Seatbelt Pretensioners
44Inspect the seatbelts and attachments
including the webbing and all hardware
periodically for cracks, cuts, gashes,
tears, damage, loose bolts or worn areas.
Replace the seatbelts even if only minor
damage is found.
1-5. Seatbelt PretensionersThe following seatbelts have a seatbelt
pretensioner.
Driver’s seatbelt
 Front passenger’s seatbelt
The seatbelt preten sioners are designed
to be activated in the event of an accident
involving a moderate to severe frontal and
side collision and rollover accident.
NOTE Seatbelt pretensioners are not
designed to activate in minor impacts
or in rear impacts.
 Pretensioners are designed to func-
tion on a one-time-o nly basis. In the
event that a pretensioner is activated,
both the driver’s and front passenger’s
seatbelt retractor assemblies should
be replaced only by an authorized
SUBARU dealer. When replacing
seatbelt retractor assemblies, use only
genuine SUBARU parts.
 If a seatbelt that has a seatbelt
pretensioner does not retract or cannot
be pulled out due to a malfunction or
activation of the pretensioner, contact
your SUBARU dealer as soon as
possible.
 If the seatbelt retractor assembly or
surrounding area has been damaged,
contact your SUBARU dealer as soon
as possible.
CAUTION
 Keep the belts free of polishes,
oils, chemicals and particularly
battery acid.Never attempt to make modifica-
tions or changes that will prevent
the seatbelt from operating prop-
erly.
WARNING
To obtain maximum protection,
the occupants should sit in an
upright position with their
seatbelts properly fastened.
Refer to "Seatbelts" 
P39.
Do not modify, remove or strike
the seatbelt retractor assemblies
equipped with seatbelt
pretensioners or surrounding
area. This could result in acci-
dental activation of the seatbelt
pretensioners or could make the
system inoperative, possibly
resulting in serious injury. Seat-
belt pretensioners have no user-
serviceable parts. For required
servicing of seatbelt retractors
equipped with seatbelt
pretensioners, consult your
SUBARU dealer.
When discarding seatbelt
retractor assemblies equipped
with seatbelt pretensioners or
scrapping the entire vehicle due
to collision damage or for other
reasons, consult your SUBARU
dealer.

When you sell your vehicle, we urge
you to inform the bu yer that the vehicle
is equipped with seatbelt
pretensioners. Also, notify the buyer of
the contents in this section.■
Front passenger’s seatbelt
with Shoulder Belt Preten-
sioner
The pretensioner sensor also serves as
follows.
 Front impact sensor
 Side impact sensor
 Door impact sensor
 Rollover sensor
If the sensor detects a certain predeter-
mined amount of force during frontal or
side collisions or rollover accidents, any seatbelt that has a se
atbelt pretensioner is
quickly drawn back in by the retractor to
take up the slack so that the belt more
effectively restrains the seat occupant.
The front passenger’s seatbelt
pretensioner includes a tension reducing
device which limits the peak forces
exerted by the seatbelt on the occupant in
the event of a collisi on. The adaptive force
limiter will select a reducing load to suit the
body size of the occupant as detected by
the occupant detection sensor.
When a seatbelt pretensioner is activated,
an operating noise will be heard and a
small amount of smoke will be released.
These occurrences are normal and not
harmful. This smoke does not indicate a
fire in the vehicle.
Once the seatbelt pretensioner has been
activated, the seatbelt retractor remains
locked. Consequently, the seatbelt can
not be pulled out and retracted and there-
fore must be replaced.
■
System Monitors
A diagnostic system continually monitors
the readiness of the seatbelt pretensioner
with the ignition switch in the “ON” posi-
tion. The seatbelt pr etensioners share the
control module with the SRS airbag
system. Therefore, if any malfunction
occurs in a seatbelt pretensioner, the SRS airbag system warning light will illuminate.
For details, refer to "SRS Airbag System
Monitors"
P87.

WARNING
 When discarding a seatbelt
retractor assembly or scrapping
the entire vehicle damaged by a
collision, consult your SUBARU
dealer.Tampering with or disconnecting
the system’s wiring could result
in accidental activation of the
seatbelt pretensioner and/or SRS
airbag or could make the system
inoperative, which may result in
serious injury. Do not use elec-
trical test equipment on any
circuit related to the seatbelt
pretensioner and SRS airbag
systems. For required servicing
of the seatbelt pretensioner,
consult your nearest SUBARU
dealer.
CAUTION
For the locations of the sensors and
control modules, refer to "Compo-

1-6. Child Restraint Systems■
Safety precautions
Infants and small children should always
be placed in an infant or child restraint
system in the rear seat while riding in the
vehicle.

system that meets Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards or Canada Motor
Vehicle Safety Standards, is compatible
with your vehicle and is appropriate for the
child’s age and size.
All child restraint systems are designed to
be secured in vehicle seats by lap belts or
the lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt
(except those described in "Installation of
Child Restraint Systems by Use of Lower
and Tether Anchorages (LATCH)" P55).
If you need service or repair in
those areas or near the front
seatbelt retractors, have the work
performed by your authorized
SUBARU dealer.
CAUTION
Do not perform any of the following
modifications. Such modifications
can interfere with proper operation
of the seatbelt pretensioners. Attachment of any equipment
(bush bar, winches, snow plow,
skid plate, etc.) other than
genuine SUBARU accessory
parts to the front end.
Modification of the suspension
system or front end structure.Installation of a tire of different
size and construction from the
tires specified on the vehicle
placard attached to the driver’s
center pillar or specified for indi-
vidual vehicle models in this
Owner’s Manual.
