WARNING
■Seatbelt damage and wear
●Do not damage the seatbelts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be
jammed in the door.
●Inspect the seatbelt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose
parts. Replace a damaged seatbelt immediately. Damaged seatbelts can-
not protect an occupant from death or serious injury.
●Ensure that the belt and plate are locked and the belt is not twisted.
If the seatbelt does not function correctly, immediately contact your
SUBARU dealer.
●Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has been
involved in a serious accident, even if there's no obvious damage.
●Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of the
seatbelts. Have any necessary repairs carried out by your SUBARU
dealer. Inappropriate handling of the pretensioner may prevent it from
operating properly, resulting in death or serious injury.
■When using the seatbelt guide
●Always make sure that the belt is not twisted, and runs freely through the
guide.
●Regardless of whether the guide is used or not, always secure the seatbelt
guide button.
●Do not hang from or pull the guide forcefully.
■Before using the rear seatbelts
●Always make sure that the seatbelt is
not caught in the seatback or twisted in
one of the hooks that secure the seat-
back. Failure to do so may cause the
seatbelt to not be fastened correctly or
to become ineffective in a collision,
resulting in serious injury.

Before driving
WARNING
■While driving
●Do not adjust the position of the driver's seat.
Doing so could cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
●Do not place a cushion between the driver or passenger and the seatback.
A cushion may prevent correct posture from being achieved, and reduce
the effectiveness of the seatbelt and head restraint, increasing the risk of
death or serious injury to the driver or passenger.
●Do not place anything under the front seats.
Objects placed under the front seats may become jammed in the seat
tracks and stop the seat from locking in place. This may lead to an acci-
dent resulting in serious injury or death. The adjustment mechanism may
also be damaged.
■Adjusting the seat position
●Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passen-
gers are not injured by the moving seat.
●Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid
injury.
Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism.

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. 133)
