1. Place the child restraint system in the
rear seating position.
2. Run the lap and shoulder belt through
or around the child restraint system
following the instructions provided by its
manufacturer.
3. Insert the tongue plate into the buckle
until you hear a click. 4. Take up the slack in the lap belt.
5. Pull out the seatbelt fully from the

retractor to change the retractor over from
the Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
to the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
function. Then, allow the belt to rewind
into the retractor. As the belt is rewinding,
clicks will be heard which indicate the
retractor functions as ALR. 6. Before having a child sit in the child

restraint system, try to move it back and
forth and right and left to check if it is firmly
secured. Sometimes a child restraint
system can be more firmly secured by
pushing it down into the seat cushion and
then tightening the seatbelt. It should not
be possible to move the child restraint
system more than 1 in (2.5 cm) in any
direction along the seatbelt path.
7. Pull at the shoulder portion of the belt
to confirm that it cannot be pulled out (ALR
properly functioning).

in the above illustration. For details, refer
to "Top Tether Anchorages" P59.
▽ To install a child restraint
system using lower and tether
anchorages
1. Move the seatback back and forth to
confirm that it is securely locked into
place.
Check that the red colored
unlocking marker on the lock release
button is not visible. For details, refer
to "Folding Down the Rear Seatback"
 P37. 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.
WARNING
Before installing a child restraint
system, be sure to confirm that the
seatback is securely locked into
place. Otherwise, in an accident,
serious injury or death could result.
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.

SRS Airbag (Supplemental Restraint System Airbag)

Seat, Seatbelt and SRS Airbags1
– CONTINUED –
▼Front passenger’s SRS frontal
airbagThe front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag
uses a dual stage inflator. The inflator
operates in different ways depending on
the severity of impact.1) Occupant detection sensorsThe occupant detection sensors are
installed between the seat and seat rails,
and monitor the physique and posture of
the front passenger. Using this informa-
tion, the occupant detection system deter-
mines whether the front passenger’s SRS
frontal airbag should be deployed or not.
The occupant detect ion system may not
inflate the front passenger’s SRS frontal
airbag even when the driver’s SRS frontal
airbag deploys. This is normal. In this
case, although the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag does not operate, the front

passenger’s seatbelt pretensioner oper-
ates with the driver’s seatbelt
pretensioner. For details about the
seatbelt pretensioner, refer to "Seatbelt
Pretensioners" P44.

CAUTION
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may prevent the
SUBARU advanced frontal airbag
system from functioning correctly
or cause the system to fail. Do not apply any strong impact to
the front passenger’s seat such
as by kicking. Do not let rear passengers rest
their feet between the front
seatback and seat cushion. Do not remove or disassemble
the front passenger’s seat. Do not install any accessory
(such as an audio amplifier) other
than a genuine SUBARU acces-
sory under the front passenger’s
seat. Do not place anything (shoes,
umbrella, etc.) under the front
passenger’s seat.
 Do not place any objects (books,
etc.) around the front
passenger’s seat. Do not use the front passenger’s
seat with the head restraint
removed. Do not leave any articles on the
front passenger’s seat or the
seatbelt tongue and buckle
engaged when you leave your
vehicle. Do not put sharp object(s) on the
seat or pierce the seat uphol-
stery. Do not place a magnet near the
seatbelt buckle and the seatbelt
retractor. Do not use front seats with their
backward-forward position and
seatback not being locked into
place securely. If any of them are
not locked securely, adjust them
again. For adjusting procedure,
refer to "Manual Seat" P33
(models equipped with manual
seats only).

indicator
: Front passenger’s frontal airbag
OFF indicator
If you think that the Front passenger's
frontal airbag ON/OFF indicator is incor-
rect, take the following actions.
 Ensure that no article is placed on the
seat other than the occupant.
 Ensure that the backward-forward
position and seatback of front passenger’s
seat are locked into place securely by moving the seat back and forth. (Models

equipped with manual seats only)
If the ON indicator still remains illuminated
while the OFF indicator turns off after
taking relevant corrective actions
described above, immediately contact
your SUBARU dealer for an inspection.
Even if the system has passed the dealer
inspection, it is recommended that on
subsequent trips the small adult always
take the rear seat.
NOTEWhen a small adult is seated in the
front passenger’s seat, the SUBARU
advanced frontal airbag system may or
may not activate th e front passenger’s
SRS frontal airbag depending on the
occupant’s seating posture. If the OFF
indicator remains illuminated while the
ON indicator turns off when a small
adult is seated in the front passenger's
seat, see next section “Conditions in
which front passenger's SRS frontal
airbag is activated.”▼ Conditions in which front
passenger’s SRS frontal airbag is
activatedThe front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag
will be activated for deployment upon
impact when any of the following condi-
WARNING
NEVER INSTALL A CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM IN THE
FRONT PASSENGER’S SEAT EVEN
IF THE FRONT PASSENGER’S SRS
FRONTAL AIRBAG IS DEACTI-
VATED. Be sure to install it in the
REAR seat in a correct manner.
Also, it is strongly recommended
that any child restraint system
(including any booster seat) be
installed in the REAR seat, and that
even children who have outgrown a
child restraint system be also
seated in the REAR seat. This is
because children sitting in the front
passenger’s seat may be killed or
severely injured should the front
passenger’s SRS frontal airbag
deploy. REAR seats are the safest
place for children.
CAUTION
Observe the following precautions
as it increase the load on the front
passenger's seat and not work
properly. Do not install any accessory such
as a table or TV onto the
seatback.
 Do not allow the rear seat occu-
pant to place his/her hands or
legs on the front passenger's
seatback, or allow him/her to pull
the seatback.

waves. The status of the access key
fob and environmental conditions may
interfere with the communication
between the access key fob and the
vehicle under the following conditions,
and it may not be possible to lock or
unlock the doors or start the engine.
CAUTION
 Never leave or store the access
key fob inside the vehicle or
within 6.6 ft (2 m) around the
vehicle (e.g., in the garage). The

inside the vehicle, or the battery
may discharge rapidly. Note that
the push-button ignition switch
may not turn on in some cases
depending on the location of the
access key fob. The access key fob contains elec-
tronic components. Observe the
following precautions to prevent
malfunctions.
- It is recommended to have the
access key fob battery
replaced at an authorized
SUBARU dealer to avoid the
risk of damage.- Do not get the access key fob
wet. If the access key fob gets
wet, wipe it off immediately
and let it dry completely.- Do not apply strong impacts
to the access key fob.
- Never leave the access key
fob in direct sunlight or
anywhere that may become
hot, such as on the dash-
