The SRS airbag system warning light will
show normal system operation by illumi-
nating for approximately 6 seconds when
the ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position.
The diagnostic system monitors the
components to ensure normal operation.

following conditions, immediately stop
the vehicle in a safe place, and consult
a SUBARU dealer. Unless a techni-
cian checks and repairs the system as

properly in the event of a collision,
which may result in injury.

ing light

tive, which may result in serious
injury.

serious injury, no modifications
should be made to any compo-
nents or wiring of the SRS airbag
system.
This includes following modifica-
tions.
– Installation of custom steering
wheels
– Attachment of additional trim
materials to the dashboard

microphone or any other ac-
cessory to a front pillar, a
center pillar, a rear pillar, the

assist grip, or any other cabin
surface that would be near a
deploying SRS curtain airbag.
– Installation of additional elec-
trical/electronic equipment
