can injure an occupant whose body

is too close to SRS airbag.

It is also important to wear a

seatbelt to help avoid injuries that

can result when the SRS airbag

contacts an occupant who is not

seated in the proper upright posi-

tion.

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 deployment force.

WARNING

S_103138-MW

. Keep arms away from either door

or its internal trim. Vehicle occu-

pants could be injured in the event

of SRS side airbag deployment.

. 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, caus-

ing injury.

CAUTION

. When the SRS airbag deploys,

some smoke will be released. This

smoke could cause breathing pro-

blems for people with a history of

asthma or other breathing trouble.

If you or your passengers have

breathing problems after SRS air-

bag 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

section 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” �P456.

. Do not put any objects (including

straps or cords) over the steering

wheel pad, column cover, or dash-

board.

– 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 inter-

fere with its proper operation and

could be propelled inside the ve-

hicle, causing injury.

WARNING

S_103123-W

Do not attach accessories to the

windshield, or fit an extra-wide mirror

over the inside rear view mirror. If the

SRS airbag deploys, those objects

could become projectiles that could

seriously injure vehicle occupants.

WARNING

S_103124-MW

. 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.

. Never hang or place coat hangers

or other hard or pointed objects

near the side windows. If such

items are present when the SRS

curtain airbags deploy, they could

be thrown through the passenger

compartment and cause serious

injuries. They could also prevent

proper operation of the SRS cur-

tain airbags.

WARNING

S_602905-W

Do not hang coat hangers or other

hard or pointed objects on the coat

hooks. 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 curtain airbags.

Before hanging clothing on the coat

hooks, make sure there are no sharp

objects in the pockets. Hang clothing

directly on the coat hooks without

using hangers.

WARNING

S_103126-MW

. Do not put any kind of clothes or

other objects over the driver’s seat

and front passenger’s seatback

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 or the

SRS seat cushion airbag. They

could prevent proper deployment

of the SRS side airbag or the SRS

seat cushion airbag, reducing pro-

tection available to the occupant 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 or the SRS seat

cushion airbag may not function

normally if the seat cover is not

installed correctly.
