Before driving
BRZ_U (A4450BE-A)
Turn the engine switch to the “ON” position (vehicles without a
keyless access with push button start system), or the push-
button ignition switch to “ON” mode (vehicles with a keyless
access with push button start system). The ON and OFF indi-
cators illuminate for 6 seconds during the system check and
after the system check is performed, the ON and OFF indica-
tors turn off for 2 seconds. Then, the OFF indicator remains
off while the ON indicator is illuminated. If the ON indicator
remains off and the OFF indicator is illuminated, move the
occupant to the rear seat backwards and immediately contact
your SUBARU dealer and have the vehicle inspected.
If the front passenger’s frontal airbag ON indicator illuminates and the OFF indicator turns off
even when an infant or a small child is in a child restraint system (including booster seat)
This can be caused by the child restraint system being installed incor-
rectly. Perform the following.
Vehicles without a keyless access with push button start sys-
tem:
The engine switch is turned to the “LOCK” position.
Vehicles with a keyless access with push button start system:
Turn the push-button ignition switch off.
Remove the child restraint system from the seat. By referring
to the child restraint manufacturer’s recommendations as well
as the child restraint system installation procedure in “child
restraint system”, correctly reinstall the child restraint system.
