*SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System airbag)


*SRS: This stands for supplemental re- straint system. This name is used be- cause the airbag system supplements the vehicle’s seatbelts.


Your vehicle is equipped with a crash sensing and diagnostic module, which will record the use of the seatbelt(s) by the driver and front passenger when any of the SRS frontal and side airbags deploy. & Vehicle with driver’s and


front passenger’s SRS air- bags and lap/shoulder re- straints


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


The system also controls front seatbelt pretensioners. For operation instructions and precautions concerning the seatbelt pretensioner, see the “Front seatbelt pre- tensioners” section in this chapter.


WARNING


. To obtain maximum protection in the event of an accident, the driver and all passengers in the vehicle should always wear seat- belts when the vehicle is moving. The SRS airbag is designed only as a supplement to the primary protection provided by the seat- belt. It does not do away with the need to fasten seatbelts. In com- bination with the seatbelts, it offers the best combined protec- tion in case 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, see the “Seatbelts” section in this chapter.


. Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to the SRS airbag. Because the SRS airbag deploys with


Black plate (61,1)


Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags 1-35


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 airbag. It is also important to wear your seatbelt to help avoid injuries that can result when the SRS airbag contacts an occupant not in proper position such as one thrown forward during pre-acci- dent 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 de- ployment force.


. 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 vehicle control – CONTINUED –


北米Model "A1920BE-B" EDITED: 2006/ 9/ 19


1-36 Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags


and the front passenger should move the seat as far back as possible and sit upright and well back in the seat.


. 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 vehicle and cause injury.


WARNING


. 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, especially if they are 12 years of age and under and are not restrained or improperly restrained. Because children are lighter and weaker than adults, their risk of being injured from deployment is greater. For that reason, we strongly recommend that ALL children (including those in child seats and those that have outgrown child restraint devices) sit in the REAR seat properly restrained at all times in a child restraint device or in a seatbelt, whichever is appropriate for the child’s age, height and weight. Secure ALL types of child re- straint devices (including for- ward facing child seats) in the REAR seats at all times. According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seat- ing positions. For instructions and precautions concerning the child restraint system, see the “Child restraint


Black plate (62,1)


systems” section in this chapter. . NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FACING CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT SEAT. DOING SO RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE CHILD BY PLACING THE CHILD’S HEAD TOO CLOSE TO THE SRS AIRBAG.


. Never allow a child to stand up, or to kneel on the front passen- ger’s seat, or never hold a child on your lap or in your arms. The SRS airbag deploys with consid- erable force and can injure or even kill the child.


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 breathing trouble. If you or your passengers have breathing pro- blems after SRS airbag deploys, get fresh air promptly.


北米Model "A1920BE-B" EDITED: 2006/ 9/ 19


. 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 explain to the buyer that it is equipped with SRS airbags by alerting him or her to the applicable section in this Owner’s Manual.

Your 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 sys- tem automatically determines the deploy- the driver’s SRS frontal ment airbag at the time of deployment as well as to activate the front whether or not passenger’s SRS frontal airbag and, if activated, the SRS frontal airbag at the time of deploy- ment. Your 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 attached 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. The driver’s SRS frontal airbag is stowed in the center portion of the steering wheel. The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag is stowed near the top of the dashboard under an “SRS AIRBAG” mark.


In a moderate to severe frontal collision, the driver’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbags deploy and supplement the seatbelts by reducing the impact on the driver’s and front passenger’s head and chest.

WARNING


Never hold a child on your lap or in your arms. The SRS airbag deploys with considerable force and can injure or even kill the child.


The SRS airbag deploys with con- siderable speed and force. Occu- pants who are out of proper position when the SRS airbag deploys could suffer very serious injuries. Be- cause the SRS airbag needs enough space for deployment, the driver should always sit upright and well 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. It is also important to wear your

driver’s seat position sensor under the driver’s seat. Whether or not the driver is wearing the seatbelt is monitored by the seatbelt buckle switch. Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause the seatbelt buckle switch and/or the seat position sensor to malfunction, preventing the Subaru ad- vanced frontal airbag system from func- tioning correctly or causing the system to fail. . Do not place articles/metal objects or install any accessory other than a genuine the driver’s SUBARU accessory under seat. Do not allow the rear seat occupant to kick the driver’s seat or push up its bottom surface with his/her feet. . Do not place a magnet near the seatbelt buckle or under the driver’s seat.


If the seatbelt buckle switch and/or the driver’s seat position sensor have failed, the SRS airbag system warning light will illuminate. Although the driver’s SRS frontal airbag can deploy regardless of the backward-forward adjustment of the driver’s seat position even when the warning light is on, have the system inspected by your SUBARU dealer im- mediately if the SRS airbag system warn- ing light comes on.


WARNING


Do not attach accessories to the windshield, or fit an extra-wide mir- ror over the rear view mirror. If the SRS airbag deploys, those objects could become projectiles that could seriously injure vehicle occupants.


! Driver’s SRS frontal airbag The driver’s SRS frontal airbag uses a dual stage inflator. The inflator operates in different ways depending on the severity of impact, backward-forward adjustment of the driver’s seat position and whether or not he/she is wearing the seatbelt. The backward-forward adjustment of the driver’s seat position is monitored by the

! Front passenger’s SRS frontal air-


bag


The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag uses a dual stage inflator. The inflator operates in different ways depending on the severity of impact. The total load on the seat is monitored by the occupant detection system’s weight sensor located under the seat. The system has another sensor that monitors the tension of the front passen- ger seatbelt. Using the total seat load and seatbelt tension data from the sensors, the occupant detection system determines whether the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag should or should not be inflated. 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. Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may prevent the Subaru ad- vanced frontal airbag system from func- tioning correctly or cause the system to fail.

北米Model "A1920BE-B" EDITED: 2006/ 9/ 19


The SRS airbag can function only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position. The Subaru advanced frontal airbag sys- tem is designed to determine the activa- tion or deactivation condition of the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag depend- ing on the total load on the front passen- ger’s seat monitored by the front passen- ger’s occupant detection system weight sensor. 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 front sub sensors inside both front fenders and the impact sensors in the airbag control module detect a predeter- mined amount of force during a frontal collision, the control module sends signals (only driver’s to the airbag module(s) module or both driver’s and front passen- ger’s modules) instructing the module(s) to inflate the SRS frontal airbag(s). 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, backward-forward adjustment of the driver’s seat position and fastening/ unfastening of the seatbelt in the case of the driver’s SRS frontal airbag and de- pending on the severity of impact and the

total load on the seat in the case of the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag. After deployment, the SRS airbag immediately starts to deflate so that the driver’s vision is not obstructed. The time required from the detecting impact 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.


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 vision interfere with the driver’s and will not 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 a normal result of the deployment. This smoke does not indicate a fire in the vehicle.

hands right after deployment. Doing so can cause burns because the components can be very hot as a result of deployment.


The driver’s SRS frontal airbag and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag are de- signed 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 be- cause the necessary protection can be achieved by the seatbelt alone. Also, they are basically not designed to deploy in side or rear impacts or in roll-over acci- dents because deployment of only the driver’s SRS frontal airbag or both driver’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbags would not help the occupant in those situations. The driver’s and front passen- ger’s SRS frontal airbags are designed to function on a one-time-only basis.


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.

Only the driver’s SRS frontal airbag or both driver’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbags may be activated when the vehicle sustains a hard impact in the undercarriage area from the road surface (such as when the vehicle plunges into a deep ditch, is severely impacted or knocked hard against an obstacle on the road such as a curb).


A head-on collision against a thick con- crete wall at a vehicle speed of 12 to 19
mph (20 to 30 km/h) or higher activates only the driver’s SRS frontal airbag or both driver’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbags. The airbag(s) will also be acti- vated when the vehicle is exposed to a frontal in fashion and magnitude to the collision described above.

First impact


1) 2) Second impact


In an accident where the vehicle is the driver’s impacted more than once, and/or front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag(s) will deploy only once on the first impact.


Example: In the case of a double collision, first with another vehicle, then against a concrete wall in immediate succession, once either or both of the driver’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbags is/are activated on the first impact, it/they will not be activated on the second impact.


& SRS side airbag The SRS side airbag is stored in the door side of each front seat seatback, which bears an “SRS AIRBAG” label. In a moderate to severe side impact the SRS side airbag on the collision, 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 head.


WARNING


The SRS side airbag is designed as only a supplement to the primary protection provided by the seatbelt. They do not do away with the need to fasten seatbelts. It is also impor- tant to wear your seatbelt to help avoid injuries that can result when an occupant is not seated in a proper upright position.

WARNING


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 parts of the body are too close to the SRS side airbag.

Then the side airbag module produces gas, which instantly inflates the SRS side airbag. After deployment, the SRS side airbag will deflate in a few seconds.


The SRS side airbag deploys even when no one occupies the seat on the side on which an impact is applied.


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.

Immobilizer (Turbo models)


The immobilizer system is designed to prevent an unauthorized person from starting the engine. Only keys registered with your vehicle’s immobilizer system can be used to operate your vehicle. Even if an unregistered key fits into the ignition switch and can be turned to the “START” position, the engine will automatically stop after several seconds.


If


the transponder


Each immobilizer key contains a trans- in which the key’s ID code is ponder stored. When a key is inserted into the ignition switch and turned to the “ON” position, transmits the key’s ID code to the immobilizer system’s receiver. the transmitted ID code matches the ID code registered in the immobilizer system, the system allows the engine to be started. Since the ID code is transmitted and acted upon almost in- stantly, the immobilizer system does not impede normal starting of the engine. If the engine fails to start, pull out the key once before trying again. (Refer to the “Ignition switch” section in chapter 3.)


This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This


inter- device may not cause harmful this device must ference, and (2) accept any interference received, in- cluding interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not ex- pressly approved by the party respon- sible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equip- ment. NOTE To protect your vehicle from theft, please pay close attention to the fol- lowing security precautions: . Never leave your vehicle unattended with its keys inside. . Before leaving your vehicle, close all windows and lock the doors and rear gate. . Do not leave spare keys or any record of your key number in the vehicle.

& Security indicator light The security indicator light deters potential thieves by indicating that the vehicle is equipped with an immobilizer system. It begins flashing (approximately once every 3 seconds) approximately 60 seconds after the ignition switch is turned from the “ON” position to the “Acc” or “LOCK” position or immediately after the key is pulled out. If the security indicator light does not flash, the immobilizer system may be faulty. If this occurs, we recommend that you contact your SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.


In case an unauthorized key is used (e.g. an imitation key), the security indicator light comes on. NOTE Even if the security indicator light flashes irregularly or its fuse blows (the light does not flash if its fuse is blown), the immobilizer system will function normally.


& Key replacement Your key number plate and security ID plate will be required if you ever need a replacement key made. Any new key must be registered for use with your vehicle’s immobilizer system before it can be used. Up to four keys can be registered for use with one vehicle. For security, all the keys registered with your vehicle’s immobilizer system will have their ID codes erased and re- registered when a new key is made. Therefore, all of your vehicle’s keys must be presented when a new key is regis- tered. Any key that is not re-registered when a new key is made cannot be used after the other keys are re-registered. For information on replacement keys and on the registration of keys with your immo- bilizer system, contact your SUBARU dealer.
