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.

WARNING
■Seatbelt damage and wear
●Do not damage the seatbelts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be
jammed in the door.
● Inspect the seatbelt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose
parts. Replace a damaged seatbelt immediately. Damaged seatbelts can-
not protect an occupant from death or serious injury.
● Ensure that the belt and plate are locked and the belt is not twisted.
If the seatbelt does not function corr ectly, immediately contact your
SUBARU dealer.
● Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has been
involved in a serious accident, even if there's no obvious damage.
● Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of the
seatbelts. Have any necessary repairs carried out by your SUBARU
dealer. Inappropriate handling of the pretensioner may prevent it from
operating properly, resulting in death or serious injury.
■ When using the seatbelt guide
●Always make sure that the belt is not twisted, and runs freely through the
guide.
● Regardless of whether the guide is used or not, always secure the seatbelt
guide button.
● Do not hang from or pull the guide forcefully.
■ Before using the rear seatbelts
●Always make sure that the seatbelt is
not caught in the seatback or twisted in
one of the hooks that secure the seat-
back. Failure to do so may cause the
seatbelt to not be fastened correctly or
to become ineffective in a collision,
resulting in serious injury.

WARNING
■Caution while driving
Do not adjust the steering wheel while driving.
Doing so may cause the driver to mishandle the vehicle and an accident,
resulting in death or serious injury.
■ After adjusting the steering wheel
●Make sure that the steering wheel is securely locked.
Otherwise, the steering wheel may move suddenly, possibly causing an
accident, and resulting in death or serious injury.
●Do not put any objects (including straps
or cords) over the steering wheel pad,
steering column cover, or dashboard.
• These objects could become entan-
gled in the steering wheel, prevent-
ing the SRS front airbag, etc. from
operating properly.
• If the SRS front airbag deploys, these objects could become projec-
tiles, causing injury.
