■Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also
lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to
extend so that you can move around fully.
■Automatic locking retractor (ALR)
When a passenger's shoulder belt is completely extended and then
retracted even slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be
extended. This feature is used to hold the child restraint system (CRS) firmly.
To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull the belt out once
more. (oP. 138)
■Child seatbelt usage
The seatbelts of your vehicle are principally designed for persons of adult
size.
●Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child
becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seatbelt.
(oP. 134)
●When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's
seatbelt, follow the instructions on P. 58 regarding seatbelt usage.
■Seatbelt pretensioners
●Seatbelt pretensioners are not designed to activate in minor frontal or
side impact, in rear impacts or in roll-over accidents.
●The following four components operate simultaneously when the vehicle
is subjected to a severe frontal collision.
• Seatbelt pretensioner for driver
• Seatbelt pretensioner for front passenger
• SRS front airbag for driver
• SRS front airbag for front passenger*
*: This does not operate while the occupant detection system determines to
deactivate the airbag operation. For details, refer to “Front passenger’s
SRS frontal airbag” (oP. 9 7 )
●The following two components operate simultaneously when the vehicle
is subjected to a severe collision on the driver’s seat side of the vehicle.
• Seatbelt pretensioner for driver
• Side airbag for driver

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.
