Installing child restraint systems with seatbelt
HB1080BA
1. Set the child restraint system in the seating posi- tion.
2. Run the lap and shoulder belt through or around
the child restraint system following the instructions
provided by its manufacturer. If the shoulder belt
goes in front of the child ’s face or neck, put it behind
the child restraint system.
3. Insert the tongue plate into the buckle.
4. Take up the slack in the lap belt.
5. Pull out the seatbelt fully from the retractor to
change the retractor over from the Emergency Lock-ing Retractor (ELR) to the Automatic Locking Re-
tractor (ALR) function. Then, allow the belt to rewind into the retractor. As the belt is rewinding, clicks will
be heard which indicate the retractor functions asALR.
6. Before having a child sit in the child restraint sys-
tem, move it back and forth to check if it is firmly
secured. Sometimes a child restraint can be more
firmly secured by pushing it down into the seat
cushion and then tightening the seatbelt.
7. Pull at the shoulder portion of the belt to confirm
that it cannot be pulled out (ALR properly function-ing).
If the child restraint system requires a top tether,
latch the hook onto the top tether anchor and tighten
the top tether. See the
“Top tether anchorages ” for
additional instructions.

You will find marks “Child” at the bottom of the rear
seat seatbacks. These marks indicate the positions of the lower anchorages (bars).
HB1088BA
Each lower anchorage is located where the seat
cushion meets the seatback.
1. Use the “Child” marks to locate the two lower an-
chorages (bars) for the position where you want to
install the child restraint system.
2. While following the instructions supplied by the
child restraint system manufacturer, connect the
connectors of the child restraint system to the loweranchorages.
When the connectors are fastened, make sure that
the adjacent seatbelts are not caught. If your child restraint system is of a flexible attach-
ment type (which uses tether straps to connect the
child restraint system proper to the lower anchor-
ages), firmly tighten the straps after connecting theconnectors.
3. Connect the top tether hook to the tether anchor-
age and firmly tighten the tether.
For information on how to set the top tether, read the
following “
Top tether anchorages ”.
4. Before seating a child in the child restraint sys-
tem, try to move seat back and forth to verify that it
is held securely in position.
If you have any question concerning this type of
child restraint system, ask your SUBARU dealer.
WARNING
When you install a child restraint system, fol- low the manufacturer ’s instructions supplied
with it. After installing the child restraint sys-tem, check to ensure that it is held securely in
position. If it is not held tight and secure, the
danger of your child suffering personal injuryin the event of an accident may be increased.

deployment force. The SRS airbags deploy with considerable
speed and force. Occupants who are out ofproper position when the SRS airbag deploys
could suffer very serious injuries. Becausethe SRS airbag needs enough space for de- ployment, the driver should always sit upright and well back in the seat as far from the steer-ing wheel as practical while still maintainingfull vehicle control and the front passengershould move the seat as far back as possibleand sit upright and well back in the seat. Do not place any objects over or near the
SRS airbag cover or between you and the SRS airbag. If the SRS airbag deploys, those ob-jects could interfere with its proper operationand could be propelled inside the car and
cause injury.
HG1002BA
WARNING
Put children aged 12 and under in the rear
seat properly restrained at all times. The SRS airbag deploys with considerable speed andforce and can injure or even kill children, es-
pecially if they are 12 years of age and underand 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, we strongly recommend thatALL children (including those in child seats
and those that have outgrown child restraint
devices) sit in the REAR seat properly re-

WARNING
The SRS airbag deploys with considerable speed and force. Occupants who are out of proper position when the SRS airbag deploys
could suffer very serious injuries. Becausethe SRS airbag needs enough space for de-ployment, the driver should always sit uprightand well back in the seat as far from the steer-ing wheel as practical while still maintaining full vehicle control and the front passenger should move the seat as far back as possibleand sit upright and well back in the seat. It is also important to wear your seatbelt to
help avoid injuries that can result when the SRS airbag contacts an occupant not in prop-er position such as one thrown toward thefront of the car during pre-accident braking.HG1001BA
The driver
’s SRS frontal airbag is stowed in the cen-
ter portion of the steering wheel. The passenger ’s
SRS frontal airbag is stowed near the top of the
dashboard under an “SRS AIRBAG ” mark.

nWhen is the SRS frontal airbag unlikely to deploy?
HG1035BA
There are many types of collisions which might not
necessarily require SRS frontal airbag deployment.
If the vehicle strikes an object, such as a telephonepole or sign pole, or if it slides under a truck ’s load
bed, or if it sustains an oblique offset frontal impact,
the SRS frontal airbag may not deploy depending on
the level of accident forces involved.

operates by operating each transmitter. Deleting old transmitter codes
The control unit of the keyless entry system has four
memory locations to store transmitter codes, givingit the ability to operate with up to four transmitters.
When you lose a transmitter, the lost transmitter ’s
code remains in the memory. For security reasons,
lost transmitter codes should be deleted from the
memory.
To delete old transmitter codes, program four trans-
mitter codes into the system. If you have only one
current transmitter, program it four times. If you have
two current transmitters, program each one twice. If
you have three current transmitters, program two of
them once and the third one twice. This process will
leave only current transmitter codes in the system ’s
memory. NOTE
Make sure no one else is operating their keyless entry system within range of your vehicle whenprogramming transmitters. If someone else wereto operate their remote transmitter while you are programming your transmitters, it is possible that their transmitter code will be programmedinto your system, allowing them unauthorized
access to your vehicle. Security system (if equipped)
The security system helps to protect your vehicle
and valuables from theft. The horn sounds and the
parking lights flash if someone attempts to break
into your vehicle. The starter motor is also inter-
rupted to prevent starting the vehicle without a key.
The system can be armed and disarmed with the
remote transmitter.The system does not operate when the key is in-
serted into the ignition switch.
System operation
The security system will give the following alarm in-
dications when triggered: The parking lights will flash and the horn will
sound intermittently. In addition, the starter motor willnot operate. The alarm automatically resets after 30 seconds;
however, the alarm will reactivate if the vehicle is
tampered with again. The alarm will continue for sixtimes if any sensor continues to be activated.
The alarm is triggered by: Opening a door, the rear gate or trunk lid.
Application of physical shock to the vehicle (e.g.
