Hi - this question pertains to my 2018 Outback limited. It has the function where you can lock your car by swiping your finger over a sensor on the driver's door to lock. It worked fine yesterday. Today when I unlocked my car I needed to unlock for a passenger for the first time (not knowing the factory preset would let me unlock the driver's door only). Long story short, I pressed all the keyfob buttons. Everything works - and I fixed the unlocking only the driver's door in my settings - EXCEPT for the swipe to lock function. Any ideas on how to reset? Thank you!
My wife's 15 Legacy was acting weird like that for a while, turns out she had the other key in the center console and it was trying to prevent her from locking it in.
It's less of a swipe...more of a touch and hold for a few milliseconds. Are you sure you're touching it long enough?
TMF, your simple solution was spot-on! I wasn't holding long enough. It was described as as swipe but it's a bit slower than that. Thank you!
