1. Remove the head restraint at the seating position
where the child seat has been installed with the seat-
belt or lower anchorages; lift up the head restraint
while pressing the release button.
Store the head restraint in the trunk. Avoid placing the
head restraint in the passenger compartment to pre-
vent it from being thrown around in the passenger
compartment in a sudden stop or a sharp turn.

struck from side or from behind, or if it rolls onto its
side or roof, or if it is involved in a low-speed frontal
collision.
A) First impact
B) Second impact
In an accident where the vehicle is impacted more
than once, the driver’s and/or front passenger’s SRS
frontal airbag(s) will deploy only once on the first im-
pact.
Example: In the case of a double collision, first with an-
other vehicle, then against a concrete wall in immedi-
ate succession, once either or both of the driver’s and
front passenger’s SRS frontal airbags is/are activated on the first impact, it/they will not be activated on the
second impact. !
SRS side airbag and SRS curtain air- bag
The SRS side airbag is stored in the door side of each
front seatback, which bears an “SRS AIRBAG” label.
In a moderate to severe side impact collision, the SRS
side airbag on the impacted side of the vehicle de-
ploys between the occupant and the door panel and
supplements the seatbelt by reducing the impact on
the occupant’s chest.
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 lo-
cated at the top of each center pillar.
In a moderate to severe side impact collision, the SRS
curtain airbag on the impacted side of the vehicle de-
ploys between the occupant and the side window and
supplements the seatbelt by reducing the impact on
the occupant’s head.
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag are
designed as only a supplement to the primary
protection provided by the seatbelt. It does not

do away with the need to fasten seatbelts. It is
also important to wear your seatbelt to help
avoid injuries that can result when an occupant
is not seated in a proper upright position.
"Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to ei-
ther front door. The SRS side airbag is stored in
both front seat seatbacks next to the door, and
it provides protection by deploying rapidly
(faster than the blink of an eye) in the event of a
side impact collision. However, the force of SRS side airbag deployment may cause injuries
if your head or other body parts are too close to
the SRS side airbag. "
Since your vehicle is equipped with SRS cur-
tain airbags, do not sit or lean unnecessarily
close to the front or rear door on either side.
The SRS curtain airbag on each side of the cab-
in is stored in the roof side (between the front
pillar and a point over the rear seat), and it pro-
vides protection by deploying rapidly (faster
than the blink of an eye) in the event of a side
impact. However, the force of its deployment
may cause injuries if your head is too close to
it.

Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
Do not touch the SRS side airbag system com-
ponents around the front seatback with bare
hands right after deployment. Doing so can
cause burns because the components can be
very hot as a result of deployment.
After deployment, do not touch any part of the
SRS curtain airbag system (from the front pillar
to the part of the roof side over the rear seat).
Doing so can cause burns because the compo-
nents can be very hot as a result of deployment.
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag are de-
signed to deploy in the event of an accident involving
a moderate to severe side impact collision. It is basi-
cally not designed to deploy in lesser side impact. Al-
so, it is basically not designed to deploy in frontal or
rear impacts because SRS side airbag and SRS cur-
tain airbag deployment would not help the occupant in
those situations.
Each SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag are de-
signed to function on a one-time-only basis.
SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag deployment
depend on the level of force experienced in the pas-
senger compartment during a side impact 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. "
Example of the type of accident in which the
SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag will
most likely deploy.
A severe side impact near the front seat activates the
SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag.

!SRS airbag system servicing
"When discarding an airbag module or scrap-
ping the entire vehicle damaged by a collision,
consult your SUBARU dealer. " The SRS airbag has no user-serviceable
parts. Do not use electrical test equipment on
any circuit related to the SRS airbag system.
For required servicing of the SRS airbag, see
your nearest SUBARU dealer. Tampering with
or disconnecting the system’s wiring could re-
sult in accidental inflation of the SRS airbag or
could make the system inoperative, which may
result in serious injury. The wiring harnesses of
the SRS airbag system are covered with yellow
insulation and system connectors are yellow
for easy identification.
If you need service or repair in areas listed be-
low, have an authorized SUBARU dealer per-
form the work. The SRS airbag control module,
impact sensors and airbag modules are stored
in these areas. "
Under the center console
" Inside each front fender
" Steering wheel and column and nearby areas
" Top of the dashboard on front passenger’s
side and nearby areas" Each front seat and nearby area
" Inside each center pillar
" In each roof side (from the front pillar to a

In the event that the SRS airbag is deployed, re-
placement of the system should be performed
only by an authorized SUBARU dealer. When the
components of the SRS airbag system are re-
placed, use only genuine SUBARU parts.
NOTE
In the following cases, contact your SUBARU deal-
er as soon as possible. " The front part of the vehicle was involved in an
accident in which the only the driver’s SRS frontal
airbag or both driver’s and front passenger’s SRS
frontal airbags did not deploy." The pad of the steering wheel, the cover over the

aged. "
Either center pillar and rear wheel house or a
nearby area of the vehicle was involved in an acci-
dent in which the SRS side airbag and SRS curtain
airbag did not deploy. " The fabric or leather of either front seatback is
cut, frayed, or otherwise damaged. ! Precautions against vehicle modifica- tion
"To avoid accidental activation of the system
or rendering the system inoperative, which may
result in serious injury, no modifications
should be made to any components or wiring of
the SRS airbag system.
This includes following modifications: "Installation of custom steering wheels
" Attachment of additional trim materials to
the dashboard " Installation of custom seats
" Replacement of seat fabric or leather
" Installation of additional fabric or leather on the front seat "
Attachment of a hands-free microphone or
any other accessory to a front pillar, a center
pillar, a rear pillar, the windshield, a side win-
dow, an assist grip, or any other cabin sur-
face that would be near a deploying SRS cur-
tain airbag.
" Installation of additional electrical/electronic
equipment such as a mobile two-way radio on
or near the SRS airbag system components
and/or wiring is not advisable. This could inter-
fere with proper operation of the SRS airbag
system.
Do not perform any of the following modifica-
tions. Such modifications can interfere with
proper operation of the SRS airbag system. " Attachment of any equipment (bush bar,
winches, snow plow, skid plate, etc.) other than
genuine SUBARU accessory parts. " Modification of the suspension system or
front end structure. " Installation of a tire of different size and con-
struction from the tires specified on the vehicle
