Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags/Child restraint systems
secure, the danger of your child
suffering personal injury in the
event of an accident may be
increased.
.When installing a child restraint
system in the rear center seating
position, set both seatbacks to
the original position. Otherwise,
the child restraint system cannot
be securely restrained, which
may result in death or serious
injuries in the event of sudden
stop, sudden steering maneuver
or an accident.
!Installing a rearward facing child
restraint
1. Place the child restraint system in therear seating position.
2. Run the lap and shoulder belt through
or around the child restraint system
following the instructions provided by its
manufacturer.
3. Insert the tongue plate into the buckle
until you hear a click.
4. Take up the slack in the lap belt.
5. If using the seatbelt in the ALR mode
is recommended by the manufacturer’s
instructions supplied with the child re-
straint system, perform the following pro-
cedure.
(1) Pull out the seatbelt fully from the
retractor to change the retractor over from
the Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
to the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
mode.(2) Allow the belt to rewind into the
retractor. As the belt is rewinding, clicks
will be heard which indicate the retractor
functions as ALR.
6. Push and pull the child restraint
system forward and from side to side to
check if it is firmly secured. Sometimes a
child restraint can be more firmly secured
by pushing it down into the seat cushion
and then tightening the seatbelt.
7. Pull at the shoulder portion of the belt
to confirm that it cannot be pulled out (ALR
properly functioning).

10. Latch the top tether hook onto the
tether anchorage that is located behind
the rear seat and tighten the top tether
firmly. For additional instructions, refer to
“Top tether anchorages”F1-36.
11. To remove the child restraint system,press the release button on the seatbelt
buckle and allow the belt to retract
completely. The belt will return to the
ELR mode.
If you have installed a child restraint
system for therear center seating posi-
tion, when you remove the child restraint
system, the seatbelt may not be restored
to the ELR mode even if the seatbelt is
retracted. In this case, lower the head
restraint to the retracted position to allow
the seatbelt to retract moreover. The
seatbelt will return to the ELR mode.
Remember that the head restraint is not
intended to be used at the lowest position
(retracted position). Therefore, when the
rear center seat is occupied (including
when a child restraint system is installed)
next time, be sure to raise the head
restraint to the extended position.
NOTE
When the child restraint system is no
longer in use, remove it and restore the
ELR function of the retractor. That
function is restored by allowing the
seatbelt to retract fully.
&Installing a booster seat
WARNING
.Child restraint systems and seat-
belts can become hot in a vehicle
that has been closed up in sunny
weather; they could burn a small
child. Check the child restraint
system before you place a child
in it.
.Do not leave an unsecured child
restraint system in your vehicle.
Unsecured child restraint sys-
tems can be thrown around in-
side of the vehicle in a sudden
stop, turn or accident; they can
strike and injure vehicle occu-
pants as well as result in serious
injuries or death to the child.
CAUTION
When you install a child restraint
system, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions supplied with it. After
installing the child restraint system,
check to ensure that it is held
securely in position. If it is not held
tight and secure, the danger of your
child suffering personal injury in the
event of an accident may be in-

Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags/*SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System airbag)
!Examples of the types of acci-
dents in which the driver’s/dri-
ver’s and front passenger’s SRS
frontal airbag(s) are not de-
signed to deploy in most cases
The driver’s and front passenger’s SRSfrontal airbags are not designed to deploy
in most of the following cases.
.If the vehicle is struck from the side or
from behind
.If the vehicle rolls onto its side or roof
.If the vehicle is involved in a low-speed
frontal collision
1) First impact
2) Second impact
In an accident where the vehicle is
impacted more than once, the driver’s
and/or front passenger’s SRS frontal
airbag(s) will deploy only once on the first
impact.
Example: In the case of a double collision,
first with another vehicle, then against a
concrete wall in immediate succession,once either or both of the driver’s and front
passenger’s SRS frontal airbags is/are
activated on the first impact, it/they will not
be activated on the second impact.
&SRS side airbag and SRS
curtain airbag
The SRS side airbag is stored in the door
side of each front seat seatback, which
bears an“SRS AIRBAG”label.
Inamoderatetoseveresideimpact
collision, the SRS side airbag on the
impacted side of the vehicle deploys
between the occupant and the door panel
and supplements the seatbelt by reducing
the impact on the occupant’s chest and
waist. The SRS side airbag operates only
for front seat occupants.

2) Submaster key
3) Sub key
4) Key number plate
Three types of keys are provided for your
vehicle.
CAUTION
Do not attach a large key holder or
key case to either key. If it bangsagainst your knees while you are
driving, it could turn the ignition
switch from the“ON”position to the
“ACC”or“LOCK”position, thereby
stopping the engine.
&Key number plate
The key number is stamped on the key
number plate attached to the key set.
Write down the key number and keep it in
another safe place, not in the vehicle. This
number is needed to make a replacement
key if you lose your key or lock it inside the
vehicle. Refer to“Key replacement”F2-4.
Immobilizer
The immobilizer system is designed to
prevent an unauthorized person from
starting the engine. Only keys registered
with your vehicle’s immobilizer system can
be used to operate your vehicle. This
system, however, is not a 100% anti-theft
guarantee.
For models with“keyless access with
push-button start system”:
If you press the push-button ignition
switch when carrying an unregistered
access key, the switch will not turn to the
“ON”position and the engine will not start.
If the engine does not start, perform the
procedure described in“Starting engine”
F9-18.
For models without“keyless access
with push-button start system”:
Even if an unregistered key fits into the
ignition switch and can be turned to the
“START”position, the engine will auto-
matically stop after several seconds.
If the engine does not start, pull out the
key once before trying again. Refer to
“Ignition switch (models without“keyless
access with push-button start system”)”

Refer to“Security indicator light”F3-30.
&Key replacement
Your key number plate will be required if
you ever need a replacement key made.
Any new key must be registered for use
with your vehicle’s immobilizer system
before it can be used. The maximum
number of keys that can be registered
for use with one vehicle is as follows.
.Four (models without“keyless access
with push-button start system”)
.Seven (models with“keyless access
with push-button start system”)
One key that has already been registered
is required in order to register a new key.
If you lose a key, the lost key’s ID code still
remains in the memory of the vehicle’s
immobilizer system. For security reasons,
the lost key’s ID code should be erased
from the memory. To erase the lost key’s
ID code, all keys that will be used are
required.
For details about new key registration and
erasing the lost key’s ID code, contact
your SUBARU dealer.
