Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
. If the front seatbelt assembly or
surrounding area has been damaged,
we recommend that you contact your
SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.
. When you sell your vehicle, we urge
you to explain to the buyer that it has
seatbelt pretensioners by alerting him
to the contents of this section.
WARNING
. To obtain maximum protection,
the occupants should sit in an
upright position with their seat-
belts properly fastened. Refer to
the "Seatbelts" section in this
chapter.
. Do not modify, remove or strike
the front seatbelt assemblies or
surrounding area. This could
result in accidental activation of
the seatbelt pretensioners or
could make the system inopera-

injury. Seatbelt pretensioners
have no user-serviceable parts.
For required servicing of front
seatbelt assembly equipped with
lap belt pretensioners, we recom-
mend that you see your nearest
SUBARU dealer.
. When discarding front seatbelt
retractor assemblies or scrap-
ping the entire vehicle due to
collision damage or for other
reasons, we recommend that
you consult your SUBARU deal-
er.
