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.
