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.

NOTEWhen you sell your vehicle, we urge
you to inform the bu yer that the vehicle
is equipped with SRS airbags. Also,
notify the buyer of the applicable
section in this Owner’s Manual.
 If the SRS airbag deploys, fuel
supply will be cut o ff to reduce the risk
of fire caused by leaking fuel. For
details about restarting of the engine,
refer to "If Your Vehicle Is Involved in
an Accident" 
P328.

General Precautions
regarding SRS Airbag
System for Accessories and
Any Objects
WARNING
 Keep arms away from either door
or its internal trim. They could be
injured in the event of SRS side
airbag deployment.Do not place any objects over or
near the SRS airbag cover or
between you and the SRS airbag.
If the SRS airbag deploys, these
objects could interfere with its
proper operation and could be
propelled inside the vehicle,
causing injury.
102009
CAUTION
When the SRS airbag deploys,
some smoke will be released.
This smoke could cause
breathing problems for people
with a history of asthma or other
breathing trouble. If you or your
passengers have breathing prob-
lems after SRS airbag deploys,
get fresh air promptly.A deploying SRS airbag releases
hot gas. Occupants could get
burned if they come into direct
contact with the hot gas.

WARNING
Do not put any objects (including
straps or cord) over the steering
wheel pad, column cover, or
dashboard.
- These objects could be entan-
gled with the steering wheel,
preventing the SRS frontal
airbag, etc. from operating
properly.- If the SRS frontal airbagdeploys, these objects could
be propelled inside the
vehicle, causing injury.
Do not put any objects under the
driver’s side of the instrument
panel. If the SRS knee airbag
deploys, those objects could
interfere with its proper operation
and could be propelled inside the
vehicle, causing injury.
WARNING
Do not attach accessories to the
windshield, or fit an extra-wide mir-
ror over the inside rear view mirror.
If the SRS airbag deploys, those
objects could become projectiles
that could seriously injure vehicle
occupants.
101940
WARNING
Do not attach accessories to the
door trim or near either SRS side
airbags and do not place objects
near the SRS side airbags. In the
event of SRS side airbag deploy-
ment, they could be propelled
dangerously toward the vehicle’s
occupants and cause injuries.

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.
101973
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.

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.

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.
