Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags/*SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System airbag)
& SUBARU advanced frontal
airbag systemYour vehicle is equipped with a SUBARU
advanced frontal airbag system that com-
plies with the new advanced frontal airbag
requirements in the amended Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
No. 208.
The SUBARU advanced frontal airbag
system automatically determines the de-
ployment force of the driver ’ s SRS frontal
airbag at the time of deployment as well as
whether or not to activate the front
passenger ’ s SRS frontal airbag and, if
activated, the deployment force of the
SRS frontal airbag at the time of deploy-
ment.
Your vehicle has warning labels on the
driver ’ s and front passenger ’ s sun visors
beginning with the phrase “ EVEN WITH
ADVANCED AIR BAGS ” and a tag
attached to the glove box lid beginning
with the phrase “ Even with Advanced Air
Bags ” . Make sure that you carefully read
the instructions on the warning labels and
tag.
Always wear your seatbelt. The SUBARU
advanced frontal airbag system is a
supplemental restraint system and must
be used in combination with a seatbelt. All
occupants should wear a seatbelt or be
seated in an appropriate child restraint system.
The driver ’ s SRS frontal airbag is stowed
in the center portion of the steering wheel.
The front passenger ’ s SRS frontal airbag
is stowed near the top of the dashboard
under an “ SRS AIRBAG ” mark. Also, the
driver ’ s knee airbag is stowed in the
bottom of the steering column.
In a moderate to severe frontal collision,
the following components deploy.
. SRS frontal airbag for driver
. SRS frontal airbag for front passenger
. Knee airbag for driver
. SRS curtain airbag *1
*1: When an offset frontal collision that is severe
enough to deploy the front airbag occurs.
These components supplement the seat-
belts by reducing the impact to the
occupant ’ s head, chest and knees. WARNINGNEVER INSTALL A FORWARD OR
REARWARD FACING CHILD SEAT
IN THE FRONT SEAT. DOING SO
RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH
TO THE CHILD BY PLACING THE
CHILD ’ S HEAD TOO CLOSE TO THE
SRS AIRBAG.1-38

& Safety precautions
WARNING
If you wear an implanted pacemaker
or an implanted defibrillator, stay at
least 8.7 in (22 cm) away from the
transmitting antennas installed on
the vehicle.
The radio waves from the transmit-
ting antennas on the vehicle could
adversely affect the operation of
implanted pacemakers and im-
planted defibrillators. If you wear electric medical equip-
ment other than an implanted pace-
maker or an implanted defibrillator,
before using the keyless access
with push-button start system, refer
to “ Radio waves used for the key-
less access with push-button start
system ” mentioned later, and con-
tact the electric medical equipment
manufacturer for more information.
The radio waves from the transmit-
ting antennas on the vehicle could
adversely affect the operation of the
electric medical equipment.
“ Radio waves used for the keyless
access with push-button start sys-
tem ”
. The keyless access with push-
button start system uses radio
waves of the following fre-
quency* in addition to the radio
waves used for the remote key-
less entry system. The radio
waves are periodically output
from the antennas installed on
the vehicle as shown in the
following illustrations.
* Radio frequency: 134 kHz2-10

1) Antenna
CAUTION
. Never leave or store the access
key inside the vehicle (e.g., on
the instrumental panel, inside the glove box, on the seat, in the
door pocket or on the rear shelf)
or within 6.6 ft (2 m) around the
vehicle (e.g., in the garage). The
access key may be locked inside
the vehicle, or the battery may
discharge rapidly. Note that the
push-button ignition switch may
not turn on in some cases de-
pending on the location of the
access key.
. The access key contains electro-
nic components. Observe the
following precautions to prevent
malfunctions.
– Although you can replace the
battery of the access key
yourself, it is recommended
that the battery be replaced by
a SUBARU dealer to avoid the
risk of damage at the time of
replacement.

If the access key gets wet,
wipe it off immediately and let
it dry completely.
– Do not apply strong impacts
to the access key.
– Keep the access key away

an ultrasonic washer.
– Do not leave the access key in
humid or dusty locations.
Doing so may cause malfunc-
tions.

Doing so may cause the ac-
cess key to malfunction, re-
sulting in battery discharge.

integrated mechanical key inside
may become loose. Be careful
not to lose the mechanical key.
. When you carry the access key
on an airplane, do not press the
button of the access key while in
the airplane. When any button of
the access key is pressed, radio
waves are sent and may affect
the operation of the airplane.
