& System monitors
SRS airbag system warning light (Turbo
models)
SRS airbag system warning light (Non-
turbo models)
A diagnostic system continually monitors
the readiness of the seatbelt pretensioner
while the vehicle is being driven. The
seatbelt pretensioners share the control
module with the airbag system. Therefore,
if any malfunction occurs in a seatbelt
pretensioner, the SRS airbag system
warning light will illuminate. The SRS
airbag system warnin g light will show
normal system operation by lighting for
approximately 6 seconds when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the “ON” position.
The following components are monitored
by the indicator:
. Front sub sensor (Right-hand side)

WARNING
If the warning light exhibits any of
the following conditions, there may
be a malfunction in the seatbelt
pretensioners and/or SRS airbag
system. Immediately take your vehi-
cle to your nearest SUBARU dealer
to have the system checked. Unless
checked and properly repaired, the
seatbelt pretensioners and/or SRS
airbags will operate improperly (e.g.
SRS airbags may inflate in a very
minor collision or not inflate in a
severe collision), which may in-
crease the risk of injury.
. Flashing or flickering of the warn-
ing light
. No illumination of the warning
light when the ignition switch is
first turned to the “ON” position
. Continuous il lumination of the
warning light
. Illumination of the warning light
while driving
& System servicing
WARNING
. When discarding a seatbelt re-
tractor assembly or scrapping
the entire vehicle damaged by a
collision, consult your SUBARU
dealer.
. Tampering with or disconnecting
the system’s wiring could result
in accid ental activation of the
seatbelt pretensioner and/or air-
bag or could make the system
inoperative, which may result in
serious injury. The wiring har-
nesses of the se atbelt preten-
sioner and SRS airbag systems
are covered with yellow insula-
tion and the connectors of the
system are yellow for easy iden-
tification. Do not use electrical
test equipment on any circuit
related to the seatbelt preten-
sioner and airbag systems. For
required servicing of the seatbelt
pretensi oner, see your nearest
SUBARU dealer.
CAUTION
The front sub sensors are located in
both front fenders and the airbag
control module including the impact
sensors is located under the center
console. If you need service or
repair in those areas or near the
front seatbelt retractors, have an
authorized SUBARU dealer perform
the work.
NOTE
If the f ront part of the vehicle is
damaged in an accident to the extent
that the seatbelt pretensioner does not
operate, contact your SUBARU dealer
as soon as possible.
