 5.
- A smaller number means it will be more sensitive.
- A larger number means it will be less sensitive.

5. Turn the ignition switch to OFF, and then remove the Subaru Select Monitor.

NOTE:
- Set the sensor so that it is not triggered by normal vibrations (someone reclining on the door, hit by a ball, etc.).
- Set the sensor to operate the alarm when the windshield glass or door is hit hard repeatedly, etc, where it can be assumed that there is an attempt to damage the car by a burglar, etc.
- Even if there is no attempt to steal or burglarize the car, if the vehicle is subject to an equivalent shock or vibration (from road construction, etc.), the alarm will sound. Discuss with the customer their parking environment to make sensitivity settings accordingly.
