Power Door Locking Switch; Child Safety Locks - Subaru FORESTER Manual

Function disabling unlocking
with the power door locking
switch (Australia models
without double locking sys-
tem)
WARNING
Never lock the doors using the
remote keyless entry system while
passengers are inside the vehicle.
Doing so activates the function that
disables unlocking with the power
door locking switch and so people
in the vehicle would not be able to
open the doors from the inside. This
could result in serious injury or
death.
Australia models are fitted with an anti-
theft function that disables door unlocking
with the power door locking switch. This
function is activated in the following
situations, disabling the doors from being
unlocked using the power door locking
switch.
. The doors are locked using the remote
keyless entry system.
. The automatic locking function is in
operation.
Refer to the "Locking and unlocking doors"
section in this chapter.
This function is canceled when the doors
are unlocked using the remote keyless
entry system or the ignition switch is
turned to "ON".
NOTE
. Even while this function is activated,
doors can be unlocked using their lock
levers, refer to the "Door locks" section
in this chapter.
. This function is not activated when
the doors are locked using the key or

power door locking switch.

Keys and doors

Child safety locks

Each rear door has a child safety lock that
prevents the doors from being opened
even if the inside door handle is pulled.
When the child safety lock lever is in the
lock position, the door cannot be opened
from inside regardless of the position of
the inner door handle lock lever. The door
can only be opened from the outside.
WARNING
Always turn the child safety locks to
the "LOCK" position when children
sit on the rear seat. Serious injury
could result if a child accidentally
opens the door and falls out.
