The front passenger's frontal airbag ON
and OFF indicators show you the status of
the front passenger's SRS frontal airbag.
Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
The indicators are located in the center
portion of the instrument panel.
When the ignition switch is turned to the
"ON" position, both the ON and OFF
indicators illuminate for 6 seconds during
which time the system is checked. Follow-
ing the system check, both indicators
extinguish for 2 seconds. After that, one
of the indicators illuminates depending on
the status of the front passenger's SRS
frontal airbag determined by the Subaru
advanced frontal airbag system monitor-
ing.
If the front passenger's SRS frontal airbag
is activated, the passenger's frontal airbag
ON indicator will illuminate while the OFF
indicator will remain extinguished.
If the front passenger's SRS frontal airbag
is deactivated, the passenger's frontal
airbag ON indicator will remain extin-
guished while the OFF indicator will
illuminate.
With the ignition switch turned to the "ON"
position, if both the ON and OFF indica-
tors remain lit or extinguished simulta-
neously even after the system check
period, the system is faulty. Contact your
SUBARU dealer immediately for an in-
spection.
