Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags


*SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System airbag)


*SRS: This stands for supplemental restraint system. This name is used because the airbag system supple- ments the vehicle’s seatbelts.


„ Vehicle with driver’s and front passen- ger’s SRS airbags and lap/shoulder re- straints


Your vehicle is equipped with a supplemental restraint system in addition to a lap/shoulder belt at each front seating position. The supplemental restraint system (SRS) consists of two airbag (driver’s and front passenger’s frontal air- bags) or four airbags (driver’s and front passenger’s frontal airbags and driver’s and front passenger’s side airbags). These SRS airbags are designed only as a supple- ment to the primary protection provided by the seatbelt.


y To obtain maximum protection in the event of an accident, the driver and all passengers in the

vehicle should always wear seatbelts when the vehicle is moving. The SRS airbag is designed only as a supplement to the primary protection provided by the seatbelt. It does not do away with the need to fasten seatbelts. In combina- tion with the seatbelts, it offers the best com- bined protection in case of a serious accident. Not wearing a seatbelt increases the chance of severe injury or death in a crash even when the car has the SRS airbag. For instructions and precautions concerning the seatbelt system, see the “Seatbelts” sec- tions in this chapter. y Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to the SRS airbag. Because the SRS airbag deploys with considerable speed – faster than the blink of an eye – and force to protect in high speed collisions, the force of an airbag can injure an occupant whose body is too close to SRS air- bag. It is also important to wear your seatbelt to help avoid injuries that can result when the SRS air- bag contacts an occupant not in proper posi- tion such as one thrown forward during pre- accident braking. Even when properly positioned, there remains a possibility that an occupant may suffer minor

injury such as abrasions and bruises to the face or arms because of the SRS airbag deploy- ment force. y The SRS airbags deploy with considerable speed and force. Occupants who are out of proper position when the SRS airbag deploys could suffer very serious injuries. Because the SRS airbag needs enough space for deploy- ment, the driver should always sit upright and well back in the seat as far from the steering wheel as practical while still maintaining full ve- hicle control and the front passenger should move the seat as far back as possible and sit upright and well back in the seat. y Do not place any objects over or near the SRS airbag cover or between you and the SRS airbag. If the SRS airbag deploys, those objects could interfere with its proper operation and could be propelled inside the car and cause in- jury.

y Put children aged 12 and under in the rear seat properly restrained at all times. The SRS airbag deploys with considerable speed and force and can injure or even kill children, espe- cially if they are 12 years of age and under and are not restrained or improperly restrained. Be- cause children are lighter and weaker than adults, their risk of being injured from deploy- ment is greater. For that reason, we strongly recommend that ALL children (including those in child seats and those that have outgrown child restraint devic-

y When the SRS airbag deploys, some smoke will be released. This smoke could cause breathing problems for people with a history of asthma or other breathing trouble. If you or your passengers have breathing problems after SRS airbag deploys, get fresh air promptly. y A deploying SRS airbag releases hot gas. Oc- cupants could get burnt if they come into direct contact with the hot gas.


NOTE When you sell your vehicle, we urge you to explain to the buyer that it is equipped with SRS airbags by alerting him to the applicable section in this owner’s manual.

vehicle.


If the sensors detect a certain predetermined amount of force during a frontal collision, the control module sends signals to the frontal airbag modules instructing them to inflate the SRS frontal airbags. Then both air- bag modules produce gas, which instantly inflates driver’s and passenger’s SRS frontal airbags. After the deployment, the SRS airbags immediately start to de- flate so that the driver’s vision is not obstructed. The time required from detecting impact to the deflation of the SRS airbag after deployment is shorter than the blink of an eye.


The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag deploys to- gether with driver’s SRS frontal airbag even when no one occupies the front passenger’s seat.


Although it is highly unlikely that the SRS airbag would activate in a non-accident situation, should it occur, the SRS airbag will deflate quickly, not obscuring vi- sion and will not interfere with the driver’s ability to maintain control of the vehicle.


When the SRS airbag deploys, a sudden, fairly loud inflation noise will be heard and some smoke will be released. These occurrences are normal result of the deployment. This smoke does not indicate a fire in the

Do not touch the SRS airbag system compo- nents around the steering wheel and dash- board with bare hands right after deployment. Doing so can cause burns because the compo- nents can be very hot as a result of deployment.


The SRS frontal airbag is designed to deploy in the event of an accident involving a moderate to severe frontal collision. It is basically not designed to deploy in lesser frontal impacts because the necessary pro- tection can be achieved by the seatbelt alone. Also, it is basically not designed to deploy in side or rear im- pacts or in roll-over accidents because deployment of the SRS frontal airbag would not help the occupant in those situations. The SRS airbag is designed to func- tion on a one-time-only basis.


SRS airbag deployment depends on the level of force experienced in the passenger 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.

A head-on collision against a thick concrete wall at a vehicle speed of 12 to 19 mph (20 to 30 km/h) or high- er activates the SRS frontal airbag. The SRS frontal airbag will also be activated when the vehicle is ex- posed to a frontal impact similar in fashion and magni- tude to the above-mentioned collision.

ploy?


There are many types of collisions which might not necessarily require SRS frontal airbag deployment. If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a telephone pole or sign pole, or if it slides under a truck’s load bed, or if it sustains an oblique offset frontal impact, the SRS frontal airbag may not deploy depending on the level of accident forces involved.

In an accident where the vehicle is impacted more than once, the SRS frontal airbag deploys only once.


Example: In the case of a double collision, first with an- other vehicle, then against a concrete wall in immedi- ate succession, once the SRS frontal airbag is activated on the first impact, it will not be activated on the second.

front seatback, which bears an “SRS AIRBAG” label. In a moderate to severe side impact collision, the SRS side airbag on the impacted side of the vehicle de- ploys between the occupant and the door panel and supplements the seatbelt by reducing the impact on the occupant’s chest and head.


The SRS side airbag is designed as only a sup- plement to the primary protection provided by the seatbelt. It does not do away with the need to fasten seatbelts. It is also important to wear your seatbelt to help avoid injuries that can re- sult when an occupant is not seated in a proper upright position.

Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to either front door. The SRS side airbag is stored in both front seat seatbacks next to the door, and it provides protection by deploying rapidly (faster than the blink of an eye) in the event of a side impact collision. However, the force of SRS side airbag deployment may cause injuries if your head or other body parts are too close to the SRS side airbag.

Never allow a child to kneel on the front pas- senger’s seat facing the side window or to wrap his/her arms around the front seatback. In the event of an accident, the force of the SRS side airbag deployment could injure the child seri- ously because his/her head or arms or other body parts are too close to the SRS side airbag. Since your vehicle is also equipped with a pas- senger’s SRS frontal airbag, children aged 12
and under should be placed in the rear seat anyway and should be properly restrained at all times.

The SRS side airbag can function only when the igni- tion switch is in the “ON” position.


The driver’s and front passenger’s SRS side airbags deploy independently of each other since each has its own impact sensor. Also, the SRS side airbag deploys independently of the frontal airbags in the steering wheel and instrument panel.


An impact sensor is incorporated into each of the ve- hicle’s center pillars. If either sensor detects a certain predetermined amount of force during a side impact collision, the control module sends a signal to the side airbag module on the impacted side of the vehicle, in- structing it to inflate the SRS side airbag. Then the side airbag module produces gas, which instantly in- flates the SRS side airbag. After the deployment, the SRS side airbag immediately starts to deflate. The time required from detecting impact to the deflation of the SRS side airbag after deployment is shorter than the blink of an eye.


When the SRS side airbag deploys, a sudden, fairly loud inflation noise will be heard and some smoke will be released. These occurrences are normal result of the deployment. This smoke does not indicate a fire in the vehicle.


Do not touch the SRS side airbag system com- ponents around the front seatback with bare hands right after deployment. Doing so can cause burns because the components can be very hot as a result of deployment.


The SRS side airbag is designed to deploy in the event of an accident involving a moderate to severe side im- pact collision. It is basically not designed to deploy in lesser side impact. Also, it is basically not designed to deploy in frontal or rear impacts because SRS side air- bag deployment would not help the occupant in those situations.

Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS airbag system. For required servicing of the SRS airbag, see your nearest SUBARU dealer. Tampering with or disconnecting the system’s wiring could re- sult in accidental inflation of the SRS airbag or could make the system inoperative, which may result in serious injury. The wiring harnesses of the SRS airbag system are covered with yellow insulation and system connectors are yellow for easy identification.


If you need service or repair in areas listed be- low, we recommend that you have an autho- rized SUBARU dealer perform the work.

In the event that the SRS airbag is deployed, re- placement of the system should be performed only by an authorized SUBARU dealer. When the components of the SRS airbag system are re- placed, use only genuine SUBARU parts.


To ensure their long-term reliability, the SRS airbags must be inspected by a SUBARU dealer ten years af- ter the date of manufacture, which is shown on the cer- tification plate attached to the driver’s door jamb. NOTE In the following cases, contact your SUBARU deal- er as soon as possible. y The front part of the vehicle was involved in an accident in which the SRS frontal airbags did not deploy. y The pad section of the steering wheel or front passenger’s frontal airbag cover is scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged. In addition, if your vehicle is equipped with SRS side airbags, contact your SUBARU dealer as

soon as possible in the following cases. y Either center pillar or a nearby area of the vehi- cle was involved in an accident in which the SRS side airbag did not deploy. y The fabric or leather of either front seatback is cut, frayed, or otherwise damaged.


„ Precautions against vehicle modifica-


tion


y To avoid accidental activation of the system or rendering the system inoperative, which may result in serious injury, no modifications should be made to any components or wiring of the SRS airbag system. This includes following modifications:


y Installation of custom steering wheels y Attachment of additional trim materials to the dashboard y Installation of custom seats (for vehicles with SRS side airbags only) y Replacement of seat fabric or leather (for vehicles with SRS side airbags only) y Installation of additional fabric or leather on the front seat (for vehicles with SRS side


airbags only)


y Installation of additional electrical/electronic equipment such as a mobile two-way radio on or near the SRS airbag system components and/or wiring is not advisable. This could inter- fere with proper operation of the SRS airbag system.


Do not perform any of the following modifica- tions. Such modifications can interfere with proper operation of the SRS airbag system. y Attachment of any equipment (brush bar, winches, snow plow, skid plate, etc.) other than SUBARU genuine accessory parts to the front end. y Modification of the suspension system or front end structure. y Installation of a tire of different size and con- struction from the tires specified on the tire placard attached to the driver’s door jamb. y Attachment of any equipment (side steps or side sill protectors, etc.) other than SUBARU genuine accessory parts to the side body.

„ Replacing lost transmitters If you lose a transmitter or want to purchase additional transmitters (up to four can be programmed), you should re-program all of your transmitters for security reasons. It is recommended that you have your dealer program all of your transmitters into your system. T Programming the transmitters The keyless entry system is equipped with a special code learning feature that allows you to program new transmitter codes into the system or to delete old ones. The system can learn up to four unique transmit- ter codes. The four transmitter codes may be the same or different.

3. Press and release any button on the transmitter that you wish to program into the system. The horn will sound two times to indicate that the transmitter has been programmed.


Any additional transmitters can also be programmed at this time. Repeat steps 1 through 3 for an additional transmitter. To exit the programming mode: 1. After all of your transmitters are programmed, re- move the key from the ignition switch. The horn will sound three times to indicate that the


system has exited the programming mode. 2. Make sure that the keyless entry system properly operates by operating each transmitter. T Deleting old transmitter codes The control unit of the keyless entry system has four memory locations to store transmitter codes, giving it the ability to operate with up to four transmitters. When you lose a transmitter, the lost transmitter’s code re- mains in the memory. For security reasons, lost trans- mitter codes should be deleted from the memory. To delete old transmitter codes, program four trans- mitter codes into the system. If you have only one cur- rent transmitter, program it four times. If you have two current transmitters, program each one twice. If you have three current transmitters, program two of them once and the third one twice. This process will leave only current transmitter codes in the system’s memo- ry. NOTE Make sure no one else is operating their keyless entry system within range of your vehicle when programming transmitters. If someone else were to operate their remote transmitter while you are programming your transmitters, it is possible that their transmitter code will be programmed into your system, allowing them unauthorized access

Flat tires


If you have a flat tire while driving, never brake sud- denly; keep driving straight ahead while gradually re- ducing speed. Then slowly pull off the road to a safe place.


„ Changing a flat tire


1. Park on a hard, level surface, whenever possible, then stop the engine. 2. Set the parking brake securely and shift a manual transmission vehicle in reverse or an automatic trans- mission vehicle in the “P” (Park) position. 3. Turn on the hazard warning flasher and have ev- eryone get out of the vehicle.


y Do not jack up the vehicle on an incline or a loose road surface. The jack can come out of the jacking point or sink into the ground and this can result in a severe accident. y Use only the jack provided with your vehicle. The jack supplied with the vehicle is designed only for changing a tire. Never get under the ve- hicle while supporting the vehicle with this jack. y Always turn the engine off before raising the flat tire off the ground using the jack. Never swing or push the vehicle supported with the jack. The jack can come out of the jacking point due to a jolt and this can result in a severe acci- dent.
