coming from under the vehicle for several minutes. This is the sound of a fuel
evaporation leakage check and, it does not indicate a malfunction.

1-7. Safety information
WARNING
■SRS airbag
●Put children aged 12 and under in the
rear seat properly restrained at all
times. The SRS airbag deploys with
considerable speed and force and can
injure or even kill children, especially if
they are 12 years of age and under and
are not restrained or improperly
restrained. Because children are lighter
and weaker than adults, their risk of
being injured from deployment is
greater.
For that reason, we strongly recom-
mend that ALL children (including those
in child seats and those that have out-
grown child restraint devices) sit in the
REAR seat properly restrained at all
times in a child restraint device or in a
seatbelt, whichever is appropriate for
the child's age, height and weight.
Secure ALL types of child restraint
devices (including forward facing child
seats) in the REAR seats at all times.
According to accident statistics, chil-
dren are safer when properly restrained
in the rear seating positions than in the
front seating positions.
For instructions and precautions con-
cerning the child restraint system, refer
to “Child restraint systems”. (→P. 132)

■If the front passenger’s frontal airbag ON indicator illuminates and the
OFF indicator turns off even when an infant or a small child is in a child
restraint system (including booster seat)
Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position (vehicles without a keyless
access with push button start system), or turn the push-button ignition switch
off (vehicles with a keyless access with push button start system) if the front
passenger’s frontal airbag ON indicator illuminates and the OFF indicator
turns off even when an infant or a small child is in a child restraint system
(including booster seat). Remove the child restraint system from the seat. By
referring to the child restraint manufacturer’s recommendations as well as
the child restraint system installation procedures in “Child restraint systems”( → P. 132), correctly install the child restraint system. Turn the ignition switch
to the “ON” position (vehicles without a keyless access with push button start
system), or turn the push-button ignition switch to the “ON” mode (vehicles
with a keyless access with push button start system) and make sure that the
front passenger’s frontal airbag ON indicator turns off and the OFF indicator
illuminates.
If still the ON indicator remains illuminated while the OFF indicator turns off,
take the following actions.
●Ensure that no article is placed on the seat other than the child restraint
system and the child occupant.
●Ensure that the backward-forward position and seatback of front passen-
ger’s seat are locked into place securely by moving the seat back andforth.
If the ON indicator still remains illuminated while the OFF indicator turns off
after taking relevant corrective actions described above, relocate the child
restraint system to the rear seat and immediately contact your SUBARU
dealer for an inspection.
NOTE
When a child who has outgrown a child restraint system or a small adult is
seated in the front passenger’s seat, the SUBARU advanced frontal airbag
system may or may not activate the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag
depending on the occupant’s seating posture. The child should always wear
the seatbelt when sitting in the seat irrespective of whether the airbag is
deactivated or activated. If the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag is acti-
vated (the ON indicator remains illuminated while the OFF indicator turns
off), take the following actions.

Before driving
●Ensure that no article is placed on the seat other than the occupant.
If the ON indicator still remains illuminated while the OFF indicator turns off
despite the fact that the actions noted above have been taken, seat the
child/small adult in the rear seat and immediately contact your SUBARU
dealer for an inspection. Even if the system has passed the dealer inspec-
tion, it is recommended that on subsequent trips the child/small adult always
take the rear seat.
Children who have outgrown a child restraint system should always wear the
seatbelt irrespective of whether the airbag is deactivated or activated.
■Conditions in which front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag is activated
The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag will be activated for deployment
upon impact when any of the following conditions are met regarding the front
passenger’s seat.
●When the seat is occupied by an adult.
●When a certain item(s) (e.g. jug of water) is placed on the seat.
