ative, which could lead to personal injury or
death in the event of a severe frontal collision,
all maintenance must be performed by an
authorized SUBARU dealer .
Improper maintenance, including incorrect re-
moval and installation of the Airbag system,
can lead to personal injury caused by uninten-
tional activation of the Airbag system .
All Airbag system electrical wiring harnesses
and connectors are covered with yellow outer
insulation . Do not use electrical test equipment
on any circuit related to the Supplemental
Restraint System "Airbag" .
