System monitors

SRS airbag system warning light
A diagnostic system continually monitors
the readiness of the seatbelt pretensioner
while the vehicle is being driven. The seat-
belt pretensioners share the control mod-
ule with the airbag system. Therefore, if
any malfunction occurs in a seatbelt pre-
tensioner, the SRS airbag system warning
light will illuminate. The SRS airbag sys-
tem warning light will show normal system
operation by lighting for approximately 6
seconds when the ignition switch is turned
to the "ON" position.
The following components are monitored
by the indicator:
Front sub sensor (Right-hand side)

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.
Flashing or flickering of the warn-
ing light
No illumination of the warning
light when the ignition switch is
first turned to the "ON" position
