WARNING
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of
sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.

Wearing a seatbelt

I
Ensure that all passengers wear a seatbelt.
G
Always wear a seatbelt properly.
G
Each seatbelt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seatbelt
G
for more than one person at once, including children.
SUBARU recommends that children be seated in the rear seat and always
G
use a seatbelt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.
To achieve a proper seating position, do not recline the seat more than
G
necessary. The seatbelt is most effective when the occupants are sitting
up straight and well back in the seats.
Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm.
G
Always wear your seatbelt low and snug across your hips.

Pregnant women

Obtain medical advice and wear the seat-
belt in the proper way. ( P. 58)
Women who are pregnant should position
the lap belt as low as possible over the
hips in the same manner as other occu-
pants. Extend the shoulder belt com-
pletely over the shoulder and position the
belt across the chest. Avoid belt contact
over the rounding of the abdominal area.
If the seatbelt is not worn properly, not
only the pregnant woman, but also the
fetus could suffer death or serious injury
as a result of sudden braking or a colli-
sion.
