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

Subaru Forester. How to use the lock lever

  1. Rotate the lock lever rearward to unlock.
  2. 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.
