Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags/*SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System airbag)
SRS frontal airbag depending on the
occupant's seating posture. Children
should always wear a seatbelt when
sitting in the seat irrespective of
whether the airbag is deactivated or
activated. If the front passenger's SRS
frontal airbag is activated (the ON
indicator remains illuminated while
the OFF indicator turns off), take the
following action.
. Ensure that no article is placed on
the seat other than the occupant.
If the ON indicator still remains illumi-
nated while the OFF indicator turns off
despite the fact that the actions noted
above have been taken, seat the child/
small adult in the rear seat. We recom-
mend that you immediately contact
your SUBARU dealer for an inspection.
Even if the system has passed the
dealer inspection, it is recommended
that on subsequent trips the child/
small adult always take the rear seat.
Children who have outgrown a child
restraint system should always wear the
seatbelt irrespective of whether the airbag
is deactivated or activated.

ger's SRS frontal airbag is activated
