1-1. Seats  
& Safety tips  
! Safety tips for seat  
WARNING  
Never adjust the seat while driv-  
ing, as personal injury or loss of  
vehicle control may occur.  
.
The SRS airbags deploy with  
considerable speed and force.  
Occupants who are not sitting  
back and upright when the SRS  
airbag deploys could suffer ser-  
ious injury. Because the SRS  
airbag needs enough space for  
deployment, the driver should  
always sit upright and well back  
in the seat as far from the steer-  
ing wheel as practical while still  
maintaining full vehicle control,  
and the front passenger should  
move the seat as far back as  
possible and sit upright and well  
back in the seat.  
.
.
.
Before adjusting the seat, ensure  
nothing is blocking the adjusting  
mechanism.  
WARNING  
After adjusting the seat, move it  
back and forth to ensure the seat  
is securely locked. If it is not, it  
may move suddenly or the seat-  
belt may not operate properly.  
Place children in the rear seat prop-  
erly restrained at all times. The SRS  
airbag deploys with considerable  
speed and force and can injure or  
even kill children, especially if they  
are not restrained or improperly  
restrained. Because children are  
lighter and weaker than adults, their  
risk of being injured from deploy-  
ment is greater. For that reason, we  
strongly recommend that ALL chil-  
dren (including those in child seats  
and those that have outgrown child  
restraint devices) sit in the REAR  
seat properly restrained at all times  
in a child restraint system or in a  
seatbelt, whichever is appropriate  
.
.
Do not put objects under the front  
seats. They may interfere with  
front seat locking mechanism  
and cause an accident.  
Seatbelts provide maximum re-  
straint when the occupant sits  
back and upright in the seat. To  
reduce the risk of sliding under  
the seatbelt in a collision, the  
front seatbacks should always  
be used in the upright position  
while the vehicle is running. If the  
front seatbacks are not in the  
Seats 31  
for the child’s age, height and  
weight. Secure ALL types of child  
restraint devices (including forward  
facing child restraint systems) in the  
REAR seats at all times.  
NEVER INSTALL A CHILD RE-  
STRAINT SYSTEM IN THE FRONT  
PASSENGER’S SEAT. DOING SO  
RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH  
TO THE CHILD BY PLACING THE  
CHILD’S HEAD TOO CLOSE TO THE  
SRS AIRBAG.  
According to accident statistics,  
children are safer when properly  
restrained in the rear seating posi-  
tions than in the front seating posi-  
tions. For instructions and precau-  
tions concerning child restraint sys-  
tems, refer to “Child restraint sys-  
tems” �P60.  
WARNING  
WARNING  
To prevent the passenger from slid-  
ing under the seatbelt in the event of  
a collision, always put the seatback  
in the upright position while the  
vehicle is in motion. Also, do not  
place objects such as cushions  
between the passenger and the seat-  
back. If you do so, the risk of sliding  
under the lap belt and of the lap belt  
sliding up over the abdomen will  
increase, and both can result in  
serious injury or death.  
Do not let rear passengers rest their  
feet between the front seatback and  
seat cushion. Doing so may interfere  
with the proper operation of the  
following systems and could result  
in serious injury.

WARNING  
WARNING  
WARNING  
Do not press your feet onto the  
instrument panel. Doing so may  
prevent the occupant detection  
function of the SRS airbag system  
from functioning correctly, and may  
result in serious injury or death in  
the event of an accident.  
Seatbelts provide maximum re-  
straint when the occupant sits well  
back and upright in the seat. Do not  
put cushions or any other materials  
between occupants and seatbacks  
or seat cushions. If you do so, the  
risk of sliding under the lap belt and  
of the lap belt sliding up over the  
abdomen will increase, and both can  
result in serious internal injury or  
death.  
Never stack luggage or other cargo  
higher than the top of the seatback  
because it could tumble forward and  
injure passengers in the event of a  
sudden stop or accident.

! Safety tips for head restraint  
& Manual seat (if equipped)  
! Reclining the seatback  
! Forward and backward adjustment  
WARNING  
.
Never drive the vehicle with the  
head restraints removed because  
they are designed to reduce the  
risk of serious neck injury in the  
event that the vehicle is struck  
from the rear. Also, never install  
the head restraints the opposite  
way round. Doing so will prevent  
the head restraints from function-  
ing as intended. Therefore, when  
you remove the head restraints,  
you must reinstall all head re-  
straints correctly to protect vehi-  
cle occupants.  
Pull the reclining lever up and adjust the  
seatback to the desired position. Then  
release the lever and move the seatback  
back and forth to confirm that it is securely  
fixed in place.  
The seatback placed in a reclined position  
can spring back upward with force when  
the lever is pulled. When operating the  
lever to return the seatback, hold the  
seatback lightly so that it may be raised  
back gradually.  
Pull the lever upward and slide the seat to  
the desired position. Then release the  
lever and move the seat back and forth to  
make sure that it is securely locked into  
place.  
.
All occupants, including the dri-  
ver, should not operate a vehicle  
or sit in a vehicle’s seat until the  
head restraints are placed in their  
proper positions in order to mini-  
mize the risk of neck injury in the  
event of a crash.

Seatbelts provide maximum re-  
straint when the occupant sits back  
and upright in the seat. Do not place  
cushions or any other materials  
between occupants and seatbacks  
or seat cushions. By doing so, the  
risk of sliding under the lap belt and  
of the lap belt sliding up over the

& Folding down the rear seat-  
back  
WARNING  
.
When you fold down the seat-  
back, check that there are no  
passengers or objects on the rear  
seat. Not doing so creates a risk  
of injury or property damage if  
the seatback suddenly folds  
down.

Never allow passengers to ride  
on the folded rear seatback or in  
the cargo area. Doing so may  
result in serious injury or death.  
WARNING  
To lower the armrest, pull down the top  
edge of the armrest.  
Never stack luggage or other cargo  
higher than the top of the seatback  
as it could tumble forward and injure  
passengers in the event of a sudden  
stop or accident.  
Secure all objects and especially  
long items properly to prevent  
them from being thrown around  
inside the vehicle and causing  
serious injury during a sudden  
stop, steering maneuver or accel-  
eration.  
WARNING  
.
.
To avoid serious injury, passen-  
gers must never sit on the center  
armrest.  
When using the seatbelt, do not  
allow it to become tangled with  
an arm rest. The seatbelt will not  
perform its original function in an  
emergency and it may cause a  
serious injury.  
.
When you return the seatback to  
its original position, shake it  
slightly to confirm that it is se-  
curely in place. If it is not securely  
fixed in place, it may suddenly  
fold down in the event of sudden  
braking, or objects may move out  
from the cargo area. Both could  
cause serious injury or death.

WARNING  
To prevent the passenger from slid-  
ing under the seatbelt in the event of  
a collision, observe the following  
precautions:  
WARNING  
The front seat head restraints are  
designed to be installed into the  
front seats only. The rear seat head  
restraints are designed to be in-  
stalled into the rear seats only. Do  
not attempt to install the front seat  
head restraints into the rear seats, or  
the rear seat head restraints into the  
front seats.  
.
Keep the seatback in the upright  
position while the vehicle is in  
motion.  
.
Do not place objects such as  
cushions between the passenger  
and the seatback.  
Otherwise, the risk of sliding under  
the lap belt and of the lap belt sliding  
up over the abdomen will increase,  
and both can result in serious inter-  
nal injury or death.  
NOTE  
Pull the strap and adjust the seatback to  
the desired position.  
Then release the strap and move the  
seatback back and forth to confirm that it  
is securely fixed in place.

1-4. Seat heater (if equipped)  
CAUTION  
The seat heater is equipped in the front  
seats or rear seats (window side seating  
position).  
.
People with delicate skin may  
suffer slight burns even at low  
temperatures if they use the seat  
heater for a long period of time.  
When using the heater, always be  
sure to warn the persons con-  
cerned.  
The seat heater operates when the ignition  
switch is either in the “ACC” or “ON”  
position.  
.
.
Do not put anything on the seat  
which insulates against heat,  
such as a blanket, cushion, or  
similar items. This may cause the  
seat heater to overheat.  
When the seat is warmed enough  
or before you leave the vehicle,  
be sure to turn off the seat heater.  
NOTE  
Use of the seat heater for a long period  
of time while the engine is not running  
can cause battery discharge.

1-5. Seatbelts  
& Seatbelt safety tips  
NOTE  
Only the front seat heater switches  
retain the previous switch position  
even if the vehicle has restarted. The  
rear seat heater switch will reset.  
WARNING  
Keep the lap belt as low as  
possible on your hips. In a colli-  
sion, this spreads the force of the  
lap belt over stronger hip bones  
instead of across the weaker  
abdomen.  
.
All persons in the vehicle should  
fasten their seatbelts BEFORE  
the vehicle starts to move. Other-  
wise, the possibility of serious  
injury becomes greater in the  
event of a sudden stop or acci-  
dent.  
.
Seatbelts provide maximum re-  
straint when the occupant sits  
well back and upright in the seat.  
To reduce the risk of sliding  
under the seatbelt in a collision,  
the front seatbacks should be  
always used in the upright posi-  
tion while the vehicle is running.  
If the front seatbacks are not  
used in the upright position in a  
collision, the risk of sliding under  
the lap belt and of the lap belt  
sliding up over the abdomen will  
increase, and both can result in  
serious internal injury or death.  
.
.
All belts should fit snugly in order  
to provide full restraint. Loose  
fitting belts are not as effective in  
preventing or reducing injury.  
Each seatbelt is designed to sup-  
port only one person. Never use a  
single belt for two or more per-  
sons – even children. Otherwise,  
in an accident, serious injury or  
death could result.  
.
Replace all seatbelt assemblies  
including retractors and attach-  
ing hardware worn by occupants  
of a vehicle that has been in a  
serious accident. The entire as-  
sembly should be replaced even  
if damage is not obvious.  
.
Do not put cushions or any other  
materials between occupants  
and seatbacks or seat cushions.  
If you do so, the risk of sliding  
under the lap belt and of the lap  
belt sliding up over the abdomen  
will increase, and both can result

in serious internal injury or death.  
Secure ALL types of child restraint  
devices (including forward facing  
child restraint systems) in the REAR  
seats at all times.  
NEVER INSTALL A CHILD RE-  
STRAINT SYSTEM IN THE FRONT  
PASSENGER’S SEAT. DOING SO  
RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH  
TO THE CHILD BY PLACING THE  
CHILD’S HEAD TOO CLOSE TO THE  
SRS AIRBAG.  
! Infants or small children  
Use a child restraint system that is suitable  
for your vehicle. Refer to “Child restraint  
systems” �P60.  
! Children  
According to accident statistics,  
children are safer when properly  
restrained in the rear seating posi-  
tions than in the front seating posi-  
tions. For instructions and precau-  
tions concerning the child restraint  
system, refer to “Child restraint  
systems” �P60.  
WARNING  
Place children in the rear seat prop-  
erly restrained at all times. The SRS  
airbag deploys with considerable  
speed and force and can injure or  
even kill children, especially if they  
are not restrained or improperly  
restrained. Because children are  
lighter and weaker than adults, their  
risk of being injured from deploy-  
ment is greater. For that reason, we  
strongly recommend that ALL chil-  
dren (including those in child re-  
straint systems and those that have  
outgrown child restraint devices) sit  
in the REAR seat properly restrained  
at all times in a child restraint  
system or in a seatbelt, whichever  
is appropriate for the child’s height  
and weight.  
WARNING  
Never place the shoulder belt under  
the arm or behind the back. If an  
accident occurs, this can increase  
the risk or severity of injury.  
If a child is too big for a child restraint  
system, the child should sit in the rear seat  
and be restrained using the seatbelts.  
According to accident statistics, children  
are safer when properly restrained in the  
rear seating positions than in the front  
seating positions. Never allow a child to  
stand up or kneel on the seat.  
CAUTION  
Metallic parts of the seatbelt can  
become very hot in a vehicle that has  
been closed up in sunny weather;  
they could burn an occupant. Do not  
touch such hot parts until they cool.  
If the shoulder portion of the belt crosses  
the face or neck, move the child closer to

shoulder belt fit. Care must be taken to  
securely place the lap belt as low as  
possible on the hips and not on the child’s  
waist. If the shoulder portion of the belt  
cannot be properly positioned, a child  
restraint system should be used. Never  
place the shoulder belt under the child’s  
arm or behind the child’s back.  
When securing a child restraint system on  
the rear seats by the use of the seatbelt,  
the seatbelt must be changed over to the  
Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode.  
& Emergency Locking Retrac-  
tor (ELR)  
The driver’s seatbelt has an Emergency  
Locking Retractor (ELR).  
The emergency locking retractor allows  
normal body movement but the retractor  
locks automatically during a sudden stop,  
impact or if you pull the belt very quickly  
out of the retractor.  
When the child restraint system is re-  
moved, make sure that the seatbelt re-  
tracts fully and the retractor returned to the  
Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)  
mode.  
! Expectant mothers  
For instructions on how to convert the  
retractor to the ALR mode and restore it to  
the ELR mode, refer to “Installing child  
restraint systems with ALR/ELR seatbelt”  
�P65.  
& Automatic Locking Retractor/  
Emergency Locking Retrac-  
tor (ALR/ELR)  
Each passenger’s seatbelt has an Auto-  
matic Locking Retractor/Emergency Lock-  
ing Retractor (ALR/ELR). The Automatic  
Locking Retractor/Emergency Locking  
Retractor normally functions as an Emer-  
gency Locking Retractor (ELR). The ALR/  
ELR has an additional locking mode  
“Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)  
mode” intended to secure a child restraint  
system. When the seatbelt is once drawn  
out completely and is then retracted even  
slightly, the retractor locks the seatbelt in  
that position and the seatbelt cannot be  
extended. As the belt is rewinding, clicks  
will be heard which indicate the retractor  
functions as an ALR. When the seatbelt is  
retracted fully, the ALR mode is released.  
& Seatbelt warning light

Expectant mothers also need to use the  
seatbelts. They should consult their doctor  
for specific recommendations. The lap belt  
should be worn securely and as low as  
possible over the hips, not over the waist.

& System monitors  
Lap belt pretensioner  
A diagnostic system continually monitors  
the readiness of the seatbelt pretensioner  
with the ignition switch in the “ON” position.  
The seatbelt pretensioners share the  
control module with the SRS airbag  
system. Therefore, if any malfunction  
occurs in a seatbelt pretensioner, the  
SRS airbag system warning light will  
illuminate. For details, refer to “SRS airbag  
system monitors” �P105.  
The shoulder belt pretensioner is supple-  
mented by a lap belt pretensioner, which is  
located at the base of the center pillar. Like  
the shoulder belt pretensioner, the lap belt  
pretensioner instantaneously pulls in the  
belt to eliminate slack if a certain level of  
frontal collision force is detected. As a  
result, the seatbelt restrains the front seat  
occupant more effectively.  
Once the seatbelt pretensioner has been  
activated, the seatbelt retractor remains  
locked. Consequently, the seatbelt can not  
be pulled out and retracted and therefore  
must be replaced.

All child restraint systems are designed to  
be secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or  
the lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt  
(except those described in “Installation of  
child restraint systems by use of lower and  
.
Child restraint systems 61  
tether anchorages (LATCH)” �P71).  
Children could be endangered in an  
accident if their child restraint systems  
are not properly secured in the vehicle.  
When installing the child restraint system,  
carefully follow the manufacturer’s instruc-  
tions.  
According to accident statistics, children  
are safer when properly restrained in the  
rear seating positions than in the front  
seating positions.  
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces  
require that infants and small children be  
restrained in an approved child restraint  
system at all times while the vehicle is  
moving.

WARNING  
Never let a passenger hold a child on  
his or her lap or in his or her arms  
while the vehicle is moving. The  
passenger cannot protect the child  
(or infant) from injury in a collision,  
because the child will be caught  
between the passenger and objects  
inside the vehicle.  
WARNING  
.
.
Before installing a child restraint  
system, be sure to confirm that  
the seatback is securely locked  
into place. Otherwise, in an acci-  
dent, serious injury or death  
could result.  
Additionally, holding a child in your  
lap or arms in the front seat exposes  
that child to another serious danger.  
Since the SRS airbag deploys with  
considerable speed and force, the  
child could be injured or even killed.  
Do not leave children in the car  
unattended. High interior tem-  
peratures may cause heat stroke  
and dehydration that result in  
serious injury or death.

& Safety tips for installing child  
restraint systems  
.
Do not leave an unsecured child  
restraint system in your vehicle.  
Unsecured child restraint sys-  
tems can be thrown around in-  
side of the vehicle in a sudden  
stop, turn or accident; they can  
strike and injure vehicle occu-  
pants as well as result in serious  
injuries or death to the child.  
WARNING  
.
.
Child restraint systems and seat-  
belts can become hot in a vehicle  
that has been closed up in sunny  
weather; they could burn a small  
child. Check the child restraint  
system before you place a child  
in it.  
CAUTION  
Do not use a seatbelt extender. If  
a seatbelt extender is used when  
installing a child restraint sys-  
tem, the seatbelt will not securely  
hold the child restraint system.  
Use of a seatbelt extender could  
cause death or serious injury to  
children or other passengers in  
sudden braking, swerving, or  
accidents.  
WARNING  
When you install a child restraint  
system, follow the manufacturer’s  
instructions supplied with it. After  
installing the child restraint system,  
check to ensure that it is held  
securely in position. If it is not held  
tight and secure, the danger of your  
child suffering personal injury in the  
event of an accident may be in-  
creased.  
Children should be properly re-  
strained at all times. Never allow a  
child to stand up, or to kneel on any  
seat. Unrestrained children will be  
thrown forward during sudden stop  
or in an accident and can be injured  
seriously.  
.
Attach the child restraint system  
to the anchors properly. When  
using the LATCH anchors, be  
sure that there are no foreign  
objects around the anchors.  
Make sure the child restraint  
system is securely attached.  
Otherwise it may cause death or  
serious injury to children or other  
passengers in sudden braking,  
Additionally, children standing up or  
kneeling on or in front of the front  
seat are exposed another serious  
danger. Since the SRS airbag de-  
ploys with considerable speed and  
force, the child could be injured or  
even killed.  
Child restraint systems 63  
Some types of child restraint systems  
might not be able to be secured firmly  
due to projection of the seat cushion.  
In this seating position, you should use  
only a child restraint system that has a  
bottom base that fits snugly against the  
contours of the seat cushion and can be  
securely retained using the seatbelt.  
& Where to place a child re-  
straint system  
The following descriptions are SUBARU’s  
recommendations on where to place a  
child restraint system in your vehicle.  
WARNING  
.
Several types of child restraint  
systems may conceal the buckle  
of the neighboring seat. If the  
occupant of the neighboring seat  
cannot correctly fasten the seat-  
belt, that person must move to a  
different seat. If the seatbelt can-  
not be correctly fastened, there is  
the risk of serious injury or death  
in the event of sudden braking or  
a collision.

SINCE YOUR VEHICLE IS  
EQUIPPED WITH A PASSEN-  
GER’S SRS AIRBAG, NEVER IN-

RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR  
DEATH TO THE CHILD BY PLA-  
CING THE CHILD’S HEAD TOO

.
.
Do not use lower anchorages  
(bars) for a seat in the center  
seating position unless a child  
restraint system manufacturer’s  
instructions permit and specify  
using anchors spaced as far  
apart as those in this vehicle.  
WARNING  
.
Even with advanced airbags, chil-  
dren can be seriously injured by  
the airbag. Seat children in the  
rear seat properly restrained at  
all times. The SRS airbag deploys  
with considerable speed and  
force and can injure or even kill  
children, especially if they are not  
restrained or improperly re-  
strained. Because children are  
lighter and weaker than adults,  
their risk of being injured from  
deployment is greater.  
Do not connect two or more lower  
hooks onto the same anchorage  
(bar).  
.
Do not allow children to lean their  
heads or any other parts of their  
bodies against the door or the  
area of the seat, front and rear  
pillars or roof side rails. The SRS  
side airbags and SRS curtain  
airbags deploy even if children  
are seated in the child restraint  
system, and the impact could  
cause death or serious injury to  
the child.  
For that reason, be sure to secure  
ALL types of child restraint sys-  
tems (including forward facing  
child restraint systems) in the  
REAR seats at all times. You  
should choose a restraint system  
which is appropriate for the  
child’s age, height and weight.  
According to accident statistics,  
.
To secure the child restraint sys-  
tem, be sure to comply with all  
installation instructions provided  
by the child restraint system  
manufacturer. Not doing so could  
result in death or serious injury to  
children in a sudden stop or  
accident.

tether anchorages so that a child restraint  
system having a top tether can be installed  
in the rear seat. When installing a child  
restraint system using top tether, proceed  
as follows, while observing the instructions  
by the child restraint system manufacturer.  
Since a top tether can provide additional  
stability by offering another connection  
between a child restraint system and the  
vehicle, we recommend that you use a top  
tether whenever one is required or avail-  
able.

& General precautions regard-  
ing SRS airbag system  
WARNING  
.
To obtain maximum protection in  
the event of an accident, the  
driver and all passengers must  
always wear seatbelts when in  
the vehicle. The SRS airbag is  
designed only to be a supplement  
to the primary protection pro-  
vided by the seatbelt. It does not  
eliminate the need to fasten seat-  
belts. In combination with the  
seatbelts, it offers the best pro-  
tection in case of a serious acci-  
dent.  
WARNING  
WARNING  
Not wearing a seatbelt increases  
the chance of severe injury or  
death in a crash even when the  
vehicle has the SRS system.  
.
Do not sit or lean close to either  
front door. The SRS side airbags  
are stored in both front seat  
seatbacks next to the door, and  
they provide protection by de-  
ploying rapidly in the event of a  
side impact collision. However,  
the force of SRS side airbag  
deployment can injure an occu-  
pant whose body is too close to  
an SRS airbag.  
The SRS airbags deploy with con-  
siderable speed and force. Occu-  
pants who are not seated in proper  
upright position when the SRS air-  
bag deploys could suffer serious  
injury. Because the SRS airbag  
needs enough space for deploy-  
ment, the driver should always sit  
upright and back in the seat as far  
from the steering wheel as practical  
while still maintaining full vehicle  
control, and the front passenger  
should move the seat as far back  
For instructions and precautions  
concerning the seatbelt system,  
refer to “Seatbelts” �P48.  
.
The SRS side airbags and SRS  
curtain airbags are designed only  
to be a supplement to the primary  
protection provided by the seat-  
belt. They do not eliminate the  
need to fasten seatbelts. It is also  
important to wear a seatbelt to

Since your vehicle is equipped  
with SRS curtain airbags, do not

sit or lean close to the front or  
rear door on either side. Do not  
put body parts out of the window.  
The SRS curtain airbags on both  
sides of the cabin are stored in  
the roof side (between the front  
pillar and a point behind the rear  
quarter glass), and they provide  
protection by deploying rapidly  
in the event of a side impact,  
rollover or an offset frontal colli-  
sion. However, the force of its  
deployment can injure an occu-  
pant whose body is too close to  
an SRS airbag.  
bruises to the face or arms,  
because of the SRS airbag de-  
ployment force.  
CAUTION  
.
.
When the SRS airbag deploys,  
some smoke will be released.  
This smoke could cause breath-  
ing problems for people with a  
history of asthma or other breath-  
ing trouble. If you or your pas-  
sengers have breathing pro-  
blems after SRS airbag deploys,  
get fresh air promptly.  
A deploying SRS airbag releases  
hot gas. Occupants could get  
burned if they come into direct  
contact with the hot gas.  
.
Do not sit or lean unnecessarily  
close to the SRS airbag. Because  
the SRS airbag deploys with  
considerable speed and force to  
protect in high speed collisions,  
the force of an airbag can injure  
an occupant whose body is too  
close to SRS airbag.  
NOTE  
WARNING  
.
When you sell your vehicle, we urge  
you to inform the buyer that the  
vehicle is equipped with SRS air-  
bags. Also, notify the buyer of the  
applicable section in this Owner’s  
Manual.  
If the SRS airbag deploys, fuel  
supply will be cut off to reduce the  
risk of fire caused by leaking fuel.  
For details about restarting of the  
engine, refer to “If your vehicle is  
involved in an accident” �P442.  
.
.
Keep arms away from either front  
door or its internal trim. They  
could be injured in the event of  
SRS side airbag deployment.  
It is also important to wear seat-  
belts to help avoid injuries that  
can result when the SRS airbag  
contacts an occupant not in their  
proper position.  
Do not place any objects over or  
near the SRS airbag cover or  
between you and the SRS airbag.  
If the SRS airbag deploys, these  
objects could interfere with its  
proper operation and could be  
propelled inside the vehicle,  
causing injury.  
.
Even when properly positioned,  
there remains a possibility that  
an occupant may suffer minor  
injury, such as abrasions and

& General precautions regard-  
ing SRS airbag system for  
accessories and any objects  
WARNING  
.
Do not put any objects (including  
straps or cords) over the steering  
wheel pad, column cover, or  
dashboard.  
–
These objects could be en-  
tangled with the steering  
wheel, preventing the SRS  
frontal airbag, etc. from oper-  
ating properly.  
–
If the SRS frontal airbag de-  
ploys, these objects could be  
propelled inside the vehicle,  
causing injury.  
WARNING  
Do not attach accessories to the  
windshield or fit an extra-wide mir-  
ror over the inside rear view mirror. If  
the SRS airbag deploys, those ob-  
jects could become projectiles that  
could seriously injure vehicle occu-  
pants.  
.
.
Do not put any objects under the  
driver’s side of the instrument  
panel. If the SRS knee airbag  
deploys, those objects could in-  
terfere with its proper operation  
and could be propelled inside the  
vehicle, causing injury.  
The key must not be attached to  
heavy, sharp or hard acces-  
sories, or another key. If the SRS  
knee airbag deploys, those ob-  
jects could interfere with its  
proper operation and could be  
propelled inside the vehicle and

WARNING  
.
.
Do not attach accessories to the  
door trim or near either SRS side

near the SRS side airbags. In the  
event of SRS side airbag deploy-  
ment, they could be propelled  
dangerously toward the vehicle’s  
occupants and cause injuries.  
WARNING  
WARNING  
.
Do not put any kind of clothes or  
other objects over either front  
seatback and do not attach labels  
or stickers to the front seat sur-  
face on or near the SRS side

er deployment of the SRS side  
airbag, reducing protection avail-  
able to the front seat’s occupant.  
Do not hang coat hangers or other  
hard or pointed objects on the coat  
hook. If such items were hanging on  
the coat hooks during deployment  
of the SRS curtain airbags, they  
could cause serious injuries by  
coming off the coat hooks and being

airbag deploys with considerable  
speed and force and can injure or  
even kill children, especially if they  
are not restrained or improperly  
restrained. Because children are  
lighter and weaker than adults, their  
risk of being injured from deploy-  
ment is greater.  
.
Do not install a seat cover unless  
it is a genuine SUBARU seat  
cover exclusively designed for  
use with the SRS airbag. Even  
when using a genuine SUBARU  
seat cover, the SRS side airbag  
system may not function nor-  
mally if the seat cover is not  
installed correctly.  
For that reason, we strongly recom-  
mend that ALL children (including  
those in child seats and those that  
have outgrown child restraint sys-  
tems) sit in the REAR seat properly  
restrained at all times in a child  
restraint device or in a seatbelt,  
whichever is appropriate for the  
child’s age, height and weight.

! Operation  
The SRS airbags can function only when  
the ignition switch is in the “ON” position.  
The SUBARU advanced frontal airbag  
system is designed to determine the  
activation or deactivation condition of the  
front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag de-  
pending on the characteristic of item(s) or  
person on the front passenger’s seat  
monitored by the front passenger’s occu-  
pant detection system sensor. For this  
reason, only the driver’s SRS frontal  
airbag may deploy in the event of a  
collision, but this does not mean failure of  
the system.  
If the following sensors detect a predeter-  
mined amount of force during a frontal  
collision, the control module sends signals  
to the airbag module(s) (only driver’s  
module or both driver’s and front passen-  
ger’s modules) instructing the module(s) to  
inflate the SRS frontal airbag(s).

SRS AIRBAGs deploy as soon as a collision occurs.  
After deployment, SRS AIRBAGs start to deflate immediately so that the driver’s vision is not  
obstructed.  
SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System airbag) 95  
The driver’s and front passenger’s SRS  
frontal airbags use dual stage inflators.  
The two inflators of each airbag are  
triggered either sequentially or simulta-  
neously, depending on the severity of  
impact, in the case of the driver’s SRS  
frontal airbag and depending on the  
severity of impact and the characteristic  
of item(s) or person on the seat in the case  
of the front passenger’s SRS frontal air-  
bag.  
would not protect the occupant in those  
situations.  
CAUTION  
Do not touch the SRS airbag system  
components around the steering  
wheel and dashboard with bare  
hands right after deployment. Doing  
so can cause burns because the  
components can be very hot as a  
result of deployment.  
SRS airbag deployment depends on the  
level of force experienced in the passen-  
ger compartment during a collision. That  
level differs from one type of collision to  
another, and it may have no bearing on the  
visible damage done to the vehicle itself.

driver’s/driver’s and front pas-  
senger’s SRS frontal airbag(s)

! Example of the type of accident  
! After deployment  
The driver’s SRS frontal airbag and front  
passenger’s SRS frontal airbag are de-  
signed as follows.  
After deployment, the SRS airbag imme-  
diately starts to deflate so that the driver’s  
vision is not obstructed and the driver’s  
ability to maintain control of the vehicle is  
not impaired. The time required from  
detecting impact to the deflation of the  
SRS airbag after deployment is shorter  
than the blink of an eye.

involving a moderate to severe frontal  
collision

To function on a one-time-only basis  
The driver’s SRS frontal airbag and front  
passenger’s SRS frontal airbag are not  
designed as follows.  
Both when only the driver’s SRS frontal  
airbag deploys and the driver’s and front  
passenger’s SRS frontal airbags deploy,  
the driver’s and front passenger’s seatbelt  
pretensioners operate at the same time.

In an accident where the vehicle is  
impacted more than once, the driver’s

In a moderate to severe side impact  
collision, the SRS side airbag on the

and supplements the seatbelt by reducing  
the impact on the occupant’s chest and  
waist. The SRS side airbag operates only

! SRS curtain airbag  
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain  
airbag can function only when the ignition  
switch is in the “ON” position.  
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain  
airbag deploy even when no one occupies  
the seat on the side on which an impact is  
applied.  
Your vehicle is equipped with a SUBARU  
SRS curtain airbag system that complies  
with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety  
Standard (FMVSS) No. 226.  
The following airbags deploy indepen-  
dently of each other since each has its  
own impact sensor.  
When the SRS side airbag and SRS  
curtain airbag deploy, a sudden, fairly loud  
inflation noise will be heard and some  
smoke will be released. These occur-  
rences are a normal result of the deploy-  
ment. This smoke does not indicate a fire  
in the vehicle.  
The SRS curtain airbag on each side of the  
cabin is stored in the roof side (between  
the front pillar and a point over the rear  
seat). An “SRS AIRBAG” mark is located  
at the top of each center pillar.

Driver’s SRS side airbag  
Front passenger’s SRS side airbag  
SRS curtain airbag (right-hand side)  
SRS curtain airbag (left-hand side)  
In a moderate to severe side impact  
collision, the SRS curtain airbag on the  
impacted side of the vehicle deploys  
between the occupant and the side win-  
dow and supplements the seatbelt by  
reducing the impact on the occupant’s  
head.  
Therefore, they may not both deploy in the  
same accident. Also, the SRS side airbag  
and SRS curtain airbag deploys indepen-  
dently of the driver’s and front passenger’s  
SRS frontal airbags in the steering wheel  
and instrument panel.  
CAUTION  
Do not touch the SRS side airbag  
system components around the  
front seat seatback with bare hands  
right after deployment. Doing so can  
cause burns because the compo-  
nents can be very hot as a result of  
deployment.  
For the locations of the sensors and  
control modules, refer to “Components”  
�P84.  
In a rollover, SRS curtain airbags on both  
sides of the vehicle deploy between the  
occupant and the side window and supple-  
ment the seatbelt by reducing the impact to  
the occupant’s head.  
! After deployment  
After deployment, do not touch any  
part of the SRS curtain airbag sys-  
tem (from the front pillar to the part  
of the roof side over the rear seat).  
Doing so can cause burns because  
the components can be very hot as a  
result of deployment.  
After the deployment, the SRS side airbag  
immediately starts to deflate. The time  
required from detection of an impact to  
deflation of an SRS side airbag after  
deployment is shorter than the blink of an  
eye.  
In an offset frontal collision, SRS curtain  
airbags on both sides of the vehicle deploy
