Subaru Forester: Rear gate / Selecting audible signal operation
Using an electronic chirp, the power rear
gate will give you an audible signal before
starting its operation. If desired, the audible
signal can be turned off by a SUBARU
dealer. Consult your SUBARU dealer for
details.
For models with “keyless access with
push-button start system”, you can turn
the audible signal off by operating the
combination meter display (color LCD).
For details, refer to “Keyless Entry System”.
The ON/OFF setting of the audible signal
also works as the audible signal settings
for the “remote keyless entry system” and
the “keyless access with push-button start
system”. However, for the warning chime such as that caused by “Reverse
function” or “Rear gate drop prevention
function”, it cannot be set as nonoperational.
If the power rear gate detects some
abnormality while operating, an electronic
chirp will sound and the power rear gate
operation will be automatically stopped in
either opening or closing position...
Other information:
Apply the parking brake.
Shift the select lever to the “P” (Park)
position.
Depress the brake pedal.
Hold the access key fob with the
buttons facing you, and touch the pushbutton
ignition switch with it.
When the communication between the
access key fob and the vehicle is completed,
a chime (ding) will sound...
The Auto Vehicle Hold function will automatically
keep the vehicle stopped even
after releasing the brake pedal when the
vehicle is at a complete stop, such as at
traffic signals.
WARNING
Do not use the Auto Vehicle Hold
function on a steep hill or slippery
road...
