REAR SEAT REMINDER(if equipped)
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).
CARGO COVER(if equipped)
Use the detachable cargo cover to protect
contents in the cargo area from direct sunlight.
Pull the cover toward the rear of your Subaru
and insert both ends of the cover into the
guides.
Store the cover under the floor of the cargo
area when not in use. Make sure to hook the
loops on the floor cover to the hooks in the
trim panel to help carry the load of any
contents that are stored in the cargo area.
Instructions for operation are included on the
cargo cover housing.
