“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 oc-
curs, 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.

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-entrap-
ment 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 recom-
mended that you avoid driving with the
moonroof fully opened.

Sun shade

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

3-1. Ignition switch (models
without “keyless access with
push-button start system”)

WARNING

Never turn the ignition switch to

the “LOCK” position while the
vehicle is being driven or towed
because that will lock the steer-
ing wheel, preventing steering
control. And when the engine is
turned off, it takes a much greater
effort than usual to steer.

Before leaving the vehicle, al-

ways remove the key from the
ignition switch for safety and
never allow an unattended child
to remain in the vehicle. Failure to
follow this procedure could re-
sult in injury to a child or others.
Children could operate the power
windows, the moonroof or other
controls or even make the vehicle
move.

CAUTION

Do not attach a large key holder or
key case to either key. If it banged
against your knees or hands while
you are driving, it could turn the
ignition switch from the “ON” posi-
tion to the “ACC” or “LOCK” posi-
tion, thereby stopping the engine.
Also, if the key is attached to a key
holder or to a large bunch of other
keys, centrifugal force may act on it
as the vehicle moves, resulting in
unwanted turning of the ignition
switch.

The ignition switch has four positions:
LOCK, ACC, ON and START.

NOTE

Keep the ignition switch in the

“LOCK” position when the engine is
not running.
.

Using electrical accessories for a

long time with the ignition switch in the
“ON” or “ACC” position can cause the
battery to go dead.
.

If the ignition switch will not move

from the “LOCK” position to the “ACC”
position, turn the steering wheel
slightly to the left and right as you turn
the ignition switch.

Key positions

Description

LOCK

The key can only be inserted
or removed in this position.
The ignition switch will lock
the steering wheel when you
remove the key.

ACC

In this position the electrical
accessories (audio, acces-
sory power outlet, etc.) can be
used.

This is the normal operating
position after starting the en-
gine.

Do not use front seats with their back-

ward-forward position and seatback not
being locked into place securely. If any of
them are not locked securely, adjust them

WARNING

If the warning light exhibits any of
the following conditions, there may
be a malfunction in the seatbelt
pretensioners and/or SRS airbag
system. Immediately take your vehi-
cle to your nearest SUBARU dealer
to have the system checked. Unless
checked and properly repaired, the
seatbelt pretensioners and/or SRS
airbag will not operate properly in
the event of a collision, which may
increase the risk of injury.

Front passenger’s frontal air-
bag ON and OFF indicators

: Front passenger’s frontal airbag ON

indicator

: Front passenger’s frontal airbag OFF

indicator

The front passenger’s frontal airbag ON
and OFF indicators show you the status of
the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag.

The indicator is displayed near the map
lights.
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, both the ON and OFF
indicators illuminate for 6 seconds during
which time the system is checked. Follow-
ing the system check, both indicators turn
off for 2 seconds. After that, one of the
indicators illuminates depending on the
status of the front passenger’s SRS frontal
airbag determined by the SUBARU ad-
vanced frontal airbag system monitoring.
If the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag
is activated, the passenger’s frontal airbag
ON indicator will illuminate while the OFF
indicator will remain off.
If the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag
is deactivated, the passenger’s frontal
airbag ON indicator will remain off while
the OFF indicator will illuminate.
With the ignition switch turned to the “ON”
position, if both the ON and OFF indicators
remain illuminated or off simultaneously
even after the system check period, the
system is malfunctioning. Contact your
SUBARU dealer immediately for an in-
spection.
