Subaru Forester: Moonroof (if equipped) / Anti-entrapment function. Sunshade
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.
NOTE
For the sake of safety, it is recommended
that you avoid driving with the
moonroof fully opened.
Sunshade

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