WARNING
. When discarding a seatbelt re-
tractor assembly or scrapping
the entire vehicle damaged by a
collision, we recommend that
you consult your SUBARU deal-
er.
. Tampering with or disconnecting
the system's wiring could result
in accidental activation of the
seatbelt pretensioner and/or
SRS airbag or could make the
system inoperative, which may
result in serious injury. Do not
use electrical test equipment on
any circuit related to the seatbelt
pretensioner and SRS airbag
systems. For required servicing
of the seatbelt pretensioner, we
recommend that you consult
your nearest SUBARU dealer.
CAUTION
The front sub sensors are located
on both the right and left sides at the
front of the vehicle, and the SRS
airbag control module including the
impact sensors is located under the
center console. If you need service
or repair in those areas or near the
front seatbelt pretensioner, we re-
commend that you have the work
performed by your authorized
SUBARU dealer.
NOTE
If the front part of the vehicle is
damaged in an accident to the extent
that the seatbelt pretensioner does not
operate, we recommend that you con-
tact your SUBARU dealer as soon as
possible.

We recommend that you consult your
SUBARU dealer if you want to install any

of the seatbelt pretensioners.

plow, skid/sump plate, etc.) to the

SUBARU accessory parts or
parts that match the quality of
genuine SUBARU accessory

system or front end structure.
