•Failure turn of glass lid while driving rough road.
Glass lid has auto-reverse function. When applied above specified force to the glass lid, the lid turns back
and stops. When operating the glass lid (open or close) while driving the rough road, the lid judges vibration
as a force and may causes failure turns. When the failure turn is occurred, need to perform the initialize op-
eration with following procedure.
1. INITIALIZE OPERATION
1) Tilt up the glass lid.
2) Release the switch once, and press the tilt up switch again for 15 seconds.
3) When the glass lid is raised a little and returned to tilt up position, release the switch for the moment. (Ini-
tialization of position detecting function)
4) Holding down the tilt up switch again within 5 seconds from releasing the switch will automatically perform
tilt down/slide open/slide close. (When more than 5 seconds pass, the position detecting function is can-
celled.)
5) Initialize operation is completed.

C: CAUTION
Please understand and adhere to the following general precautions. They must be strictly followed to avoid
any injury to the person performing the work or persons in the area.
1. OPERATION
•Wear work clothing, including a cap, protective goggles and protective shoes during operation.
•Before disposing of shock absorbers, be sure to bleed the gas out completely. Also, do not expose to
flames or fire.
•Before removal, installation or disassembly, be sure to clarify the failure. Avoid unnecessary removal, in-
stallation, disassembly and replacement.
•Use SUBARU genuine grease etc. or equivalent. Do not mix grease etc. with that of another grade or from
other manufacturers.
•Before securing a part on a vise, place cushioning material such as wood blocks, aluminum plate, or cloth
between the part and the vise.
•Be sure to tighten fasteners including bolts and nuts to the specified torque.
•Place shop jacks or rigid racks at the specified points.
2. OIL
When handling oil, follow the rules below to prevent unexpected accidents.
•Prepare container and waste cloths when performing work which oil could possibly spill. If oil spills, wipe
it off immediately to prevent from penetrating into floor or flowing outside, for environmental protection.
