2014 SUBARU TRIBECA steering wheel

Ahands-freemicrophoneorother accessory in such a loca-tion could be propelled throughthe cabin with great force by thecurtain airbag, or it could preventcorrect deployment of the curtainairbag. In either case, the resultcould be serious injuries.
WARNING
Do not hang coat hangers or otherhard or pointed objects on the coathooks. If such items were hangingon the coat hooks during deploy-ment of the SRS curtain airbags,they could cause serious injuries bycoming off the coat hooks and beingthrown through the cabin or by
preventing deployment of the cur-tain airbags.
Before hanging clothing on the coathooks, make sure there are no sharpobjects in the pockets. Hang cloth-ing directly on the coat hooks with-out using hangers.
WARNING
Do not put any kind of cover orclothes or other objects over eitherfront seatback and do not attachlabels or stickers to the front seatsurface on or near the SRS sideairbag. They could prevent properdeployment of the SRS side airbag,reducingprotection available to the
front seat’s occupant.
!Operation
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtainairbag can function only when the ignitionswitch is in the“ON”position.
The driver’s and front passenger’s SRSside airbags and SRS curtain airbagsdeploy independently of each other be-cause each has its own impact sensor.Therefore, they may not both deploy in thesame accident. Also, the SRS side airbagand SRS curtain airbag deploys indepen-dently of the driver’s and front passen-ger’s SRS frontal airbags in the steeringwheel and instrument panel.
An impact sensor, which senses impactforce, is located in each of the left and

While the engine is warming up, makesure that the select lever is at the“P”or“N”position and that the parking brake isapplied.
NOTE
.The engine may be difficult to startwhen the battery has been discon-nected and reconnected (for mainte-nance or other purposes). This diffi-culty is caused by the electronicallycontrolled throttle’sself-diagnosisfunction. To overcome it, keep theignition switch in the“ON”positionfor approximately 10 seconds beforestartingthe engine..To p r o t e c t t h e e n g i n e w h i l e t h eselect lever is in the“P”or“N”position, the engine is controlled sothat the engine speed may not becometoo high even if the accelerator pedal isdepressed hard.
Stopping the engine
WARNING
Do not stop the engine when thevehicle is moving. This will causeloss of power to the power steeringand the brakebooster, making steer-ing and braking more difficult. Itcould also result in accidental acti-vation of the“LOCK”position on theignition switch, causing the steeringwheel to lock.
The ignition switch should be turned offonly whenthe vehicle is stopped and theengine is idling.
