In an accident where the vehicle is impact- ed more than once, the driver’s 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 ac- tivated on the first impact, it/they will not be activated on the second impact.

Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags 1-59

(cid:132) SRS side airbag and SRS cur-

tain 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 colli- sion, the SRS side airbag on the impacted side of the vehicle deploys between the occupant and the door panel and supple- ments 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 (be- tween the front pillar and a point over the rear seat). An “SRS AIRBAG” mark is lo- cated at the top of each center pillar. In a moderate to severe side impact colli- sion, the SRS curtain airbag on the im- pacted side of the vehicle deploys be- tween the occupant and the side window and supplements the seatbelt by reducing the impact on the occupant’s head. In a 7-seater model vehicle, the SRS cur- tain airbag does not operate for third-row seat occupants.

1-60 Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags

The SRS side airbag and SRS cur- tain 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 fas- ten seatbelts. It is also important to wear your seatbelt to help avoid in- juries that can result when an occu- pant is not seated in a proper up- right position.

100164

(cid:121) 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 de- ployment may cause injuries if your head or other parts of the body are too close to the SRS side airbag.

(cid:121) 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. 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. However, the force of its deployment may cause inju- ries if your head is too close to it.

100165

Do not rest your arm on either front door or its internal trim. It could be injured in the event of SRS side air- bag deployment.

(cid:121) 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 seat- back. In the event of an accident, the force of the SRS side airbag deployment could injure the child seriously because his/her head or arms or other parts of the body are too close to the SRS side air- bag. Since your vehicle is also equipped with a front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag, children aged 12 and under should be placed in a rear seat anyway and should be properly restrained at all times.

(cid:121) Never allow a child to kneel on any passenger’s seat facing the side window. In the event of an acci- dent, the force of the SRS curtain airbag deployment could injure the child seriously because his/ her head is close to the SRS cur- tain airbag.

(cid:121) 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 location could be propelled through the cabin with great force by the cur- tain airbag, or it could prevent correct deployment of the curtain airbag. In either case, the result could be serious injuries.

in such a

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 deploy- ment of the SRS curtain airbags, they could cause serious injuries by coming off the coat hooks and being thrown through the cabin or by pre- venting deployment of the curtain airbags. Before hanging clothing on the coat hooks, make sure there are no sharp objects in the pockets. Hang cloth- ing directly on the coat hooks with- out using hangers.

Do not put any kind of cover or clothes or other objects over either front seatback and do not attach la- bels or stickers to the front seat sur- face on or near the SRS side airbag. They could prevent proper deploy- ment of the SRS side airbag, reduc- ing protection available to the front seat’s occupant. (cid:84) Operation

600516

100281
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain air- bag 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 de-

100280

ploy 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. An impact sensor is located in each of the left and right center pillars and rear wheel houses. If a center pillar impact sensor senses an impact force above a predeter- mined level in a side collision, the control module causes both the SRS side airbag and curtain airbag on the impacted side to inflate regardless of whether the rear wheel house impact sensor on the same side senses an impact. If it is a rear wheel house impact sensor alone that senses a sufficiently strong impact force, the control module causes only the SRS curtain air- bag on the impacted side to inflate. After deployment, the SRS side airbag immedi- ately starts to deflate. The time required from detection of an impact to deflation of an SRS side airbag after deployment is shorter than the blink of an eye. The SRS curtain airbag remains inflated for a while following deployment then slowly deflates. The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain air-

bag deploy even when no one occupies the seat on the side on which an impact is applied. When the SRS side airbag and SRS cur- tain airbag deploy, a sudden, fairly loud in- flation noise will be heard and some smoke will be released. These occurrenc- es are a normal result of the deployment. This smoke does not indicate a fire in the vehicle.

Do not touch the SRS side airbag system components around the front seat seatback with bare hands right after deployment. Doing so can cause burns because the compo- nents can be very hot as a result of deployment. After deployment, do not touch any part of the SRS curtain airbag sys- tem (from the front pillar to the part of the roof side over the rear seat). Doing so can cause burns because the components can be very hot as a result of deployment. The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain air- bag are designed to deploy in the event of an accident involving a moderate to se- vere side impact collision. It is basically

Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags 1-63

not designed to deploy in a lesser side im- pact. Also, it is basically not designed to deploy in frontal or rear impacts because SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag deployment would not help the occupant in those situations. Each SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag are designed to function on a one- time-only basis. SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag deployment depend on the level of force experienced in the passenger compart- ment during a side impact 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 it- self.

A diagnostic system continually monitors the readiness of the SRS airbag system (including front seatbelt pretensioners) while the vehicle is being driven. The SRS airbag system warning light “AIRBAG” will show normal system operation by lighting for approximately 6 seconds when the ig- nition switch is turned to the “ON” position. The following components are monitored by the indicator: (cid:121) Front sub sensor (Right-hand side)

If the warning light exhibits any of the following conditions, there may be a malfunction in the seatbelt pre- tensioners and/or SRS airbag sys- tem. Immediately take your vehicle to your nearest SUBARU dealer to have the system checked. Unless checked and properly repaired, the seatbelt pretensioners and/or SRS airbags will operate improperly (e.g. SRS airbags may inflate in a very mi- nor collision or not inflate in a se- vere collision), which may increase the risk of injury.

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. Each immobilizer key contains a tran- sponder in which the key’s ID code is stored. When a key is inserted into the ig- nition switch and turned to the “ON” posi- tion, the transponder transmits the key’s ID code to the immobilizer system’s re- ceiver. If 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 transmit- ted and acted upon almost instantly, the immobilizer system does not impede nor- mal starting of the engine. If the engine fails to start, pull out the key once before trying again. (Refer to the “Ig- nition switch” section [chapter 3].) This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with RSS-210 of In- dustry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This

device may not cause harmful interfer- ence, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including in- terference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not express- ly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. NOTE To protect your vehicle from theft, please pay close attention to the fol- lowing security precautions: (cid:121) Never leave your vehicle unattended with its keys inside. (cid:121) Before leaving your vehicle, close all windows and lock the doors and rear gate. (cid:121) Do not leave spare keys or any record of your key number in the vehi- cle.

(cid:121) Do not place the key under direct sunlight or anywhere it may be- come hot.

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” po- sition or immediately after the key is pulled out. If the security indicator light does not flash, the immobilizer system may be faulty. 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 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.

(cid:132) Key replacement Your key number plate and security ID plate will be required if you ever need a re- placement 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-regis- tered when a new key is made. Therefore, all of your vehicle’s keys must be present- ed when a new key is registered. 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 re- placement keys and on the registration of keys with your immobilizer system, con- tact your SUBARU dealer.

Transmitter circuit board

To register a new transmitter with the key- less entry system, it is necessary to pro- gram the transmitter’s code (identification number) into the system. A label showing the code is affixed to the bag containing the transmitter, and another is affixed to the circuit board inside the transmitter. If there is no bag, open the transmitter case and make a note of the eight-digit number. Program the number into the system in accordance with the following procedure: 1. Firmly close the doors and the rear gate or trunk lid. 2. Open the driver’s door, sit on the driv- er’s seat, and close the door. 3. Perform the following steps within 45

NOTE If the code entered the second time is not identical to the code entered the first time, an error will occur. In this event, perform the procedure again be- ginning with part 5. If an error occurs five times, perform the procedure again starting with part 3. 10.If you wish to program another trans- mitter code into the system (up to four transmitter codes can be programmed into the system), perform the procedure beginning with part 4. When you have fin- ished programming all of the necessary transmitter codes into the system, remove the key from the ignition switch. 11.Test every registered transmitter to confirm correct operation. (cid:84) Deleting old transmitter codes The control unit of the keyless entry sys- tem 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 transmit- ter’s code remains in the memory. For se- curity reasons, lost transmitter codes

should be deleted from the memory. To delete old transmitter codes, program four transmitter codes into the system. If you have only one current transmitter, program it four times. If you have two cur- rent transmitters, program each one twice. If you have three current transmitters, pro- gram two of them once and the third one twice. This process will leave only current transmitter codes in the system’s memory. 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 transmit- ters, it is possible that their transmitter code will be programmed into your system, allowing them unauthorized access to your vehicle.

Alarm system The alarm system helps to protect your vehicle and valuables from theft. The horn sounds and the turn signal lights flash if someone attempts to break into your vehi- cle. The system can be armed and disarmed with the remote transmitter. The system does not operate when the key is inserted into the ignition switch. Your vehicle’s alarm system has been set for activation at the time of shipment from the factory. You can set the system for de- activation yourself or have it done by your SUBARU dealer.

(cid:132) System alarm operation The alarm system will give the following alarms when triggered: (cid:121) The vehicle’s horn will sound and the turn signal lights will flash for 30 seconds. (cid:121) If any door (or the rear gate) remains open after the 30-second period, the horn will continue to sound for a maximum of 3
minutes. If the door (or the rear gate) is closed while the horn is sounding, the horn will stop sounding with a delay of up to 30 seconds. The alarm is triggered by:

(cid:121) Opening a door or the rear gate (cid:121) Physical impact to the vehicle, such as forced entry (only vehicles with shock sen- sors (dealer option))

(cid:132) Activating and deactivating

the alarm system

To change the setting of your vehicle’s alarm system for activation or deactiva- tion, do the following. 1. Disarm the alarm system (see “Disarm- ing the system” in this section). 2. Sit in the driver’s seat and shut all doors (and the rear gate). 3. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” po- sition. 4. Hold down the UNLOCK side of the driver’s power door locking switch, open the driver’s door within the following 1 sec- ond, and wait 10 seconds without releas- ing the switch. The setting will then be changed as follows: If the system was previously activated: The odometer/trip meter screen displays “AL oF” and the horn sounds twice, indi- cating that the system is now deactivated. If the system was previously deactivated: The odometer/trip meter screen displays “AL on” and the horn sounds once, indi- cating that the system is now activated.

NOTE You may have the above setting change done by your SUBARU dealer.

NOTE (cid:121) The system can be armed even if the engine hood, the windows and/or moonroofs are opened. Always make sure that they are fully closed before arming the system. (cid:121) The 30-second standby time can be eliminated if you prefer. Have it per- formed by your SUBARU dealer.

tem may not respond. (cid:84) Emergency disarming If you cannot disarm the system using the transmitter (i.e. the transmitter is lost, bro- ken or the transmitter battery is too weak), you can disarm the system without using the transmitter. The system can be disarmed if you turn the ignition switch from the “LOCK” to the “ON” position with a registered key.

(cid:132) Valet mode When you choose the valet mode, the alarm system does not operate. In valet mode, the remote transmitter is used only for locking and unlocking the doors and rear gate and panic activation. To enter the valet mode, change the set- ting of your vehicle’s alarm system for de- activation mode. (Refer to “Activating and deactivating the alarm system” in this sec- tion.) The security indicator light will con- tinue to flash once every three seconds in- dicating that the system is in the valet mode. To exit valet mode, change the setting of your vehicle’s alarm system for activation mode. (Refer to “Activating and deactivat- ing the alarm system” in this section.)

(cid:132) Passive arming When passive arming mode has been programmed by the dealer, arming of the system is automatically accomplished without using the remote transmitter. Note that in this mode, DOORS MUST BE MANUALLY LOCKED. (cid:84) To enter the passive mode If you wish to program the passive arming mode, have it done by your SUBARU dealer. (cid:84) Arming the system

In passive mode, the system will au- tomatically activate the alarm but WILL NOT automatically lock the doors. In order to lock the doors you must either lock them as indicated in step 4 below or with the key once they have been closed. Failure to lock the doors manually will result in a higher security risk. 1. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” po- sition.

4. Before closing the doors, lock all doors with the inside door lock levers. 5. Close the doors. The system will auto- matically arm after one minute. In the passive mode, the system can also be armed with the remote transmitter or with the power door locking switches. If the remote transmitter or power door lock- ing switch is used to lock the vehicle, arm- ing will take place immediately regardless of whether or not the passive mode has been selected. (cid:84) Disarming the system To disarm the system, briefly press the “

” button on the transmitter.

(cid:132) Tripped sensor identification The security indicator light flashes when the alarm system has been triggered. Al- so, the number of flashes indicates the lo- cation of unauthorized intrusion or the se- verity of impact on the vehicle. (cid:121) When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, the indicator light will light for 1 second and then flash as follows:

When a door or rear gate was opened: 5 times When the ignition switch was turned to the “ON” position by using a key not reg- istered with your immobilizer system: 3
times When a strong impact or multiple im- pacts were sensed: twice (only vehicles with shock sensors (dealer option)) When a light impact was sensed: once (only vehicles with shock sensors (deal- er option))

(cid:132) Shock sensors (dealer op-

tion)

The shock sensors trigger the alarm sys- tem when they sense impacts applied to the vehicle and when any of their electric wires is cut. The alarm system causes the horn to sound and the turn signal lights to flash for a short time when the sensed im- pact is weak, but it warns of a strong im-

pact or multiple impacts by sounding the horn and flashing the turn signal lights, both lasting approximately 30 seconds. If you desire, your SUBARU dealer can connect them and set them for activation or deactivation. NOTE (cid:121) The shock sensors are not always able to sense impacts caused by breaking in, and cannot sense an im- pact that does not cause vibration (such as breaking the glass using a rescue hammer). (cid:121) The shock sensors may sense vibra- tion like those shown in the following and trigger the alarm system. Select the settings of the alarm system and shock sensors appropriately depend- ing on where you usually park your ve- hicle. Example:

Vibration from construction site Vibration in multistory car park Vibration from trains

(cid:121) You can have the sensitivity of the shock sensors adjusted to your prefer- ence by your SUBARU dealer.

200726
Each rear door has a child safety lock that prevents the doors from being opened even if the inside door handle is pulled. When the child safety lock lever is in the lock position, the door cannot be opened from inside regardless of the position of the inner door handle lock lever. The door can only be opened from the outside.

To avoid serious personal injury caused by entrapment, you must do the following. (cid:121) When operating the power win- dows, be extremely careful to pre- vent anyone’s fingers, arms, neck or head from being caught in the window.

(cid:121) Always lock the passengers’ win- dows using the lock switch when children are riding in the vehicle. (cid:121) Before leaving the vehicle, always remove the key from the ignition switch for safety and never allow an unattended child to remain in the vehicle. Failure to follow this procedure could result in injury to a child operating the power win- dow.
