indicator
If the front passenger s seat cushion is
wet, this may adversely affect the ability of
the occupant detection system. If the seat
cushion is wet, do not use the front
passenger s seat. Wipe off liquid from
the seat immediately, let the seat dry
naturally and then check the SRS airbag
system warning light as follows.
. If the SRS airbag system warning light
illuminates, continue to dry the seat until
the warning light turns off. If the SRS
airbag system warning light stays on even
when the seat has dried, do not allow
anyone to sit on the front passenger s
seat. We recommend that you have the
Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags/*SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System airbag)
system checked by your SUBARU dealer.
. If the SRS airbag system warning light
does not illuminate, check that the front
passenger s frontal airbag ON and OFF
indicators work properly. For details about
the indicators, refer to Front passenger s
frontal airbag ON and OFF indicators F3-
17. If the indicators do not work properly,
do not allow anyone to sit on the front
passenger s seat. We recommend that
you have the system checked by your
SUBARU dealer.
Also, if luggage or electronic devices are
placed on the front passenger s seat, this
may adversely affect the ability of the
occupant detection system. This may
prevent the front passenger s frontal air-
bag ON and OFF indicators from working
properly. Check that the indicators work
properly.
When the OFF indicator turns off and the
ON indicator illuminates, the front passen-
ger s frontal airbag may deploy during a
collision. Remove luggage and electronic
devices from the front passenger s seat.
CAUTION
Electrical devices, such as cell
phones, laptops, portable music
players, or electronic games, espe-
cially when connected to the acces-
sory power outlet and placed on the
front passenger's seat or used by
the person sitting in the front pas-
senger's seat, may affect the opera-
tion of the occupant detection sys-
tem. If the occupant detection sys-
tem warning light illuminates or
operates erratically when using an
electronic device in the vehicle, at
first try to relocate that device to
avoid it creating any interference. If
the device continues to cause inter-
ference, the use of that device in the
vehicle should be discontinued.
