NOTE

● AAfter deactivating automatic opening and closing, the rear gate may open or close automatically, moving little by little. This movement is to prevent the rear gate from quickly opening and closing and it will continue for approximately 15 seconds but it is not a malfunction.

● While the power rear gate is temporarily deactivated, if it is struck by body parts or objects and sustains a strong impact, the temporary deactivation may be canceled. The purpose of this is to absorb the impact of the collision and it is not a malfunction. In this case, the rear gate will not open or close automatically.

If the power rear gate senses a malfunction, an electronic chirp will sound and automatic opening and closing will be deactivated. The rear gate will automatically open or close depending on the degree it is open to at this time.

In order for the rear gate to open and close automatically, carry out the following operation. If the rear gate does not open and close automatically after carrying out this operation, we recommend that you have the vehicle checked at a SUBARU dealer.
