Antitheft Motion Sensor: Adjustments

IMPACT SENSOR

ADJUSTMENT

1. CHECK IMPACT SENSOR
1. Remove the key from ignition switch.
2. Close all the windows.
3. Close all the doors and the rear gate. Leave open the front hood.
4. Press the LOCK button of the keyless transmitter from outside of vehicle.
5. Check that the security indicator light blinks twice within 0.5 second in 2 seconds cycles after 30 seconds.
6. Hit all windows with the palm with force repeatedly, to check for whether the security alarm operates. Lift up the front hood approx. 12 cm (4.7 in) or more, and then drop it off to check the operation of security alarm.
7. If NG, adjust the impact sensitivity.

2. IMPACT SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT
1. Connect the Subaru Select Monitor to data link connector.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (engine OFF) and run the "PC application for Subaru Select Monitor".
3. On the {{System Selection Menu}}, select the {Impact Sensor}.
4. Make a {Sensitivity Adjustment Mode}.
- Sensitivity can be adjusted in 11 levels (0 to 10).
- Initial setting is 5.
- Smaller number means more sensitive.
- Larger number means 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 burglary attempt, if there is vibration (road construction, elevated parking lots, passage of trains or boarding of ferries), the alarm can be triggered. Because of this, ask the customer about their parking conditions, and set an appropriate sensitivity level after discussion.
- The impact sensitivity can also be adjusted on the manufacturer s optional display, and it can be set in 11 levels from 0 to 10. The sensitivity is set to 5 by default. (Unlike the specification of the Subaru Select Monitor, the setting becomes duller as the setting value becomes smaller, and more sensitive as the number becomes larger.)
- If the sensitivity setting was not performed properly, a buzzer will sound four times. In this case, check the following:
- Is there an error in CAN communication?
- Is there an open circuit in the harness between the body integrated unit and the impact sensor?
- Is there a malfunction in the display, body integrated unit or impact sensor?
