Subaru Forester: In case of emergency / Rear gate – if the rear gate cannot be opened
In the event that you cannot open the rear
gate by operating the rear gate opener
button, you can open it from inside the
cargo area.

- Remove the access cover at the
bottom-center of the rear gate trim using
a flat-head screwdriver wrapped with vinyl
tape or a cloth.
- Locate the rear gate open lever behind
the rear gate trim.
CAUTION
Never operate the rear gate open
lever with fingers because doing so
may cause an injury. Always use a
flat-head screwdriver or a similar
tool.

recommend that you have the system
checked by a SUBARU dealer...

Hill descent control indicator (type B)
This indicator appears while the hill descent
control function is in the standby
mode. It flashes while the function is
operating. It will disappear when the
function is in the disabled mode...
Two separate circuits
Your vehicle has two separate circuit brake
systems. Each circuit works diagonally
across the vehicle. If one circuit of the
brake system should fail, the other half of
the system still works. If one circuit fails,
the brake pedal will go down much closer
to the floor than usual and you will need to
press it down much harder...
