&SRS airbag system monitors
A diagnostic system continually monitorsthe readiness of the SRS airbag system(including front seatbelt pretensioners)while the vehicle is being driven. TheSRS airbag system warning light“AIR-BAG”will show normal system operationby lighting for approximately 6 secondswhen the ignition switch is turned to the“ON”position.
The following components are monitoredby the indicator.
.Front sub sensor–Right-hand side–Left-hand side.Airbag control module (including im-pact and rolloversensors)
.Frontal airbag module–Driver’s side–Front passenger’s side.Side airbag sensor–Center pillar right-hand side–Center pillar left-hand side.Side airbag module–Driver’s side–Front passenger’s side.Curtain airbag sensor–Rear wheel house right-hand side–Rear wheel house left-hand side.Curtain airbag module–Right-hand side–Left-hand side.Satellite safing sensor (under the sec-ond-row center seat)
.Seatbelt pretensioner–Driver’s side–Front passenger’s side.Seatbelt buckleswitch (front passen-ger’s side)
.Front passenger’sseatbelttensionsensor
.Front passenger’s occupant detectionsystem weight sensor
.Front passenger’s occupant detectioncontrolmodule
.Front passenger’s frontal airbag ONand OFF indicator
.All related wiring
WARNING
If the warning light exhibits any ofthe following conditions, there maybe a malfunction in the seatbeltpretensioners and/or SRS airbagsystem. Immediately take your vehi-cle to your nearest SUBARU dealerto have the system checked. Unlesschecked and properly repaired, theseatbelt pretensioners and/or SRSairbags will operate improperly (e.g.SRS airbags may inflate in a veryminor collision or not inflate in asevere collision), which may in-crease the risk of injury.

&SRS airbag system servicing
WARNING
.When discarding an airbag mod-ule or scrapping the entire vehi-cle damaged by a collision, con-sult your SUBARU dealer.
.The SRS airbag has no user-serviceable parts. Do not useelectrical test equipment on anycircuit related to the SRS airbagsystem. For required servicing ofthe SRS airbag, consult yournearest SUBARU dealer. Tamper-ing with or disconnecting thesystem’s wiring could result inaccidental inflation of the SRSairbag or could make the systeminoperative, which may result inserious injury.
CAUTION
If you need service or repair in areasindicated in the following list, havethe work performed by an author-ized SUBARU dealer. The SRS air-bag control module, impact sensorsand airbag modules are stored inthese areas.
.Under the center console
.Inside each front fender
.Steering wheel and column andnearby areas
.Top of the dashboard on frontpassenger’ssideandnearbyareas
.Each front seat and nearby area
.Inside each center pillar
.In each roof side (from the frontpillar to a point over the second-row seat)
.Between the second-row seatcushion and rear wheel houseon each side
.Under the second-row centerseat
In the event that the SRS airbag isdeployed, replacement of the systemshould be performed only by an author-ized SUBARU dealer. When the compo-nents of the SRS airbag system arereplaced, use only genuine SUBARUparts.
NOTE
In the following cases, contact yourSUBARU dealer as soon as possible.
.The front part of the vehicle was
involved in an accident in which onlythe driver’s SRS frontal airbag or bothdriver’sandfrontpassenger’sSRSfrontal airbags did not deploy..The pad of the steering wheel, thecover over the front passenger’s SRSfrontal airbag, or either roof side (fromthe front pillar to a point over thesecond-row seat) is scratched,cracked, or otherwise damaged..Center pillar, rear wheel house orrearfloor pan, or an area near theseparts, was involved in an accident inwhich the SRS side airbag and SRScurtain airbag did not deploy..The fabric or leather of either frontseatback is cut, frayed, or otherwisedamaged..The rear part of the vehicle wasinvolved in an accident in which noSRS airbag was deployed.
&Precautions against vehicle
modification
WARNING
To avoid accidental activation of thesystem or rendering the systeminoperative, which may result inserious injury, no modificationsshould be made to any components

or wiring of the SRS airbag system.
This includes following modifica-tions.
.Installation of custom steeringwheels
.Attachment of additional trimmaterials to the dashboard
.Installation of custom seats
.Replacement of seat fabric orleather
.Installation of additional fabric orleather on the front seat
.Attachment of a hands-free mi-crophone or any other accessoryto a front pillar, a center pillar, arear pillar, the windshield, a sidewindow, an assist grip, or anyother cabin surface that would benear a deploying SRS curtainairbag.
.Installation of additional electri-cal/electronic equipment such asa mobile two-way radio on ornear the SRS airbag systemcomponents and/or wiring is notadvisable. This could interferewith proper operation of theSRS airbag system.
CAUTION
Do not perform any of the followingmodifications. Such modificationscan interfere with proper operationof the SRS airbag system.
.Attachment of any equipment(bush bar, winches, snow plow,skid plate, etc.) other than genu-ine SUBARU accessory parts.
.Modificationof the suspensionsystem or front end structure.
.Installation of a tire of differentsize and construction from thetires specified on the vehicleplacardattached to the driver’sdoor pillar or specified for indivi-dual vehicle models in this Own-er’s Manual.

&Seatbelt warning light
and chime
Your vehicle is equipped with a seatbeltwarning device at the driver’s and frontpassenger’s seat.
With the ignition switch turned to the“ON”position, this device reminds the driverand front passenger to fasten their seat-belts by illuminating the warning lights inthe locations indicated in the followingillustrationsand sounding a chime.
Driver’s warning light
Front passenger’s warning light
!Operation
If the driver and/or front passenger have/has not yet fastened the seatbelt(s) when
the ignition switch is turned to the“ON”position, the seatbelt warning light(s) willflash for 6 seconds, to warn that theseatbelt(s) is/are unfastened. If the dri-ver’s seatbelt is not fastened, a chime willalso sound simultaneously.
NOTE
.If the driver’s and/or front passen-ger’s seatbelt(s) is/are still not fastened6 seconds later, the seatbelt warningdevice operates as follows accordingto the vehicle speed.–At speeds lower than approxi-mately 9 mph (15 km/h)The warning light(s) for unfastenedseatbelt(s) will alternate betweensteady illumination and flashing at15-second intervals. The chime willnot sound.–At speeds higher than approxi-mately 9 mph (15 km/h)The warning light(s) for unfastenedseatbelt(s) will alternate betweenflashing and steady illumination at15-second intervals and the chimewill sound while the warning light(s)is/are flashing..It is possible to cancel the warningoperation that follows the 6-secondwarningafter turning ON the ignitionswitch. When the ignition switch is

turned ON next time, however, thecomplete sequence of the warningoperation resumes. For further detailsabout canceling the warning operation,please contact your SUBARU dealer.
If there is no passenger on the frontpassenger’s seat, the seatbelt warningdevice for the front passenger’s seat willbe deactivated. The front passenger’soccupant detection system monitorswhetheror not there is a passenger onthe front passenger’s seat. Observe thefollowing precautions. Failure to do somay prevent the device from functioningcorrectly or cause the device to fail.
.Do not install any accessory such as atable or TV onto the seatback.
.Do not store a heavy load in theseatback pocket.
.Do not allow the second-row seatoccupant to place his/her hands or legson the front passenger’s seatback, orallow him/her to pull the seatback.
If the seatbelt warning device for the frontpassenger’s seat does not function cor-rectly (e.g., it is activated even when thefront passenger’s seat is empty or it isdeactivated even when the front passen-ger has not fastened his/her seatbelt),take the following actions.
.Ensure that no article is placed on the
seat other than a child restraint systemand its child occupant.
.Ensure that there is no article left in theseatback pocket.
If still the seatbelt warning device for frontpassenger’s seat does not function cor-rectly after taking relevant corrective ac-tions describedabove, immediately con-tact your SUBARU dealer for an inspec-tion.
