– CONTINUED –
"Each active head restraint is effective only
when its height is properly adjusted and the
user sits in the correct position on the seat. " Each active head restraint is designed to
work only once. If your vehicle is involved in a
rear-end collision, have an authorized SUBARU
dealer inspect the active head restraints." The active head restraints may not operate in
the event the vehicle experiences only a slight
impact in the rear." The active head restraints may be damaged if
they are pushed hard from behind or subjected
to shock. As a result, they may not function if
the vehicle suffers a rear impact. !
Lumbar support (if equipped)
Pull the lever forward or backward.
Pulling the lever forward will increase the amount of
support for your lower back.
