& SUBARU advanced frontal
airbag system
This vehicle is equipped with a SUBARU
advanced frontal airbag system that com-
plies with the new advanced frontal airbag
requirements in the amended Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
No. 208.
The SUBARU advanced frontal airbag
system automatically determines the de-
ployment force of the driver's SRS frontal
airbag at the time of deployment as well as
whether or not to activate the front
passenger's SRS frontal airbag and, if
activated, the deployment force of the SRS
frontal airbag at the time of deployment.
This vehicle has warning labels on the
driver's and front passenger's sun visors
beginning with the phrase "EVEN WITH
ADVANCED AIR BAGS" and a tag at-
tached to the glove box lid beginning with
the phrase "Even with Advanced Air
Bags". Make sure that you carefully read
the instructions on the warning labels and
tag.
Always wear your seatbelt. The SUBARU
advanced frontal airbag system is a
supplemental restraint system and must
be used in combination with a seatbelt. All
occupants should wear a seatbelt or be
seated in an appropriate child restraint
system.
For the locations of the SRS airbags, refer
to "Components" �P90.
In a moderate to severe frontal collision,
the following components deploy.
. SRS frontal airbag for driver
. Front passenger's SRS frontal airbag
. SRS knee airbag for driver
. SRS curtain airbag*
1
*1: When an offset frontal collision that is severe
enough to deploy the front airbag occurs.
These components supplement the seat-
belts by reducing the impact to the
occupant's head, chest and knees.
NOTE
Only the driver's SRS frontal airbag and
front passenger's SRS frontal airbag
are controlled by the SUBARU ad-
vanced frontal airbag system.
! Driver's SRS frontal airbag
The driver's SRS frontal airbag uses a dual
stage inflator. The inflator operates in
different ways depending on the severity
of impact.
! Front passenger's SRS frontal air-
bag
The front passenger's SRS frontal airbag
uses a dual stage inflator and an actuator.
The inflator and the actuator operate in
different ways depending on the severity of
impact.
