lowing circumstances.
– When cushions or child re-
straint systems, etc., are used.
– When a child or small adult is
sitting in the seat.
. Observe the following precau-
tions
– Do not apply any strong im-
pact to the rear seat.
– Do not fold the seatback for-
ward when objects are on the
seat.
– Do not spill liquid on the rear
seat. If liquid is spilled, wipe it
off immediately.
– Do not remove or disassemble

NOTE
. The seatbelt warning system of the
rear seat detects if the seat is occupied
by a passenger. Heavy cargo or large
pets on the rear seat may result in the
activation of the passenger seatbelt
warning light and chime. Fastening
the rear seatbelt prior to loading cargo
or large pets will avoid activating the
passenger seatbelt warning light and
chime.
. When folding the rear seat, ensure
that the seat is empty prior to folding.
Items caught between the seat bottom
and seatback, when folded, may da-
mage the seat surface or activate the
passenger seatbelt warning light and
chime.
! Operation
If passengers in the rear seats do not
fasten their seatbelts while the ignition
switch is turned to the "ON" position, the
seatbelt warning lights will illuminate or
blink to indicate that their seatbelts are not
fastened.
NOTE
. If the rear passenger's seatbelt(s)
are/is still not fastened while driving,
the seatbelt warning system operates
as follows according to the vehicle
speed.
– The warning light will illuminate
when driving approximately 6 mph
(10 km/h) or less.
– When driving approximately be-
tween 6 mph (10 km/h) and 12.5 mph
(20 km/h), if the seatbelts are not
fastened for 50 seconds, the seat-
belt warning lights will blink and a
warning chime will sound.
The chime will make a peep sound
for 15 seconds, and it then will
become louder and continue for 35
seconds. The warning light will
blink for 50 seconds, then it will
illuminate steadily and the chime
will stop.
– When driving more than approxi-
mately 12.5 mph (20 km/h), if seat-
belts are not fastened for 35 sec-
onds, the warning lights of the
unfastened seatbelts will blink and
a chime will sound loudly. If the rear
seatbelts are not fastened after 35
seconds, the blinking warning light
will illuminate steadily and the
chime will stop. The warning lights
will continue to illuminate until their
seatbelts are fastened.
. The warning light will turn off and the
warning chime will stop when the
seatbelt is fastened.
. The seatbelt warning light can be
cancelled. However, when the ignition
switch is turned to the "ON" position
after it is turned to the "OFF" position,
the warning system settings will be
restored. For details about the warning
cancellation, contact a SUBARU dealer.
