Does Subaru have a car alarm?

Yes. Subaru vehicles sold in the United States generally come with a factory security system that includes an engine immobilizer and an audible alarm when the vehicle is accessed without the proper key fob. The exact features can vary by model and trim year.

What a Subaru security system typically includes

Typical components of Subaru's factory security system are:

• Engine immobilizer that prevents starting the engine without a properly programmed key


• Vehicle security system sensors that trigger the alarm if a door, hood, or trunk is opened without the key fob


• Audible and visual alert (horn honk and headlights) when the alarm is triggered


• Remote keyless entry with a panic/alarm function and fob-based arming/disarming

In practice, these elements are designed to deter theft and provide a clear alert if someone attempts unauthorized entry.

How to verify the security setup on your exact Subaru

To confirm the specific configuration for your vehicle, use these steps:

1. Check the window sticker (Monroney label) on the car or the original build sheet for a listed "Security System" or "Immobilizer."


2. Consult the owner's manual section on Security or Vehicle Security to confirm what is included in your trim/year.


3. Ask your Subaru dealer or contact Subaru Customer Support with your VIN for an exact feature list.


4. If you are shopping used, review the vehicle history report or ask for the original window sticker to verify security features.


5. Verify current functionality by locking and unlocking with the key fob and testing the alarm (in a safe, quiet environment).

Most owners can verify the security features quickly with these steps, ensuring the system matches what the manufacturer specifies for their model and year.

Regional and trim variations

Across markets and model years, Subaru sometimes varies the standard equipment. In the United States, most new Subarus include a factory security system with an immobilizer as standard across recent trims, but exact feature sets (such as whether there is a glass-break sensor or interior motion sensor) may differ by region and trim. Always check the exact build sheet for your vehicle.

Summary

Subaru generally equips its new vehicles with a factory security system that includes an engine immobilizer and an audible alarm, a setup designed to deter theft and alert owners to unauthorized entry. For any specific car, verify the exact features via the window sticker, owner's manual, or a Subaru dealer using the VIN. In short, if you own or plan to buy a Subaru, you can expect a built-in alarm as part of the standard security system, with variations by model year and trim.

How do I know if my car has an alarm?

You can tell if your car has an alarm by checking the owner's manual, looking for a blinking light on the dashboard, or testing it by locking the doors with a window down and then opening a door from the inside. The key fob may also have a panic button, or a separate alarm fob could be present, especially if it's an aftermarket system. 
Visual and physical checks

• Look for a blinking light: Many factory systems have a small, blinking LED light on the dashboard (often blue) that indicates the alarm is armed. 
• Check the key fob: Look for an extra button on your key fob that might be for the alarm or a separate, aftermarket fob altogether. 
• Inspect the windows: Some cars have a sticker on the side window indicating an alarm system. 
• Listen for a sound: If the horn or a separate siren activates when the car is locked and a door is opened, your car definitely has an alarm.

• Consult the owner's manual: The owner's manual is the most reliable source for information on factory-installed security features. 
• Contact the manufacturer or dealership: You can call the dealership for your car's make and ask them to check if it has an alarm based on the VIN. 
• Ask a mechanic: Your mechanic can also tell you for sure the next time you have the car serviced.
