CAUTION
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may prevent the
front passenger's SRS frontal airbag
from functioning correctly or cause
the system to fail.
. Do not apply any strong impact
to the front passenger's seat
such as by kicking.
. Do not let rear passengers rest
their feet between the front seat-
back and seat cushion.
. Do not spill liquid on the front
passenger's seat. If liquid is
spilled, wipe it off immediately.

the front passenger's seat.
. Do not install any accessory
(such as an audio amplifier) other
than a genuine SUBARU acces-
sory or an equivalent under the
front passenger's seat.
. Do not place anything (shoes,
umbrella, etc.) under the front

. Do not place any objects (books,
etc.) around the front passen-
ger's seat.

tery.
. Do not place a magnet near the
seatbelt buckle and the seatbelt

. For models with a manual seat,
do not use front seats with their
forward-backward position and
seatback not being locked into
place securely. If any of them are
not locked securely, adjust them
again. For adjusting procedure,
refer to "Manual seat" F1-5.
If the seatbelt buckle switch and/or front
passenger s occupant detection system
have failed, the SRS airbag system
warning light will illuminate. We recom-
mend that you have the system inspected
by your SUBARU dealer immediately if the
SRS airbag system warning light illumi-
nates.
If your vehicle has sustained impact, this
may affect the proper function of the front
passenger s SRS frontal airbag system.
We recommend that you have your
vehicle inspected at your SUBARU dealer.
Do not use the front passenger s seat
while driving the vehicle to your SUBARU
dealer or another service center.
