Safety Precautions When Driving■ Seatbelt and SRS Airbag
For instructions and precautions, carefully
read the following sections.
 For the seatbelt syst em, refer to "Seat-
belts" P39.
 For the SRS airbag system, refer to
"SRS Airbag (Supplemental Restraint
System Airbag)" P60.
Mark Name
WARNING
CAUTION
Read these instructions care-
fully
Wear eye protection
Battery fluid contains sulfuric
acid
Keep children away
Keep flames away
Prevent explosions
WARNING
 All persons in the vehicle must
fasten their seatbelts BEFORE
the vehicle starts to move. Other-
wise, the possibility of serious
injury becomes greater in the
event of a sudden stop or acci-
dent. To obtain maximum protection in
the event of an accident, the
driver and all passengers must
always wear seatbelts when in
the vehicle. The SRS (Supple-
mental Restraint System) airbag
does not do away with the need to
fasten seatbelts. In combination
with the seatbelts, it offers the
best combined protection in case
of a serious accident.
Not wearing a seatbelt increases
the chance of severe injury or
death in a crash even when the
vehicle has the SRS airbag.
 The SRS airbags deploy with
considerable speed and force.
Occupants who are out of the
proper position when the SRS
airbag deploys could suffer very
serious injuries. Because the
SRS airbag needs enough space
for deployment, the driver should
always sit upright and well back
in the seat as far from the steering
wheel as practical while still
maintaining full vehicle control
and the front passenger should
move the seat as far back as
possible and sit upright and well
back in the seat.

Safety Precautions When Driving
6■Child Safety
WARNING
Never hold a child on your lap or
in your arms while the vehicle is
moving. The passenger cannot
protect the child from injury in a
collision, because the child will
be caught between the passenger
and objects inside the vehicle. While riding in th e vehicle, infants
and small children should always
be seated in the REAR seat in an
infant or child restraint system
which is appropriate for the
child’s age, height and weight. If a
child is too big for a child
restraint system, the child should
sit in the REAR seat and be
restrained using the seatbelts.
According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating
positions than in the front seating
positions. Never allow a child to
stand up or kneel on the seat.
 Place children in the REAR seat
properly restrained at all times in
a child restraint system or in a
seatbelt. The SRS airbag deploys
with considerable speed and
force and can injure or even kill
children, especially if they are not
restrained or improperly
restrained. Because children are
lighter and weaker than adults,
their risk of being injured from
deployment is greater. NEVER INSTALL A CHILD
RESTRAINT SYSTEM IN THE
FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT.
DOING SO RISKS SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH TO THE
CHILD BY PLACING THE CHILD’S
HEAD TOO CLOSE TO THE SRS
AIRBAG. Always lock the passengers’
windows using the lock switch
when children are riding in the
vehicle. Failure to follow this
procedure could result in injury
to a child operating the power
window. Refer to "Windows"
 P116.
 Never leave unattended children,
adults or animals in the vehicle.
They could accidentally injure
themselves or others through
inadvertent operation of the
vehicle. Also, on hot or sunny
days, temperature in a closed
vehicle could quickly become
high enough to cause severe or
possibly fatal injuries to them. Help prevent children, adults or
animals from locking themselves
in the trunk. On hot or sunny
days, the temperature in the trunk
could quickly become high
enough to cause death or serious
heat-related injuries including
brain damage to anyone locked
inside, particularly for small chil-
dren. When leaving the vehicle, close
all windows and lock all doors.
Also make certain that the trunk
is closed.

Safety Precautions When Driving

Introduction
– CONTINUED –
For instructions and precautions, carefully
read the following sections.
 For the seatbelt system, refer to "Seat-
belts"  P39.
 For the child restraint system, refer to
"Child Restraint Systems" P46.
 For the SRS airbag system, refer to
"SRS Airbag (Supplemental Restraint
System Airbag)" P60.
■ Engine Exhaust Gas (Carbon
Monoxide)
■Drinking and Driving
Put children aged 12 and under or
1.5 m (4 feet 11 inches) tall or less
in the REAR seat properly
restrained at all times in a child
restraint system or in a seatbelt.
The SRS airbag deploys with
considerable speed and force
and can injure or even kill chil-
dren, especially if they are 12
years of age and under or 1.5 m (4
feet 11 inches) tall or less and are
not restrained or improperly
restrained. Because children are
lighter and weaker than adults,
their risk of being injured from
deployment is greater.
WARNING
 Never inhale engine exhaust gas.
Engine exhaust gas contains
carbon monoxide, a colorless
and odorless gas which is
dangerous, or even lethal, if
inhaled. Always properly maintain the
engine exhaust system to prevent
engine exhaust gas from entering
the vehicle. Never run the engine in a closed
space, such as a garage, except
for the brief time needed to drive
the vehicle in or out of it. Avoid remaining in a parked
vehicle for a long time while the
engine is running. If that is
unavoidable, then use the ventila-
tion fan to force fresh air into the
vehicle. Always keep the front ventilator
inlet grille free from snow, leaves
or other obstructions to ensure
that the ventilation system
always works properly.
 If at any time you suspect that
exhaust fumes are entering the
vehicle, have the problem
checked and corrected as soon
as possible. If you must drive
under these conditions, drive
only with all windows fully open. Keep the trunk lid closed while
driving to prevent exhaust gas
from entering the vehicle.
WARNING
Drinking and then driving is very
dangerous. Alcohol in the blood-
stream delays your reaction and
impairs your perception, judgment
and attentiveness. If you drive after
drinking even if you drink just a lit-
tle it will increase the risk of being
involved in a serious or fatal acci-
dent, injuring or killing yourself,
your passengers and others. In
addition, if you are injured in the
accident, alcohol may increase the
severity of that injury.Please don’t drink and drive.

Introduction
– CONTINUED –
■Use of Cell Phones/Texting
and Driving■Driving Vehicles Equipped
with Audio System
■Driving with PetsUnrestrained pets can interfere with your
driving and distract your attention from
driving. In a collision or sudden stop, unre-
strained pets or cages can be thrown
around inside the vehicle and hurt you or
your passengers. Besides, the pets can
be hurt under these situations. It is also for
their own safety that pets should be prop-
erly restrained in your vehicle. Restrain a
pet with a special traveling harness which
can be secured to the rear seat with a
seatbelt or use a pet carrier which can be
secured to the rear seat by routing a
seatbelt through the carrier’s handle.
Never restrain pets or pet carriers in the
front passenger’s seat. For further infor-
mation, consult your veterinarian, local
animal protection society or pet shop.■ Tire PressuresCheck and, if necessary, adjust the pres-
sure of each tire and the spare (if
equipped) at least once a month and
before any long journey.
Check the tire pressure when the tires are
cold. Use a pressure gauge to adjust the
tire pressures to the values shown on the
tire inflation pressure label. For detailed
information, refer to "Tires and Wheels"
 P358.
■ Attaching Accessories
CAUTION
Do not talk on a cell phone or text
while driving; it may distract your
attention from driving and lead to
an accident. If you use a cell phone
to talk or text, fi rst pull off the road
and park in a safe place. In some
States/Provinces, it may be lawful to
talk on a phone while driving, but
only if the phone is hands-free.
WARNING
Do not allow the monitor to distract
your attention from driving. Also,
do not operate the controls of the
audio system while driving. The
loss of attention to driving could
lead to an accident. If you wish to
operate the controls of the audio
system, first take the vehicle off the
road and stop it in a safe location.
WARNING
Driving at high speeds with
excessively low tire pressures
can cause the tires to deform
severely and to rapidly
become hot. A sharp increase
in temperature could cause
tread separation, and destruc-
tion of the tires. The resulting
loss of vehicle control could
lead to an accident.
WARNING
 Do not attach any accessories,
labels or sticke rs (other than
properly placed inspection
stickers) to the windshield. Such
items may obstruct your view. If it is necessary to attach an
accessory (such as an electronic
toll collection (ETC) device or
security pass) to the windshield,
consult your SUBARU dealer for
details on the proper location.

General Information■California Perchlorate Advi -
soryCertain vehicle co mponents such as
airbag modules, seatbelt pretensioners
and keyless entry transmitter batteries
may contain perchlorate material. Special
handling may apply for service or vehicle
end of life disposal. See www.dtsc.ca.gov/
hazardouswaste /perchlorate.■Noise from under the Vehicle
NOTEYou may hear a noise from under the
vehicle approximately 5 to 10 hours
after the ignition sw itch is turned to
the “OFF” position. However, this
does not indicate a malfunction. This
noise is caused by the operation of the
fuel evaporation leakage checking
system and the operation is normal.
The noise will stop after approximately
15 minutes.
■ Vehicle Data RecordingThe vehicle is equipped with sophisticated
computers that will record certain data,
such as:
 Vehicle speed
 Engine speed
 Engine control information
 Shift state information
 Driving information, etc.
▼ Data usageSUBARU may use the data recorded in

Introduction
■Event Data RecorderThis vehicle is equipped with an event
data recorder (EDR). The main purpose of
an EDR is to record, in certain crash or
near crash-like situations, such as an air
bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle,
data that will assist in understanding how
a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR
is designed to record data related to
vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a
short period of time, typically 30 seconds
or less. The EDR in this vehicle is
designed to record such data as:
 How various systems in your vehicle
were operating;
 Whether or not the driver and
passenger safety belts were buckled/
fastened;
 How far (if at all) the driver was
depressing the accelerator and/or brake
pedal; and,
 How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better
understanding of the circumstances in
which crashes and injuries occur. NOTE:
EDR data are recorded by your vehicle
only if a non-trivial crash situation occurs;
no data are recorded by the EDR under
normal driving conditions and no personal
data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash
location) are recorded. However, other
parties, such as la w enforcement, could combine the EDR data with the type of

personally identifying data routinely
acquired during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special
equipment is required, and access to the
vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition
to the vehicle manufa cturer, other parties,
such as law enforcement, that have the
special equipment, can read the informa-
tion if they have access to the vehicle or
the EDR.
