Your Subaru is equipped with Lower Anchors
and Tethers for Children (LATCH). For
maximum safety, first carefully read the
LATCH system instructions from the device
manufacturer, as well as the installation
instructions in your Owner’s Manual, to
properly install the LATCH compatible restraint
system. Use the appropriate seatbelts or
anchorages provided in your Subaru. Children

closing of the rear doors. It does not physically
sense the presence of a child or pet.
The system activates when the rear doors are
opened and closed. When the ignition switch
is turned from the “ON” position to the “OFF”
position, the system warns you with audible
beeps and with a “Reminder, Look in Rear
Seat” message in the Combination Meter
Display (CMD).
You can turn the Rear Seat Reminder off in the Combination Meter Display (CMD).
