1-7. Safety information
Front passenger occupant detection system
Your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger occupant detection
system. Using the sensors installed under the seat cover, the system
detects the conditions of the front passenger seat and activates or
deactivates the frontal airbag for front passenger seat. The occupant
detection system may not inflate the front passenger’s SRS frontal
airbag even when the driver’s SRS frontal airbag deploys. This is not
a malfunction. If the seatbelt buckle switch and/or front passenger’s
occupant detection system have failed, the SRS airbag system warn-
ing light will illuminate. Have the system inspected by your SUBARU
dealer immediately if the SRS airbag system warning light illumi-
nates.
If your vehicle has sustained impact, this may affect the proper func-
tion of the SUBARU advanced frontal airbag system. Immediately
contact your SUBARU dealer and have your vehicle inspected. Do
not use the front passenger seat while driving to your SUBARU
dealer.

When driving
■Daytime running light system
●Vehicles with an automatic transmission: To make your vehicle more visi-
ble to other drivers, the daytime running lights turn on automatically
whenever the engine is started, the select lever is shifted out of P and the
parking brake is released. Daytime running lights are not designed for
use at night.
●Vehicles with a manual transmission: To make your vehicle more visible
to other drivers, the daytime running lights turn on automatically when-
ever the engine is started and the parking brake is released. Daytime
running lights are not designed for use at night.
●Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running light system
offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help
improve fuel economy.
■Headlight control sensor
Headlight control sensor is located on the
passenger's side.
The sensor may not function properly if
an object is placed on the sensor, or any-
thing that blocks the sensor is affixed to
the windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the automatic headlight sys-
tem to malfunction.

In the following conditions, the headlights and the other remaining lights will
go off automatically after 20 minutes in order to prevent the vehicle battery
from being discharged:

tem).
●The light switch is in , or .
This function will be canceled in any of the following situations:
●When the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles without a
keyless access with push button start system) or the push-button ignition
switch is turned to “ON” mode (vehicles with a keyless access with push
button start system)
●When the light switch is operated
●When the door is opened or closed
■Customization that can be configured at your SUBARU dealer

ning.

When trouble arises
373 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Vehicles with a keyless access with push button start system
The driver’s seatbelt buzzer sounds to alert the driver that his or her seatbelt
is not fastened. Once the
push-button ignition switch is turned to “ON”
mode
, the buzzer sounds for 6 seconds. If the vehicle reaches a speed of
12 mph (20 km/h), the buzzer sounds once. If the seatbelt is still unfastened
after 30 seconds, the buzzer will sound intermittently for 10 seconds. Then,
if the seatbelt is still unfastened, the buzzer will sound in a different tone for
20 more seconds.
*2: Front passenger’s seatbelt buzzer:
The front passenger’s seatbelt buzzer sounds to alert the front passenger
that his or her seatbelt is not fastened. The buzzer sounds once if the vehi-
cle reaches a speed of 12 mph (20 km/h). If the seatbelt is still unfastened
after 30 seconds, the buzzer will sound intermittently for 10 seconds. Then,
if the seatbelt is still unfastened, the buzzer will sound in a different tone for
20 more seconds.
■Low fuel level warning light
When the vehicle is on an incline, curve and so forth, the fuel inside the tank
moves, which may cause the warning light to come on early.
■Front passenger detection sensor and passenger seatbelt reminder
and warning buzzer
●If luggage is placed on the front passenger seat, the front passenger
detection sensor may cause the warning light to flash and warning
buzzer to sound, even if a passenger is not sitting in the seat.
●If a cushion is placed on the seat, the sensor may not detect a passen-
ger, and the warning light may not operate properly.
■
When the tire pressure warning light comes on (if equipped)
Check the tire inflation pressure and adjust to the appropriate level.
■The tire pressure warning light may turn on due to natural causes
(if equipped)
The tire pressure warning light may turn on due to natural causes such
as natural air leaks or tire inflation pressure changes caused by temper-
ature. In this case, adjusting the tire inflation pressure will turn off the
warning light (after a few minutes).
