tank:
●Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck
●Stop filling the tank after the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off
●Do not top off the fuel tank
●Observe other precautions that are posted at the service station.
●Turn the cap to the right until it clicks to ensure that it is fully tightened. If
the cap is not securely tightened, fuel spillage could occur in the event of
an accident, creating a fire hazard.

Do not use anything but a genuine fuel tank cap designed for your vehicle.
Doing so may cause a fire or other incident which may result in death or seri-
ous injury.

1-7. Safety information
The front passenger’s frontal airbag ON and OFF indicators show
you the status of the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag. When
the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position, (vehicles without a
keyless access with push button start system), or the push-button
ignition switch is turned to “ON” mode (vehicles with a keyless
access with push button start system), both the ON and OFF indi-
cators illuminate for 6 seconds during the system check. After the
system check, both the ON and OFF indicators turn off for 2 sec-
onds. Then, either the ON or OFF indicator illuminates depending
on the condition of the front passenger’s frontal airbag.
When the OFF indicator remains off and ON indicator illuminates,
the front passenger’s frontal airbag may deploy during a collision.
When the OFF indicator illuminates and ON indicator remains off,
the front passenger’s frontal airbag does not deploy during a colli-
sion.
If the front passenger’s frontal airbag ON and OFF indicators
remain on when the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position
(vehicles without a keyless access with push button start system)
or the push-button ignition switch is turned to “ON” mode (vehicles
with a keyless access with push button start system), or the indica-
tors remain off after the system check, the system may be malfunc-
tioning. Have the vehicle inspected by your SUBARU dealer
immediately.
After that, one of the indicators illuminates depending on the status
of the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag determined by the
SUBARU advanced frontal airbag monitoring system.
