Subaru Crosstrek Owners Manual: Locking and unlocking from the outside

NOTE

If you unlock the driver's door with a key (including a mechanical key) and open the door while the alarm system is armed, the alarm system is triggered and the vehicle's horn sounds. In this case, perform any of the following operations:

Models with "keyless access with push-button start system":

Press any button on the access key (except when the access key battery is discharged).

Press the push-button ignition switch to "ACC".

Carry the access key and perform either of the following procedures.

• Grip the front door handle
• Press the rear gate opener button

Models without "keyless access with push-button start system":

• Press any button on the remote transmitter (except when the transmitter battery is discharged).
• Insert the key into the ignition switch and turn the ignition switch to "ON".

  For details about the alarm system, refer to "Alarm system" 2-26.

To lock the driver's door from the outside with the key, turn the key toward the front.

To unlock the door, turn the key toward the rear. Pull the outside door handle to open an unlocked door.

NOTE

For models with "keyless access with push-button start system": The mechanical key is directional. If the key cannot be inserted, change the direction that the grooved side is facing and insert it again.

To lock the door from outside without the key, the following methods are available.

Locking using lock lever

1. Rotate the lock lever forward.
2. Close the door.

In this case, all closed doors and the rear gate are locked at the same time.

Always make sure that all doors and the rear gate are locked before leaving your vehicle.

Make sure that you do not leave the key inside the vehicle when locking the doors from the outside without the key.
