General Information■
California Perchlorate Advi-
sory
Certain vehicle co mponents such as
airbag modules, seatbelt pretensioners
and keyless entry transmitter batteries
may contain perchlorate material. Special
handling may apply for service or vehicle
end of life disposal. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/
hazardouswaste /perchlorate.■
Noise from under the Vehicle
NOTE
You may hear a noise from under the
vehicle approximately 5 to 10 hours
after the ignition sw itch is turned to
the “OFF” position. However, this
does not indicate a malfunction. This
noise is caused by the operation of the
fuel evaporation leakage checking
system and the operation is normal.
The noise will stop after approximately
15 minutes.
■
Vehicle Data Recording
The vehicle is equipped with sophisticated
computers that will record certain data,
such as:
 Vehicle speed
 Engine speed
 Engine control information
 Shift state information
 Driving information, etc.
▼
Data usage
SUBARU may use the data recorded in
this computer to diagnose malfunctions,

data to a third party except:
 With the consent of the vehicle owner
or with the consent of the lessee if the

This connector should be used
only with compatible diagnostic
devices for inspection and main-
tenance by an authorized service

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.

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

Cooling and Dehumidifying
in High Humidity and Low
Temperature Weather Condi-
tion
Under certain weather conditions (high
relative humidity, low temperatures, etc.)
a small amount of water vapor emission
from the air outlets may be noticed. This
condition is normal and does not indicate
any problem with the air conditioning
system.■
Air Conditioner Compressor
Shut-Off When Engine Is
Heavily Loaded
To improve acceleration and gas mileage,
the air conditioner compressor is
designed to temporarily shut off during air
conditioner operation whenever the accel-
erator is fully depressed such as during
rapid acceleration or when driving on a
steep upgrade.
■
Refrigerant for Your Climate
Control System1) Air conditioner labelYour air conditioner uses ozone friendly
refrigerant R-1234yf (HFO-1234yf).
Before adding, changing or checking the
refrigerant, check the air conditioner label
in the location shown in the illustration to
confirm the type of refrigerant is used in
your vehicle.
Consult your SUBARU dealer for service.
