2019 Subaru Forester Owners Manual - Moonroof (if equipped)

Moonroof (if equipped)

The moonroof operates only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position.

150 Moonroof

OPEN/CLOSE switch

Open

Close

Press the rear side of the “OPEN/CLOSE” switch. The sun shade will also be opened together with the moonroof. The moonroof will stop at a position approximately 6 in (15 cm) away from the fully opened position. Slide the switch rearward again to open the moonroof completely.

Press the front side of the “OPEN/CLOSE” switch.

To stop the moonroof at a selected mid- way position while opening or closing it, momentarily push the switch to the

“OPEN” side or “CLOSE” side.

After washing the vehicle or after it rains, wipe away water on the roof prior to opening the moonroof to prevent drops of water from falling into the passenger compartment.

Driving with the moonroof fully open can cause an annoying sound to be generated at high speeds. If this oc- curs, use the moonroof at the initial stop position of 6 in (15 cm) away from the fully opened position.

The moonroof cannot be operated while the remote engine starter system is operating.

Anti-entrapment function

When the moonroof senses a substantial enough object trapped between its glass and the vehicle’s roof during closure, it automatically moves back to the fully open position and stops there. The anti-entrap- ment function may also be activated by a strong shock on the moonroof even when there is nothing trapped.

& Sun shade

The sun shade can be slid forward or backward by hand while the moonroof is closed.

If the moonroof is opened, the sun shade also moves back.
