inspection location in the U.S., refer to the

National Highway Traffic Safety Adminis-

tration (NHTSA) website. In Canada,

check with Transport Canada.

1-9. SRS Airbag (Supplemen-

tal Restraint System Airbag)

s01ah

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)

name is used because the airbag system

supplements the vehicle’s seatbelts.

This vehicle is equipped with a supple-

mental restraint system which consists of

eight airbags.

The configurations are as follows.

. Driver’s and front passenger’s frontal

airbags

. Driver’s and front passenger’s side

airbags

. Front passenger’s seat cushion air-

bags

. Curtain airbags (for driver, front pas-

senger, and window-side rear passen-

gers)

. Knee airbag for driver

These SRS airbags are designed only

to be a supplement to the primary

protection provided by the seatbelt.

The system also controls front seatbelt

pretensioners. For operation instructions

and precautions concerning the seatbelt

pretensioner, refer to “Seatbelt Preten-

sioners” �P55.

& General Precautions regard-

ing SRS Airbag System

s01ah10

WARNING

. To obtain maximum protection in

the event of an accident, the

driver and all passengers must

always wear seatbelts when in

the vehicle. The SRS airbag is

designed only to be a supplement

to the primary protection pro-

vided by the seatbelt. It does not

eliminate the need to fasten seat-

belts. Used in combination with

the seatbelts, the SRS airbag

offers vehicle occupants the best

possible protection in the event

of a serious accident.

Not wearing a seatbelt increases

the chance of severe injury or

death in a crash even when the

vehicle has the SRS airbag.

For instructions and precautions

concerning the seatbelt system,

refer to “Seatbelts” �P47.

. The SRS side airbags and SRS

curtain airbags are designed only

to be a supplement to the primary

protection provided by the seat-

belt. They do not eliminate the

need to fasten seatbelts. It is also

important to wear a seatbelt to

help avoid injuries that can result

when an occupant is not seated

in a proper upright position.

WARNING

The SRS airbags deploy with con-

siderable speed and force. Occu-

pants who are not seated in the

proper upright position when the

SRS airbag deploys could suffer

very serious injury. Because the

SRS airbag needs enough space

for deployment, the driver should

always sit upright and back in the

seat as far from the steering wheel

as practical while still maintaining

full vehicle control, and the front

passenger should move the seat as

far back as possible and sit upright

and well back in the seat.

WARNING

. Do not sit or lean close to either

front door. The SRS side airbags

are stored in both front seat

seatbacks next to the door, and

they provide protection by de-

ploying rapidly in the event of a

side impact collision. However,

the force of SRS side airbag

deployment can injure an occu-

pant whose body is too close to

an SRS airbag.

. Since this vehicle is equipped

(82,1)

北米Model "A2620BE-A" EDITED: 2022/ 4/ 25

with SRS curtain airbags, do not

sit or lean close to the front or

rear door on either side. Do not

put body parts out of the window.

The SRS curtain airbags on both

sides of the cabin are stored in

the roof side (between the front

pillar and a point behind the rear

quarter glass), and they provide

protection by deploying rapidly

in the event of a side impact,

rollover or an offset frontal colli-

sion. However, the force of its

deployment can injure an occu-

pant whose body is too close to

an SRS airbag.

. Do not sit or lean 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 seat-

belts to help avoid injuries that

can result when the SRS airbag

contacts an occupant who is not

seated in the proper position.

Even when properly positioned,

there remains a possibility that

an occupant may suffer minor

injuries, such as abrasions and

bruises to the face or arms,

because of the SRS airbag de-

ployment force.

WARNING

. Keep arms away from either door

or its internal trim. Vehicle occu-

pants could be injured in the

event of SRS side airbag deploy-

ment.

. 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 breath-

ing problems for people with a

history of asthma or other breath-

ing trouble. If you or your pas-

sengers have breathing pro-

blems 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.

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 sec-

tion 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 Vehicle Is Involved in an

Accident” �P500.

& General Precautions regard-

ing SRS Airbag System for

Accessories and Any Objects

s01ah13

WARNING

. Do not put any objects (including

straps or cords) over the steering

wheel pad, column cover, or

dashboard.

– These objects could be en-

tangled with the steering

wheel, preventing the SRS

frontal airbag, etc. from oper-

ating properly.

– If the SRS frontal airbag de-

ploys, 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 in-

terfere with its proper operation

and could be propelled inside the

vehicle, causing injury.

. The key must not be attached to

heavy, sharp or hard acces-

sories, or another key. If the SRS

knee airbag deploys, those ob-

jects could interfere with its

proper operation and could be

propelled inside the vehicle and

cause 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 ob-

jects could become projectiles that

could seriously injure vehicle occu-

pants.

WARNING

. Do not attach accessories to the

door trim or near either SRS side

airbags and do not place objects

near the SRS side airbags. In the

event of SRS side airbag deploy-

ment, they could be propelled

dangerously toward the vehicle’s

occupants and cause injuries.

. Do not attach a hands-free micro-

phone or any other accessory to

a front pillar, a center pillar, a rear

pillar, the windshield, a side win-

dow, an assist grip, or any other

cabin surface that would be near

a deploying SRS curtain airbag. A

hands-free microphone or other

accessory in such a location

could be propelled through the

cabin with great force by the

curtain airbag, or it could prevent

correct deployment of the curtain

airbag. In either case, the result

could be serious injuries.

WARNING

Do not hang coat hangers or other

hard or pointed objects on the coat

hook. If such items were hanging on

the coat hooks during deployment

of the SRS curtain airbags, they

could cause serious injuries by

coming off the coat hooks and being

thrown through the cabin or by

preventing deployment of the cur-

tain airbags.

Before hanging clothing on the coat

hooks, make sure there are no sharp

objects in the pockets. Hang cloth-

ing directly on the coat hooks with-

out using hangers.

WARNING

. Do not put any kind of clothes or

other objects over the driver’s

seat and front passenger’s seat-

back and do not attach labels or

stickers to the driver’s seat and

front passenger’s seat surface on

or near the SRS side airbag. They

could prevent proper deployment

of the SRS side airbag, reducing

protection available to the occu-

pant of the driver’s seat or the

front passenger’s seat.

. Do not install a seat cover unless

it is a genuine SUBARU seat

cover exclusively designed for

use with the SRS airbag. Even

when using a genuine SUBARU

seat cover, the SRS side airbag

system may not function nor-

mally if the seat cover is not

installed correctly.

& General Precautions regard-

ing SRS Airbag System and

Children

s01ah14

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.

For that reason, we strongly recom-

mend 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 age,

height and weight.

Secure ALL types of child restraint

systems (including forward facing

child restraint systems) 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 “Child Restraint Sys-

tems” �P59.

WARNING

NEVER INSTALL A CHILD RE-

STRAINT SYSTEM IN THE FRONT

PASSENGER’S 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 window.

In 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

s01ah02

This vehicle is equipped with a SUBARU

advanced frontal airbag system that com-

plies with the new advanced frontal airbag

requirements in the amended Federal

Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)

No. 208.

The SUBARU advanced frontal airbag

system automatically determines the de-

ployment 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 deployment.

This vehicle has warning labels on the

driver’s and front passenger’s sun visors

beginning with the phrase “EVEN WITH

ADVANCED AIR BAGS” and a tag at-

tached 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.

This vehicle is equipped with a SUBARU

SRS curtain airbag system that complies

with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety

Standard (FMVSS) No. 226.

For the locations of the SRS airbags, refer

to “Components” �P86.

In a moderate to severe frontal collision,

the following components deploy.

. SRS frontal airbag for driver

. SRS frontal airbag for front passenger

. SRS seat cushion airbags for front

passenger

. SRS curtain airbag*

. SRS knee airbag for driver

*1: When an offset frontal collision that is severe

enough to deploy the front airbag occurs.

These components supplement the seat-

belts by reducing the impact to the

occupant’s head, chest and knees.

In a moderate to severe side impact

collision, the SRS side airbag on the

impacted side of the vehicle deploys

between the occupant and the door panel

and supplements the seatbelt by reducing

the impact to the occupant’s chest and

waist.

In a moderate to severe side impact

collision, the SRS curtain airbag on the

impacted side of the vehicle deploys

between the occupant and the side win-

dow and supplements the seatbelt by

reducing the impact to the occupant’s

NOTE

The SRS side airbag and seatbelt pre-

tensioner are not controlled by the

SUBARU advanced frontal airbag sys-

tem.

! Driver’s SRS frontal airbag

s01ah0202

The 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 sensors

The occupant detection system sensors

are installed between the seat and seat

rails, and monitor the physique and pos-

ture of the front passenger. Using this

information, the occupant detection sys-

tem determines whether the front passen-

ger’s SRS frontal airbag should be de-

ployed or not.

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. 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 preten-

sioner. For details about the seatbelt

pretensioner, refer to “Seatbelt Preten-

sioners” �P55.

CAUTION

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may prevent the

SUBARU advanced frontal airbag

system from functioning correctly

or cause the system to fail.

. Do not apply any strong impact to

the front passenger’s seat such

as by kicking.

. Do not let rear passengers rest

their feet between the front seat-

back and seat cushion.

. Do not spill liquid on the front

passenger’s seat. If liquid is

spilled, wipe it off immediately.

. Do not remove or disassemble

If still the ON indicator remains illuminated

while the OFF indicator turns off, take the

following actions.

. Ensure that no article is placed on the

seat other than the child restraint system

and the child occupant.

. Ensure that the backward-forward po-

sition and seatback of front passenger’s

seat are locked into place securely by

moving the seat back and forth. (Models

equipped with manual seats only)

. Ensure that there is no article left in the

seatback pocket.

If the ON indicator still remains illuminated

while the OFF indicator turns off after

taking relevant corrective actions de-

scribed above, relocate the child restraint

system to the rear seat and immediately

contact your SUBARU dealer for an

inspection.

NOTE

When a child who has outgrown a child

restraint system or a small adult is

seated in the front passenger’s seat,

the SUBARU advanced frontal airbag

system may or may not activate the

front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag

depending on the occupant’s seating

posture. Children should always wear a

seatbelt when sitting in the seat irre-

spective of whether the airbag is deac-

tivated or activated. If the front passen-

ger’s SRS frontal airbag is activated

(the ON indicator remains illuminated

while the OFF indicator turns off), take

the following actions.

. Ensure that no article is placed on

the seat other than the occupant.

If the ON indicator still remains illumi-

nated while the OFF indicator turns off

despite the fact that the actions noted

above have been taken, seat the child/

small adult in the rear seat and imme-

diately contact your SUBARU dealer for

an inspection. Even if the system has

passed the dealer inspection, it is

recommended that on subsequent trips

the child/small adult always take the

rear seat.

Children who have outgrown a child

restraint system should always wear the

seatbelt irrespective of whether the airbag

is deactivated or activated.

! Conditions in which front passen-

ger’s SRS frontal airbag is activated

s01ah0205

The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag

will be activated for deployment upon

impact when any of the following condi-

tions are met regarding the front passen-

ger’s seat.

. When the seat is occupied by an adult.

. When certain items (e.g. jug of water)

are placed on the seat.

When the front passenger’s seat is occu-

pied by an adult, observe the following

precautions. Failure to do so may lessen

the load on the front passenger’s seat,

deactivating the front passenger’s SRS

frontal airbag despite the fact that the seat

is occupied by an adult. This may result in

personal injury.

. Do not allow the rear seat occupant to

lift the front passenger’s seat cushion

using his/her feet.

. Do not place any article under the front

passenger’s seat, or squeeze any article

from behind and under the seat. This may

lift the seat cushion.

. Do not squeeze any article between the

front passenger’s seat and side trim/pillar,

door or center console box. This may lift

the seat cushion.

! Operation

s01ah0207

A) Driver’s side

B) Passenger’s side

1) SRS AIRBAGs deploy as soon as a

collision occurs.

2) After deployment, SRS AIRBAGs start to

deflate immediately so that the driver’s

vision is not obstructed.

The SRS airbags can function only when

the ignition switch is in the “ON” position.

The SUBARU advanced frontal airbag

system is designed to determine the

activation or deactivation condition of the

front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag de-

pending on the characteristic of item(s) or

person on the front passenger’s seat

monitored by the front passenger’s occu-

pant detection sensors. For this reason,

only the driver’s SRS frontal airbag may

deploy in the event of a collision, but this

does not mean failure of the system.

If the following sensors detect a predeter-

mined amount of force during a frontal

collision, the control module sends signals

to the airbag module(s) (only driver’s

module or both driver’s and front passen-

ger’s modules) instructing the module(s) to

inflate the SRS frontal airbag(s).

. The front impact sensors

. The impact sensors in the airbag

control module

On the driver’s side, the SRS knee airbag

also inflates with the SRS frontal airbag.

The driver’s and front passenger’s SRS

frontal airbags use dual stage inflators.

The two inflators of each airbag are

triggered either sequentially or simulta-

neously, depending on the severity of

impact, in the case of the driver’s SRS

frontal airbag and depending on the

severity of impact and the characteristic

of item(s) or person on the seat in the case

of the front passenger’s SRS frontal air-

bag.

! After deployment

s01ah0210

After deployment, the SRS airbag imme-

diately starts to deflate so that the driver’s

vision is not obstructed and the driver’s

ability to maintain control of the vehicle is

not impaired. The time required from

detecting impact to the deflation of the

SRS airbag after deployment is shorter

than the blink of an eye.

Both when only the driver’s SRS frontal

airbag deploys and the driver’s and front

passenger’s SRS frontal airbags deploy,

the driver’s and front passenger’s seatbelt

pretensioners operate at the same time.

When the SRS airbag deploys, a sudden,

fairly loud inflation noise will be heard and

some smoke will be released. These

occurrences are a normal result of the

deployment. This smoke does not indicate

a fire in the vehicle.

CAUTION

Do not touch the SRS airbag system

components around the steering

wheel and dashboard with bare

hands right after deployment. Doing

so can cause burns because the

components can be very hot as a

result of deployment.

! Example of the type of accident

s01ah0211

The driver’s SRS frontal airbag and front

passenger’s SRS frontal airbag are de-

signed as follows.

. To deploy in the event of an accident

involving a moderate to severe frontal

collision

. To function on a one-time-only basis

The driver’s SRS frontal airbag and front

passenger’s SRS frontal airbag are not

designed as follows.

. To deploy in most lesser frontal im-

pacts*

. To deploy in most side or rear impacts

or in most rollover accidents*

*1: Because the necessary protection can be

achieved by the seatbelt alone.

*2: Because deployment of only the driver’s

SRS frontal airbag or both the driver’s and

front passenger’s SRS frontal airbags

would not protect the occupant in those

situations.

SRS airbag deployment depends on the

level of force experienced in the passen-

ger compartment during a collision. That

level differs from one type of collision to

another, and it may have no bearing on the

visible damage done to the vehicle itself.

! SRS side airbag

s01ah0302

The SRS side airbag is stored in the door

side of each front seat seatback, which

bears an “SRS AIRBAG” mark.

In a moderate to severe side impact

collision, the SRS side airbag on the

impacted side of the vehicle deploys

between the occupant and the door panel

and supplements the seatbelt by reducing

the impact on the occupant’s chest and

waist. The SRS side airbag operates only

for front seat occupants.

! SRS curtain airbag

s01ah0303

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

collision, the SRS curtain airbag on the

impacted side of the vehicle deploys

between the occupant and the side win-

dow 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 supple-

ment 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 win-

dow and supplement the seatbelt by

reducing the impact to the occupant’s

head and chest.

! Operation

s01ah0301

The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain

airbag can function only when the ignition

switch is in the “ON” position.

The following airbags deploy indepen-

dently 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 indepen-

dently 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”

�P86.

! After deployment

s01ah0304

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.

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 compo-

nents 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.

! Example of the type of accident

s01ah0305

The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain

airbag are designed as follows:

. To deploy in the event of an accident

involving a moderate to severe side impact

collision

. To function on a one-time-only basis

The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain

airbag are not designed to deploy in the

following cases:

. In most lesser side impact

. In most frontal or most rear impacts

(because the SRS side airbag and SRS

curtain airbag deployment would not pro-

tect the occupant in those situations)

The SRS curtain airbags are also de-

signed to deploy when the vehicle is in an

extremely inclined state such as during a

rollover. They are not designed to deploy in

most lesser inclined state.

SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag

deployment depend on the level of force

experienced in the passenger compart-

ment during a side impact collision. That

level differs from one type of collision to

another, and it may have no bearing on the

visible damage done to the vehicle itself.

center pillar, a rear pillar, the

windshield, a side window, an

assist grip, or any other cabin

surface that would be near a

deploying SRS curtain airbag.

– Installation of additional elec-

trical/electronic equipment

such as a mobile two-way

radio on or near the SRS air-

bag system components and/

or wiring is not advisable. This

could interfere with proper

operation of the SRS airbag

system.

– Modifications on or inside the

front door panels for the pur-

the pressure of an impact, are

located in the doors. Do not

modify any components of the

doors or door trims, such as the

addition of door speakers for

example. Any modifications to

the doors will create a risk of the

airbag system becoming inop-

erative or unintended airbag de-

ployment.

Do not perform any of the following

modifications. Such modifications

can interfere with proper operation

of the SRS airbag system.

. Attachment of any equipment

(bush bar, winches, snow plow,

skid plate, etc.) other than genu-

ine SUBARU accessory parts to

the front end.
