2022 Subaru Outback 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 the vehicle stops suddenly or turns sharply or if the vehicle is involved in an accident. To avoid serious personal injury caused by entrapment, you must 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.
• Before leaving the vehicle, always remove the key from the ignition switch for safety (models without “keyless access with push-button start system”) 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.

1. The moonroof has both tilting and sliding functions.
2. The moonroof operates only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position

Moonroof Switches

Tilting moonroof

The tilting-up function will only operate when the moonroof is fully closed. The laying down function will only operate when the moonroof is tilted To tilt up the moonroof: Press and hold the moonroof switch. To lay down the moonroof: Slide and hold the moonroof switch forward.

CAUTION
Release the switch after the moonroof has been tilted or has been laid down completely. Pressing the switch continuously may cause damage to the moonroof.

NOTE
The 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

To open the moonroof

When the moonroof switch is slid and held backward, 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 slid and held to the close side, the moonroof will fully close.
• To stop the moonroof halfway, slide the moonroof switch either way. 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 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 the closure, it automatically moves to the open side and stop. 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.

Sunshade

1. The sunshade can be slid forward or backward by hand while the moonroof is closed.
2. If the moonroof is opened, the sunshade also moves back
