Trunk lid (Sedan)
" To prevent dangerous exhaust gas from en-
tering the vehicle, always keep the trunk lid
closed while driving. " Help prevent young children from locking
themselves in the trunk. When leaving the vehi-
cle, either close all windows and lock all doors
or cancel the inside trunk lid release. Also make
certain that the trunk is closed. On hot or sunny
days, the temperature in the trunk could quickly
become high enough to cause death or serious
heat-related injuries including brain damage,
particularly for small children.
! To open and close the trunk lid from
outside
The trunk lid can be opened using the remote keyless entry system. Refer to “Remote keyless entry system
(if equipped)” section in this chapter.
To close the trunk lid, lightly press the trunk lid down
until the latch engages.

!Internal trunk lid release handle
The internal trunk lid release handle is a device de-
signed to open the trunk lid from inside the trunk. In the
event children or adults become locked inside the
trunk, the handle allows them to open the lid. The han-
dle is located on the inside of the trunk lid.
To open the trunk lid from inside the trunk, press the
yellow handle downward as indicated by the arrow on the handle. This operation unlocks the trunk lid. Then,
push up the lid.
The handle is made of material that remains lumines-
cent for approximately an hour in the dark trunk space
after it is exposed to ambient light even for a short time.
Never allow any child to get in the trunk and
play with the release handle. If the driver starts
the vehicle without knowing that a child is in-
side the trunk and the child opens the lid using
the release handle, the child could fall out and
be killed or seriously injured.
" Do not close the lid while gripping the release
handle. The handle may be damaged. " Do not use the handle as a hook to fasten
straps or ropes to secure your cargo in the
trunk. Such use may result in damage of the
handle." Load the trunk so that cargo can not strike
the release handle. If the cargo hits the handle
while the vehicle is being driven, the handle
may be pushed down and the trunk lid may
open. That may cause cargo to fall out of the
trunk, which could create a traffic safety haz-
ard.

Inspection
Perform the following steps at least twice a year to
check the release handle for correct operation.
1. Open the trunk lid.
2. Use a screwdriver with a thin blade. Slide the
screwdriver blade from the slit aperture of the lock as-
sembly fully to the end until you hear a click. This places the latch in the locked position.

3. Move the release handle, from outside the vehicle,
in the direction of the arrow to check if the latch is re-
leased.
If the latch is not released, contact your SUBARU
dealer.
In that case, use the key to release the latch, then
close the trunk lid.
Also, if the movement of the release handle feel re-
stricted or not entirely smooth during operation, or the
handle and/or handle base is cracked, contact your
SUBARU dealer.Rear gate (Station wagon)
The rear gate can be locked and unlocked using either
the keyless entry system or the power door locking switch.

mote keyless entry system (if equipped)” sections in

To close the rear gate, lower it slowly and push down
firmly until the latch engages.
The rear gate can be lowered easily if you pull it down
holding the recessed grip.
"
To prevent dangerous exhaust gas from en-
tering the vehicle, always keep the rear gate
closed while driving. " Do not attempt to shut the rear gate while
holding the recessed grip. Also avoid closing
the rear gate by pulling on the recessed grip
from inside the cargo space. There is a danger
of your hand being caught and injured.
" Do not jam a plastic bag in or place cello-
phane tape on the rear gate stays or scratch the
stays while loading or unloading cargo. That
could cause leakage of gas from the stays,
which may result in their inability to hold the
rear gate open. " Be careful not to hit your head or face on the
rear gate when opening or closing the rear gate
and when loading or unloading cargo.
NOTE
Should the rear gate be unable to be unlocked due
to discharged battery, a fault in the door locking/
unlocking system or other causes, you can unlock
it by manually operating the rear gate lock releaselever.
For the procedure, refer to “Rear gate – if the rear
gate cannot be unlocked” in chapter 9.

Moonroof (if equipped)
"Never let anyone’s hands, arms, head or any
objects protrude from the moonroof. He/she
could be seriously injured if the vehicle stops
suddenly or turns sharply or if the vehicle is in-
volved in an accident.
To avoid serious personal injury caused by en-
trapment, you must do the following: " Before closing the moonroof, make sure that
no one’s hands, arms, head or other objects
will be accidentally caught in the moonroof. " Before leaving the vehicle, always remove
the key from the ignition switch for safety and
never allow an unattended child to remain in
the vehicle. Failure to follow this procedure
could result in injury to a child operating the
moonroof. " Never try to check the anti-entrapment func-
tion by deliberately placing part of your body in
the moonroof.
" Do not sit on the edge of the open moonroof.
" Do not operate the moonroof if falling snow
or extremely cold conditions have caused it to
freeze shut." The anti-entrapment function does not oper-
ate when the moonroof is being tilted down. Be
sure to confirm that it is safe to do so before tilt-
ing the moonroof down.
The moonroof has both tilting and sliding functions.
The moonroofs operate only when the ignition switch
is in the “ON” position.

To stop the moonroof at a selected mid-way position
while opening or closing it, momentarily push the
switch to the “OPEN” or “CLOSE” side.
After washing the vehicle or after it rains, wipe away
water on the roof prior to opening the moonroof to pre-
vent water drops from falling into the passenger com-
partment. !Anti-entrapment function
When the moonroof senses an object trapped be-
tween its glass and the vehicle’s roof during closure, it
automatically moves back to either of the following po-
sitions according to the point at which it senses the ob-ject: " When the moonroof senses the object at a point be-
tween the halfway stop position and fully closed posi-
tion, it moves back to the halfway stop position and
stops there. " When the moonroof senses the object at a point be-
tween the halfway stop position and fully open posi-
tion, it moves back to the fully open position and stops there.
The anti-entrapment function may also be activated by
a strong shock on the moonroof even when there is
nothing trapped.NOTE " For the sake of safety, it is recommended that
you avoid driving with the moonroof fully opened. " One-touch operation does not take place when
the moonroof is tilted up and down. Push the
switch continuously to tilt the moonroof up and
down. " If the moonroof cannot be closed through the
switch operation because of system failure, it can
be closed manually using a hex-head wrench. For
the procedure, refer to “Moonroof – if the moon-
roof cannot be closed” in Chapter 9. ! Sun shades
