1. Raise the head restraint to the ex-
tended position. Do not remove the head
restraint.2. Remove the tongue plate from the belt
holder on the right side of the cargo area
and pull out the seatbelt slowly.
3. After drawing out the seatbelt, pass it
through the belt guide as follows: First
insert one edge of the belt into the open
gap in the belt guide; then slide the rest of
the belt in, so that the whole belt fits inside.
4. After confirming that the webbing is not
twisted, insert the connector (tongue)
attached at the webbing end into the
buckle on the right-hand side until a click
is heard.
.If the belt stops before reaching the
buckle, return the belt slightly and pull it
out more slowly.

.Side impact sensor
.Front door impact sensor
.Rollover sensor
If the sensor detects a certain predeter-
mined amount of force during frontal or
side collisions or rollover accidents, any
seatbelt that has a seatbelt pretensioner is
quickly drawn back in by the retractor to
take up the slack so that the belt more
effectively restrains the seat occupant.
The driver’s seatbelt pretensioner includes
a tension reducing device which limits the
peak forces exerted by the seatbelt on the
occupant in the event of a collision.
When a seatbelt pretensioner is activated,
an operating noise will be heard and a
small amount of smoke will be released.
These occurrences are normal and not
harmful. This smoke does not indicate a
fire in the vehicle.
Once the seatbelt pretensioner has been
activated, the seatbelt retractor remains
locked. Consequently, the seatbelt can not
be pulled out and retracted and therefore
must be replaced.!In cases of rollover accident, frontal
collisions or side collisions, the
following components will operate
simultaneously
For details, refer to“In cases of rollover
accident, frontal collisions or side colli-
sions, the following components will oper-
ate simultaneously”F1-23.
&Seatbelt with shoulder belt
and lap belt pretensioners
NOTEThis section is applicable to the front
passenger’s side seatbelt.1) Seatbelt retractor assembly (shoulder
belt pretensioner and adaptive force
limiter)
2) Lap belt pretensioner
On the front passenger’sside,the
shoulder belt pretensioner is supplemen-
ted by a lap belt pretensioner, which is
located at the base of the center pillar. Like
the shoulder belt pretensioner, the lap belt
pretensioner instantaneously pulls in the
belt to eliminate slack if a certain level of
frontal collision force is detected. As a
result, the seatbelt restrains the front seat
occupant more effectively.
The front passenger’s seatbelt preten-
sioner includes a tension reducing device
which limits the peak forces exerted by the
seatbelt on the occupant in the event of a
collision.
The adaptive force limiter will select a
reducing load to the suit body size of
occupant as detected by the occupant
detection sensor.
When a seatbelt pretensioner is activated,
an operating noise will be heard and a
small amount of smoke will be released.
These occurrences are normal and not
harmful. This smoke does not indicate a
fire in the vehicle.
Once the seatbelt pretensioner has been
activated, the seatbelt pretensioner re-
mains locked. Consequently, the seatbelt
cannot be pulled out and retracted and
therefore must be replaced.

belts
.Lower anchorages (bars)
.Upper anchorages (tether anchorages)
Some types of child restraints might not be
able to be secured firmly due to projection
of the seat cushion.
In this seating position, you should use
only a child restraint system that has a
bottom base that fits snugly against the
contours of the seat cushion and can be
securely retained using the seatbelt.
C: Rear seat, center seating position
The ALR/ELR seatbelt and an upper
anchorage (tether anchorage) are pro-
vided in this position.
Some types of child restraints might not be
able to be secured firmly due to projection
of the seat cushion.
In this seating position, you should use
only a child restraint system that has a
bottom base that fits snugly against the
contours of the seat cushion and can be
securely retained using the seatbelt.
When you install a child restraint system in
the rear seat’s center seating position,
raise the center head restraint.
Lower anchorages (bars) for window-side
seating positions may be used for a seat inthecenterseatingpositionifachild
restraint system manufacturer’s instruc-
tions permit and specify using anchors as
far apart as those in this vehicle.
If a child restraint system is not correctly
fixed in place (for example, if a child
restraint system can be moved more than
1 inch (2.5 cm) from side to side), you
should install the child restraint system in a
rear seat, window-side seating position.
WARNING
.Even with advanced airbags, chil-
dren can be seriously injured by
the airbag. Place children in the
rear seat properly restrained at
all times. The SRS airbag deploys
with considerable speed and
force and can injure or even kill
children, especially if they are not
restrained or improperly re-
strained. Because children are
lighter and weaker than adults,
their risk of being injured from
deployment is greater.
For that reason, be sure to secure
ALL types of child restraint de-
vices (including forward facing
child seats) in the REAR seats at
all times. You should choose a
restraint device which is appro-priate for the child’s age, height
and weight. According to acci-
dent statistics, children are safer
when properly restrained in the
rear seating positions than in the
front seating positions.
.Do not use lower anchorages
(bars) for a seat in the center
seating position unless a child
restraint system manufacturer’s
instructions permit and specify
using anchors spaced as far
apart as those in this vehicle.
.Do not connect two or more lower
hooks onto the same anchorage
(bar).

!Front passenger’s SRS frontal air-
bag
The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag
uses a dual stage inflator. The inflator
operates in different ways depending on
the severity of impact.1) Occupant detection sensorsThe occupant detection system sensors
are installed between the seat and seat
rails, and monitor the physique and pos-
ture of the front passenger. Using this
information, the occupant detection sys-
tem determines whether the front passen-
ger’s SRS frontal airbag should be de-
ployed or not.
The occupant detection system may not
inflate the front passenger’s SRS frontal
airbag even when the driver’s SRS frontalairbag deploys. This is normal. In this
case, although the front passenger’s SRS
frontal airbag does not operate, the front
passenger’s seatbelt pretensioner oper-
ates with the driver’s seatbelt preten-
sioner. For details about the seatbelt
pretensioner, refer to“Seatbelt preten-
sioners”F1-21.
CAUTION
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may prevent the
SUBARU advanced frontal airbag
system from functioning correctly
or cause the system to fail.
.Do not apply any strong impact to
the front passenger’s seat such
as by kicking.
.Do not let rear passengers rest
their feet between the front seat-
back and seat cushion.
.Do not spill liquid on the front
passenger’s seat. If liquid is
spilled, wipe it off immediately.
.Do not remove or disassemble
the front passenger’s seat.
.Do not install any accessory
(such as an audio amplifier) other
than a genuine SUBARU acces-
sory under the front passenger’sseat.
.Do not place anything (shoes,
umbrella, etc.) under the front
passenger’s seat.
.Do not place any objects (books,
etc.) around the front passen-
ger’s seat.
.Do not use the front passenger’s
seat with the head restraint re-
moved.
.Do not leave any articles on the
front passenger’s seat or the
seatbelt tongue and buckle en-
gaged when you leave your vehi-
cle.
.Do not put sharp object(s) on the
seat or pierce the seat uphols-
tery.
.Do not place a magnet near the
seatbelt buckle and the seatbelt
retractor.
.Do not use front seats with their
forward-backward position and
seatback not being locked into
place securely. If any of them are
not locked securely, adjust them
again. For adjusting procedure,
refer to“Forward and backward
adjustment”F1-5 and“Reclining

small adult in the rear seat and imme-
diately contact your SUBARU dealer for
an inspection. Even if the system has
passed the dealer inspection, it is
recommended that on subsequent trips
the child/small adult always take the
rear seat.
Children who have outgrown a child
restraint system should always wear the
seatbelt irrespective of whether the airbag
is deactivated or activated.
