@earthy.ang: You would think that because this is a car that’s designed to be an adventure car this would of been better designed by Subaru 🤷🏽♀️ but thankfully now I found a hack thanks to this lesson learned haha #fyp #camp #carcamping #subaru #outback #hack
Get the Hatch Catch! That’s what we use. I think Subaru should recall that though. It’s sooo annoying not being able to leave your trunk open!!!

Theres a switch on the trunk light! You can also put a caribeaner in the latch or just disconnect your battery

I’m glad everyone is on your side with this cause I agree, it’s a poor design!

You don’t need to buy anything! You just click the latch twice. The light will go off on the dash and you’re good! I’m so glad I didn’t waste money on a “hatch latch” or whatever on Etsy.

I never would have thought. Camping in a few weeks from the trunk. This probably saved me

how are these cars not designed to have the lights go off after a certain amount of time when not running? I thought that was standard battery protection

not only is it the light on the trunk but your speedometer screen is on showing the trunk open so that’s also killing your battery; a carabiner in the trunk latch works wonders !

some of these comments make me worry for you all. please all do keep in mind that anything that’s plugged into your car (car charger, anything in the lighter plug, radio adapter) should be unplugged everytime. it will also drain your batteries!!

Trunk open = interior lights on = battery dead.

Cars really are poorly designed. Why is there not simply an off switch for the battery

Fail on Subaru's part. I camp in the back of my jeep with the back gate open all the time. No hacks needed.

push the trunk latch up so it “clicks closed”, this way the car thinks the trunk is closed & won’t drain the battery, to unlatch it just press the trunk button as if you’re going to open it :)

I would close the trunk to keep bugs out personally
