system or other causes, the rear gate
can be unlocked by manually operating
the rear gate lock release lever. For the
procedure, refer to “Rear gate – if the
rear gate cannot be opened”

P432.

Do not close the rear gate by

pulling the handle from inside the
cargo space. There is a danger of
your hand being caught and
injured.

CAUTION

Do not jam a plastic bag into or

place cellophane tape on the rear
gate stays or scratch the stays
while loading or unloading cargo.
Doing so could cause leakage of
gas from the stays, which may
result in their inability to hold the
rear gate open.

Be careful not to hit your head or

face on the rear gate when open-
ing or closing the rear gate and
when loading or unloading cargo.

Power rear gate (if equipped)

WARNING

When operating the power rear

gate, observe the following pre-
cautions. Ignoring the precau-
tions may result in an injury (e.
g., anyone’s body is hit against
the rear gate or is caught in the

rear gate, etc.).

– Make sure there are no people

around the rear gate.

– Never let anyone get close to

the rear gate.

When closing the rear gate, be

sure to prevent anyone’s body
parts or other objects from being
caught in the rear gate. Other-
wise, serious personal injury may
be caused by entrapment.

After opening the rear gate on a

slope using the power rear gate
feature, the rear gate may close.
Make sure that the rear gate has
stopped completely after open-
ing it.

When leaving the vehicle, always

carry the key for safety and never
allow an unattended child to
remain in the vehicle. Doing so
could result in injury to the child
operating the power rear gate.

The driver should be aware of and

pay careful attention to his/her
responsibilities.

Use the power rear gate only

when the area around the rear
gate is clearly visible and when
you have checked that there is no

danger of people being caught in
the rear gate.

CAUTION

When closing the rear gate after

opening it, make sure to use the
power rear gate. If the rear gate is
closed manually with extra force,
the power rear gate may be
damaged.

Do not install any accessories

other than genuine SUBARU
parts on the rear gate. If the
weight of rear gate increases
excessively, the rear gate stays
cannot support the rear gate
sufficiently when opening the
rear gate. Also, the power rear
gate may not function properly or
may malfunction.

Do not touch the driving rod.

Doing so may result in injury or
damage.

The power rear gate operates only when
all of the following conditions are satisfied.

The vehicle is stopped completely.

The outside temperature is within a

range of −22

F to 140

F (from −30

C to

C).

The ignition switch is in the “LOCK”/

“OFF” or “ACC” position. Or, the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position and the select
lever is in the “P” position.

We recommend using the power rear gate
function in most circumstances instead of
manual operation.

NOTE

Do not press the power rear gate

button repeatedly while the power rear
gate is operating. Otherwise, the sys-
tem may ignore the button operation in
order to avoid being damaged.

If the vehicle starts to move while the

power rear gate is operating, the sys-
tem sounds a buzzer and closes the
rear gate automatically. At this time, if
the system detects jamming, it will
deactivate the power rear gate function
and the rear gate will not be closed. If
this occurs, close the rear gate manu-
ally. For details, refer to “Manual rear
gate”

P150.

If you try to open the rear gate using

the power rear gate function immedi-
ately after closing the rear gate using
the power rear gate function, an elec-
tronic chirp will sound and the rear gate
will not open. Wait for a while before
trying to open the rear gate via the
power rear gate function.

If either of the operating conditions

has not been satisfied while operating
the power rear gate, an electronic chirp
will sound and the power rear gate will
be deactivated. In this case, the rear
gate may stop opening or closing
suddenly.

Reverse function

WARNING

Do not let parts of your body get

caught when operating the re-
verse function. If the reverse
function does not operate for
some reason, this may lead to
serious injury or accidents.

The reverse function may not

operate if foreign objects are
caught in the rear gate just before
it closes completely. Be careful
not to catch your fingers and
other body parts.

The reverse function may not

operate depending on the object
shape and the manner in which it
was caught. Be careful not to
catch your fingers and other
body parts.

CAUTION

If the reverse function is operated

3 times consecutively, automatic
opening and closing of the power
rear gate function will be can-
celed and the rear gate will stop
opening or closing suddenly.

However, the rear gate may open
or close depending on the rear
gate height when automatic op-
eration is ceased. Be careful that
the rear gate does not hit any-
one’s head or face, etc. and that
fingers and baggage, etc. are not
caught in it.

Take care not to damage the

touch sensors. Otherwise, the
reverse function may cease to
operate.

If, while opening or closing using power
rear gate, the rear gate catches persons or
baggage or hits an obstacle, an electronic
chirp will sound 3 times and the rear gate
will operate as follows.

When opening the rear gate:

The rear

gate will automatically close.

When closing the rear gate:

The rear

gate will automatically open.

Touch sensors

Touch sensors are attached on the left and
right edges of the rear gate. If the touch
sensors detect fingers, baggage, etc.
while closing by the power rear gate
function, an electronic chirp will sounds 3
times and the rear gate will open auto-
matically.

NOTE

When the rear gate is opened using the
reverse function, it will be opened fully
or to the height registered in the
memory function.

chirp will sound and the rear gate auto
closure function will apply braking to the
rear gate so that it prevents a rapid closure
of the rear gate.

NOTE

If there is snow on the rear gate, only

use the power rear gate function after
removing the snow.

If you close the rear gate manually

just after the rear gate is fully opened
using the power rear gate function, the
rear gate drop prevention function will
detect a rapid closure of the rear gate
and apply braking to the rear gate. In
this case, this is not a malfunction.

Selecting audible signal operation

Using an electronic chirp, the power rear
gate will give you an audible signal before
starting its operation. If desired, the audi-
ble signal can be turned off by a SUBARU
dealer. Consult your SUBARU dealer for
details.

For models with “keyless access with
push-button start system”, you can turn
the audible signal off by operating the
combination meter display. For details,
refer to “Menu screens”

P200.

The ON/OFF setting of the audible signal
also works as the audible signal settings

for the “remote keyless entry system” and
the “keyless access with push-button start
system”. However, for the warning chime
such as that caused by “Reverse function”

P157 or “Rear gate auto closure func-

tion”

P157, it cannot be set as non-

operational.

Initialization of power rear gate

3-1. Ignition switch (models
without “keyless access with
push-button start system”)

WARNING

Never turn the ignition switch to

the “LOCK” position while the
vehicle is being driven or towed
because that will lock the steer-
ing wheel, preventing steering
control. And when the engine is
turned off, it takes a much greater
effort than usual to steer.

Before leaving the vehicle, al-

ways remove the key from the
ignition switch for safety and
never allow an unattended child
to remain in the vehicle. Failure to
follow this procedure could re-
sult in injury to a child or others.
Children could operate the power
windows, the moonroof or other
controls or even make the vehicle
move.

CAUTION

Do not attach a large key holder or
key case to either key. If it banged
against your knees or hands while
you are driving, it could turn the
ignition switch from the “ON” posi-
tion to the “ACC” or “LOCK” posi-
tion, thereby stopping the engine.
Also, if the key is attached to a key
holder or to a large bunch of other
keys, centrifugal force may act on it
as the vehicle moves, resulting in
unwanted turning of the ignition
switch.

The ignition switch has four positions:
LOCK, ACC, ON and START.

NOTE

Keep the ignition switch in the

“LOCK” position when the engine is
not running.

Using electrical accessories for a

long time with the ignition switch in the
“ON” or “ACC” position can cause the
battery to go dead.

If the ignition switch will not move

from the “LOCK” position to the “ACC”
position, turn the steering wheel
slightly to the left and right as you turn
the ignition switch.
