2022 SUBARU OUTBACK belt

Head Restraint Adjustment
Pull the head restraint up to raise
it. To lower the head restraint,
push it down while pressing the
release button on the top of the
seatback. Each head restraint
should be adjusted so that the
center of the head restraint is
closest to the top of the
occupant’s ears.
The angle of the front head
restraints can be adjusted by
tilting them forward. You will hear
a click when the restraint locks in
place. Pulling the head restraint
as far forward as it will go allows it
to return to the fully upright position.
Seatbelt Adjuster
To keep yourself comfortable and
safe, always position the seatbelt
adjuster so the shoulder belt
passes over the middle of your
shoulder without touching your
neck. Press and hold the top of
the adjuster and slide it up or
down. Release the adjuster and
make sure it is locked in place.

REAR SEAT REMINDER
The Rear Seat Reminder system assists you in
preventing a child or pet from being left in your
Subaru, prompting you to confirm the
presence of passengers and cargo in the rear
seats. The system monitors the opening and
closing of the rear side door. It does not
physically sense the presence of a child or pet.
The system activates when the rear side doors
are opened and closed. When you turn your
Subaru off, the system warns you with audible
beeps and with a “Reminder, Look in Rear
Seat” message in the Combination Meter
Display (CMD).
You can turn the Rear Seat Reminder off with the touchscreen by selecting “Settings”, then
the “Car” menu.
Passenger Occupant Detection and Seatbelt Reminders
To help keep your passengers
safe, your Subaru has a
passenger occupant detection
and seatbelt reminder system for
each seat, including the rear
seats.
If passengers in the rear seats do
not fasten their seatbelts while the
ignition is in the "ON" position,
the seatbelt warning lights
illuminate or blink for the specific
seat, and a warning chime may
sound.
For more information, please refer to “Seatbelt Warning Light and Chime” in your
Owner’s Manual.
