2004 Subaru Outback Base, 4D Wagon, EJ251, StandardSECTION Open and close operations
- With the front sunroof fully lowered, holding the OPEN side of the sunroof switch pressed causes the rear end of the front glass lid to tilt up by 50 mm (1.97 in) and then come to a stop. If the switch is released and its OPEN side pressed again, the rear glass lid now opens, sliding rearward by 200 mm (7.87 in) and stops there. The rear glass lid further goes to the fully open position if the OPEN side of the sunroof switch is pressed again.
- With the rear sunroof fully open, holding the CLOSE side of the sunroof switch pressed causes the glass lid to move forward until its front edge reaches a point 150 mm (5.91 in) away from the fully closed position. The rear glass lid moves to the fully closed position if the CLOSE side of the sunroof switch is released and then pressed again.
Pressing the same side of the switch after complete closure of the rear sunroof causes the front glass lid to tilt down completely.
