Subaru 2001 Outback - Manual (Page 117)

& Moonroof switches
! Tilting moonroof
1) Raise
2) Lower
The raising function will only operate when
the moonroof is fully closed. The lowering
function will only operate when the moon-
roof is raised.
Press the rear side of the “UP/DOWN”
switch to raise the moonroof.
Press the front side of the
“UP/DOWN”
switch to lower the moonroof.
Release the switch after the moonroof has
been raised or has been lowered com-
pletely. Pressing the switch continuously
may cause damage to the moonroof.
NOTE
One-touch operation does not take
place when the moonroof is lowered.
Press the switch continuously to lower
the moonroof.
! Sliding moonroof
1) Open
2) Close
Press the “OPEN/CLOSE” switch rear-
ward to open the moonroof. The sun
shade will also be opened together with
the moonroof. For Outback, the moonroof
will stop at a position 11 in (29 cm) away
from the fully closed position. Press the
switch again to open the moonroof com-
pletely.
Press the
“OPEN/CLOSE” switch forward
to close the moonroof.
To stop the moonroof at a selected mid-
way position while opening or closing it,
momentarily press 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.
NOTE
. For the sake of safety, it is recom-
mended that you avoid driving with the
moonroof fully opened.
. If the moonroof cannot be closed
through the switch operation because
of system failure, it can be closed
manually using a hex-head wrench.
For the procedure, refer to
“Moonroof
– if moonroof cannot be closed” F9-20.
! 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.
