Child Restraint Systems

Seat, Seatbelt and SRS Airbags1
– CONTINUED –
A: Front passenger’s seat
You should not install a child restraint
system (including a bo oster seat) due to
the hazard to children posed by the
passenger’s airbag.
B: Rear seat
Recommended positions for all types of
child restraint systems. In these positions, the following equip-
ment is provided for installing a child

restraint system.
 Automatic Locking Retractor/Emer-
gency Locking Retractor (ALR/ELR)
seatbelts
 Lower anchorages (bars)
 Upper anchorages (tether anchorages)
Some types of child restraint systems
might not be able to be secured firmly due
to projection of the seat cushion.
In this seating position, you should use
only a child restrain t system that has a
bottom base that fits snugly against the
contours of the seat cushion and can be
securely retained using the seatbelt. If the child restraint system
cannot be correctly installed
because it contacts the driver’s
seat, move the child restraint
system to a different seat. If it
cannot be installed in a different
seat (other than the driver’s seat),
adjust the front seat so that
contact does not occur.

WARNING
 Even with advanced airbags, chil-
dren can be seriously injured by
the airbag. Seat children in the
rear seat properly 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
deployment is greater.
For that reason, be sure to secure
ALL types of child restraint systems
in the REAR seats at all times. You
should choose a restraint system
which is appropriate for the child’s
age, height and weight. According
to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained in
the rear seating positions than in
the front seating positions. Do not connect tw o or more lower
hooks onto the same anchorage
(bar).

■General Precautions
regarding SRS Airbag
System and Children
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.
100082
For that reason, we strongly recom-
mend that ALL children (including
those in child rest raint systems) sit
in the REAR seat properly
restrained at all times in a child
restraint system 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 "Ch ild 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.

 When certain items (e.g. jug of water)
are placed on the seat.
▽ If the passenger’s frontal airbag
OFF indicator illuminates and
the ON indicator turns off even
when the front passenger’s seat
is occupied by an adult: Front passenger’s frontal airbag ON
indicator
: Front passenger’s frontal airbag
OFF indicator
This can be caused by the adult incor-
rectly sitting in the front passenger’s seat.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF”
position.
2. Ask the front passenger to set the
seatback to the upright position, sit up
straight in the center of the seat cushion,
correctly fasten the seatbelt, position his/ her legs out forward, and adjust the seat

to the rearmost position.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON”
position.
If the OFF indicator remains illuminated
while the ON indica tor remains off, take
the following actions.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF”
position.
2. Make sure that the front passenger
does not use a blanket, extra seat
cushion, seat cover, extra seat heater or
massager, etc.
3. If wearing excessive layers of clothing,
the front passenger should remove any
unnecessary items before sitting in the
front passenger’s seat, or should sit in a
rear seat.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON”
position and wait 6 seconds to allow the
system to complete self-checking.
Following the system check, both indica-
tors turn off for 2 seconds. Now, the ON
indicator should illuminate while the OFF
indicator remains off.
If the OFF indicator still remains illumi-
nated while the ON indicator remains off,
ask the occupant to move to the rear seat
and immediately contact your SUBARU
dealer for an inspection.
CAUTION
When the front passenger's seat is
occupied by an adult, observe the
following precautions.Failure to do so may lessen the load
on the front passenger's seat, deac-
tivating the fron t passenger's SRS
frontal airbag despite the fact that
the seat is occupied by an adult.This may result in personal injury. Do not allow the rear seat occu-
pant to lift the front passenger's
seat cushion using his/her feet. Do not place any article under the
front passenger's seat, or
squeeze any article from behind
and under the seat. Do not squeeze any article
between the front passenger's
seat and side trim/pillar, door or
center console box. This may lift
the seat cushion.
