gate by operating the rear gate opener
button, you can open it from inside the
cargo area.

buttons facing you, and touch the push-
button ignition switch with it.
When the communication between the
access key fob and the vehicle is com-
pleted, a chime (ding) will sound. At the
same time, the push-button ignition switch
turns to the “ACC” or “ON” position.

turns to the “ACC” or “ON” position, while
depressing the brake pedal (all models)
and the clutch pedal (MT models), press
the push-button ignition switch.
NOTE
If the engine does not start even though
the above procedure was followed
precisely, contact your SUBARU dealer.
1. Remove the access cover at the

Never operate the rear gate open
lever with fingers because doing so
may cause an injury. Always use a
flat-head screwdriver or a similar
tool.
3. To open the rear gate, turn the lever to
the right position using a flat-head screw-
driver or a similar tool.
