■How to contact the vehicle manufacturer concerning modifications for
persons with disabilities that may affect the advanced airbag system
(U.S. only)
Changing or moving any parts of the front seats, rear seat, seatbelts, front
bumper, front side frame, radiator panel, instrument panel, combination
meter, steering wheel, steering column, tire, suspension or floor panel can
affect the operation of the SUBARU advanced airbag system. If you have
any questions, you may contact the following SUBARU distributors.

■Operation
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag can function only when the
ignition switch is in the “ON” position.
The driver’s and front passenger’s SRS side airbags and SRS curtain air-
bags deploy independently of each other since each has its own impact sen-
sor. Therefore, they may not both deploy in the same accident. Also, the
SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag deploys independently of the
driver’s and front passenger’s SRS front airbags in the steering wheel and
instrument panel.
An impact sensor, which senses impact force, is located in each of the left
and right center pillars, doors and rear wheel houses. Another impact sen-
sor, which also senses impact force, is located under the center of the rear
seats.
If the impact sensor that is located under the center of the rear seats and
one of the center pillar impact sensors or door impact sensors together
sense an impact force above a predetermined level in a side collision, the
control module causes both the SRS side airbag and curtain airbag on the
impacted side to inflate regardless of whether the rear wheel house impact
sensor on the same side senses an impact.
If the impact sensor that is located under the center of the rear seats and
one of the rear wheel house impact sensors together sense an impact force
above a predetermined level, the control module causes only the SRS cur-
tain airbag on the impacted side to inflate.
After the deployment, the SRS side airbag immediately starts to deflate. The
time required from detection of an impact to deflation of an SRS side airbag
after deployment is shorter than the blink of an eye.
The SRS curtain airbag remains inflated for a while following deployment
then slowly deflates.

WARNING
■SRS airbag precautions
●Do not touch any of the component parts immediately after the SRS air-
bags have deployed (inflated) as they may be hot.
●If breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbag has deployed, open a
door or window to allow fresh air in, or leave the vehicle if it is safe to do
so. Wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent skin irritation.
●If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel
pad and front and rear pillar garnishes, are damaged or cracked, have
them replaced by your SUBARU dealer.
■Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components
Do not dispose of your vehicle or perfo rm any of the following modifications
without consulting your SUBARU dealer.
The SRS airbags may malfunction or deploy (inflate) accidentally, causing
death or serious injury.
●Installation, removal, disassembly and repair of the SRS airbags.
●Repairs, modifications, removal or replacement of the steering wheel,
instrument panel, dashboard, seats or seat upholstery, front, side and rear
pillars or roof side rails.
●Repairs or modifications of the front fender, front bumper, or side of the
occupant compartment.
●Installation of snow plows, winches, etc. to the front grille (bull bars, kan-
garoo bar etc.).
●Modifications to the vehicle's suspension system.
●Installation of electronic devices such as mobile two-way radios and CD
players.
●Modifications to your vehicle for a person with a physical disability.

WARNING
■Front passenger occupant detection system precautions
●Never install a rearward facing child seat in the front passenger’s seat
even if the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag is deactivated. Be sure to
install it in the rear seat in a correct manner. Also, it is strongly recom-
mended that any forward facing child seat or booster seat be installed in
the rear seat, and that even children who have outgrown a child restraint
system be also seated in the rear seat. This is because children sitting in
the front passenger’s seat may be killed or severely injured should the
front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag deploy. SUBARU believes that the
rear seats are the safest place for children
●If luggage or electronic devices are placed on the front passenger seat,
the OFF indicator may turn off and the ON indicator may illuminate. If this
occurs, the front passenger’s airbag may deploy during a collision. If this is
not desirable, remove the luggage or el ectronic devices from the front pas-
senger seat.
●Modifications for persons with disabilities that may affect the front passen-
ger occupant detection system. (U.S. only) Removing, replacing or modify-
ing any parts of the front seats, seatbelts, front bumper, front side frame,
instrument panel, combination meter, steering wheel, steering column,
tires, suspension or floor panel can affect the operation of the SUBARU
front passenger occupant detection system.
