Keys and doors/Rear gate (Outback)
! Rear gate drop prevention function
S02AJ0104
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
1)
Touch sensor
Touch sensors are attached on the left and
right edges of the rear gate. If the touch
sensors detect fingers, baggage, etc.
while closing by the power rear gate
function, an electronic chirp will sounds 3
times and the rear gate will open auto-
matically.
NOTE
When the rear gate is opened using the
reverse function, it will be opened fully
or to the height registered in the
memory function.
. 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
S02AJ0109
Using an electronic chirp, the power rear
gate will give you an audible signal before
starting its operation. If desired, the audi-
ble signal can be turned off by a SUBARU
dealer. Consult your SUBARU dealer for
details.
For models
push-button
the audible
combination
with “keyless access with
start system”, you can turn
signal off by operating the
meter display. For details,
2-47
refer to “Keyless Entry System” F3-47.
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 warning chime
such as that caused by “Reverse function”
F2-46 or “Rear gate drop prevention
function” F2-47, it cannot be set as non-
operational.
