system to the rear seat. We recommend
that you immediately contact your
SUBARU dealer for an inspection.
NOTE
When a child who has outgrown a child
restraint system or a small adult is
seated in the front passenger's seat,
the front passenger's SRS frontal air-
bag system may or may not activate
the front passenger's SRS frontal air-
bag depending on the occupant's seat-
ing posture. Children should always
wear a seatbelt when sitting in the seat
irrespective of whether the airbag is
deactivated or activated. If the front
passenger's SRS frontal airbag is acti-
vated (the ON indicator remains illumi-
nated while the OFF indicator turns off),
take the following actions.
. Ensure that no article is placed on
the seat other than the occupant.
. Ensure that there are no articles left
in the seatback pocket.
If the ON indicator still remains illumi-
nated while the OFF indicator turns off
despite the fact that the actions noted
above have been taken, seat the child/
small adult in the rear seat. We recom-
mend that you immediately contact
your SUBARU dealer for an inspection.
Even if the system has passed the
dealer inspection, it is recommended
that on subsequent trips the child/
small adult always take the rear seat.
Children who have outgrown a child
restraint system should always wear the
seatbelt irrespective of whether the airbag
is deactivated or activated.
