CAUTION
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may prevent the
front passenger's SRS frontal airbag
from functioning correctly or cause
the system to fail.
. Do not apply any strong impact
to the front passenger's seat
such as by kicking.
. Do not let rear passengers rest
their feet between the front seat-
back and seat cushion.
. Do not spill liquid on the front
passenger's seat. If liquid is
spilled, wipe it off immediately.
. Do not remove or disassemble
the front passenger's seat.
. Do not install any accessory
(such as an audio amplifier) other
than a genuine SUBARU acces-
sory or an equivalent under the
front passenger's seat.
. Do not place anything (shoes,
umbrella, etc.) under the front
passenger's seat.
. Do not use the front passenger's
seat with the head restraint re-
moved.
. Do not leave any articles on the
front passenger's seat or the
seatbelt tongue and buckle en-
gaged when you leave your ve-
hicle.
. Do not put sharp object(s) on the
seat or pierce the seat uphols-
tery.
. Do not place a magnet near the
seatbelt buckle and the seatbelt
retractor.
. Do not use front seats with their
backward-forward position and
seatback not being locked into
place securely. If any of them are
not locked securely, adjust them
again. For adjusting procedure,
refer to "Manual seat" F1-4
(models equipped with manual
seats only).
If the seatbelt buckle switch and/or front
passenger s occupant detection system
have failed, the SRS airbag system
warning light will illuminate. We recom-
mend that you have the system inspected
by your SUBARU dealer immediately if the
SRS airbag system warning light illumi-
nates.
