Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
– CONTINUED –
Rear seats
ySeatbelts provide maximum restraint when
the occupant sits well back and upright in the
seat. Do not put cushions or any other materi-
als between occupants and seatbacks or seat
cushions. If you do so, the risk of sliding under
the lap belt and of the lap belt sliding up over
the abdomen will increase, and both can result
in serious internal injury or death. y To avoid the possibility of serious injury or
death, passengers must never be allowed to sit on the rear center console while the vehicle is
in motion. The rear seat of this vehicle is de-
signed for no more than two passengers and is
equipped with only two seatbelts. y
Make sure that the rear seatback is securely
locked. When it is securely locked, the red
marking on the lock is no longer visible. If it is
not locked, the seatback may move forward
when the vehicle is operated.
„ Rear headrest
Rear headrest are not adjustable, nor removable.

must be inspected by a SUBARU dealer ten years af-
ter the date of manufacture, which is shown on the cer-
tification label attached to the driver’s door.

er as soon as possible. y The front part of the vehicle was involved in an

yInstallation of custom steering wheels
y Attachment of additional trim materials to
the dashboard

equipment such as a mobile two-way radio on
or near the SRS airbag system components
and/or wiring is not advisable. This could inter-
fere with proper operation of the SRS airbag
