Subaru Forester: Moonroof (if equipped) / Moonroof switch

- OPEN/CLOSE switch

To open the moonroof:
Press the rear side of the “OPEN/CLOSE”
switch. The sunshade 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.
To close the moonroof:
Press the front side of the “OPEN/CLOSE”
switch.
To stop the moonroof at a selected midway
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.
NOTE
- Driving with the moonroof fully open
can cause an annoying sound to be
generated at high speeds. If this occurs,
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.
WARNING

head or any objects protr..
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...
