!Subaru advanced frontal airbag sys- tem
Your vehicle is equipped with a Subaru advanced
frontal airbag system that complies with the new ad-
vanced frontal airbag requirements in the amended
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No.
208.
The Subaru advanced frontal airbag system automat-
ically determines the deployment force of the driver’s
SRS frontal airbag at the time of deployment as well as
whether or not to activate the front passenger’s SRS
frontal airbag and, if activated, the deployment force of
the SRS frontal airbag at the time of deployment.
Your vehicle has warning labels on the driver’s and
front passenger’s sun visors beginning with the phrase
“EVEN WITH ADVANCED AIR BAGS” and a tag at-
tached to the glove box lid beginning with the phrase
“Even with Advanced Air Bags”. Make sure that you
carefully read the instructions on the warning labels
and tag.
Always wear your seatbelt. Subaru advanced frontal
airbag system is a supplemental restraint system and
must be used in combination with a seatbelt. All occu-
pants should wear a seatbelt or be seated in an appro-
priate child restraint system.
The driver’s SRS frontal airbag is stowed in the center
portion of the steering wheel. The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag is stowed near the top of the dash-
board under an “SRS AIRBAG” mark.
In a moderate to severe frontal collision, the driver’s
and front passenger’s SRS frontal airbags deploy and
supplement the seatbelts by reducing the impact on
the driver’s and front passenger’s head and chest.
NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FACING CHILD
SAFETY SEAT IN THE FRONT SEAT. DOING SO
RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE
CHILD BY PLACING THE CHILD’S HEAD TOO

Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
– CONTINUED –
The SRS airbag deploys with considerable
speed and force. Occupants who are out of
proper position when the SRS airbag deploys
could suffer very serious injuries. Because the
SRS airbag needs enough space for deploy-
ment, the driver should always sit upright and
well back in the seat as far from the steering
wheel as practical while still maintaining full ve-
hicle control and the front passenger should
move the seat as far back as possible and sit
upright and well back in the seat.
It is also important to wear your seatbelt to help avoid injuries that can result when the SRS air-
bag contacts an occupant not in proper posi-
tion such as one thrown toward the front of the
vehicle during pre-accident braking.
Do not put any objects over the steering wheel
pad and dashboard. If the SRS frontal airbag
deploys, those objects could interfere with its
proper operation and could be propelled inside
the vehicle and cause injury.

"Never allow a child to kneel on the front pas-
senger’s seat facing the side window or to wrap
his/her arms around the front seatback. In the
event of an accident, the force of the SRS side
airbag deployment could injure the child seri-
ously because his/her head or arms or other
body parts are too close to the SRS side airbag.
Since your vehicle is also equipped with a front
passenger’s SRS frontal airbag, children aged
12 and under should be placed in the rear seat
anyway and should be properly restrained at all times. " Never allow a child to kneel on the front and
rear passenger’s seat facing the side window.
In the event of an accident, the force of the SRS
curtain airbag deployment could injure the
child seriously because his/her head is close to
the SRS curtain airbag.
" Do not attach accessories to the door trim or
near either SRS side airbags and do not place
objects near the SRS side airbags. In the event
of the SRS side airbag deployment, they could
be propelled dangerously toward the vehicle’s
occupants and cause injuries." Do not attach a hands-free microphone or
any other accessory to a front pillar, a center
pillar, a rear pillar, the windshield, a side win-
dow, an assist grip, or any other cabin surface
that would be near a deploying SRS curtain air-
bag. A hands-free microphone or other acces-

Keys and doors
NOTE
Even if the security indicator light flashes irregu-
larly or its fuse blows (the light does not flash if its
fuse is blown), the immobilizer system will func-
tion normally. !
Key replacement
Your key number plate and security ID plate will be re-
quired if you ever need a replacement key made. Any
new key must be registered for use with your vehicle’s
immobilizer system before it can be used. Up to four
keys can be registered for use with one vehicle.
For security, all the keys registered with your vehicle’s
immobilizer system will have their ID codes erased
and re-registered when a new key is made. Therefore,
all of your vehicle’s keys must be presented when a
new key is registered. Any key that is not re-registered
when a new key is made cannot be used after the oth-
er keys are re-registered. For information on replace-
ment keys and on the registration of keys with your im-
mobilizer system, contact your SUBARU dealer.Door locks ! Locking and unlocking from the out- side
To lock the door from the outside with the key, turn the
key toward the rear. To unlock the door, turn the key
toward the front.

approximately 30 feet (10 meters). However, this dis-
tance will vary depending on environmental condi- tions. The system’s operable distance will be shorter
in areas near a facility or electronic equipment emitting
strong radio waves such as a power plant, broadcast
station, TV tower, or remote controller of home elec-
tronic appliances.
