2) Side airbag module (operating side seat back-
rest)
3) Side airbag sensor (operating side)
4) Curtain airbag module (operating side)
5) Curtain airbag sensor (operating side)
3. INSPECTION OF OTHER PARTS
Check for the following parts, and replace the dam-
aged parts with new parts.
1) Steering wheel and steering shaft
Check the steering shaft for mounting conditions
and deflection of front and rear, upward and down-
ward directions, and deflection of front and rear di-
rection with tilt lever released. (After a collision,
there is a good chance that the shock absorbing
part of steering shaft may have operated.)
2) Check the connectors of airbag module, preten-
sioner, etc. for damage, and also check each har-
ness for pinch and connector damage. Replace the
harness as a unit if damage is found.
3) Check the seat cushion frame, backrest, seat rail
and headrest for deformation, distortion, crack, and
installing condition and play.
4) For passengers seat, replace the seat cushion
frame assembly with new one if the seat cushion
frame is deformed or cracked.
5) If there are tears or loosening in the passenger
side seat cushion cover, it may interfere with the
proper operation of the passenger detection sys-
tem. Replace with a new cushion cover.
6) Be sure to perform the system calibration for the
occupant detection system after removing or re-
placing the passenger seat cushion cover. Failure
to do so may cause improper operation of the pas-
senger detection system. SYSTEM CALIBRATION (REZEROING), OPERA-
TION, Subaru Select Monitor.>
7) Use the Subaru Select Monitor to check whether
the drivers seat position sensor and the drivers and
the front left/right seat belt buckle switches are op-
erating normally.
B: INSPECTION
If the vehicle is involved in a collision, even if it is a
slight collision, be sure to check the following sys-
tems.
1. DRIVER’S AIRBAG MODULE
1) Check for the following, and replace the dam-
aged parts with new parts.
•Airbag module is cracked or deformed.
•Harness and/or connector is cracked, deformed
or open. Harness wire is exposed.
•The module surface is fouled with grease, oil,
water or cleaning solvent.
2) When installing a new driver’s airbag module,
check for the following, and replace the damaged
parts with new parts.
•The steering wheel is in the way, making it diffi-
cult to install the airbag module.
•The clearance between the driver’s airbag mod-
ule and steering wheel is not constant.
•When steering wheel deformation in axial and
vertical directions exceed limits.

General Description
HVAC SYSTEM (HEATER, VENTILATOR AND A/C)
C: CAUTION
1. HFC-134A A/C SYSTEM
•The cooling system components for the HFC-
134a system such as the refrigerant and compres-
sor oil are different from the conventional CFC-12
system components and they are incompatible with
each other.
•Vehicles with the HFC-134a system can be iden-
tified by the label (A) attached to the vehicle.
Before maintenance, check which A/C system is in-
stalled to the vehicle.
2. COMPRESSOR OIL
•HFC-134a compressor oil has no compatibility
with that of CFC-12 system.
•Use only Denso Oil 8, the manufacturer-autho-
rized compressor oil for the HFC-134a system.
•Do not mix multiple compressor oils.
If CFC-12 compressor oil is used in the HFC-134a
A/C system, the compressor may become stuck
due to poor lubrication, or the refrigerant may leak
due to swelling of rubber parts.
On the other hand, if HFC-134a compressor oil is
used in a CFC-12 A/C system, the durability of the
A/C system will be lowered.
•HFC-134a compressor oil is very hygroscopic.
When replacing or installing/removing A/C parts,
immediately isolate the oil from atmosphere using a
plug or tape. In order to avoid moisture, store the oil
in a container with its cap tightly closed.
3. REFRIGERANT
•CFC-12 refrigerant cannot be used in a HFC-
134a A/C system. HFC-134a refrigerant, also can-
not be used in a CFC-12 A/C system.
•If an incorrect or no refrigerant is used, it will re-
sult in poor lubrication and the compressor itself
may be damaged.
4. HANDLING OF REFRIGERANT
•The refrigerant boils at approx. –30°C (22°F).
When handling it, be sure to wear protective gog-
gles and protective gloves. Direct contact of the re-
frigerant with skin may cause frostbite.
If the refrigerant gets into your eye, avoid rubbing
your eyes with your hands. Wash your eye with
plenty of water, and receive medical treatment from
an eye doctor.
•Do not heat a service can. If a service can is di-
rectly heated, or put into boiling water, the inside
pressure will become extremely high. This may
cause the can to explode. If a service can must be
warmed up, use warm water of 40°C (104°F) or less.
•Do not drop or subject a service can to impacts.
(Observe the precautions and operation procedure
described on the refrigerant can.)
•When the engine is running, do not open the
high-pressure valve of the manifold gauge. High-
pressure gas can back-flow resulting in an explo-
sion of the can.
•Provide good ventilation and do not work in a
closed area.
•In order to prevent global warming, avoid releas-
ing HFC-134a into the atmosphere. Using a refrig-
erant recovery system, discharge and recycle the
gas.
