Subaru Forester: Locking and unlocking from the inside / How to use the lock lever

- Rotate the lock lever rearward to unlock.
- Rotate the lock lever forward to lock.
Always make sure that all doors and the
rear gate are closed before starting to
drive.
The red mark on the lock lever appears
when the door is unlocked.
Pull the inside door handle to open an
unlocked door.
WARNING
- Keep all doors locked when you
drive, especially when small children
are in your vehicle.
Along with the proper use of
seatbelts 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 if a door is
accidentally opened, and intruders
from unexpectedly opening
doors and entering your vehicle.
- Do not pull the front door handle
from inside while driving. The
door could open even if it is
locked.
All doors, the rear gate and fuel filler lid can
be locked and unlocked using the power
door locking switches located on the
driver’s side and the front passenger’s
side doors...
Other information:
Unlock the vehicle doors using the
keyless access function and remote keyless
entry system.NOTE
If the vehicle’s doors are unlocked
manually using the key, the vehicle’s
alarm system will trigger (if the alarm
system is armed prior to activating the
remote engine start system) and the
engine will turn off...
The load capacity of your vehicle is
determined by weight, not by available
cargo space. The load limit of
your vehicle is shown on the vehicle
placard attached to the driver’s side
door pillar. Locate the statement
“The combined weight of occupants
and cargo should never exceed
XXX kg or XXX lbs” on your
vehicle’s placard...
