WARNING
Do not let rear passengers rest their
feet between the front seatback and
seat cushion. Doing so may inter-
fere with the proper operation of the
following systems and could result
in serious injury. Occupant detection systemSRS side airbagFront seat heater (if equipped)
102298
WARNING
Do not press your feet onto the
instrument panel. Doing so may
prevent the occupant detection
function of the SRS airbag system
from functioning correctly, and may
result in serious injury or death in
the event of an accident.
101704
WARNING
Seatbelts provide maximum
restraint when the occupant sits
well back and upright in the seat.
Do not put cushions or any other
materials between occupants and
seatbacks or seat cushions. If you
do so, the risk of sliding under the
lap belt and of the lap belt sliding up
over the abdomen will increase, and
both can result in serious internal
injury or death.

■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.

SRS Airbag (Supplemental Restraint System Airbag)

Seat, Seatbelt and SRS Airbags1
– CONTINUED –
▼SRS curtain airbag
Your vehicle is equipped with a SUBARU
SRS curtain airbag system that complies
with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard (FMVSS) No. 226.
The SRS curtain airbag on each side of
the cabin is stored in the roof side
(between the front pillar and a point over
the rear seat). An “SRS AIRBAG” mark is
located at the top of each center pillar.
In a moderate to severe side impact colli-
sion, the SRS curtain airbag on the
impacted side of the vehicle deploys
between the occupant and the side
window and supplements the seatbelt by
reducing the impact on the occupant’s
head.
In a rollover, SRS curtain airbags on both
sides of the vehicle deploy between the
occupant and the side window and
supplement the seatbelt by reducing the
impact to the occupant’s head.
In an offset frontal collision, SRS curtain
airbags on both sides of the vehicle
deploy between the occupant and the side
window and supplement the seatbelt by
reducing the impact to the occupant’s
head and chest. ▼
Operation
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain
airbag can function only when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position.
The following airbags deploy inde-
pendently of each other since each has its
own impact sensor.
 Driver’s SRS side airbag
 Front passenger’s SRS side airbag
 SRS curtain airbag (right-hand side)
 SRS curtain airbag (left-hand side)
Therefore, they may not both deploy in the
same accident. Also, the SRS side airbag
and SRS curtain airbag deploys inde-
pendently of the driver’s and front
passenger’s SRS frontal airbags in the
steering wheel and instrument panel.
For the locations of the sensors and
control modules, refer to "Components"
 P68.
▼ After deployment
After the deployment, the SRS side airbag
immediately starts to deflate. The time
required from detection of an impact to
deflation of an SRS side airbag after
deployment is shorter than the blink of an
eye.
The SRS curtain airbag remains inflated
for a while following deployment then
slowly deflates. The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain

airbag deploy even when no one occupies
the seat on the side on which an impact is
applied.
When the SRS side airbag and SRS
curtain airbag deploy, a sudden, fairly loud
inflation noise will be heard and some
smoke will be released. These occur-
rences are a normal result of the deploy-
ment. This smoke does not indicate a fire
in the vehicle.
▼ Example of the type of accident
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain
airbag are designed as follows:
CAUTION
Do not touch the SRS side airbag
system components around the
front seat seatback with bare hands
right after deployment. Doing so
can cause burns because the com-
ponents can be very hot as a result
of deployment.After deployment, do not touch any
part of the SRS curtain airbag sys-
tem (from the front pillar to the part
of the roof side over the rear seat).
Doing so can cause burns because
the components can be very hot as
a result of deployment.
