Keys and doors

2-25

If the latch is not released, contact your
SUBARU dealer.
In that case, use the key to release the
latch, then close the trunk lid.
Also, if the movement of the release
handle feels restricted or not entirely
smooth during operation, or the handle
and/or handle base is cracked, contact
your SUBARU dealer.

! Inspection
Perform the following steps at least twice
a year to check the release handle for
correct operation.
1. Open the trunk lid.

This places the latch in the locked position.

2. Use a flat-head screwdriver with a thin
blade. Slide the screwdriver blade from
the slit aperture of the lock assembly to
the end until you hear a click.

3. Move the release handle, from outside
the vehicle, in the direction of the arrow to
check if the latch is released.
