WARNING
.Never adjust the seat while driv-ing to avoid loss of vehicle con-trol and personal injury.
.Before adjustingthe seat, makesure luggage and the hands andfeet of second-row seat passen-gers are clear of the adjustingmechanism.
.Do not put objects under the frontseats. They may interfere withfront seat locking and cause anaccident.
.Seatbelts provide maximum re-straint when the occupant sitswell back and upright in the seat.To r e d u c e t h e r i s k o f s l i d i n gunder the seatbelt in a collision,the front seatbacks should bealways used in the upright posi-tion while the vehicle is running.If the front seatbacks are notused in the upright position in acollision, the risk of sliding underthe lap belt and of the lap beltsliding up over the abdomen willincrease, and both can result inserious internalinjury or death.
.The SRS airbags deploy withconsiderable speed and force.Occupants who are out of properposition when the SRS airbagdeploys could suffer very seriousinjuries. Because the SRS airbagneeds enough space for deploy-ment, the driver should alwayssit upright and well back in theseat as far from the steeringwheel as practical while stillmaintaining full vehicle controland the frontpassenger shouldmove the seat as far back aspossible and sit upright and wellback in the seat.
WARNING
Put children aged 12 and under in arear seat properly restrained at alltimes. The SRS airbag deploys withconsiderable speed and force andcan injure or even kill children,especially if they are 12 years ofage and under and are not re-strained or improperly restrained.Because children are lighter andweaker than adults, their risk ofbeing injured from deployment isgreater. Consequently, we stronglyrecommend that ALL children (in-cluding those in child seats andthose that have outgrown child re-straint devices) sit in a REAR seatproperly restrained at all times in achild restraint device or in a seat-belt, whichever is appropriate forthe child’s age, height and weight.
Always secure ALL types of childrestraint devices (including forwardfacingchild seats) in one of the rearseating positions recommended inthis Owner’s Manual.
NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FA-CING CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONTSEAT. DOING SO RISKS SERIOUSINJURY OR DEATH TO THE CHILDBY PLACING THE CHILD’S HEAD

WARNING
.Never drive the vehicle with thehead restraints removed becausethey are designed to reduce therisk of serious neck injury in theevent that the vehicle is struckfrom the rear. Therefore, whenyou remove the head restraints,youmust reinstall all head re-straints to protect vehicle occu-pants.
.All occupants, including the dri-ver, should not operate a vehicleor sit in a vehicle’s seat until thehead restraints are placed in theirproper positions in order to mini-mize the risk of neck injury in the
event of a crash.
&Active head restraint
The front seats of your vehicle areequipped with active head restraints. Theyautomaticallytilt forward slightly in theevent the vehicle is struck from the rear,decreasing the amount of rearward headmovement and thus reducing the risk ofwhiplash. For maximum effectiveness thehead restraintshould be adjusted so thatthe center of the head restraint is closestto the top of the occupant’s ears.
CAUTION
.Each active head restraint iseffective only when its height isproperly adjusted and the driver/passenger sits in the correctposition on the seat.
.If your vehicle is involved in arear-end collision, have anauthorized SUBARU dealer in-spect the active head restraints.
.The active head restraints maynot operate in the event thevehicle experiences only a slightimpact in the rear.
.The activehead restraints may bedamaged if they are pushed hardfrom behind or subjected toshock. As a result, they may notfunction if the vehicle suffers arear impact.
