Safety/In Case of Emergency
Child Restraint System
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 vehicle. Children age 12 and under must properly occupy the rear seat at all times.
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.

In the event that children or
adults become locked inside
the trunk, this luminescent

the lid from inside the trunk.
To open, simply pull the

A jack handle is stored under the floor
of the trunk (4-door) or the cargo area
(5-door). A jack and a towing hook are
stored in the tool bucket in the center
of the spare tire. Also, a tool bag that

way to properly transport your AWD

best done by your Subaru Retailer
or a commercial towing service.
