WARNING

Never use a belt that is twisted or
reversed. In an accident, this can
increase the risk or severity of
injury to the child.
101944
Never place the shoulder belt
under the child’s arm or behind
the child’s back. If an accident
occurs, this can increase the risk
or severity of injury to the child.The seatbelt should fit snugly in
order to provide full restraint.
Loose fitting belts are not as
effective in preventing or
reducing injury.Place the lap belt as low as
possible on the child’s hips. A
high-positioned lap belt will
increase the risk of sliding under
the lap belt and of the lap belt
sliding up over the abdomen, and
both can result in serious internal
injury or death.Make sure the shoulder belt is
positioned across the center of
child’s shoulder. Placing the
shoulder belt over the neck may
result in neck injury during
sudden braking or in a collision.

Installation of Child Restraint
Systems by Use of Lower
and Tether Anchorages
(LATCH)
▼
Lower and tether anchorages
NOTEThe seatbelt warning system of the
rear seats detects if any of the seats
are occupied by a passenger. Install-
ing a child restraint system in the rear
seating area, using the LATCH
anchors, may result in the activation of
the passenger seatbelt warning light
and chime. Fastening the rear seatbelt
prior to installing the child restraint
system will avoid activating the pas-
senger seatbelt warning light and
chime. For details, refer to "Rear pas-
senger’s seats" 
P133
Some types of child restraint systems can
be installed on the rear seat of your
vehicle without use of the seatbelts. Such
child restraint systems are secured to the
dedicated anchorages provided on the
vehicle body.
The lower and tether anchorages are
sometimes referred to as the LATCH
system (L ower Anchors and T ethers for
CHildren). Your vehicle is equipped with four lower
anchorages (bars) and two upper anchor-
ages (tether anchorages) for accommo-
dating such child restraint systems.
WARNING

Attach the child restraint system
to the anchors properly. When
using the LATCH anchors, be
sure that there are no foreign
objects around the anchors.
Make sure the child restraint
system is securely attached.
Otherwise it may cause death or
serious injury to children or other
passengers in sudden braking,
swerving, or accidents.
102674
When installing a child restraint
system using LATCH anchors
with the rear seatbelt fastened,
ensure that the rear seatbelt does
not become caught in the child
restraint system or the lower
LATCH anchorages.

2. You will find “ ” marks at the bottoms
of the rear seatback. These marks indi-
cate the positions of the lower anchorages
(bars).
Each lower anchorage is located behind
the cover of seatback bottom.Peel off the anchorage cover completely
from the selected side of the rear
seatback to expose
the anchorages (bars)
to be used for installation of the child
restraint system.
If it is hard to install the child restraint
system because the anchorage cover
returns to the original position, press the
anchorage cover to the seat cushion until
it is flat. 3. While following the instructions
supplied by the child restraint system
manufacturer, connect the lower hooks
onto the lower anchorages located at “ ”
marks on the bottom of the rear seatback.
When the hooks are connected, make
sure the adjacent seatbelts are not
caught.
CAUTION
When you install a child restraint
system, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions supplied with it. After
installing the child restraint system,
check to ensure that it is held
securely in position. If it is not held
tight and secure, the danger of your
child suffering personal injury in
the event of an accident may be
increased.

ible attachment type (which uses tether
belts), push the child restraint system into
the seat cushion and pull both left and
right lower tether belts up to secure the
child restraint system by taking up the
slack in the belt.
5. Latch the top tether hook onto the
tether anchorage that is located on the
rear shelf and tighten the top tether firmly.
For additional instructions, refer to "Top
Tether Anchorages" P58. 6. Before seating a child in the child
restraint system, try to move it back and
forth and left and right to verify that it is
firmly secured in the center of the seat.
7. To remove the child restraint system,
follow the reverse procedures of installa-
tion.
If you have any question concerning this
type of child restraint system, ask your
SUBARU dealer.
■
Top Tether Anchorages
Your vehicle is equipped with two top
tether anchorages so that a child restraint
system having a top tether can be
installed in the rear seat. When installing a
child restraint system using top tether,
proceed as follows, while observing the
instructions by the
child restraint system
manufacturer.
Since a top tether can provide additional
stability by offering another connection
between a child restraint system and the
vehicle, we recommend that you use a top
tether whenever one is required or avail-
able.

SRS Airbag (Supplemental Restraint System Airbag)
601-7. SRS Airbag (Supple-
mental Restraint SystemAirbag)Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
name is used because the airbag system
supplements the vehicle’s seatbelts.
This vehicle is equipped with a supple-
mental restraint system which consists of
seven airbags.
The configurations are as follows.
 Driver’s and front passenger’s frontal
airbags
 Driver’s and front passenger’s side
airbags
 Curtain airbags (for driver, front
passenger and rear passengers)
 Knee airbag for driver
These SRS airbags are designed only
to be a supplement to the primary
protection provided by the seatbelt.
The system also cont rols front seatbelt
pretensioners. For operation instructions
and precautions concerning the seatbelt
pretensioner, refer to "Seatbelt Preten-
sioners"  P44.
■
General Precautions
regarding SRS Airbag
System
WARNING
To obtain maximum protection in
the event of an accident, the
driver and all passengers must
always wear seatbelts when in
the vehicle. The SRS airbag is
designed only to be a supplement
to the primary protection
provided by the seatbelt. It does
not eliminate the need to fasten
seatbelts. In combination with the
seatbelts, it offers the best
protection in case of a serious
accident.
Not wearing a seatbelt increases
the chance of severe injury or
death in a crash even when the
vehicle has the SRS airbag.For instructions and precautions
concerning the seatbelt system,
refer to "Seatbelts" 
P39.
The SRS side airbags and SRS
curtain airbags are designed only
to be a supplement to the primary
protection provided by the
seatbelt. They do not eliminate
the need to fasten seatbelts. It is
also important to wear a seatbelt
to help avoid injuries that can
result when an occupant is not
seated in a proper upright posi-
tion.

WARNING
The SRS airbags deploy with con-
siderable speed and force. Occu-
pants who are not seated in proper
upright position when the SRS
airbag deploys could suffer serious
injury. Because the SRS airbag
needs enough space for deploy-
ment, the driver should always sit
upright and back in the seat as far
from the steering wheel as practical
while still maintaining full vehicle
control, and the front passenger
should move the seat as far back as
possible and sit upright and well
back in the seat.
102008
WARNING
Do not sit or lean close to either
door. The SRS side airbags are
stored in both front seat
seatbacks next to the door, and
they provide protection by
deploying rapidly in the event of a
side impact collision. However,
the force of SRS side airbag
deployment can injure an occu-
pant whose body is too close to
an SRS airbag.Since your vehicle is equipped
with SRS curtain airbags, do not
sit or lean close to the door on
either side. Do not put body parts
out of the window. The SRS
curtain airbags on both sides of
the cabin are stored in the roof
side (between the front pillar and
a point behind the rear quarter
glass), and they provide protec-
tion by deploying rapidly in the
event of a side impact, rollover or
an offset fron tal collision.
However, the force of its deploy-
ment can injure an occupant
whose body is too close to an
SRS airbag.
 Do not sit or lean unnecessarily
close to the SRS airbag. Because
the SRS airbag deploys with
considerable speed and force to
protect in high speed collisions,
the force of an airbag can injure
an occupant whose body is too
close to SRS airbag.
It is also important to wear
seatbelts to help avoid injuries
that can result when the SRS
airbag contacts an occupant not
in their proper position.Even when properly positioned,
there remains a possibility that
an occupant may suffer minor
injury, such as abrasions and
bruises to the face or arms,
because of the SRS airbag
deployment force.
