2022 Subaru Ascent Moonroof (if equipped)
Moonroof (if equipped)
WARNING
Never let anyone’s hands, arms, head or any objects protrude from the moonroof. A person could be seriously injured if any of the following conditions occur.
- The vehicle stops suddenly.
- The vehicle turns sharply.
- The vehicle is involved in an accident.
- Body parts protruding from the vehicle are struck by outside objects.
To avoid serious personal injury caused by entrapment, always conform to the following instructions without exception. - Before closing the moonroof, make sure that no one’s hands, arms, head or other objects will be accidentally caught in the moonroof.
- Always carry the key when you leave the vehicle for safety reasons and never allow an unattended child to remain in the vehicle. Failure to follow this procedure could result in injury to a child operating the moonroof.
- Never try to check the anti-entrapment function by deliberately placing part of your body in the moonroof.
CAUTION
- Do not sit on the edge of the open moonroof.
- Do not operate the moonroof if falling snow or extremely cold conditions have caused it to freeze shut.
- The anti-entrapment function does not operate when the moonroof is being tilted down. Be sure to confirm that it is safe to do so before tilting the moonroof down.
- If the moonroof does not close, have the system checked by a SUBARU dealer.
The moonroof has both tilting and sliding functions. The moonroof operates only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position.
Sunshade switch
- Open
- Close
To open or close the sunshade using the automatic function, slide and hold the switch toward the open/close side and release.
To stop the sunshade halfway, slide the sunshade switch either way.
Moonroof switch
Tilting moonroof
To raise or lower the moonroof, press the moonroof switch. If the shade is closed past the half-open position when the switch is pressed, it will open up to the half-open position.
NOTE
Release the switch after the moonroof has been raised or has been lowered completely. Pressing the switch continuously may cause damage to the moonroof.
Sliding moonroof
- Open
- Close
To open the moonroof:
When the moonroof switch is slided and held to the open side, the moonroof will open, then stop slightly before the fully open position to reduce wind noise. Slide the moonroof switch again to fully open the moonroof.
To close the moonroof:
When the moonroof switch is slided and held to the close side, the moonroof will close, then stop at the tilt-up position. Slide and hold the moonroof switch again to fully close the moonroof.
To stop the moonroof halfway, slide the moonroof switch either way.
NOTE
- 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.
- For the sake of safety, it is recommended that you avoid driving with the moonroof fully opened.
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-entrapment function may also be activated by a strong shock on the moonroof even when there is nothing trapped.
CAUTION
Never attempt to test this function using fingers, hands or other parts of your body.
