General information
&California proposition 65
warning
WARNING
Engine exhaust, some of its consti-
tuents, and certain vehicle compo-
nents contain or emit chemicals
known to the State of California to
cause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm. In addi-
tion, certain fluids in vehicles and
certain components of product wear
contain or emit chemicals known to
the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
&California Perchlorate Advi-
sory
Certain vehicle components such as air-
bag modules, seatbelt pretensioners and
keyless entry transmitter batteries may
contain perchlorate material. Special
handling may apply for service or vehicle
end of life disposal. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/
hazardouswaste/perchlorate.
&Noise from under the vehicle
NOTE
You may hear a noise from under the
vehicle approximately 5 to 10 hours
after the engine is turned off. However,
this does not indicate a malfunction.
This noise is caused by the operation
of the fuel evaporation leakage check-
ing system and the operation is normal.
The noise will stop after approximately
15 minutes.
&Event data recorder
This vehicle is equipped with an event
data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of
an EDR is to record, in certain crash or
near crash-like situations, such as an air
bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle,
data that will assist in understanding how
a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR
is designed to record data related to
vehicle dynamics and safety systems for
a short period of time, typically 30 seconds
or less. The EDR in this vehicle is
designed to record such data as:
.How various systems in your vehicle
were operating;
.Whether or not the driver and passen-
ger safety belts were buckled/fastened;
.How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/or brakepedal; and,
.How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE:
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle
only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs;
no data are recorded by the EDR under
normal driving conditions and no personal
data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash
location) are recorded. However, other
parties, such as law enforcement, could
combine the EDR data with the type of
personally identifying data routinely ac-
quired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition
to the vehicle manufacturer, other parties,
such as law enforcement, that have the
special equipment, can read the informa-
tion if they have access to the vehicle or
the EDR.

Keys and doors/Rear gate (Outback)
gate has stopped completely
after opening it.
.Before leaving the vehicle, al-
ways remove the key from the
ignition switch for safety (models
without“keyless access with
push-button start system”) and
never allow an unattended child
to remain in the vehicle. Failure
to follow this procedure could
result in injury to a child operat-
ing the power rear gate.
.The driver should be aware of
and pay careful attention to his/
her responsibilities.
.The power rear gate button
should only be used to open
and close the rear gate when
the area around the rear gate is
clearly visible and when you
have checked that there is no
danger of people being caught in
the gate.
CAUTION
.When closing the rear gate after
opening it, make sure to use the
power rear gate. If you close the
rear gate manually with extra
force, the power rear gate maybe damaged.
.Do not install any accessories
other than genuine SUBARU
parts on the rear gate. If the
weight of rear gate increases
excessively, the rear gate stay
cannot support the rear gate
sufficiently when opening the
rear gate. Also, the power rear
gate may not function properly or
may malfunction.
.Do not touch the driving rod
while the power rear gate oper-
ates or stops. Doing so may
result in injury or damage.
The power rear gate operates only when
all of the following conditions are satisfied.
.The vehicle is stopped completely.
.The outside temperature is within a
range from−228F to 1408F (from−308Cto
608C).
.The ignition switch is in the“LOCK”/
“OFF”or“ACC”position. Or, the ignition
switch is in the“ON”position and the
parking brake is applied (MT models)/the
select lever is in the“P”position (CVT
models).
We recommend using the power rear gate
function in most circumstances instead of
manual operation.
NOTE
.If the power rear gate button is
pressed repeatedly while the power
rear gate is operating, the system may
ignore the button operation in order to
avoid being damaged. Do not press the
button unnecessarily.
.It is not possible to stop the rear
gate temporarily while opening be-
tween the completely closed position
and approximately 12 in (30 cm) open.
If you press one of the power rear gate
buttons briefly during this range, the
rear gate will be closed.
.If the vehicle starts to move while
the power rear gate is operating, the
system sounds a buzzer and closes the
rear gate automatically. At this time, if
the system detects jamming, it will
deactivate the power rear gate and the
rear gate will not be closed. If this
occurs, close the rear gate manually.
.If you try to open the rear gate using
the power rear gate function immedi-
ately after closing the rear gate using
the power rear gate function, an elec-
tronic chirp will sound and the rear
gate will not open. Wait for a while
before trying to open the rear gate via
the power rear gate function.
