the center of the head restraint is closest
to the top of the occupant’s ears.
CAUTION
. Each active head restraint is
effective only when its height is
properly adjusted and the driver/
passenger sits in the correct
position on the seat.
. If your vehicle is involved in a
rear-end collision, have an
authorized SUBARU dealer in-
spect 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 supportPull the lever forward or backward.
Pulling the lever forward will increase the
amount of support for your lower back.
Seat heater (if equipped)The seat heater is equipped in the front
seats.
The seat heater operates when the igni-
tion switch is in the “ON”position.
The seat heater can be adjusted in three
levels. Press the button to activate the
seat heater. Each subsequent press of the
button will reduce the level. Pushing the
button four times or keeping the button
pressed for approximately 1 second will
turn the heater off. While the seat heater is
operating, its operating level is shown by
the number of illuminated indicators. To
warm the seat as quickly as possible, set
the heater with three indicators illumi-
nated.
