SRS Airbag (Supplemental Restraint System Airbag)
62
NOTEWhen you sell your vehicle, we urge
you to inform the buyer 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 off to reduce the risk
of fire caused by leaking fuel. For
details about restarting of the engine,
refer to "If Your Ve hicle Is Involved in
an Accident" P328.
 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.
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.

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.

■General Precautions
regarding SRS Airbag
System for Accessories and
Any Objects
102683102218
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 airbag
deploys, 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.

■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.

- Wrap his/her arms around the
front seat seatback- Put his/her head, arms or
other parts of the body out of
the windowIn the event of an accident, the
force of SRS side airbag and/or
SRS curtain airbag deployment
could injure the child seriously
because his/her head, arms or
other parts of the body are too
close to the SRS side airbag and/
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.

70■SUBARU Advanced Frontal
Airbag SystemThis vehicle is equipped with a SUBARU
advanced frontal airbag system that
complies with the new advanced frontal
airbag requirements in the amended
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
(FMVSS) No. 208.
The SUBARU advanced frontal airbag
system automaticall y determines the
deployment force of the driver’s SRS
frontal airbag at the time of deployment as
well as whether or not to activate the front
passenger’s SRS frontal airbag and, if
activated, the deployment force of the
SRS frontal airbag at the time of deploy-
ment.
This vehicle has warning labels on the
driver’s and front passenger’s sun visors beginning with th
e phrase “EVEN WITH
ADVANCED AIR BAGS” and a tag
attached to the glove box lid beginning
with the phrase “Even with Advanced Air
Bags”. Make sure that you carefully read
the instructions on the warning labels and
tag.
Always wear your seatbelt. The SUBARU
advanced frontal airbag system is a
supplemental restraint system and must
be used in combination with a seatbelt. All
occupants should wear a seatbelt or be
seated in an appropriate child restraint
system.
For the locations of the SRS airbags, refer
to "Components" P68.
In a moderate to severe frontal collision,
the following components deploy.
 SRS frontal airbag for driver
 SRS frontal airbag for front passenger
 SRS curtain airbag*
 SRS knee airbag for driver
*: When an offset frontal collision that is
severe enough to deploy the front airbag
occurs.These components supplement the
seatbelts by reducing the impact to the
occupant’s head, chest and knees.
NOTEOnly driver’s SRS frontal airbag and
front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag
are controlled by the SUBARU
advanced frontal airbag system.
▼ Driver’s SRS frontal airbagThe driver’s SRS frontal airbag uses a
dual stage inflator. The inflator operates in
different ways depending on the severity
of impact.SRS airbag system warning light

▼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.

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).
