The electronic sunshade in the Subaru Solterra is functional when the power switch is in the ON position, ensuring system readiness during normal vehicle use.

■ Jam protection function for the electronic sunshade

• If an obstruction is detected between the sunshade and its frame while closing, the Subaru Solterra system automatically halts movement and slightly reopens the sunshade to prevent damage or injury.
• After the jam protection function is triggered, pressing the "CLOSE" side again will not immediately resume closing until the reverse motion has completely stopped.
• Under certain driving conditions or external impacts, the electronic sunshade in the Subaru Solterra may briefly reverse direction as part of its safety response.

■ When the electronic sunshade does not close normally

If the electronic sunshade in the Subaru Solterra does not function correctly, perform the following initialization procedure to restore proper operation:

1. Turn the power switch to ON.

2. Press and hold the "CLOSE" side of the switch continuously.

The sunshade will move toward the nearly closed position, pause, then automatically reverse direction before closing completely.

If the switch is released prematurely, the initialization process must be restarted from the beginning.

If automatic operation still does not function correctly after completing these steps, it is recommended to have the Subaru Solterra inspected by an authorized SUBARU dealer.
