. Ensure that the backward-forward po- sition and seatback of front passenger’s seat are locked into place securely by moving the seat back and forth. (Models equipped with manual seats only)

If the ON indicator still illuminates while the OFF indicator extinguishes after taking relevant corrective actions described above, relocate the child restraint system to the rear seat and immediately contact your SUBARU dealer for an inspection. NOTE When a child who has outgrown a child restraint system or a small adult is seated in the front passenger’s seat, the SUBARU advanced frontal airbag system may or may not activate the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag depending on the occupant’s seating posture. If the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag is activated (the ON indicator illuminates while the OFF indicator extinguishes), take the follow- ing actions. . Ensure that no article is placed on the seat other than the occupant. . Ensure that there is no article left in the seatback pocket.

If the ON indicator still illuminates while the OFF indicator extinguishes despite

it

the fact that the actions noted above have been taken, seat the child/small adult in the rear seat and immediately contact your SUBARU dealer for an inspection. Even if the system has passed the dealer inspection, is recommended that on subsequent trips the child/small adult always take the rear seat. Children who have outgrown a child restraint system should always wear the seatbelt irrespective of whether the airbag is deactivated or activated. ! Conditions in which front passen- ger’s SRS frontal airbag is activated The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag will be activated for deployment upon impact when any of the following condi- tions is met regarding the front passen- ger’s seat. . When the seat is occupied by an adult. . When a heavy article is placed on the seat.

When the front passenger’s seat is occu- pied by an adult, observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may lessen the load on the front passenger’s seat, deactivating the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag despite the fact that the seat is occupied by an adult.

. Do not allow the rear seat occupant to the front passenger’s seat cushion lift using his/her feet. . Do not place any article under the front passenger’s seat, or squeeze any article from behind and under the seat. This may lift the seat cushion. . Do not squeeze any article between the front passenger’s seat and side trim/ pillar, door or center console box. This may lift the seat cushion.

! If the passenger’s frontal airbag OFF

! Operation

1) Driver’s side 2) Passenger’s side

The SRS airbag can function only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position. The SUBARU advanced frontal airbag

Black plate (78,1)

system is designed to determine the activation or deactivation condition of the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag depending on the total load on the front passenger’s seat monitored by the front passenger’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 simultaneously, depending on the severity of impact in the case of the driver’s SRS frontal airbag and depending 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 imme- diately starts to deflate 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 short- er 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.

CAUTION

Do not touch the SRS airbag system components around the steering wheel and dashboard with bare 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.

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 waist. The SRS side airbag operates only for front seat occupants. The SRS curtain airbag on each side of the cabin is stored in the roof side (between the front pillar and a point over the rear seat). An “SRS AIRBAG” mark is located at the top of each center pillar. In a moderate to severe side impact collision, the SRS curtain airbag on the impacted side of the vehicle deploys between the occupant and the side window and supplements the seatbelt by reducing the impact on the occupant’s head.

. Since your vehicle is equipped with SRS curtain airbags, do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to the front or rear door on either side. Also, do not put your head, arms and hands out of the win- dow. The SRS curtain airbag on each side of the cabin is stored in the roof side (between the front pillar and a point over the rear seat), and it provides protection by deploying rapidly (faster than the blink of an eye) in the event of a side impact.

WARNING

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

WARNING

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

. Never allow a child to kneel on any passenger’s seat facing the side window or put their head, arms and hands out of the win- dow. In the event of an accident, the force of the SRS curtain airbag deployment could injure the child seriously because his/ her head is close to the SRS curtain airbag.

WARNING

. 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 the SRS side airbag deployment, they could be pro- pelled 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 loca- tion 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.

. 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 prevent- ing 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 hang- ers.

WARNING

Do not put any kind of cover or clothes or other objects over either front seatback and do not attach labels or stickers to the front seat surface on or near the SRS side airbag. They could prevent proper deployment of the SRS side airbag, reducing protection available to the front seat’s occupant.

The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag can function only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position. The driver’s and front passenger’s SRS side airbags and SRS curtain airbags deploy independently of each other since each has its own impact sensor. There- fore, they may not both deploy in the same accident. Also, the SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag deploys independently of the driver’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbags in the steering wheel and instrument panel.

Immobilizer

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 does not 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 (Station wagon). . Do not leave spare keys or any record of your key number in the vehicle.

CAUTION

. Do not place the key under direct sunlight or anywhere it may become hot.

& Security indicator light

Vehicle with SI-DRIVE

Vehicle without SI-DRIVE

The security indicator light deters potential thieves by indicating that the vehicle is

equipped with an immobilizer system. It begins flashing 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, contact your SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.

In case an unauthorized key is used (e.g. an imitation key), the security indicator light illuminates. 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

Black plate (98,1)

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. NOTE A vehicle that is equipped with the remote engine start system as the dealer option can register up to three keys for use with one vehicle.

WARNING

Keep all doors locked when you drive, especially when small chil- dren are in your vehicle. Along with the proper use of seat- belts and child restraints, locking the doors reduces the chance of being thrown out of the vehicle in an accident. It also helps prevent passengers from falling out if a door is acciden- tally opened, and intruders from unexpectedly opening doors and entering your vehicle.

To unlock the door from the inside, rotate the lock lever forward.

The red mark on the lock lever appears when the door is unlocked. Pull the inside door handle to open an unlocked door. Always make sure that all doors and the rear gate (Station wagon) are closed and locked before starting to drive.
