Scrapping of your SUBARU
The SRS airbag and seatbelt pretensioner devices in your SUBARU contain
explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and seatbelt
pretensioners left as they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be
sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and seatbelt pretensioner
removed and disposed of by a qualified service shop or by your SUBARU
dealer before you scrap your vehicle.
Perchlorate Material
Special handling may apply, See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.
Your vehicle has components that may contain perchlorate. These
components may include airbag, seatbelt pretensioners, and transmitter
batteries.
WARNING
■ General precautions while driving
Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influ-
ence of alcohol or drugs that have impa ired your ability to operate your vehi-
cle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment and
reduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that could result in
death or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other
drivers or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents.
Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that dis-
tracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or
reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you,
your occupants or others.
■ General precaution regarding children’s safety
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to
have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral.
There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with
the windows or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or
extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

munication device
• Another vehicle's access key or a transmitter that emits radio waves
