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
