2020 SUBARU ASCENT child lock

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.
LATCH/ANCHOR
Your Subaru is equipped with Lower Anchors
and Tethers for Children (LATCH). 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 Subaru. Children
age 12 and under must properly occupy the
rear seat at all times.

REAR SEAT REMINDER
The Rear Seat Reminder system assists you in
preventing a child or pet from being left in your
Subaru. The system monitors the opening and
closing of the rear side door. It does not
physically sense the presence of a child or pet.
The system turns on if your Subaru is started
within 30 minutes of a rear side door opening
or closing. It also turns on if a rear side door is
opened and closed when your Subaru is
running and stationary. The system remains on
if your Subaru is turned off and back on again
within 30 minutes and the rear side doors
remained closed.
When you turn your Subaru off, the system warns you audibly and with a “Reminder, Look
in Rear Seat” message in the Combination Meter Display (CMD).
The system operates only one time with each ignition cycle and opening and closing of a
rear side door. You can turn the Rear Seat Reminder off in the Combination Meter Display
(CMD).
POWER REAR GATE (PRG)(if equipped)
Power Rear Gate Button
Briefly press and release the button on the instrument
panel to automatically open or close the rear gate. Two
chirps will sound and the hazard warning flashers will
flash twice. If you briefly press the button while it is
closing, it will open. If you briefly press the button
while it is opening, it will pause. Press the button again
to close the rear gate. If you attempt to open the Power Rear Gate with the doors locked,
three rapid beeps will sound.
The operation is the same using the Power Rear Gate Button on the access key fob or
transmitter.
NOTE: This button only functions to open the PRG when the doors are unlocked. If the
doors are locked, you will hear three rapid beeps from the vehicle.
