Introduced as a model of the 1996 Legacy, the Legacy Outback is an alternative to traditional truck-based sport utility vehicle (SUV).
With good ground clearance the Outback is designed to combine a high riding, "rugged road" capable vehicle with excellent emergency handling and traction, and the safer, more comfortable ride of a car.
Confused? 'Outback' name is used on 2 vehicles. This page is the Legacy model. There is also the Impreza Outback Sport. The Ob Sport is a smaller car. More?
Outback Sedan, timberline

The Outback's all-wheel-drive system is full time and instantly reacts to changing road conditions. The beauty of all-wheel-drive by Subaru of Canada explains it well.

2003 Outback, all models information subject to change, correction
This engine has an aluminum crankcase, double-overhead camshafts (dohc) chain-driven with four valves per cylinder. The timing chain does NOT have a replacement schedule - suggested replacement of the rubber belt on the 2.5L 4 cyl is 105,000 miles. The 6 cylinder uses Direct Ignition with an individual ignition coil for each cylinder so there is no distributor or sparkplug wires. The H6-3.0 produces nearly 30 percent more horsepower and torque than the 165-horsepower 2.5-liter H-4 and is only 0.8 inches longer. Premium fuel, 91 octane, is recommended.

Using
the Subaru keyless entry, with optional alarm
1. Locking. Larger, orange
button.
Push the lock button. This locks all the doors and will set the alarm (if
equipped and in 'setable' mode)
2. Unlocking. Smaller, blue
button
Driver's door only: Push the unlock button once to unlock the driver's
door and also disarm alarm if set.
All doors: Push the small button *firmly* a second time within a few seconds
to unlock all the doors.
3. Chirp horn?
The chirp is once for lock, two times for unlock, multiple times if a door
is ajar when you try to lock them.
This is optional. To turn the audible on or off unlock all the doors and
hold *both* buttons down until the horn honks.
The horn will always chirp repeatedly if a door is not fully closed when
you lock with the remote.
5. Alarm.
Valet mode or alarm off: alarm light (red dot center dashboard dispay)
rapidly
flashing 3 times/pause means the alarm is
in "Valet" mode and is not setable. This light will stop flashing when
you start the car.
Arming the alarm: to re-enable an alarm in valet mode,
Unlock all the doors and hold the small button down on the remote
until the light stops flashing.
Now when you lock the doors the alarm will be set and the light will slowly
flash on and off, on and off.
6. Alarm goes off? Push the small button on the remote or if you don't have the remote put the key in the ignition and turn it on and off three times.
7. Program remotes: works
on all with Alpine system. unlock all doors. Cycle key quickly but carefully
on-off app 10 times until the car honks one time.
Do not turn the key far
enough to start the car. Just to the 'on' position so the dash light up.
When the car honks, open
and close the driver's door, press a remote button and that's it.
Program another remote?
Open and close the door again and push the 2nd remote button.
When you're done, remove
the key and the horn should honk 3 times. You're all set.
Sometime it takes me more
than 10 on-offs to make the horn honk, sometimes you need to start-turn
off the car, lock-unlock the doors a few times, wait a while etc. But is
does work.
