5. Before seating a child in the child re-
straint system, try to move seat back and
forth and left and right to verify that it is
held securely in position.
6. To remove the child restraint system,
follow the reverse procedures of installa-
tion.
If you have any question concerning this
type of child restraint system, ask your
SUBARU dealer.„Top tether anchoragesYour vehicle is equipped with three top
tether anchorages so that a child restraint
system having a top tether can be in-
stalled in the rear seat. When installing a
child restraint system using top tether,
proceed as follows, while observing the in- structions by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
Since a top tether can provide additional
stability by offering another connection
between a child restraint system and the
vehicle, we recommend that you use a top
tether whenever one is required or avail-
able.
T
Anchorage location

Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
of driver’s/driver’s and front passenger’s
SRS frontal airbag(s). If the vehicle strikes
an object, such as a telephone pole or
sign pole, or if it slides under a truck’s load
bed, or if it sustains an oblique offset fron-
tal impact, the driver’s/driver’s and front
passenger’s SRS frontal airbag(s) may
not deploy depending on the level of acci-
dent forces involved.V
Examples of the types of accidents
in which the driver’s/driver’s and
front passenger’s SRS frontal air-
bag(s) will basically not deploy.
The driver’s and front passenger’s SRS
frontal airbags are designed basically not to deploy 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 frontal collision.
1) First impact
2) Second impactIn an accident where the vehicle is impact-
ed more than once, the driver’s and/or
front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag(s)
will deploy only once on the first impact.
Example: In the case of a double collision,
first with another vehicle, then against a
concrete wall in immediate succession,
once either or both of the driver’s and front
passenger’s SRS frontal airbags is/are ac-
tivated on the first impact, it/they will not
be activated on the second impact.

1) The vehicle is involved in an oblique
side-on impact.
2) The vehicle is involved in a side-on impact in an area outside the vicinity
of the passenger compartment.
3) The vehicle strikes a telephone pole or similar object.
4) The vehicle is involved in a side-on impact from a motorcycle.
5) The vehicle rolls onto its side or roof.
There are many types of collisions which
might not necessarily require SRS side
airbag deployment. In the event of acci-
dents like those illustrated, the SRS side
airbag may not deploy depending on the
level of accident forces involved.

than two seconds). All doors and the rear
gate will lock, an electric chirp will sound
once, the turn signal lights will flash once,
and the indicator lights will start flashing
rapidly. After rapid flashing for 30 seconds
(standby time), the indicator lights will
then flash slowly (twice approximately ev-
ery two seconds), indicating that the sys-
tem has been armed for surveillance.
If any of the doors or the rear gate is not
fully closed, an electronic chirp sounds
five times, the turn signal lights flash five
times to alert you that the doors or the rear
gate are not properly closed. When you
close the door, the system will automati-
cally arm and doors will automatically
lock.
TTo arm the system using power
door locking switches

2. Remove the key from the ignition
switch.
3. Open the doors and get out of the vehi-
cle.
4. Make sure that the engine hood is
locked.
5. Close the doors and the rear gate but
leave only the driver’s door or the front
passenger’s door open. 6. Push the front side (“LOCK” side) of
the power door locking switch to set the
door locks.
7. Close the door. An electronic chirp will
sound once, the turn signal lights will flash
once, and the indicator lights will start
flashing rapidly. After rapid flashing for 30
seconds (standby time), the indicator
lights will then flash slowly (twice approxi-
mately every two seconds), indicating that
the system has been armed for surveil-
lance.
NOTEy
The system can be armed even if the
engine hood, the windows and/or
moonroofs are opened. Always make
sure that they are fully closed before
arming the system. y
The 30-second standby time can be
eliminated if you prefer. Have it per-
formed by your SUBARU dealer.
y The system is in the standby mode
for a 30-second period after locking the
doors with the remote transmitter. The
security indicator light will flash at
short intervals during this period.
y If any of the following actions is done
during the standby period, the system
will not switch to the surveillance state. y Doors are unlocked using the re-
mote transmitter.
y Any door or the rear gate is
opened.
y Ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position.
y The engine does not start even when
the ignition switch is turned to the
“START” position once the alarm sys-
tem has been triggered.
„ Disarming the systemBriefly press the “ ” button (for less

Moonroof (if equipped)1) Open/close switch
2) Open
3) CloseThe moonroof operates only when the ig-
nition switch is in the “ON” position.„To open the moonroofPush and quickly release the rear part of
the switch to open the moonroof. The sun
shade will also be opened together with
the moonroof. The moonroof will stop at a
position 20 in (50 cm) away from the fully
closed position. Push the switch again to
open the moonroof completely.
To stop the moonroof at a desired posi-
tion, simply push the opposite side of the switch.
After washing the vehicle or after it rains,
wipe away water on the roof prior to open-
ing the moonroof to prevent drops of water
from falling into the passenger compart-
ment.
„
To close the moonroofPush and quickly release the front part of
the switch to close the moonroof. The
moonroof will stop at a position 8 in (20
cm) away from the fully closed position.
Push the switch again to close the moon-
roof completely.
To stop the moonroof at a desired posi-
tion, simply push the opposite side of the
switch.„Anti-entrapment functionWhen the moonroof senses an object
trapped between its glass and the vehi-
cle’s roof during closure, it automatically
moves back by 6 in (15 cm) from that point
and then stops. The anti-entrapment func-
tion may also be activated by a strong
shock on the moonroof even when there is
nothing trapped.NOTEyFor the sake of safety, it is recom-
mended that you avoid driving with the moonroof fully opened.
y
Driving with the moonroof fully open
can cause an annoying sound to gen-
erate at high speeds. If such a condi-
tion has been encountered, use the
moonroof at the initial stop position of
20 in (50 cm).
y If the moonroof cannot be closed
through switch operation because of
system failure, it can be closed manu-
ally using a hex-head wrench. For the
procedure, refer to “Moonroof – if the
moonroof cannot be closed” in Chap-
ter 9 “In case of emergency”.
T Sun shade
The sun shade can be slid forward or
backward by hand while the moonroof is
closed.

If the moonroof is opened, the sun shade
also moves back. yNever let anyone’s hands, arms,
head or any objects protrude from
the moonroof. A person could be
seriously injured if the vehicle
stops suddenly or turns sharply
or if the vehicle is involved in an
accident.
To avoid serious personal injury
caused by entrapment, you must
do the following.yBefore closing the moonroof,
make sure that no one’s hands,
arms, head or other objects will be
accidentally caught in the moon-
roof.yBefore leaving the vehicle, always
remove the key from the ignition
switch for safety and never allow
an unattended child to remain in
the vehicle. Failure to follow this
procedure could result in injury to
a child operating the moonroof.
yNever try to check the anti-entrap-
ment function by deliberately
placing part of your body in the
moonroof.
y Do not sit on the edge of the open
moonroof.
y Do not operate the moonroof if
falling snow or extremely cold
conditions have caused it to
freeze shut.
