2-9. Trunk Lid (Legacy)

WARNING

To prevent dangerous exhaust

gas from entering the vehicle,
always keep the trunk lid closed
while the engine is running.

Check that the trunk is comple-

tely closed before driving. If it is
not, it may suddenly open, which
could lead to an accident.

Help prevent children, adults or

animals from locking themselves
in the trunk. On hot or sunny
days, the temperature in the trunk
could quickly become high en-
ough to cause death or serious
heat-related injuries including
brain damage to anyone locked
inside, particularly for small chil-
dren.

When leaving the vehicle, close

all windows and lock all doors.
Also make certain that the trunk
is closed.

CAUTION

Be extremely careful not to catch

fingers or other objects when
closing the trunk lid.

Before opening and closing the

trunk, carefully check your sur-
roundings to make sure it will not
strike any people or objects.

When loading and unloading car-

go, be careful not to come in
contact with the hot engine ex-
haust gas or the exhaust pipe,
because they could burn you.

Be careful when opening the

trunk in a strong wind. The trunk
lid could open or close suddenly
and cause injuries.

Make sure that the trunk is com-

pletely open when using it. If it is
not, the trunk lid may suddenly
drop and cause serious injury.

Remove snow and ice from the

trunk lid before opening it. Not
doing so could cause the trunk
lid to fall after it is opened.

Do not push the trunk lid forcibly

to close it. It could deform the
metal.

Under the following conditions,

the trunk lid may close unexpect-
edly, striking people or objects in
its path:

– Parking on a slope, with the

rear of the vehicle lower than
its front. In this case, make
sure the trunk lid is fully open
and secure before loading or
unloading cargo.

– Installing parts or accessories

that place excess weight on
the trunk lid. Install only gen-
uine SUBARU parts and ac-
cessories.

– Loading baggage or other

heavy items by throwing or
otherwise forcefully loading
them into the trunk. Always
load cargo with care.

To Open and Close the Trunk
Lid from Outside

The trunk lid can be opened using the
keyless access function or remote keyless
entry system. For details, refer to the
following section.

For models with “keyless access with

push-button start system”, refer to “Open-
ing trunk (Legacy)”

P124, or “Opening

the Trunk Lid (Legacy)”

P136.

for more than 1 second.

Internal Trunk Lid Release
Handle

The internal trunk lid release handle is a
device designed 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
handle is located on the inside of the trunk
lid.

To open the trunk lid from inside the trunk,
pull the yellow handle 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 luminescent for approximately
an hour in the dark trunk space after it is
exposed to ambient light even for a short
time.

WARNING

Never allow any child to get in the
trunk and play with the release
handle. If the driver starts the vehi-
cle without knowing that a child is
inside the trunk and the child opens
the lid using the release handle, the
child could fall out and be killed or
seriously injured.

CAUTION

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

cannot strike the release handle.
If the cargo hits the handle while
the vehicle is being driven, the
handle may be pulled and the
trunk lid may open. That may
cause cargo to fall out of the
trunk, which could create a traffic
safety hazard.

Inspection

Perform the following steps at least twice a
year to check the release handle for
correct operation.
1. Open the trunk lid.

2. To lock it, press the latch with the
screwdriver shaft until it clicks.

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 released.

Power Rear Gate (If
Equipped)

WARNING

When operating the power rear

gate, observe the following pre-
cautions. Ignoring the precau-

tions may result in an injury (e.g.,
anyone’s body is hit against the
rear gate or is caught in the rear
gate, etc.)

– Make sure there are no people

around the rear gate.

– Never let anyone get close to

the rear gate.

When closing the rear gate, be

extremely careful to prevent any-
one’s fingers, arms, neck, head
or other objects from being
caught in the rear gate. Other-
wise, serious personal injury may
be caused by entrapment.

After opening the rear gate on a

slope by using the power rear
gate feature, the rear gate may
close. Make sure that the rear
gate has stopped completely
after opening it.

When leaving the vehicle, always

carry the key for safety and never
allow an unattended child to
remain in the vehicle. Failure to
follow this procedure could re-
sult in injury to a child operating
the power rear gate.

The driver should be aware of and

pay careful attention to his/her
responsibilities.

Rear Gate (Outback/Subaru Outback Wilderness)

154

(157,1)

Use the power rear gate only

when the area around the rear
gate is clearly visible and when
you have checked that there is no
danger of people being caught in
the gate.

CAUTION

When closing the rear gate after

opening it, make sure to use the
power rear gate. If you close the
rear gate manually with extra
force, the power rear gate may
be damaged.

Do not install any accessories

other than genuine SUBARU
parts on the rear gate. If the
weight of rear gate increases
excessively, the rear gate stay
cannot support the rear gate
sufficiently when opening the
rear gate. Also, the power rear
gate may not function properly or
may malfunction.

The power rear gate operates only when
all of the following conditions are satisfied.

The vehicle is stopped completely.

The outside temperature is within a

range from −22

F to 140

F (from −30

C to

C).

The ignition switch is in the “OFF” or

“ACC” position. Or, the ignition switch is in
the “ON” position and the select lever is in
the “P” position.

We recommend using the power rear gate
function in most circumstances instead of
manual operation.

NOTE

The rear gate may not move

smoothly when the battery power be-
comes low.

Do not press the power rear gate

button repeatedly while the power rear
gate is operating. Otherwise, the sys-
tem may ignore the button operation in
order to avoid being damaged.

If the vehicle starts to move while the

power rear gate is operating, the sys-
tem sounds a buzzer and closes the
rear gate automatically. At this time, if
the system detects jamming, it will
deactivate the power rear gate and the
rear gate will not be closed. If this
occurs, close the rear gate manually.
For details, refer to “Manual Rear Gate”

P153.

If you try to open the rear gate using

the power rear gate function immedi-
ately after closing the rear gate using
the power rear gate function, an elec-

tronic chirp will sound and the rear gate
will not open. Wait for a while before
trying to open the rear gate via the
power rear gate function.

If either of the operating conditions

has not been satisfied while operating
the power rear gate, an electronic chirp
will sound and the power rear gate will
be deactivated. In this case, the rear
gate may stop opening or closing
suddenly.

Operation

NOTE

The rear gate will remain unlocked

even after closing it. Always lock the
rear gate when leaving the vehicle.

If you cannot open/close the rear

gate by performing the operation de-
scribed here, a short electronic chirp

Do not operate the moonroof if

falling snow or extremely cold
conditions have caused it to
freeze shut.

The anti-entrapment function

does not operate when the moon-
roof is being tilted down. Be sure
to confirm that it is safe to do so
before tilting the moonroof down.

If the moonroof does not close,

have the system checked by a
SUBARU dealer.

The moonroof has both tilting and sliding
functions.

The moonroof operates only when the
ignition switch is in the “ON” position.
