■
Emergency locking retractor (ELR)
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop or on impact. It may also
lock if you lean forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to
extend so that you can move around fully.
■
Seatbelt pretensioners
●
Seatbelt pretensioners are not designed to activate in minor frontal or
side impact, in side or rear impacts or in roll-over accidents.
●
The following four components operate simultaneously.
• Seatbelt pretensioner for driver
• Seatbelt pretensioner for front passenger
• SRS frontal airbag for driver
• SRS frontal airbag for front passenger
●
Pretensioners are designed to function on a one-time-only basis. In the
event that a pretensioner is activated, both the driver's and front passen-
ger's seatbelt retractor assemblies must be replaced only by any autho-
rized SUBARU dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional. When replacing seat belt retractor assemblies for the front
seating positions, use only genuine SUBARU parts equipped with a load
limiter.
●
If either front seatbelt does not retract or cannot be pulled out due to a
malfunction or activation of the pretensioner, contact your any authorized
SUBARU dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional as soon as possible.
●
If the front seatbelt retractor assembly or surrounding area has been
damaged, contact your any authorized SUBARU dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped professional as soon as possible.
●
When you sell your vehicle, we urge you to explain to the buyer that it
has seatbelt pretensioners by alerting the buyer to the contents of this
section.
■
Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated
If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activate
for the first collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent colli-
sions.
