The door cannot be locked if the access key is left inside the vehi-
cle.
The key may not be detected correctly and the door may be locked.
■Window open/close function linked to door operation
In order to make opening and closing the doors easier, completely closed
windows are linked to door operations. Therefore, when a door is opened, its
window opens slightly. When a door is closed, its window closes completely.
However, if the battery has discharged or is disconnected, this function will
not operate. (oP. 406)
■If the keyless access with push button start system has been deacti-
vated in a customized setting (vehicles with a keyless access with
push button start system)
Use the remote keyless entry system or mechanical key. (oP. 37, 398)

WARNING
■Using the trunk
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in seri-
ous injury.
●Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the trunk lid before
opening it. Failure to do so may cause the trunk lid to fall closed again
after it is opened.
●When opening or closing the trunk lid, thoroughly check to make sure the
surrounding area is safe.
●If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that
the trunk lid is about to open or close.
●Use caution when opening or closing the trunk lid in windy weather as it
may move abruptly in strong wind.
●Do not attach any accessories other than genuine parts to the trunk lid.
Such additional weight on the trunk lid may cause the lid to fall closed
again after it is opened.
●The trunk lid may fall if it is not
opened fully. It is more difficult to
open or close the trunk lid on an
incline than on a level surface, so
beware of the trunk lid unexpectedly
opening or closing by itself. Make
sure that the trunk lid is fully open
and secure before using the trunk.
●When closing the trunk lid, take extra
care to prevent your fingers etc. from
being caught.
●When closing the trunk lid, make sure
to press it lightly on its outer surface.

locked in position by lightly pushing it
back and forth.

WARNING
■People with a medical condition
Obtain medical advice and wear the seatbelt in the proper way.
■When children are in the vehicle
Do not allow children to play with the seatbelt. If the seatbelt becomes
twisted around a child’s neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries
that could result in death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used
to cut the belt.
■Seatbelt pretensioners
If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS airbag system warning light will
come on. In that case, the seatbelt cannot be used again and must be
replaced at your SUBARU dealer.
