. When using for a long period of time,

we recommend setting the seat ventila-

tion to the MID or LOW position. Use the

HIGH position for only quick cooling at

the start of the function usage.

Adjust the seat ventilation function on the

center information display. Refer to “Front

Seat Ventilation” �P314.

1-4. Rear Seats

s01ac

WARNING

Seatbelts provide maximum re-

straint when the occupant sits back

and upright in the seat. Do not place

cushions or any other materials

between occupants and seatbacks

or seat cushions. By doing 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.

WARNING

Never stack luggage or other cargo

higher than the top of the seatback

as it could tumble forward and injure

passengers in the event of a sudden

stop or accident.

WARNING

To prevent the passenger from slid-

ing under the seatbelt in the event of

a collision, always put the seatback

in the upright position while the

vehicle is in motion.

CAUTION

If the vehicle is equipped with a

cargo area cover, observe the fol-

lowing precautions.

. Make sure hands are not pinched

between the headrest and the

cargo area cover when rear seat

is reclined.

. Move the front cover of the cargo

area cover backward so that the

cover is not damaged by the

reclined seatback. Refer to “Lift-

ing Cargo Cover (Outback/

Subaru Outback Wilderness – If

Equipped)” �P337.

Adjust the seatback to the desired position

while pulling the lever.

After adjusting the seatback, release the

lever and make sure the seatback is

securely locked into place.

& Folding Down the Rear Seat-

back

s01ac02

WARNING

. When folding down the seatback,

check that there are no passen-

gers or objects on the rear seat.

Not doing so creates a risk of

injury or property damage.

. Never allow passengers to ride

on the folded rear seatback or in

the cargo area or trunk. Doing so

may result in serious injury or

death.

. Secure all objects and especially

long items properly to prevent

them from being thrown around

inside the vehicle and causing

serious injury during a sudden

steering maneuver or accelera-

tion.

. When you return the seatback to

its original position, shake it

slightly to confirm that it is se-

curely in place. If it is not securely

fixed in place, it may suddenly

fold down in the event of sudden

braking, or objects may move out

from the cargo area, both could

cause serious injury or death.

ious injury or death.

& Head Restraint Adjustment

s01ac03

Both the rear window side seats and the

rear center seat are equipped with head

restraints.

WARNING

. Never drive the vehicle with the

head restraints removed because

they are designed to reduce the

risk of serious neck injury in the

event that the vehicle is struck

from the rear. Therefore, when

you remove the head restraints,

you must reinstall all head re-

straints to protect vehicle occu-

pants.

. All occupants, including the dri-

ver, should not operate a vehicle

or sit in a vehicle’s seat until the

head restraints are placed in their

proper positions in order to mini-

mize the risk of neck injury in the

event of a crash.

. The front seat head restraints are

designed to be installed into the

front seats only. The rear seat

head restraints are designed to

be installed into the rear seats

only. Do not attempt to install the

front seat head restraints into the

rear seats, or the rear seat head

restraints into the front seats.

1-5. Seatbelts

s01ae

& Seatbelt Safety Tips

s01ae01

WARNING

. All persons in the vehicle should

fasten their seatbelts BEFORE

the vehicle starts to move. Other-

wise, the possibility of serious

injury becomes greater in the

event of a sudden stop or acci-

dent.

. All belts should fit snugly in order

to provide full restraint. Loose

fitting belts are not as effective in

preventing or reducing injury.

. Each seatbelt is designed to sup-

port only one person. Never use a

single belt for two or more per-

sons – even children. Otherwise,

in an accident, serious injury or

death could result.

. Replace all seatbelt assemblies

including retractors and attach-

ing hardware worn by occupants

of a vehicle that has been in a

serious accident. The entire as-

sembly should be replaced even

if damage is not obvious.

. Seat children in the rear seat

properly restrained at all times.

The SRS airbag deploys with

considerable speed and force

and can injure or even kill chil-

dren, especially if they are not

restrained or improperly re-

strained. Because children are

lighter and weaker than adults,

their risk of being injured from

deployment is greater. For that

reason, we strongly recommend

that ALL children (including

those in child restraint 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 height and weight. Secure

ALL types of child restraint sys-

tems in the REAR seats at all

times.

NEVER INSTALL A CHILD RE-

STRAINT SYSTEM IN THE FRONT

PASSENGER’S SEAT. DOING SO

RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR

DEATH TO THE CHILD BY PLA-

CING THE CHILD’S HEAD TOO

CLOSE TO THE SRS AIRBAG.

According to accident statistics,

children are safer when properly

restrained in the rear seating
