Subaru Outback: Security indicator light

The security indicator light deters potential thieves by indicating that the
vehicle is equipped with an immobilizer system. It begins flashing approximately
60 seconds after the ignition switch is turned from the “ON” position to the “Acc”
or “LOCK” position or immediately after the key is pulled out.
If the security indicator light does not flash, the immobilizer system may be
malfunctioning. If this occurs, contact your SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.
In case an unauthorized key is used (e.g. an imitation key), the security indicator
light illuminates.
NOTE
Even if the security indicator light flashes irregularly or its fuse blows (the
light does not flash if its fuse is blown), the immobilizer system will function
normally.
