Subaru Forester: Cargo area cover (if equipped) / To install the cover housing

- Insert the protrusion located on the
right end of the sleeve into the recess of
the retainer.

- Push the cover housing to the right
side and shorten the bar.
- Insert the other protrusion into the
recess of the other retainer.
The cargo area is equipped with several
tie-down hooks so that cargo can be

down out of the storing recesses...
Other information:
The journey time shows the time that has
elapsed since the ignition switch was
turned to the “ON” position.
The journey time indication flashes each
time a complete hour has elapsed. If the
display is giving a reading other than the
journey time, the display switches to the
journey time, flashes for 5 seconds, and
returns to its original reading each time a
complete hour has elapsed...
NOTE
The rear gate will remain unlocked
even after closing it. Always lock the
rear gate when leaving the vehicle.
If you cannot open/close the rear
gate by performing the operation described
here, a short electronic chirp
will sound three times (beep, beep,
beep)...
