Maintenance and care
■Caring for leather areas
SUBARU recommends cleaning the interior of the vehicle at least twice a
year to maintain the quality of the vehicle’s interior.
■Shampooing the carpets
There are several commercial foaming-type cleaners available. Use a
sponge or brush to apply the foam. Rub in overlapping circles. Do not apply
water. Excellent results are obtained by keeping the carpet as dry as possi-ble.
■Seatbelts
Clean with mild soap and lukewarm water using a cloth or sponge. Also
check the belts periodically for excessive wear, fraying or cuts.
WARNING
■Water in the vehicle
●Do not splash or spill liquid in the vehicle.
Doing so may cause electrical components etc. to malfunction or catchfire.
●Do not get any of the SRS components or wiring in the vehicle interior wet. (→ P. 92)
Electrical malfunction may cause the airbags to deploy or not function
properly, resulting in death or severe injury.
■Cleaning the interior (especially instrument panel)
Do not use polish wax or polish cleaner. The instrument panel may reflect off
the windshield, obstructing the driver's view and leading to an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.

DANGER
■Airbag SRS
●Pour obtenir la protection maximum dans le cas d'un accident, le
conducteur et tous les passagers du véhicules doivent toujours porter
leurs ceintures de sécurité lorsque le véhicule est en mouvement. L'airbag
SRS est conçu uniquement comme un complément à la protection
principale fournie par la ceinture de sécurité. Il n'annule pas le besoin
d'attacher les ceintures de sécurité. En combinaison avec les ceintures de
sécurité, il apporte la meilleur protection cumulée en cas d'accident grave.
Ne pas porter de ceinture de sécurité augmente les risques de blessures
graves ou mortelles lors d'une collision, même lorsque le véhicule a les
airbags SRS.
●Ne pas s'asseoir ou s'appuyer trop près de l'airbag SRS. Parce que
l'airbag SRS se déploie à une vitesse considérable, encore plus
rapidement qu'en un clin d'œil, et à une force également considérable
pour vous protégez dans des collisions à grande vitesse, la puissance
d'un airbag peut blesser un occupant dont le corps serait trop près de
l'airbag SRS.
Il est également important de porter votre ceinture pour éviter les
blessures qui peuvent résulter de l'airbag SRS entrant en contact avec un
occupant dans une mauvaise position, comme projeté en avant lors du
freinage avant l'accident par exemple.
Même quand positionné correctement, il reste possible que l'occupant
souffre de blessures minimes, telles que des abrasions et des bleus au
visage ou aux bras à cause de la puissance de déploiement de l'airbag
SRS.
