Active Head Restraint; Lumbar Support (If Equipped) - Subaru Legacy Outback 2006 Owner's Manual

1-6
Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
Never drive your vehicle with the
seats converted in a flat bed posi-
tion. If you do so, occupants will
have a greater chance of being in-
jured even during simple deceler-
ation, acceleration and cornering
since no firm restraint will be
available for them.
Before you lie on the flat bed to
take a rest, read the description
"Parking your vehicle" section in
chapter 7 carefully and follow the
instructions.

Active head restraint

The front seats of your vehicle are
equipped with active head restraints. They
tilt forward slightly in the event the vehicle
is struck from the rear, decreasing the
amount of rearward head movement and
thus reducing the risk of whiplash. For
maximum effectiveness, the head re-
straint should be adjusted so that the cen-
ter of the head restraint is closest to the
top of the occupant's ears.
Each active head restraint is ef-
fective only when its height is
properly adjusted and the driver/
passenger sits in the correct posi-
tion on the seat.
If your vehicle is involved in a
rear-end collision, we recommend
that you have an authorized
SUBARU dealer inspect the active
head restraints.
The active head restraints may
not operate in the event the vehi-
cle experiences only a slight im-
pact in the rear.

The active head restraints may be
damaged if they are pushed hard
from behind or subjected to
shock. As a result, they may not
function if the vehicle suffers a
rear impact.

Lumbar support (if equipped)

Pull the lever forward or backward.
Pulling the lever forward will increase the
amount of support for your lower back.
