WARNING
- When operating the power rear
gate, observe the following precautions.
Ignoring the precautions
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 anyone's
fingers, arms, neck, head
or other objects from being
caught in the rear gate. Otherwise,
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 result
in injury to a child operating
the power rear gate.
- The driver should be aware of
and pay careful attention to his/
her responsibilities.
- 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.
- Do not touch the driving rod.
Doing so may result in injury or
damage.

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 −228F to 1408F (from −308C to
608C).
- The ignition switch is in the "LOCK"/
"OFF" or "ACC" position. Or, the ignition
switch is in the "ON" position and the
parking brake is applied (MT models)/the
select lever is in the "P" position (CVT
models).
We recommend using the power rear gate
function in most circumstances instead of
manual operation.
NOTE
- Do not press the power rear gate
button repeatedly while the power rear
gate is operating. Otherwise, the system
may ignore the button operation in
order to avoid being damaged.
- It is not possible to stop the rear
gate temporarily while opening between
the completely closed position
and approximately 2 in (5 cm) open. If
you press one of the power rear gate
buttons briefly during this range, the
rear gate will be closed.
- If the vehicle starts to move while
the power rear gate is operating, the
system 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"
.
- If you try to open the rear gate using
the power rear gate function immediately
after closing the rear gate using
the power rear gate function, an electronic
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.
