1-7. Safety information
■If the front passenger’s frontal airbag ON indicator illuminates and the
OFF indicator turns off even when an infant or a small child is in a child
restraint system (including booster seat)
Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position (vehicles without a keyless
access with push button start system), or turn the push-button ignition switch
off (vehicles with a keyless access with push button start system) if the front
passenger’s frontal airbag ON indicator illuminates and the OFF indicator
turns off even when an infant or a small child is in a child restraint system
(including booster seat). Remove the child restraint system from the seat. By
referring to the child restraint manufacturer’s recommendations as well as
the child restraint system installation procedures in “Child restraint systems”( → P. 132), correctly install the child restraint system. Turn the ignition switch
to the “ON” position (vehicles without a keyless access with push button start
system), or turn the push-button ignition switch to the “ON” mode (vehicles
with a keyless access with push button start system) and make sure that the
front passenger’s frontal airbag ON indicator turns off and the OFF indicator
illuminates.
If still the ON indicator remains illuminated while the OFF indicator turns off,
take the following actions.
●Ensure that no article is placed on the seat other than the child restraint
system and the child occupant.
●Ensure that the backward-forward position and seatback of front passen-
ger’s seat are locked into place securely by moving the seat back andforth.
If the ON indicator still remains illuminated while the OFF indicator turns off
after taking relevant corrective actions described above, relocate the child
restraint system to the rear seat and immediately contact your SUBARU
dealer for an inspection.
NOTE
When a child who has outgrown a child restraint system or a small adult is
seated in the front passenger’s seat, the SUBARU advanced frontal airbag
system may or may not activate the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag
depending on the occupant’s seating posture. The child should always wear
the seatbelt when sitting in the seat irrespective of whether the airbag is
deactivated or activated. If the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag is acti-
vated (the ON indicator remains illuminated while the OFF indicator turns
off), take the following actions.

100
1-7. Safety information
■If the passenger’s frontal airbag OFF indicator illuminates and the ON
indicator turns off even when the front passenger’s seat is occupied by
an adult
This can be caused by the adult incorrectly sitting in the front passenger’s
seat. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position (vehicles without a key-
less access with push button start system), or turn the push-button ignition
switch off (vehicles with a keyless access with push button start system).
Ask the front passenger to set the seatback to the upright position, sit up
straight in the center of the seat cushion, correctly fasten the seatbelt, posi-
tion his/her legs out forward, and adjust the seat to the rearmost position.
Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position (vehicles without a keyless
access with push button start system), or turn the push-button ignition switch
to the “ON” mode (vehicles with a keyless access with push button start sys-
tem). If the OFF indicator remains illuminated while the ON indicator remains
off, take the following actions.
●Vehicles without a keyless access with push button start system:
Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK” position.
Vehicles with a keyless access with push button start system:
Turn the push-button ignition switch off.
●Make sure that the front passenger does not use a blanket, seat cushion,
seat cover, seat heater or massager, etc.
●If wearing excessive layers of clothing, the front passenger should
remove any unnecessary items before sitting in the front passenger’s
seat, or should sit in a rear seat.
●Next, turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position and wait 6 seconds to
allow the system to complete self-checking. Following the system check,
both indicators turn off for 2 seconds. Now, the ON indicator should illu-
minate while the OFF indicator remains off.
If the OFF indicator still remains illuminated while the ON indicator remains
off, ask the occupant to move to the rear seat and immediately contact your
SUBARU dealer for an inspection.

Before driving
The front passenger’s frontal airbag ON and OFF indicators show
you the status of the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag. 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), both the ON and OFF indi-
cators illuminate for 6 seconds during the system check. After the
system check, both the ON and OFF indicators turn off for 2 sec-
onds. Then, either the ON or OFF indicator illuminates depending
on the condition of the front passenger’s frontal airbag.
When the OFF indicator remains off and ON indicator illuminates,
the front passenger’s frontal airbag may deploy during a collision.
When the OFF indicator illuminates and ON indicator remains off,
the front passenger’s frontal airbag does not deploy during a colli-
sion.
If the front passenger’s frontal airbag ON and OFF indicators
remain on 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), or the indica-
tors remain off after the system check, the system may be malfunc-
tioning. Have the vehicle inspected by your SUBARU dealer
immediately.
After that, one of the indicators illuminates depending on the status
of the front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag determined by the
SUBARU advanced frontal airbag monitoring system.

1-7. Safety information
Turn the engine switch to the “ON” position (vehicles without a
keyless access with push button start system), or the push-
button ignition switch to “ON” mode (vehicles with a keyless
access with push button start system). The ON and OFF indi-
cators illuminate for 6 seconds during the system check and
after the system check is performed, the ON and OFF indica-
tors turn off for 2 seconds. Then, the OFF indicator remains
off while the ON indicator is illuminated. If the ON indicator
remains off and the OFF indicator is illuminated, move the
occupant to the rear seat backwards and immediately contact
your SUBARU dealer and have the vehicle inspected.
If the front passenger’s frontal airbag ON indicator illuminates and the OFF indicator turns off
even when an infant or a small child is in a child restraint system (including booster seat)
This can be caused by the child restraint system being installed incor-
rectly. Perform the following.
Vehicles without a keyless access with push button start sys-
tem:
The engine switch is turned to the “LOCK” position.
Vehicles with a keyless access with push button start system:
Turn the push-button ignition switch off.
Remove the child restraint system from the seat. By referring
to the child restraint manufacturer’s recommendations as well
as the child restraint system installation procedure in “child
restraint system”, correctly reinstall the child restraint system.
