hazard warning flashers flash three times.
The electronic chirp and the flashing
hazard warning flashers confirm the se-
lected rear gate height has been regis-
tered.

NOTE

To change the registered height,

press the memory switch to select the
“OFF” status and perform the register-
ing procedure again.
.

It is possible to register the height

from approximately 2 in (5 cm) or more
from the completely closed position.

Retrieval of the rear gate height:
To open the rear gate and stop it at the
registered height, perform the following
procedure.
1. Press the memory switch to select the
ON status.
2. Press and hold any of the power rear
gate switches.

Even if any of the power rear gate switches
are pressed and held while the memory
switch is in the OFF status, you can stop it
at the registered height by pressing the
memory switch to select the ON status
before the rear gate reaches the registered
height.

NOTE

The rear gate will open to the position
that is stored in the memory function
even if the rear gate is opened by the
reverse function.

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 sensor

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 prevention function

If, while fully opened via the power rear
gate function, the rear gate is lowered by
the weight of snow and such, an electronic
chirp will sound and 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 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 “Keyless Entry System” F3-47.

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”
F2-46 or “Rear gate drop prevention
function” F2-47, it cannot be set as non-
operational.

Moonroof (if equipped)

WARNING

Never let anyone’s hands, arms,
head or any objects protrude from
the moonroof. A person could be
seriously injured if the vehicle stops
suddenly or turns sharply or if the
vehicle is involved in an accident.

To avoid serious personal injury
caused by entrapment, you must
conform to the following instruc-
tions without exception.

Before closing the moonroof,

make sure that no one’s hands,
arms, head or other objects will
be accidentally caught in the
moonroof.

Before leaving the vehicle, al-

ways remove the key from the
ignition switch for safety (models
without “keyless access with
push-button start system”) and
never allow an unattended child
to remain in the vehicle. Failure to
follow this procedure could re-
sult in injury to a child operating
the moonroof.

Never try to check the anti-en-

trapment function by deliberately
placing part of your body in the
moonroof.

CAUTION

Do not sit on the edge of the open

moonroof.

Do not operate the moonroof if

falling snow or extremely cold
conditions have caused it to
freeze shut.

The anti-entrapment function

does not operate when the moon-
roof is being tilted down. Be sure
to confirm that it is safe to do so
before tilting the moonroof down.

If the moonroof does not close,

we recommend that you have the
system checked by a SUBARU
dealer.

The moonroof has both tilting and sliding
functions.

The moonroof operates only when the
ignition switch is in the “ON” position.

NOTE

For the sake of safety, it is recom-
mended that you avoid driving with the
moonroof fully opened.

Anti-entrapment function

When the moonroof senses a substantial
enough object trapped between its glass
and the vehicle’s roof during closure, it
automatically moves back to the fully open
position and stops there. The anti-entrap-
ment function may also be activated by a
strong shock on the moonroof even when
there is nothing trapped.

CAUTION

Never attempt to test this function
using fingers, hands or other parts
of your body.

Sun shade

The sun shade can be slid forward or
backward by hand while the moonroof is
closed.
If the moonroof is opened, the sun shade
also moves back.

Ignition switch (models with-
out push-button start system)

WARNING

Never turn the ignition switch to

“LOCK” while the vehicle is being
driven or towed because that will
lock the steering wheel, prevent-
ing 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
keyholder 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.

LOCK

The key can only be inserted or removed in
this position. The ignition switch will lock
the steering wheel when you remove the
key.
If turning the key is difficult, turn the
steering wheel slightly to the right and left
as you turn the key.

The key can be turned from “ACC” to
“LOCK” only when the key is pushed in
while turning it (all models) and the select
lever is in the “P” position.

is reduced below the red zone.

Fuel gauge

The fuel gauge shows the approximate
amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
When the ignition switch is in the “LOCK”/
“OFF” or “ACC” position, the fuel gauge
shows “E” even if the fuel tank contains
fuel.

The gauge may move slightly due to fuel
level movement in the tank (e.g., during
braking, turning or acceleration).
If you press the trip reset switch while the
ignition switch is in the “LOCK”/“OFF” or

“ACC” position, the fuel gauge’s dial will
light up and the needle will indicate the
amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
If, while the fuel gauge needle is indicating
the amount of fuel remaining in the tank,
you (a) do not press the trip reset switch for
10 seconds or (b) open and close the
driver’s door, the fuel gauge needle will
drop to the “E” position and the dial and
needle will turn off.

NOTE

You will see the “

” sign in the fuel

gauge.
This indicates that the fuel filler door
(lid) is located on the right side of the
vehicle.

Temperature gauge

Normal operating range

The temperature gauge shows engine
coolant temperature when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position.

The coolant temperature will vary in
accordance with the outside temperature
and driving conditions.

We recommend that you drive moderately
until the pointer of the temperature gauge
reaches near the middle of the range.
Engine operation is optimum with the
engine coolant at this temperature range
and high revving operation when the
engine is not warmed up enough should
be avoided.
