Impact Sensitivity Adjustment

  1. Prepare the Subaru Select Monitor kit.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON (engine OFF) and run the "PC application for Subaru Select Monitor".
  3. On << System Selection Menu >> display, select {Impact Sensor}.
  4. Execute the {Sensitivity Adjustment Mode}.
    • The sensitivity can be adjusted in 11 levels from 0 to 10.
    • The initial value is 5.
    • A smaller number indicates a higher sensitivity.
    • A larger number indicates a lower sensitivity.
  5. Turn the ignition switch to OFF and remove the Subaru Select Monitor.
    NOTE:
    • Make sure that the sensitivity is set to an appropriate level so that any minor vibration typically experienced on a daily basis, such as a person leaning over a door or a ball hitting vehicle lightly, will not activate the alarm.
    • The alarm should respond to significant vibrations that suggest a violence by a theft such as window glasses or doors being hit strongly and consecutively.
    • The alarm may respond to substantial vibrations even though they do not mean any theft behavior, for example, road construction, multi-story parking space, train passing, vehicle getting on a ferry. Therefore, when adjusting the sensitivity, consult the customer to confirm the parking environment or other external conditions.
    • If the sensitivity adjustment fails, the buzzer sounds four times. At that time, check the following points.
      • Error in CAN communication
      • Harness for open between body integrated unit and impact sensor
      • Body integrated unit, or impact sensor failure
