Subaru Ascent 2018-2026 Owner's Manual: Overhead console

In the Subaru Ascent, the overhead console provides a convenient storage area located above the front seats. To open it, gently press upward on the lid at the "PUSH" marking, and the compartment will automatically release and open smoothly.

WARNING

Do not operate the overhead console while driving the Subaru Ascent. Taking your attention away from the road can lead to dangerous situations and may result in serious injury or accidents.

CAUTION

• When the Subaru Ascent is parked in direct sunlight or high temperatures, the overhead console may become very hot. Avoid placing heat-sensitive, flammable, or deformable items such as plastic objects or lighters inside.
• Always use the push mechanism to open the console. Pulling the lid manually may damage the opening mechanism.

  Improper handling can reduce the durability of the overhead console components.

Cabin view mirror

After use, gently push the lid back to the halfway position to close the mirror compartment securely.
