■Notes for the “keyless access” entry function
●Even when the access key is within the effective range (detection areas),
the system may not operate properly in the following cases: • The access key is too close to the window or outside door handle, near the ground, or in a high place when the doors are locked or unlocked. • The access key is near the ground or in a high place, or too close to
the rear bumper center when the trunk lid is unlocked.
• The access key is on the instrument panel, rear shelf or floor, in the door pockets or glove box or auxiliary box when the engine is started or push-button ignition switch modes are changed.
●Do not leave the access key on top of the instrument panel or near the door pockets when exiting the vehicle. Depending on the radio wave reception conditions, it may be detected by the antenna outside the cabin and the door will become lockable from the outside, possibly trapping the access key inside the vehicle.
●As long as the access key is within the effective range, the doors may be
locked or unlocked by anyone.
●Even if the access key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to start
the engine if the access key is near the window.
●The doors may unlock if a large amount of water splashes on the door handle, such as in the rain or in a car wash when the access key is within the effective range. (The door will automatically be locked after approxi- mately 30 seconds if the doors are not opened and closed.)
●Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door. ●If the remote keyless entry system is used to lock the doors when the access key is near the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not be unlocked by the “keyless access” entry function. (Use the remote key- less entry system to unlock the doors.)
●A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle may prevent the doors from being unlocked. In this case, return the door handle to the original position and check that the doors unlock before pulling the door handle again.

Seatbelt pretensioners (front seats)
The pretensioner helps the seat- belt to quickly restrain the occu- pant by retracting the seatbelt when the vehicle is subjected to certain types of severe frontal collision and/or side collision.
The pretensioner may not acti- vate in the event of a minor frontal impact, a side impact or a rear impact.

■Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to extend so that you can move around fully.
■Automatic locking retractor (ALR)
When a passenger's shoulder belt is completely extended and then retracted even slightly, the belt is locked in that position and cannot be extended. This feature is used to hold the child restraint system (CRS) firmly. To free the belt again, fully retract the belt and then pull the belt out once more. (→P. 136)
■Child seatbelt usage
The seatbelts of your vehicle are principally designed for persons of adult size. ●Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child
becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seatbelt. (→P. 132)
●When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's
seatbelt, follow the instructions on P. 58 regarding seatbelt usage.
■Seatbelt pretensioners
●Seatbelt pretensioners are not designed to activate in minor frontal or
side impact, in rear impacts or in roll-over accidents.
●The following four components operate simultaneously when the vehicle
is subjected to a severe frontal collision. • Seatbelt pretensioner for driver • Seatbelt pretensioner for front passenger • SRS front airbag for driver • SRS front airbag for front passenger*
*: This does not operate while the occupant detection system determines to deactivate the airbag operation. For details, refer to “Front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag” (→P. 95)
●The following two components operate simultaneously when the vehicle is subjected to a severe collision on the driver’s seat side of the vehicle. • Seatbelt pretensioner for driver • Side airbag for driver

●Pretensioners are designed to function on a one-time-only basis. In the event that a pretensioner is activated, both the driver’s and front passen- ger’s seatbelt retractor assemblies must be replaced only by SUBARU dealer. When replacing seatbelt retractor assemblies, use only genuine SUBARU parts.
●If either front seatbelt does not retract or cannot be pulled out due to a malfunction or activation of the pretensioner, contact your SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.
●If the front seatbelt retractor assembly or surrounding area has been
damaged, contact your SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.
●When you sell your vehicle, we urge you to explain to the buyer that it has seatbelt pretensioners by alerting the buyer to the contents of this section.
■Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated

WARNING
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident. Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury. ■Wearing a seatbelt
●Ensure that all passengers wear a seatbelt. ●Always wear a seatbelt properly. ●Each seatbelt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seatbelt
for more than one person at once, including children.
●SUBARU recommends that children be seated in the rear seat and always
use a seatbelt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.
●To achieve a proper seating position, do not recline the seat more than necessary. The seatbelt is most effective when the occupants are sitting up straight and well back in the seats.
●Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm. ●Always wear your seatbelt low and snug across your hips.
■Pregnant women
Obtain medical advice and wear the seat- belt in the proper way. (→P. 58) Women who are pregnant should position the lap belt as low as possible over the hips in the same manner as other occu- pants. Extend the shoulder belt com- pletely over the shoulder and position the belt across the chest. Avoid belt contact over the rounding of the abdominal area. If the seatbelt is not worn properly, not only the pregnant woman, but also the fetus could suffer death or serious injury as a result of sudden braking or a colli- sion.

■Seatbelt damage and wear
●Do not damage the seatbelts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be
jammed in the door.
●Inspect the seatbelt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose parts. Replace a damaged seatbelt immediately. Damaged seatbelts can- not protect an occupant from death or serious injury.
●Ensure that the belt and plate are locked and the belt is not twisted.
If the seatbelt does not function correctly, immediately contact your SUBARU dealer.
●Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has been
involved in a serious accident, even if there's no obvious damage.
●Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of the seatbelts. Have any necessary repairs carried out by your SUBARU dealer. Inappropriate handling of the pretensioner may prevent it from operating properly, resulting in death or serious injury.
■When using the seatbelt guide
●Always make sure that the belt is not twisted, and runs freely through the
guide.
●Regardless of whether the guide is used or not, always secure the seatbelt
guide button.
●Do not hang from or pull the guide forcefully.
■Before using the rear seatbelts
