WARNING

Do not attach accessories to the

windshield, or fit an extra-wide mir-

ror over the rear view mirror. If the

SRS airbag deploys, those objects

could become projectiles that could

seriously injure vehicle occupants.

! Driver’s SRS frontal airbag

The driver’s SRS frontal airbag uses a

dual stage inflator. The inflator operates in

different ways depending on the severity

of impact, backward-forward adjustment

of the driver’s seat position and whether or

not he/she is wearing the seatbelt.

The backward-forward adjustment of the

driver’s seat position is monitored by the

driver’s seat position sensor under the

driver’s seat.

Whether or not the driver is wearing the

seatbelt is monitored by the seatbelt

buckle switch.

Observe the following precautions. Failure

to do so may cause the seatbelt buckle

switch and/or the seat position sensor to

malfunction, preventing the Subaru ad-

vanced frontal airbag system from func-

tioning correctly or causing the system to

fail.

. Do not place articles/metal objects or

install any accessory other than a genuine

SUBARU accessory under the driver’s

seat. Do not allow the rear seat occupant

to kick the driver’s seat or push up its

bottom surface with his/her feet.

. Do not place a magnet near the

seatbelt buckle or under the driver’s seat.

If the seatbelt buckle switch and/or the

driver’s seat position sensor have failed,

the SRS airbag system warning light will

illuminate. Although the driver ’sSRS

frontal airbag can deploy regardless of

the backward-forward adjustment of the

driver ’s seat position even when the

warning light is on, have the system

inspected by your SUBARU dealer im-

mediately if the SRS airbag system warn-

ing light comes on.

NOTE

The driver’s SRS side airbag, SRS

curtain airbag and seatbelt preten-

sioner are not controlled by the Subaru

advanced frontal airbag system.

! Front passenger’s SRS frontal air-

bag

The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag

uses a dual stage inflator. The inflator

operates in different ways depending on

the severity of impact.

The total load on the seat is monitored by

the passenger’s occupant detection sys-

tem weight sensor under the seat.

The system has another sensor that

monitors the tension of the front passen-

ger seatbelt. Using the total seat load and

seatbelt tension data from the sensors,

the occupant detection system determines

whether the front passenger’s SRS frontal

airbag should or should not be inflated.

The occupant detection system may not

inflate the front passenger’s SRS frontal

airbag even when the driver ’s SRS frontal

airbag deploys. This is normal.

Observe the following precautions. Failure

to do so may prevent the Subaru ad-

vanced frontal airbag system from func-

tioning correctly or cause the system to

fail.
