FOLDING THE REAR SEATS
First, lower the headrests. Then, pull up on the
release knob until you can see the red marker
at the bottom of the knob and fold down the
seats.
To return the seatback to its original position,
raise the seatback until it locks into place. You
will no longer be able to see the red marker at
the bottom of the knob when the seat is
locked.
If equipped, release latches are located on
either side of the cargo area. Pull the release
latch on the seat side that you want to fold
down.
CHILD SAFETY LOCKS
The child safety locks are located on the
inside edges of the rear doors. In the locked
position, the rear doors can only be opened
from the outside.

LATCH/ANCHOR
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
age 12 and under must properly occupy the
rear seat at all times.
For more information, please refer to
“Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags” in your
Owner’s Manual.

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.
