Passenger SUBARU FORESTER 2022 Getting Started Guide

REAR SEAT REMINDER
The Rear Seat Reminder system assists you in
preventing a child or pet from being left in your
Subaru, prompting you to confirm the
presence of passengers and cargo in the rear
seats. The system monitors the opening and
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).
Passenger Occupant Detection and Seatbelt Reminders
To help keep your passengers
safe, your Subaru has a
passenger occupant detection
and seatbelt reminder system for
each seat, including the rear
seats.
If passengers in the rear seats do
not fasten their seatbelts while the
ignition is in the "ON" position,
the seatbelt warning lights
illuminate or blink for the specific
seat, and a warning chime may
sound.
For more information, please refer to “Instruments and Controls” in your Owner’s
Manual.

CARGO AREA AND COVER(if equipped)
The cargo area is equipped with several
tie-down hooks to secure your cargo with a
cargo net or ropes and also has convenient
hooks attached to the rear gate trim and upper
lining of the cargo area to hang lightweight
objects when the vehicle is stopped.
If equipped, use the detachable cargo cover to
protect contents in the cargo area from direct
sunlight. Pull the cover toward the rear of your
Subaru and insert both ends of the cover into
the catches. Store the cover under the floor of
the cargo area when not in use. Instructions
for operation are included on the cargo cover
housing.

in the tool bucket in the center of the spare
tire, located under the cargo area floor.
Your vehicle is equipped with the following
maintenance tools:
• Jack
• Jack handle
• Screwdriver
• Towing hook (eye bolt)

VOICE RECOGNITION
With SUBARU STARLINK®, simple voice commands can control
features like navigation, entertainment, phone calls, and, on select
models, climate control. A microphone is located in the overhead
console; however, you do not need to speak directly into it to
activate the voice command features. Press the Voice Recognition
button on the steering wheel to start the voice recognition system.
Press and hold the button to cancel the system.
For help with what features are available with voice recognition,
press the "Help" button on the screen or press the voice recognition
button and say "Help".
Tips
The system may not recognize the voice command due to various
types of interference. Some causes for voice command interference
are:
• The command is spoken too quickly or at a low or high volume.
• The command is incorrect or unclear.
• The window is open, the climate control system is set on high, or the ventilation is directed toward the microphone.
• Passengers are talking while the command is spoken.
NOTE: The system is designed to recognize a variety of commands, but certain words,
accents or speech patterns may be difficult for the system to recognize.
