Page 138 1-7. Safety information ■ SRS airbag operation Driver's side SRS AIRBAGs deploy as soon as a collision occurs. After deployment, SRS AIRBAGs start to deflate immediately so that the driver’s vision is not obstructed. : Models with knee airbag Passenger’s side SRS AIRBAGs deploy as soon as a collision occurs.
Page 139 1-7. Safety information The SRS airbag can function only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position. If the front sub sensors located on both the right and left sides at the front of the vehicle and the impact sensors in the airbag control module detect a cer- tain predetermined amount of force during a front collision, the control mod- ule sends signals to the front airbag modules instructing them to inflate the SRS front airbags.
Page 140 1-7. Safety information ■ When will the SRS front airbag most likely deploy? A head-on collision against a thick con- crete wall at a vehicle speeds of 20 to 30 km/h (12 to 19 mph) or higher activates the SRS front airbag. The SRS front air- bag will also be activated when the vehi- cle is exposed to a front impact similar in fashion and magnitude to the collision...
Page 141 1-7. Safety information The vehicle slides under the load bed of a truck. The vehicle sustains an oblique offset front impact. The vehicle sustains an offset front colli- sion. The vehicle strikes an object that can move or deform, such as a parked vehi- cle.
Page 142 1-7. Safety information ■ When will the SRS front airbag not deploy? The SRS front airbag is not designed to deploy in most cases if the vehicle is struck from the side or from behind, or if it rolls onto its side or roof, or if it is involved in a low-speed front collision.
Page 143 1-7. Safety information SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag The SRS side airbag is stored in the door side of each front seat seatback, which bears an “SRS AIRBAG” label. In a moderate to severe side impact collision, the SRS side airbag on the impacted side of the vehicle deploys between the occupant and the door panel and supplements the seatbelt by reducing the impact on the occupant’s chest.
Page 144 1-7. Safety information ■ SRS airbag operation The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag can function only when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position. The driver’s and front passenger’s SRS side airbags and SRS curtain air- bags deploy independently of each other since each has its own impact sen- sor.
Page 145 1-7. Safety information When the SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag deploy, a sudden, fairly loud inflation noise will be heard and some smoke will be released. These occurrences are a normal result of the deployment. This smoke does not indicate a fire in the vehicle.
Page 146 1-7. Safety information The vehicle is involved in a side-on impact in an area outside the vicinity of the passenger compartment. The vehicle strikes a telephone pole or similar object. The vehicle is involved in a side-on impact from a motorcycle. The vehicle rolls onto its side or roof.
Page 147 1-7. Safety information ■ When will the SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag not deploy? The vehicle is involved in front collision with another vehicle (moving or station- ary). The vehicle is struck from behind. The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag are not designed to deploy in most cases if the vehicle is involved in a front collision or is struck from behind.
Page 148 1-7. Safety information ■ When to contact any authorized SUBARU dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional In the following cases, the vehicle will require inspection and/or repair. We recommend that you contact any authorized SUBARU dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional as soon as possible.
Page 149 1-7. Safety information ● The portion of the front pillars, rear pil- lars or roof side rail garnishes (padding) containing the curtain airbags inside is scratched, cracked or otherwise dam- aged. WARNING ■ If the SRS airbags deploy Do not touch the SRS side airbag system components around the front seat seatback with bare hands right after deployment.
Page 150 An infant or child who is too small to use a seatbelt should be properly secured using a child restraint sys- tem. SUBARU strongly recommends that all infants and children be placed in the rear seats of the vehicle and properly restrained. The rear seats are safer for infants and children than the front passenger seat.
Page 151 1-7. Safety information WARNING ■ SRS airbag precautions ● Do not lean against the door, the roof side rail or the front, side and rear pil- lars. ● Do not allow anyone to kneel on the passenger seat toward the door or put their head or hands outside the vehicle.
Page 152 If the areas where the SRS airbags are stored, such as the steering wheel pad and front and rear pillar garnishes, are damaged or cracked, have them replaced by any authorized SUBARU dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
Page 153 Modification and disposal of SRS airbag system components Do not dispose of your vehicle or perform any of the following modifications without consulting any authorized SUBARU dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.

Failure to do so may cause damage to parts of the drive train, as well as dangerous handling characteristics, which may lead to an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
Page 421 When a tire is repaired with liquid sealants, the tire pressure warning valve and transmitter may not operate properly. If a liquid sealant is used, contact any authorized SUBARU dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional or other qualified service shop as soon as possible.

Page 426 When replacing wheels (vehicles with a tire pressure monitoring sys- tem) The wheels of your SUBARU are equipped with tire pressure warning valves and transmitters that allow the tire pressure monitoring system to provide advanced warning in the event of a loss in tire inflation pressure. Whenever wheels are replaced, the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters must be installed.
Page 427 Because tire repair or replacement may affect the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters, make sure to have tires serviced by your SUBARU dealer or other qualified service shop. In addition, make sure to purchase your tire pressure warning valves and transmitters at any autho- rized SUBARU dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
