REAR GATE DROP PREVEN- TION FUNCTION s02au08
If, while fully opened via the power rear gate function, the rear gate is lowered by the weight of snow and such, an electronic chirp will sound and the rear gate drop prevention function will apply braking to the rear gate so that it prevents a rapid closure of the rear gate.
NOTE
. If there is snow on the rear gate, only use the power rear gate function after removing the snow.
. If you close the rear gate manually just after the rear gate is fully opened using the power rear gate function, the rear gate drop prevention function will detect a rapid closure of the rear gate and apply braking to the rear gate. In this case, this is not a malfunction.
SELECTING AUDIBLE SIGNAL OPERATION s02au09
Using an electronic chirp, the power rear gate will give you an audible signal before starting its operation. If desired, the audible signal can be turned off by a SUBARU dealer. Consult your SUBARU dealer for details.
You can also turn the audible signal off by operating the center information display. For details, refer to“ Settings icon( Car settings)” FP231.
The ON / OFF setting of the audible signal also works as the audible signal settings for the“ remote keyless entry system” and the“ keyless access with push-button start system”. However, for the electronic chirp such as that caused by“ Reverse Function” FP157 or“ Rear Gate Drop Prevention Function” FP158, it cannot be set as non-operational.
