General Precautions
regarding SRS Airbag
System and Children
Do not attach a hands-free micro-
phone or any other accessory to a
front pillar, a center pillar, a rear
pillar, the windshield, a side
window, or any other cabin
surface that would be near a
deploying SRS curtain airbag. A
hands-free microphone or other
accessory in such a location
could be propelled through the
cabin with great force by the
curtain airbag, or it could prevent
correct deployment of the curtain
airbag. In either case, the result
could be serious injuries.

WARNING
Do not put any kind of clothes or
other objects over the front
seatback and do not attach labels
or stickers to the front seat
surface on or near the SRS side
airbag. They could prevent
proper deployment of the SRS
side airbag, reducing protection
available to the front seat’s occu-
pant.Do not install a seat cover unless
it is a genuine SUBARU seat
cover exclusively designed for
use with the SRS airbag. Even
when using a genuine SUBARU
seat cover, the SRS side airbag
system may not function
normally if the seat cover is not
installed correctly.
WARNING
Seat children in the rear seat prop-
erly restrained at all times. The SRS
airbag deploys with considerable
speed and force and can injure or
even kill children, especially if they
are not restrained or improperly
restrained. Because children are
lighter and weaker than adults, their
risk of being injured from deploy-
ment is greater.

For that reason, we strongly recom-
mend that ALL children (including
those in child restraint systems) sit
in the REAR seat properly
restrained at all times in a child
restraint device or in a seatbelt,
whichever is appropriate for the
child’s age, height and weight.Secure ALL types of child restraint
systems (including forward facing
child restraint system) in the REAR
seats at all times.According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating posi-
tions than in the front seating posi-
tions.For instructions and precautions
concerning the child restraint sys-
tem, refer to "Chi ld Restraint Sys-
tems" 
P46.
WARNING
NEVER INSTALL A CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM IN THE
FRONT SEAT. DOING SO RISKS
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO
THE CHILD BY PLACING THE
CHILD’S HEAD TOO CLOSE TO THE
SRS AIRBAG.
101999
WARNING
Never allow a child to stand up or
kneel on the front passenger’s seat.
The SRS airbag deploys with con-
siderable force and can injure or
even kill the child.

WARNING
Never hold a child on your lap or in
your arms. The SRS airbag deploys
with considerable force and can
injure or even kill the child.

WARNING
Never allow a child to do the
following.
- Kneel on any passenger’s
seat facing the side window
100166100167
- Wrap his/her arms around thefront seat seatback- Put his/her head, arms orother parts of the body out of
the windowIn the event of an accident, the
force of SRS side airbag and/or
SRS curtain airbag deployment
could injure the child seriously
because his/her head, arms or
other parts of the body are too
close to the SRS side airbag and/
or SRS curtain airbag.
Since your vehicle is also
equipped with a front
passenger’s SRS frontal airbag,
children should be placed in the
rear seat anyway and should be
properly restrained at all times.

SUBARU Advanced Frontal
Airbag System, SRS Side
Airbag and SRS Curtain
Airbag
This vehicle is equipped with a SUBARU
advanced frontal airbag system that
complies with the new advanced frontal
airbag requirements in the amended
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
(FMVSS) No. 208.
The SUBARU advanced frontal airbag
system automatically determines the
deployment force of the driver’s SRS
frontal airbag at the time of deployment as
well as whether or not to activate the front
passenger’s SRS frontal airbag and, if
activated, the deployment force of the
SRS frontal airbag at the time of deploy-
ment.This vehicle has warning labels on the
driver’s and front passenger’s sun visors
beginning with the phrase “EVEN WITH
ADVANCED AIR BAGS” and a tag
attached to the glove box lid beginning
with the phrase “Even with Advanced Air
Bags”. Make sure th
at you carefully read
the instructions on the warning labels and
tag.
Always wear your seatbelt. The SUBARU
advanced frontal airbag system is a
supplemental restraint system and must
be used in combination with a seatbelt. All
occupants should wear a seatbelt or be
seated in an appropriate child restraint
system.
This vehicle is equipped with a SUBARU
SRS curtain airbag system that complies
with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard (FMVSS) No. 226.
For the locations of the SRS airbags, refer
to "Components" P67.
In a moderate to severe frontal collision,
the following components deploy.
 SRS frontal airbag for driver
 SRS frontal airbag for front passenger
 SRS curtain airbag*
 SRS knee airbag for driver
*: When an offset frontal collision that is
severe enough to deploy the front airbag
occurs.These components supplement the
seatbelts by reducing the impact to the
occupant’s head, chest and knees.
In a moderate to severe side impact colli-
sion, the SRS side airbag on the impacted
side of the vehicle deploys between the
occupant and the door panel and supple-
ments the seatbelt by reducing the impact
to the occupant’s chest and waist.
In a moderate to severe side impact colli-
sion, the SRS curtain airbag on the
impacted side of the vehicle deploys
between the occupant and the side
window and supplements the seatbelt by
reducing the impact to the occupant’s
head.NOTEThe SRS side airbag and seatbelt
pretensioner are not controlled by the
SUBARU advanced frontal airbag sys-
tem.
▼
Driver’s SRS frontal airbag
The driver’s SRS frontal airbag uses a
dual stage inflator. The inflator operates in
different ways depending on the severity
of impact.

Also, if luggage or electronic devices are
placed on the front passenger’s seat, this
may adversely affect the ability of the
system to determine deployment. This
may prevent the front passenger’s frontal
airbag ON and OFF indicators from
working properly. Check that the indica-
tors work properly.
When the OFF indicator turns off and the
ON indicator illuminates, the front
passenger’s frontal airbag may deploy
during a collision. Remove luggage and
electronic devices from the front
passenger’s seat. ▼
Conditions in which front
passenger’s SRS frontal airbag is
not activated
The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag
will not be activated when any of the
following conditions are met regarding the
front passenger’s seat:
 The seat is empty.
 The seat is equipped with an appro-
priate child restrain t system and an infant
or a child is restrained in it. (See
WARNING that follows.)

rect, take the following actions.
 Ensure that no article is placed on the
seat other than the occupant.
 Ensure that the backward-forward
position and seatback of front passenger’s
seat are locked into place securely by moving the seat back and forth. (Models
equipped with manual seats only)
If the ON indicator still remains illuminated
while the OFF indicator turns off after
taking relevant corrective actions
described above, immediately contact
your SUBARU dealer for an inspection.
Even if the system has
passed the dealer
inspection, it is recommended that on
subsequent trips the small adult always
take the rear seat.
NOTEWhen a small adult is seated in the
front passenger’s seat, the SUBARU
advanced frontal airbag system may or
may not activate th e front passenger’s
SRS frontal airbag depending on the
occupant’s seating posture. If the OFF
indicator remains illuminated while the
ON indicator turns off when a small
adult is seated in the front passenger's
seat, see next section “Conditions in
which front passenger's SRS frontal
airbag is activated.”

WARNING
NEVER INSTALL A CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM IN THE
FRONT PASSENGER’S SEAT EVEN
IF THE FRONT PASSENGER’S SRS
FRONTAL AIRBAG IS DEACTI-
VATED. Be sure to install it in the
REAR seat in a correct manner.
Also, it is strongly recommended
that any forward facing child seat or
booster seat be installed in the
REAR seat, and that even children
who have outgrown a child restraint
system be also seated in the REAR
seat. This is because children sit-
ting in the front passenger’s seat
may be killed or severely injured
should the front passenger’s SRS
frontal airbag deploy. REAR seats
are the safest place for children.
CAUTION
Observe the following precautions
as it increase the load on the front
passenger's seat and not work
properly. Do not install any accessory such
as a table or TV onto the
seatback.
Do not allow the rear seat occu-
pant to place his/her hands or
legs on the front passenger's
seatback, or allow him/her to pull
