closed while driving. y Help prevent young children from locking
themselves in the trunk. When leaving the vehi-
cle, either close all windows and lock all doors
or cancel the inside trunk lid release. Also make
certain that the trunk is closed. On hot or sunny
days, the temperature in the trunk could quickly
become high enough to cause death or serious
heat-related injuries including brain damage,
particularly for small children.

To cancel the trunk lid release
The inside trunk lid release can be cancelled to help
prevent unauthorized entry into the trunk. To cancel
the trunk lid release, set the lid release cancel lever
(located on the inside of the trunk lid, mounted to the
trunk lid latch) to the “CANCEL” position. When this
lock is in the “CANCEL” position, the trunk can be
opened only with the key. „ Internal trunk lid release handle
The internal trunk lid release handle is a device de-
signed to open the trunk lid from inside the trunk. In the
event children or adults become locked inside the trunk, the handle allows them to open the lid. The han-
dle is located on the inside of the trunk lid.
To open the trunk lid from inside the trunk, press the
yellow handle downward as indicated by the arrow on the handle. This operation unlocks the trunk lid. Then,
push up the lid.
The handle is made of material that remains lumines-
cent for approximately an hour in the dark trunk space
after it is exposed to ambient light even for a shorttime.
Never allow any child to get in the trunk and

play with the release handle. If the driver starts
the vehicle without knowing that a child is in-
side the trunk and the child opens the lid using
the release handle, the child could fall out and
be killed or seriously injured.
yDo not close the lid while gripping the release
handle. The handle may be damaged. y Do not use the handle as a hook to fasten
straps or ropes to secure your cargo in the
trunk. Such use may result in damage of the
handle. y Load the trunk so that cargo can not strike
the release handle. If the cargo hits the handle
while the vehicle is being driven, the handle
may be pushed down and the trunk lid may
open. That may cause cargo to fall out of the
trunk, which could create a traffic safety haz-
ard.
T Inspection
Perform the following steps at least twice a year to
check the release handle for correct operation. 1. Open the trunk lid.
2. Use a screwdriver with a thin blade. Slide the
screwdriver blade from the slit aperture of the lock as-
sembly fully to the end until you hear a click.

This places the latch in the locked position.
3. Move the release handle, from outside the vehicle,
in the direction of the arrow to check if the latch is re-
leased.
If the latch is not released, contact your SUBARU
dealer.
In that case, use the key to release the latch, then
close the trunk lid.
Also, if the movements of the release handle feel re-
stricted or not entirely smooth during operation, or the
handle and/or handle base is cracked, contact your SUBARU dealer.

the rear gate by pulling on the recessed grip
from inside the cargo space. There is a danger
of your hand being caught and injured.
Do not jam a plastic bag in or place cellophane
tape on the rear gate stays or scratch the stays
while loading or unloading cargo. That could
cause leakage of gas from the stays, which may
result in their inability to hold the rear gate
open.
Moonroof (if equipped)
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 in-
volved in an accident.
To avoid serious personal injury caused by en-
trapment, you must do the followings. y
Before closing the moonroof, make sure that
no one’s hands, arms, head or other objects
will be accidentally caught in the moonroof. y Before leaving the vehicle, always 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 result in injury to a child operating the
moonroof.
y Do not sit on the edge of the open moonroof.
y Do not operate the moonroof if falling snow

If the moonroof cannot be closed through the
switch operation because of system failure, it can
be closed manually using a hex-headed wrench.
