WARNING
■People with a medical condition
Obtain medical advice and wear the seatbelt in the proper way.
■When children are in the vehicle
Do not allow children to play with the seatbelt. If the seatbelt becomes
twisted around a child’s neck, it may lead to choking or other serious injuries
that could result in death.
If this occurs and the buckle cannot be unfastened, scissors should be used
to cut the belt.
■Seatbelt pretensioners
If the pretensioner has activated, the SRS airbag system warning light will
come on. In that case, the seatbelt cannot be used again and must be
replaced at your SUBARU dealer.

Before driving
Also, if luggage or electronic devices are placed on the front passenger’s
seat, this may adversely affect the ability of the system to determine deploy-
ment. This may prevent the front passenger’s frontal airbag ON and OFF
indicators from working properly. Check that the indicators work properly.
When the OFF indicator turns off and the ON indicator illuminates, the front
passenger’s frontal airbag may deploy during a collision. Remove luggage
and electronic devices from the front passenger’s seat.
NOTE
This device complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules. This device may cause
interference. If this device causes interference, consult the nearest SUBARU
dealer. Also, for maintenance of the system, consult the nearest SUBARU
dealer.
■Conditions in which front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag is not acti-
vated
The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag will not be activated when any of
the following conditions are met regarding the front passenger’s seat:
●The seat is empty.
●The seat is equipped with an appropriate child restraint system and an
infant is restrained in it.
●The occupant changed their posture after the occupant load is judged.
●The front passenger’s occupant detection system is malfunctioning.
WARNING
When the front passenger’s seat is occupied by an infant in an appropriate
child restraint system, observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may
interfere with the proper operation of the occupant detection system, activating
the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag even though that seat is occupied by
the infant in the child restraint system.
●Do not place any article (including electronic devices) on the seat other than
the infant in the child restraint system.
●Do not place more than one infant in the child restraint system.
