Subaru Forester: Cargo area cover (if equipped) / Using the cover

To extend the cover, pull the end of the
cover out of the housing, then insert its
hooks into the catches as shown. To
rewind it, unhook it from the catches and
it will rewind automatically. You should
hold on to the cover and guide it back into
the cover housing while it is rewinding.
WARNING
Do not place anything on the extended
cover. Putting excessive
weight on the extended cover can
break it and an object on the cover
could tumble forward in the event of
a sudden stop or collision. This
could cause serious injury.
CAUTION
Be careful not to scratch the rear
gate stays while extending and rewinding
the cover. Scratches on the
stays could cause leakage of gas
from the stays, which may result in
their inability to hold the rear gate
open.
CAUTION
For models with a reclining rear
seatback, when reclining, move the
front part of the cover back so that it
is not damaged.
Align the right side of the front cover
with the triangle mark before fixing the
cover in place...
