Srs Airbag System Warning Light - Subaru A3100BE Owner's Manual

The warning light(s) for unfastened
seatbelt(s) will alternate between
flashing and steady illumination at
15-second intervals. The chime will
not sound.
At speeds higher than approxi-
mately 9 mph (15 km/h)
The warning light(s) for unfastened
seatbelt(s) will alternate between
flashing and steady illumination at
15-second intervals and the chime
will sound while the warning light(s)
is/are flashing.
If you unfasten and refasten the driv-
er's seatbelt three times within six sec-
onds after turning ON the ignition
switch, the warning operation that fol-
lows the 6-second warning after turn-
ing ON the ignition switch is canceled.
When the ignition switch is turned ON
next time, however, the complete se-
quence of warning operations re-
sumes.
If there is no passenger on the front pas-
senger's seat, the seatbelt warning device
for the front passenger's seat will be deac-
tivated. The front passenger's occupant
detection system monitors whether or not
there is a passenger on the front passen-
ger's seat. Observe the following precau-
tions. Failure to do so may prevent the de-
vice from functioning correctly or cause
the device to fail.
Do not install any accessory such as a
table or TV onto the seatback.
Do not store a heavy load in the seat-
back pocket.
Do not allow the rear seat occupant to
place his/her hands or legs on the front
passenger's seatback, or allow him/her to
pull the seatback.
If the seatbelt warning device for the front
passenger's seat does not function cor-
rectly (e.g., it is activated even when the
front passenger's seat is empty or it is de-
activated even when the front passenger
has not fastened his/her seatbelt), take
the following actions.
Ensure that no article is placed on the
seat other than a child restraint system
and its child occupant.
Ensure that there is no article left in the
seatback pocket.
If still the seatbelt warning device for front
passenger's seat does not function cor-
rectly after taking relevant corrective ac-
tions described above, immediately con-
tact your SUBARU dealer for an inspec-
tion.
Instruments and controls
SRS airbag system warn-
ing light
When the ignition switch is turned to the
"ON" position, the SRS airbag system
warning light will come on for approxi-
mately six seconds and go out. This
shows the SRS frontal airbag and SRS
side airbag and SRS curtain airbag and
seatbelt pretensioners are in normal oper-
ation.
If the warning light exhibits any of
the following conditions, there may
be a malfunction in the seatbelt pre-
tensioners and/or SRS airbag sys-
tem. Immediately take your vehicle
to your nearest SUBARU dealer to
have the system checked. Unless
checked and properly repaired, the
seatbelt pretensioners and/or SRS
airbags will operate improperly (e.g.
SRS airbags may inflate in a very mi-
nor collision or not inflate in a se-
vere collision), which may increase
the risk of injury.

ing light
