(cid:121) Keep the rear gate closed while driving to prevent exhaust gas from entering the vehicle.
(cid:132) Drinking and driving
Drinking and then driving is very dangerous. Alcohol in the blood- stream delays your reaction and im- pairs your perception, judgment and attentiveness. If you drive after drinking – even if you drink just a lit- tle – it will increase the risk of being involved in a serious or fatal acci- dent, injuring or killing yourself, your passengers and others. In ad- dition, if you are injured in the acci- dent, alcohol may increase the se- verity of that injury. Please don’t drink and drive.
Drunken driving is one of the most fre-
quent causes of accidents. Since alcohol affects all people differently, you may have consumed too much alcohol to drive safely even if the level of alcohol in your blood is below the legal limit. The safest thing you can do is never drink and drive. However if you have no choice but to drive, stop drinking and sober up com- pletely before getting behind the wheel.
(cid:132) Drugs and driving
There are some drugs (over the counter and prescription) that can delay your reaction time and impair your perception, judgment and at- tentiveness. If you drive after taking them, it may increase your, your passengers’ and other persons’ risk of being involved in a serious or fa- tal accident.
If you are taking any drugs, check with your doctor or pharmacist or read the liter- ature that accompanies the medication to determine if the drug you are taking can impair your driving ability. Do not drive af- ter taking any medications that can make you drowsy or otherwise affect your ability to safely operate a motor vehicle. If you
A3120BE-B.book 7 ページ ２００６年５月３０日 火曜日 午前９時３２分
have a medical condition that requires you to take drugs, please consult with your doctor.
Never drive if you are under the influence of any illicit mind-altering drugs. For your own health and well-being, we urge you not to take illegal drugs in the first place and to seek treatment if you are addicted to those drugs.
(cid:132) Driving when tired or sleepy
When you are tired or sleepy, your reaction will be delayed and your perception, judgment and attentive- ness will be impaired. If you drive when tired or sleepy, your, your pas- sengers’ and other persons’ chanc- es of being involved in a serious ac- cident may increase.
Please do not continue to drive but in- stead find a safe place to rest if you are tired or sleepy. On long trips, you should make periodic rest stops to refresh your- self before continuing on your journey. When possible, you should share the driv- ing with others.
(cid:132) Car phone/cell phone and
driving
Do not use a car phone/cell phone while driving; it may distract your at- tention from driving and can lead to an accident. If you use a car phone/ cell phone, pull off the road and park in a safe place before using your phone. In some States/Provinces, only hands-free phones may legally be used while driving.
(cid:132) Modification of your vehicle
Your vehicle should not be modified other than with genuine Subaru parts and accessories. Other types of modifications could affect its per- formance, safety or durability, and may even violate governmental reg- ulations. In addition, damage or per- formance problems resulting from modification may not be covered under warranties.
(cid:132) Driving with pets Unrestrained pets can interfere with your driving and distract your attention from driving. In a collision or sudden stop, unre- strained pets or cages can be thrown around inside the vehicle and hurt you or your passengers. Besides, the pets can be hurt under these situations. It is also for their own safety that pets should be prop- erly restrained in your vehicle. Restrain a pet with a special traveling harness which can be secured to the rear seat with a seatbelt or use a pet carrier which can be secured to the rear seat by routing a seat- belt through the carrier’s handle. Never re- strain pets or pet carriers in the front pas- senger’s seat. For further information, consult your veterinarian, local animal protection society or pet shop.

(cid:132) Tire pressures
Driving at high speeds with exces- sively low tire pressures can cause the tires to deform severely and to rapidly become hot. A sharp in- crease in temperature could cause tread separation, and destruction of the tires. The resulting loss of vehi- cle control could lead to an acci- dent.
Check and, if necessary, adjust the pres- sure of each tire (including the spare) at least once a month and before any long journey.
Check the tire pressure when the tires are cold. Use a pressure gauge to adjust the tire pressures to the values shown on the tire placard. Refer to the “Tires and wheels” section in chapter 11 for detailed information.

warning
owner’s manual and follow the instruc- tions and precautions in order to prevent serious injury or death due to loss of con- trol, rollover and other accidents.
Engine exhaust, some of its constit- uents, and certain vehicle compo- nents contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. In addi- tion, certain fluids in vehicles and certain components of product wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause can- cer and birth defects or other repro- ductive harm.
(cid:132) On-pavement and off-road
driving
This vehicle is classified as a utility vehi- cle. Utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover rate than other types of ve- hicles. Your B9 TRIBECA has a higher ground clearance and higher center of gravity, making it more likely to roll over than ordinary passenger cars. It also han- dles and maneuvers differently from other passenger cars. For this reason, please read carefully the “On-pavement and off road driving” section in chapter 8 of this

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.

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.

To adjust the angle of the seatback, move the control switch.

(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.

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

Seatbelts
(cid:132) Seatbelt safety tips
(cid:121) All persons in the vehicle should fasten their seatbelts BEFORE the vehicle starts to move. 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.

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

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.
