Today I had a freak situation and I am not sure if that is normal or not. Either way it is very alarming as it might cause a safety issue.
So this happened in my 2020 touring; Engine was on, car in park, Keys in pocket, I get down to check something out and I close the door. The car auto locks and refuses to let me back in. Tried my key, the second key, all doors, all unlock buttons and nothing worked. The only way I managed to unlock the car was through the app.

I had a 2018 outback and this never happened, the car never locked when keys were not inside the car engine in or off.

Is this a known issue ? Is there something I’m missing ? Your advise, comments and suggestions are much appreciated.

Thanks

How do you open the door without a smartphone ?

There's a key in the keyfob. If you watch my battery change video, you will see how to take out the key.

I was under the impression that he did try the key and the unlock buttons. Maybe the original poster can clarify ??

How about the tailgate PIN code.

One of these days I'll remember to set one.

wow, something else I had no clue about, or is that only on the app ?

All Ascents. There's a couple buttons on the right side of the tailgate.

Pin code programming

Anyone succeeded programming pin code? I was able to do on Forester, but on Ascent it does not work. After I prepair for programming I enter first digit. At that point I hear 3 chirps and there are no Chirps between digits. So it does not take code. There are plenty of videos and...
