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.

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

ceased. Be careful that the rear

gate does not hit anyone’s head or

face, etc. and that fingers and

baggage, etc. are not caught in it.

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.

REAR GATE DROP PREVEN-

TION FUNCTION

s02au08

If, while fully opened via the power rear

gate function, the rear gate is lowered, the

rear gate drop prevention function will

apply braking to the rear gate so that it

prevents a rapid closure of the rear gate.

NOTE

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

s02au09

Using an electronic chirp, the power rear

gate will give you an audible signal before

audible signal can be turned off by a

SUBARU dealer. Consult your SUBARU

dealer for details.

You can also turn the audible signal off by

operating the center information display.

For details, refer to “Vehicle” �P206.

The ON/OFF setting of the audible signal

also works as the audible signal settings

start system”. However, for the electronic

chirp such as that caused by “Reverse

Function” �P147, it cannot be set as non-

operational.
