Subaru Forester: Tripped sensor identification
The security indicator light flashes when the alarm system has been triggered.

When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, the indicator light will light for 1 second and then flash as follows.
- When a door or rear gate was opened:
5 times
- When the ignition switch was turned to
the “ON” position: 3 times
- When a strong impact or multiple
impacts were sensed: twice (only vehicles
with shock sensors (dealer option))

switch is turned to the “ON” position.
