while driving.
.Help prevent children, adults or
animals from locking themselves
in the trunk. On hot or sunny
days, the temperature in the trunk
could quickly become high en-
ough to cause death or serious

exposed to ambient light even for a short
time.
WARNING
Never allow any child to get in the
trunk and play with the release
handle. If the driver starts the vehi-
cle without knowing that a child is
inside the trunk and the child opens
the lid using the release handle, the
child could fall out and be killed or
seriously injured.
CAUTION
.Do not close the lid while gripping
the release handle. The handle
may be damaged.
.Do not use the handle as a hook
to fasten straps or ropes to
secure your cargo in the trunk.
Such use may result in damage of
the handle.
.Load the trunk so that cargo
cannot strike the release handle.
If the cargo hits the handle while
the vehicle is being driven, the
handle may be pulled and the
trunk lid may open. That may
cause cargo to fall out of the
trunk, which could create a trafficsafety hazard.
!Inspection
Perform the following steps at least twice a
year to check the release handle for
correct operation.
1. Open the trunk lid.
2. Use a flat-head screwdriver with a thin
blade. Slide the flat-head screwdriver
blade from the slit aperture of the lock
assembly fully to the end until you hear a
click.
This places the latch in the locked position.3. Move the release handle, from outside
the vehicle, in the direction of the arrow to
check if the latch is released.
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.
Moonroof (if equipped)
WARNING
Never let anyone’s hands, arms,
head or any objects protrude from
the moonroof. A person could be
seriously injured if the vehicle stops
suddenly or turns sharply or if the
vehicle is involved in an accident.
To avoid serious personal injury
caused by accidental, child’s mis-
chief, or improper operation, the
driver is responsible for obeying
the following instructions without
exception.
.Before closing the moonroof,
make sure that no one’s hands,
arms, head or other objects will
be accidentally caught in the
moonroof.
.Always carry the key when you
leave the vehicle for safety rea-
sons and never allow an unat-
tended child to remain in the
vehicle. Failure to follow this
procedure could result in injury
to a child operating the moon-
roof.
.Never try to check the anti-en-trapment function by deliberately
placing part of your body in the
moonroof.
CAUTION
.Do not sit on the edge of the open
moonroof.
.Do not operate the moonroof if
falling snow or extremely cold
conditions have caused it to
freeze shut.
.The anti-entrapment function
does not operate when the moon-
roof is being tilted down. Be sure
to confirm that it is safe to do so
before tilting the moonroof down.
.If the moonroof does not close,
we recommend that you have the
system checked by a SUBARU
dealer.
The moonroof has both tilting and sliding
functions.
The moonroof operates only when the
ignition switch is in the“ON”position.

Ignition switchConventional type ignition switchPush-button ignition switch
1) Operation indicator
2) Push-button ignition switch
The design of the push-button ignition
switch may be slightly different depending
on the models.
WARNING
.Before leaving the vehicle, ob-
serve the following instructions
for safety.
–Remove the key from the igni-
tion switch (models with con-
ventional type ignition
switch).
–Carry out the access key fob
(models with push-button
ignition switch).
–Never allow an unattended
child to remain in the vehicle.
Failure to observe these instruc-
tions could result in injury to a
child or others. Children could
operate the power windows, the
moonroof or other controls, or
even make the vehicle move.
.Never turn the ignition switch to
the“LOCK”/“OFF”position while
driving or being towed. Doing so
will lock the steering wheel, pre-
venting steering control. In addi-
tion, when the engine stops, it
takes a much greater effort thanusual to steer.
CAUTION
.To prevent the vehicle battery
from discharging, keep the igni-
tion switch in the“LOCK”/“OFF”
position when the engine is not
running.
.Do not use electrical accessories
for a long time with the ignition
switch in the“ON”or“ACC”
position. Doing so can cause the
battery to go dead.

switch while turning the steering wheel
left and right.
!Battery drainage prevention func-
tion
When the push-button ignition switch is left
in the“ACC”or“ON”position for approxi-
mately 1 hour, the push-button ignition
switch will be automatically switched to
“OFF”to prevent the battery from going
dead. (In CVT models, this function is
activated when the select lever is in the“P”
position.)
!When access key fob does not
operate properly
Refer to“Access key fob–if access key
fob does not operate properly”F9-26.
Hazard warning flasherUse the hazard warning flasher to warn
other drivers when you have to park your
vehicle under emergency conditions. The
hazard warning flasher works regardless
of the position of the ignition switch.

instrument panel. All the turn signal lights
and the turn signal indicator lights will
flash. To turn off the flasher, push the
button again.NOTEWhen the hazard warning flasher is on,
the turn signals do not work.
Meters and gaugesNOTELiquid-crystal displays are used in
some of the meters and gauges on the
combination meter. You will find their
indications hard to see if you wear
polarized glasses.&Combination meter illumina-
tionWhen you turn the ignition switch to the
“ON”position, the various parts of the
combination meter are illuminated in the
following sequence.
1. Warning lights, indicator lights, meter
needles, gauge needles illuminate.
2. Meter and gauge indications each

door within 10 seconds of illumination of
the odometer/trip meter, the odometer/trip
meter will turn off.
You can switch the display as shown in the
following sequence by pressing the trip
knob.To set the trip meter to zero, select the A
trip or B trip meter by pressing the knob
and keep the knob pressed for more than 2
seconds.
CAUTION
To ensure safety, do not attempt to
change the function of the indicator
while driving, as an accident could
result.NOTEIf the connection between the combina-
tion meter and battery is broken for any
reason such as vehicle maintenance or
fuse replacement, the data recorded on
the trip meter will be lost.
&TachometerThe tachometer shows the engine speed
in thousands of revolutions per minute.
CAUTION
Do not operate the engine with the
pointer of the tachometer in the red
zone. In this range, fuel injection will
be cut by the engine control module
to protect the engine from overrev-
ving. The engine will resume run-
ning normally after the engine speed
is reduced below the red zone.
&Fuel gauge1) Low fuel warning lightThe fuel gauge shows the approximate
amount of fuel remaining in the tank.
When the ignition switch is in the“LOCK”/
“OFF”or“ACC”position, the fuel gauge
shows“E”even if the fuel tank contains
fuel.
The gauge may move slightly during
braking, turning or acceleration due to fuel
level movement in the tank.
If you press the trip knob while the ignition
switch is in the“LOCK”/“OFF”or“ACC”
position, the fuel gauge’s dial will light up
and the needle will indicate the amount of
fuel remaining in the tank.
If, while the fuel gauge needle is indicating
the amount of fuel remaining in the tank,
