A3120BE-B.book 2 ページ２００６年５月３０日　火曜日　午前９時３２分 1-2 Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags Front seats Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags (cid:121) Never adjust the seat while driv- ing to avoid the possibility of loss of vehicle control and of personal injury. (cid:121) Before adjusting the seat, make sure the hands and feet of rear seat passengers or luggage are clear of the adjusting mechanism. (cid:121) Seatbelts provide maximum re- straint when the occupant sits well back and upright in the seat. To reduce the risk of sliding under the seatbelt in a collision, the front seatbacks should be always used in the upright position while the vehicle is running. If the front seatbacks are not used in the up- right position in a collision, the risk of sliding under the lap belt and of the lap belt sliding up over the abdomen will increase, and both can result in serious internal injury or death. (cid:121) The SRS airbags deploy with con- siderable speed and force. Occu- pants who are out of proper posi- tion when the SRS airbag deploys could suffer very serious injuries. Because 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 practi- cal while still maintaining full ve- hicle control and the front passen- ger should move the seat as far back as possible and sit upright and well back in the seat. 100350 Put children aged 12 and under in a rear seat properly restrained at all times. The SRS airbag deploys with considerable speed and force and can injure or even kill children, es- pecially if they are 12 years of age and under and are not restrained or improperly restrained. Because chil- dren are lighter and weaker than adults, their risk of being injured from deployment is greater. Conse- quently, we strongly recommend that ALL children (including those in child seats and those that have out- grown child restraint devices) sit in a REAR seat properly restrained at all times in a child restraint device or in a seatbelt, whichever is appropri- ate for the child’s age, height and weight. Always secure ALL types of child re- straint devices (including forward facing child seats) in one of the rear seating positions recommended in this owner’s manual. A3120BE-B.book 3 ページ２００６年５月３０日　火曜日　午前９時３２分 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. According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly re- strained in the rear seating posi- tions than in the front seating posi- tions. For instructions and precau- tions concerning child restraint sys- tems, see the “Child restraint sys- tems” section in this chapter. (cid:132) Power seat (cid:84) Fore and aft adjustment 100351 To adjust the seat forward or backward, move the control switch forward or back- ward. NOTE During backward-forward adjustment of the seat, you cannot adjust the seat cushion angle or seat height. (cid:84) Reclining the seatback Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags 1-3 To prevent the passenger from slid- ing under the seatbelt in the event of a collision, always put the seatback in the upright position while the ve- hicle is in motion. Also, do not place objects such as cushions between the passenger and the seatback. If you do so, the risk of sliding under the lap belt and of the lap belt sliding up over the abdomen will increase, and both can result in serious inter- nal injury or death. 100085 To adjust the angle of the seatback, move the control switch. 100354 – CONTINUED – A3120BE-B.book 4 ページ２００６年５月３０日　火曜日　午前９時３２分 1-4 Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags (cid:84) Seat cushion angle adjustment (Driver’s seat only) (cid:84) Seat height adjustment (Driver’s seat only) (cid:84) Registration of seat position 100352 To adjust the seat cushion angle, pull up or push down the front end of the control switch. (cid:121) Never adjust the seat while driv- ing to avoid the possibility of loss of vehicle control and of personal injury. (cid:121) Before adjusting the seat, make sure the hands and feet of rear seat passengers or luggage are clear of the adjusting mechanism. 100353 1. With the transmission selector lever in the “P” position, adjust the seat position. To adjust the seat height, pull up or push down the rear end of the control switch. (cid:132) Memory function (Driver’s seat only – if equipped) Two of your favorite seat positions can be registered. Register the seat position with button “1” or “2” and retrieve the seat po- sition by pressing either button. The following seat positions can be regis- tered: (cid:121) Forward/backward position of the seat (cid:121) Angle of seatback (cid:121) Angle of seat cushion (cid:121) Height of seat SET 100804 2. While pressing the “SET” button, press the desired button “1” or “2”. 3. The chime sounds once, and the seat position is registered. A3120BE-B.book 5 ページ２００６年５月３０日　火曜日　午前９時３２分 (cid:84) Retrieval of seat position (cid:121) Never retrieve the seat position while driving to avoid the possibil- ity of loss of vehicle control and of personal injury. (cid:121) Perform the seat position retrieval before driving. Be sure to confirm that the selector lever position is in the “P” position. Do not drive until the retrieval of the seat posi- tion is complete. (cid:121) Be sure to press the correct but- ton to retrieve your registered seat position. If the seat position is not optimum for you, it may ad- versely affect your driving and may reduce the effectiveness of the seatbelt. That could result in an accident involving serious in- jury or death. (cid:121) When retrieving a registered seat position, make sure the hands, feet and possessions of rear seat passengers are clear of the seat adjusting mechanism. Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags 1-5 NOTE (cid:121) If a new position is registered for the same button, the previous seat posi- tion is deleted. (cid:121) Even if the battery is disconnected, the registered seat position is not de- leted. (cid:132) Head restraint adjustment (cid:121) When any trouble or a malfunc- tion occurs during the retrieval of the seat position, stop the retriev- al of the seat position using any of the control switches for manual adjustment, seat memory set but- ton, seat memory registered but- ton 1 or 2. SET 100805 1. With the transmission selector lever in the “P” position, press the desired button “1” or “2”. 2. The chime sounds once and the seat moves to the registered position. 3. When the seat moves to the registered position, the chime sounds twice. 100355 To raise the head restraint, pull it up. To lower it, push the head restraint down while pressing the release button on the top of the seatback. The head restraint should be adjusted so that the center of the head restraint is clos- est to the top of the occupant’s ears. – CONTINUED – A3120BE-B.book 6 ページ２００６年５月３０日　火曜日　午前９時３２分 1-6 Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags Never drive the vehicle with the head restraints removed because they are designed to reduce the risk of serious neck injury in the event that the vehicle is struck from the rear. (cid:132) Active head restraint 100089 The front seats of your vehicle are equipped with active head restraints. They automatically tilt forward slightly in the event the vehicle is struck from the rear, decreasing the amount of rearward head movement and thus reducing the risk of whiplash. For maximum effectiveness the head restraint should be adjusted so that the center of the head restraint is closest to the top of the occupant’s ears. (cid:132) Lumbar support (cid:121) Each active head restraint is ef- fective only when its height is properly adjusted and the driver/ passenger sits in the correct posi- tion on the seat. (cid:121) If your vehicle is involved in a rear-end collision, have an autho- rized SUBARU dealer inspect the active head restraints. (cid:121) The active head restraints may not operate in the event the vehi- cle experiences only a slight im- pact in the rear. (cid:121) The active head restraints may be damaged if they are pushed hard from behind or subjected to shock. As a result, they may not function if the vehicle suffers a rear impact. 100356 Pull the lever forward or backward. Pulling the lever forward will increase the amount of support for your lower back. A3120BE-B.book 7 ページ２００６年５月３０日　火曜日　午前９時３２分 Seat heater (if equipped) ed. When the vehicle’s interior is warmed enough or before you leave the vehicle, be sure to turn the switch off. (cid:121) There is a possibility that people with delicate skin may suffer slight burns even at low tempera- tures if they use the seat heater for a long period of time. When us- ing the heater, always be sure to warn the persons concerned. (cid:121) Do not put anything on the seat which insulates against heat, such as a blanket, cushion, or similar items. This may cause the seat heater to overheat. NOTE Use of the seat heater for a long period of time while the engine is not running can cause battery discharge. 100357 The seat heater is equipped in the front seats. The seat heater operates when the igni- tion switch is in the “ON” position. The seat heater can be adjusted in three levels. Press the button to activate the seat heater. Each subsequent press of the button will reduce the level. Pushing the button four times or keeping the button pressed for approximately 1 second will turn the heater off. While the seat heater is operating, its operating level is shown by the number of illuminated indicators. To warm the seat as quickly as possible, set the heater with three indicators illuminat- Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags 1-7 Rear seats (5-seater models)/ Second-row seats (7-seater models) 100358 (cid:121) Seatbelts provide maximum re- straint when the occupant sits well back and upright in the seat. Do not put cushions or any other materials between occupants and seatbacks or seat cushions. If you do so, the risk of sliding under the lap belt and of the lap belt sliding up over the abdomen will in- crease, and both can result in se- rious internal injury or death. – CONTINUED – A3120BE-B.book 8 ページ２００６年５月３０日　火曜日　午前９時３２分 1-8 Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags (cid:121) Before adjusting the seat, make sure the hands and feet of the rear seat passengers are clear of the adjusting mechanism (7-seater models only). (cid:84) 7-seater models Never stack luggage or other cargo higher than the top of the seatback because it could tumble forward and injure passengers in the event of a sudden stop or accident. Never adjust the seat while driving. Doing so is dangerous as the seat could move rapidly and you could be injured. (cid:132) Fore and aft adjustment (cid:84) 5-seater models Pull the lever upward and slide the seat to the desired position. 100359 100359 100094 Pull the lever upward and slide the seat to the desired position. Then release the le- ver and move the seat back and forth to make sure that it is securely locked into place. When the right seat or the left seat pair is slid rearward, it stops partway at the lock 100384 A3120BE-B.book 9 ページ２００６年５月３０日　火曜日　午前９時３２分 point so as not to trap the legs of passen- gers sitting on the third-row seat. It is possible to slide the seat or seat pair further rearward by releasing the lock that stops it. To do this, simultaneously pull the lever under the outboard seat cushion and turn the lever on the side of the seat cush- ion outward when sliding the seat or seat pair. Once you have released the lock, you can slide the seat or seat pair back and forth with only the lever under the seat cushion pulled. If you slide the seat or seat pair for- ward of the lock point, you will need to re- lease the lock again before you can slide it behind the point. Then release the lever and move the seat back and forth to make sure that it is se- curely locked into place. If you slide the seat or seat pair aft of the lock point while the third-row seat is occupied, be careful not to trap the legs of the third-row pas- sengers. (cid:132) Reclining the seatback Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags 1-9 (cid:121) In a 7-seater model vehicle, never allow the third-row seat passen- gers to adjust the seatback of the second row.

And make cer- tain that the shoulder belts are ful- ly visible. (cid:121) Never allow passengers to ride on the folded seatback or in the car- go area. Doing so may result in se- rious injury or death. (cid:121) Secure skis and other lengthy items properly to prevent them from being thrown around inside the vehicle and causing serious injury during a sudden stop, a sudden steering maneuver or a rapid acceleration. (cid:121) If passengers are sitting on the third-row seat, never drive while folding the second-row seat. It can be a serious interference at the time of braking and impact. (cid:121) If passengers are sitting on the third-row seat, never drive while the center seatback of the sec- ond-row seat is folded. Doing so may result in serious injury in the event of a hard braking or an im- pact. 100361 1. Slide the seat or seat pair to its rear- most position. 2. Lower the head restraint to its lowest position. 3. Unlock the seatback by pulling the le- ver and then fold the seatback down. 4.

To lower it, push the head restraint down while pressing the release button on the top of the seatback. The head restraint should be adjusted so that the center of the head restraint is clos- est to the top of the occupant’s ears.

Otherwise, the possibility of serious injury becomes greater in the event of a sudden stop or accident. (cid:121) All belts should fit snugly in order to provide full restraint. Loose fit- ting belts are not as effective in preventing or reducing injury. (cid:121) Each seatbelt is designed to sup- port only one person. Never use a single belt for two or more per- sons – even children. Otherwise, in an accident, serious injury or death could result. (cid:121) Replace all seatbelt assemblies including retractors and attaching hardware worn by occupants of a vehicle that has been in a serious accident. The entire assembly should be replaced even if dam- age is not obvious. (cid:121) Put children aged 12 and under in a 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 re- strained. Because children are lighter and weaker than adults, their risk of being injured from de- ployment is greater. Consequent- ly, we strongly recommend that ALL children (including those in child seats and those that have outgrown child restraint devices) sit in a REAR seat properly re- strained at all times in a child re- straint device or in a seatbelt, whichever is appropriate for the child’s height and weight. Always secure ALL types of child restraint devices (including for- ward facing child seats) in one of the rear seating positions recom- mended in this owner’s manual. 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. According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating posi- tions than in the front seating po- sitions. For instructions and pre- cautions concerning the child re- straint system, see the “Child re- straint systems” section in this chapter. 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, side and curtain airbags deploy. (cid:84) Infants or small children Use a child restraint system that is suit- able for your vehicle. See information on “Child restraint systems” in this chapter. (cid:84) Children If a child is too big for a child restraint sys- tem, the child should sit in the rear seat A3120BE-B.book 17 ページ２００６年５月３０日　火曜日　午前９時３２分 and be restrained using the seatbelts. Ac- cording to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating positions. Never allow a child to stand up or kneel on the seat. If the shoulder portion of the belt crosses the face or neck, adjust the shoulder belt anchor height (window-side seating posi- tions only) and then if necessary move the child closer to the belt buckle to help pro- vide a good shoulder belt fit. Care must be taken to securely place the lap belt as low as possible on the hips and not on the child’s waist. If the shoulder portion of the belt cannot be properly positioned, a child restraint system should be used. Never place the shoulder belt under the child’s arm or behind the child’s back. (cid:84) Expectant mothers 100100 Expectant mothers also need to use the seatbelts. They should consult their doctor for specific recommendations. The lap belt should be worn securely and as low as possible over the hips, not over the waist. (cid:132) Emergency Locking Retrac- tor (ELR) The driver’s seatbelt has an Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR). The emergency locking retractor allows normal body movement but the retractor locks automatically during a sudden stop, impact or if you pull the belt very quickly out of the retractor. Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags 1-17 (cid:132) Automatic/Emergency Lock- ing Retractor (A/ELR) Each passenger’s seatbelt has an Auto- matic/Emergency Locking Retractor (A/ ELR). The Automatic/Emergency Locking Retractor normally functions as an Emer- gency Locking Retractor (ELR). The A/ ELR has an additional locking mode “Au- tomatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode” in- tended to secure a child restraint system. When the seatbelt is once drawn out com- pletely and is then retracted even slightly, the retractor locks the seatbelt in that po- sition and the seatbelt cannot be extend- ed. As the belt is rewinding, clicks will be heard which indicate the retractor func- tions as ALR. When the seatbelt is retract- ed fully, ALR mode is released. When securing a child restraint system on the passengers’ seats, the seatbelt must be changed over to the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode. When the child restraint system is re- moved, make sure that the retractor is re- stored to the Emergency Locking Retrac- tor (ELR) function by allowing the seatbelt to retract fully. For instructions on how to convert the re- tractor to the ALR mode and restore it to the ELR mode, see the “Child restraint systems” section in this chapter. – CONTINUED – A3120BE-B.book 18 ページ２００６年５月３０日　火曜日　午前９時３２分 1-18 Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags (cid:132) Seatbelt warning light and chime Your vehicle is equipped with a seatbelt warning device at the driver’s and front passenger’s seat. With the ignition switch turned to the “ON” position, this device reminds the driver and front passenger to fasten their seat- belts by illuminating the warning lights in the locations indicated in the following il- lustrations and sounding a chime. Driver’s warning light 100372 PASS 100373 Front passenger’s warning light (cid:84) Operation If the driver and/or front passenger have/ has not yet fastened the seatbelt(s) when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” po- sition, the seatbelt warning light(s) will flash for 6 seconds, to warn that the seat- belt(s) is/are unfastened. If the driver’s seatbelt is not fastened, a chime will also sound simultaneously. If the driver’s and/or front passenger’s seatbelt(s) are/is still not fastened 6 sec- onds later, both warning lights or the warning light for the unfastened seatbelt will remain lit for 15 seconds. If the driver’s and/or front passenger’s seatbelt(s) are/is still not fastened even 15 seconds later (21 seconds after turning ON the ignition switch), the warning lights will alternate between flashing and steady illumination at 15-second intervals, and the chime will sound while the warning light(s) is/are flashing. Alternate flashing and steady illumination of the warning lights and sounding of the chime will continue until both driver and front passenger fasten their seatbelts. NOTE (cid:121) If the driver and/or front passenger unfasten(s) the seatbelt(s) after fasten- ing, the seatbelt warning device oper- ates as follows according to the vehi- cle speed. (cid:121) At speeds lower than approximate- ly 9 mph (15 km/h) The warning light(s) for unfastened seatbelt(s) will alternate between flashing and steady illumination at 15-second intervals. The chime will not sound. (cid:121) At speeds higher than approxi- mately 9 mph (15 km/h) The warning light(s) for unfastened seatbelt(s) will alternate between flashing and steady illumination at 15-second intervals and the chime will sound while the warning light(s) is/are flashing. (cid:121) It is possible to cancel the warning operation that follows the 6-second 1 A3120BE-B.book 19 ページ２００６年５月３０日　火曜日　午前９時３２分 warning after turning ON the ignition switch. When the ignition switch is turned ON next time, however, the complete sequence of the warning op- eration resumes. For further details about canceling the warning operation, please contact your SUBARU dealer. If there is no passenger on the front pas- senger’s seat, the seatbelt warning device for the front passenger’s seat will be deac- tivated. The front passenger’s occupant detection system monitors whether or not there is a passenger on the front passen- ger’s seat. Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may prevent the device from func- tioning correctly or cause the device to fail. (cid:121) Do not install any accessory such as a table or TV onto the seatback. (cid:121) Do not store a heavy load in the seat- back pocket. (cid:121) Do not allow the rear seat/second-row seat occupant to place his/her hands or legs on the front passenger’s seatback, or allow him/her to pull the seatback. If the seatbelt warning device for the front passenger’s seat does not function cor- rectly (e.g., it is activated even when the front passenger’s seat is empty or it is de- activated even when the front passenger has not fastened his/her seatbelt), take the following actions. (cid:121) Ensure that no article is placed on the seat other than a child restraint system and the child occupant. (cid:121) Ensure that there is no article left in the seatback pocket. If the seatbelt warning device for front passenger’s seat still does not function correctly after taking relevant corrective actions described above, immediately contact your SUBARU dealer for an in- spection. (cid:132) Fastening the seatbelt (cid:121) Never use a belt that is twisted or reversed. In an accident, this can increase the risk or severity of in- jury. (cid:121) Keep the lap belt as low as possi- ble on your hips. In a collision, this spreads the force of the lap belt over stronger hip bones in- stead of across the weaker abdo- men. Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags 1-19 (cid:121) Seatbelts provide maximum re- straint when the occupant sits well back and upright in the seat. To reduce the risk of sliding under the seatbelt in a collision, the front seatbacks should be always used in the upright position while the vehicle is running. If the front seatbacks are not used in the up- right position in a collision, the risk of sliding under the lap belt and of the lap belt sliding up over the abdomen will increase, and both can result in serious internal injury or death. (cid:121) Do not put cushions or any other materials between occupants and seatbacks or seat cushions. If you do so, the risk of sliding under the lap belt and of the lap belt sliding up over the abdomen will in- crease, and both can result in se- rious internal injury or death. – CONTINUED – A3120BE-B.book 20 ページ２００６年５月３０日　火曜日　午前９時３２分 1-20 Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags from the steering wheel as practical while still maintaining full vehicle control.

When a seatbelt pretensioner is activated, an operating noise will be heard and a small amount of smoke will be released. These occurrences are normal and not harmful. This smoke does not indicate a fire in the vehicle. Once the seatbelt pretensioner has been activated, the seatbelt retractor remains locked. Consequently, the seatbelt can not be pulled out and retracted and there- fore must be replaced. NOTE (cid:121) Seatbelt pretensioners are not de- signed to activate in minor frontal im- pacts, in minor side impacts or rear im- pacts.
