! 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 audible signal can be turned off by a SUBARU dealer . Consult your SUBARU dealer for details .
For models with “ keyless access with push-button start system ”, you can also turn the audible signal off by operating the center information display . For details , refer to “ Car settings ” FP232 .
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 ” FP163 or “ Rear gate drop prevention function ” FP163 , it cannot be set as nonoperational .
