!Seatbelt warning light and chime
Your vehicle is equipped with a seatbelt warning de-
vice at the driver’s and front passenger’s seat.
With the ignition switch turned to the “ON” position,
this device reminds the driver and front passenger to
fasten their seatbelts by illuminating the warning lights
in the locations indicated below and sounding a chime.
Driver: Instrument panel Front passenger: Between map lights !
Operation
If the driver and/or front passenger have/has not yet
fastened the seatbelt(s) when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position, the seatbelt warning
light(s) will flash for 6 seconds, to warn that the seat-
belt(s) is/are unfastened. If the driver’s seatbelt is not
fastened, a chime will also sound simultaneously.
If the driver’s and/or front passenger’s seatbelt(s) are/
is still not fastened 6 seconds later, both warning lights
or the warning light for the unfastened seatbelt will re-
main lit for 15 seconds. If the driver’s and/or front pas-
senger’s seatbelt(s) are/is still not fastened even 15

seconds later (21 seconds after turning ON the ignition
switch), the warning lights will alternate between flash-
ing and steady illumination at 15-second intervals, and
the chime will sound while the warning light(s) is/are
flashing.
Alternate flashing and steady illumination of the warn-
ing lights and sounding of the chime will continue until
both driver and front passenger fasten their seatbelts.
NOTE "
If the driver and/or front passenger unfasten(s)
the seatbelt(s) after fastening, the seatbelt warn-
ing device operates as follows according to the
vehicle speed. "At speeds lower than approximately 9 mph (15
km/h)The warning light(s) for unfastened seatbelt(s)
will alternate between flashing and steady illu-
mination at 15-second intervals. The chime will
not sound. " At approximately 9 mph (15 km/h) or higher
speeds The warning light(s) for unfastened seatbelt(s)
will alternate between flashing and steady illu-
mination at 15-second intervals and the chime
will sound while the warning light(s) is/are flash-
ing.
" It is possible to cancel the warning operation that follows the 6-second warning after turning ON
the ignition switch by unfastening and refastening
the driver’s seatbelt. When the ignition switch is
turned ON next time, however, the complete se-
quence of warning operation resumes. For further
details about canceling the warning operation,
please contact your SUBARU dealer.
If there is no passenger on the front passenger’s seat,
the seatbelt warning device for front passenger’s seat
will be deactivated. The front passenger’s occupant
detection system monitors whether or not there is a
passenger on the front passenger’s seat.
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so
may prevent the device from functioning correctly or
cause the device to fail. "
Do not install any accessory such as a table or TV
onto the seatback. " Do not store a heavy load in the seatback pocket.
" Do not allow the rear seat occupant to place his/her
hands or legs on the front passenger’s seatback, or al-
low him/her to pull the seatback. " Do not use front seats with their backward-forward
position and seatback not being locked into place se-
curely. If any of them are not locked securely, adjust
them again. For adjusting procedure, refer to the
“Manual seat” in the front seats section in Chapter 1 in
this owner’s manual. (Models equipped with manual

! System monitors
SRS airbag system warning light
A diagnostic system continually monitors the readi-
ness of the seatbelt pretensioner while the vehicle is
being driven. The seatbelt pretensioners share the
control module with the airbag system. Therefore, if
any malfunction occurs in a seatbelt pretensioner, the
SRS airbag system warning light will illuminate. The
SRS airbag system warning light will show normal sys-
tem operation by lighting for about 7 seconds when the ignition key is turned to the “ON” position.
