WARNING
Keep all doors locked when you
drive, especially when small chil-
dren are in your vehicle.
Along with the proper use of seat-
belts and child restraints, locking
the doors reduces the chance of
being thrown out of the vehicle in an
accident.
It also helps prevent passengers
from falling out by preventing a door
from being accidentally opened, and
intruders from unexpectedly open-
ing doors and entering your vehicle.&Battery drainage prevention
functionIf a door is not completely closed, the
interior lights will remain illuminated as a
result. However, several lights will be
automatically turned off by the battery
drainage prevention function to prevent
the battery from discharging. The following
interior lights will be affected by this
function.
ItemSwitch
positionAutomatically turning

*: The battery drainage prevention function
affects only the map lights on models with the
moonroof, and only when the map light switches
are in the OFF position. The map lights on
models without the moonroof do not turn off
automatically, so push the light switches manu-
ally to turn them off.
The operational/non-operational setting of
this function can be changed by a
SUBARU dealer. Contact your SUBARU
dealer to change the setting.
NOTE.The factory setting (default setting)
for this function is set as“operational”.
.When leaving the vehicle, make sure
that all doors and the trunk lid are
completely closed.
