Safety/In Case of Emergency
Child Restraint System
For maximum safety, first carefully read the LATCH system instructions from the device 
manufacturer, as well as the installation instructions in your Owner’s Manual, to properly install 
the LATCH compatible restraint system. Use the appropriate seatbelts or anchorages provided 
in your vehicle. Children age 12 and under must properly occupy the rear seat at all times.
Child Safety Locks
The child safety locks are 
located on the inside edges 
of the rear doors. In the 
locked position, the rear 
doors can only be opened 
from the outside.
Internal Safety Trunk Release  
with Self-Illuminating Handle 
(4-Door only)
In the event that children or 
adults become locked inside 
the trunk, this luminescent 
handle allows them to open 
the lid from inside the trunk. 
To open, simply pull the 
yellow handle downward as 
indicated by the arrow on the 
handle, and then push up on the lid.

Location of  
Spare Tire and Jack
A jack handle is stored under the floor 
of the trunk (4-door) or the cargo area 
(5-door). A jack and a towing hook are 
stored in the tool bucket in the center 
of the spare tire. Also, a tool bag that 
contains a wheel nut wrench and  
a screwdriver is equipped with  
the vehicle. 
Emergency Towing Your 
All-Wheel Drive Vehicle
Since Subaru Symmetrical All-Wheel 
Drive distributes engine power to 
all four wheels, improper towing will 
severely damage your AWD system. A 
flatbed truck is the only recommended 
way to properly transport your AWD 
vehicle. If towing is necessary, it is  
best done by your Subaru Retailer  
or a commercial towing service.
