WARNING
■
Seatbelt damage and wear
●
Do not damage the seatbelts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be
jammed in the door.
●
Inspect the seatbelt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose
parts. Replace a damaged seatbelt immediately. Damaged seatbelts can-
not protect an occupant from death or serious injury.
●
Ensure that the belt and plate are locked and the belt is not twisted.
If the seatbelt does not function correctly, we recommend that you contact
any authorized SUBARU dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional immediately.
●
Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has been
involved in a serious accident, even if there's no obvious damage.
●
Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of the
seatbelts. Have any necessary repairs carried out by any authorized
SUBARU dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional. Inappropriate handling of the pretensioner may prevent it from
operating properly, resulting in death or serious injury.
■
When using the seatbelt guide
●
Always make sure that the belt is not twisted, and runs freely through the
guide.
● Regardless of whether the guide is used or not, always secure the seatbelt
guide button.
●
Do not hang from or pull the guide forcefully.

Before using the rear seatbelts
80
Always make sure that the seatbelt is not
caught in the seatback or twisted in one
of the hooks that secure the seatback.
Failure to do so may cause the seatbelt to
not be fastened correctly or to become
ineffective in a collision, resulting in seri-
ous injury.
