WARNING
■Seatbelt damage and wear
●Do not damage the seatbelts by allowing the belt, plate, or buckle to be
jammed in the door.
●Inspect the seatbelt system periodically. Check for cuts, fraying, and loose
parts. Replace a damaged seatbelt immediately. Damaged seatbelts can-
not protect an occupant from death or serious injury.
●Ensure that the belt and plate are locked and the belt is not twisted.
If the seatbelt does not function correctly, immediately contact your
SUBARU dealer.
●Replace the seat assembly, including the belts, if your vehicle has been
involved in a serious accident, even if there's no obvious damage.
●Do not attempt to install, remove, modify, disassemble or dispose of the
seatbelts. Have any necessary repairs carried out by your SUBARU
dealer. Inappropriate handling of the pretensioner may prevent it from
operating properly, resulting in death or serious injury.
■When using the seatbelt guide
●Always make sure that the belt is not twisted, and runs freely through the
guide.
●Regardless of whether the guide is used or not, always secure the seatbelt
guide button.
●Do not hang from or pull the guide forcefully.
■Before using the rear seatbelts
●Always make sure that the seatbelt is
not caught in the seatback or twisted in
one of the hooks that secure the seat-
back. Failure to do so may cause the
seatbelt to not be fastened correctly or
to become ineffective in a collision,
resulting in serious injury.

2-1. Driving procedures
WARNING
●On vehicles with a manual transmission, do not shift the shift lever to R
while the vehicle is moving forward.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
●Do not shift the select lever to D (vehicles with an automatic transmission)
or shift lever to 1 (vehicles with a manual transmission) while the vehicle is
moving backward.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss of vehicle
control.
●On vehicles with a manual transmission, do not release the clutch pedal
too quickly. Doing so may propel the vehicle forward, possibly causing an
accident.
●Moving the select lever to N (vehicles with an automatic transmission) or
shift lever to neutral (vehicles with a manual transmission) while the vehi-
cle is moving will disengage the engine from the transmission. Engine
braking is not available when N or neutral is selected.
●During normal driving, do not turn off the engine. Turning the engine off
while driving will not cause loss of steering or braking control, but the
power assist to these systems will be lost. This will make it more difficult to
steer and brake, so you should pull over and stop the vehicle as soon as it
is safe to do so.
●Use engine braking (downshift) to maintain a safe speed when driving
down a steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and lose
effectiveness. ( →P. 175, 181)
●Do not adjust the position of the steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or
outside rear view mirrors while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle control that can cause accidents,
resulting in death or serious injury.
