!Examples of the types of acci-dents in which the SRS sideairbag and SRS curtain airbagare not designed to deploy inmost cases
1) The vehicle is involved in frontal collisionwith another vehicle (moving or station-
ary).2) The vehicle is struck from behind.
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtainairbag are not designed to deploy in mostcases if the vehicle is involved in a frontalcollision or is struck from behind. Exam-ples of such accidents are illustrated.
1) First impact2) Second impactA) SRS curtain airbagB) SRS side airbag
In an accident where the vehicle is struckfrom the side more than once, the SRSside airbag and SRS curtain airbag deployonly once on the first impact.
Example: In the case of a double sideimpact collision, first with one vehicle andimmediately followed by another from the
same direction, once the SRS side airbagand SRS curtain airbag are activated onthe first impact, they will not be activatedon the second.
!Example of the type of accidentin which the SRS curtain airbagis not designed to deploy in mostcases
The SRS curtain airbags are not designedto deploy in most cases if the vehiclepitches end over end.

&SRS airbag system monitors
A diagnostic system continually monitorsthe readiness of the SRS airbag system(including front seatbelt pretensioners)while the vehicle is being driven. TheSRS airbag system warning light“AIR-BAG”will show normal system operationby lighting for approximately 6 secondswhen the ignition switch is turned to the“ON”position.
The following components are monitoredby the indicator.
.Front sub sensor–Right-hand side–Left-hand side.Airbag control module (including im-pact and rolloversensors)
.Frontal airbag module–Driver’s side–Front passenger’s side.Side airbag sensor–Center pillar right-hand side–Center pillar left-hand side.Side airbag module–Driver’s side–Front passenger’s side.Curtain airbag sensor–Rear wheel house right-hand side–Rear wheel house left-hand side.Curtain airbag module–Right-hand side–Left-hand side.Satellite safing sensor (under the sec-ond-row center seat)
.Seatbelt pretensioner–Driver’s side–Front passenger’s side.Seatbelt buckleswitch (front passen-ger’s side)
.Front passenger’sseatbelttensionsensor
.Front passenger’s occupant detectionsystem weight sensor
.Front passenger’s occupant detectioncontrolmodule
.Front passenger’s frontal airbag ONand OFF indicator
.All related wiring
WARNING

Immediately take your vehi-cle to your nearest SUBARU dealerto have the system checked. Unlesschecked and properly repaired, theseatbelt pretensioners and/or SRSairbags will operate improperly (e.g.SRS airbags may inflate in a veryminor collision or not inflate in asevere collision), which may in-crease the risk of injury.
.Flashing or flickering of the warn-ing light
.No illumination of the warninglight when the ignition switch isfirst turned to the“ON”position

Three types of keys are provided for yourvehicle.
Master key, submaster key and valet key.
The masterkey and submaster key fit alllocks on your vehicle.
.Ignition switch

.Glove box
The valet key fits only the ignition switchand door locks. You can keep the glove
box locked when you leave your vehicleand valet key at a parking facility.
CAUTION
Do not attach a large key holder orkey case to either key. If it bangsagainst your knees while you aredriving, it could turn the ignitionswitch from the“ON”position to the“Acc”or“LOCK”position, therebystopping the engine.
&Key number plate
1) Key number plate2) Security ID plate
The key number is stamped on the keynumber plate attached to the key set.Writedown the key number and keep it inanother safe place, not in the vehicle. Thisnumber is needed to make a replacementkey if you lose your key or lock it inside thevehicle.
For information on making replacementkeys for models with the immobilizersystem, refer to“Security ID plate”F2-3.

Immobilizer
CAUTION
FCC WARNING
Changes or modifications not ex-pressly approved by the party re-sponsible for compliance could voidthe user’s authority to operate theequipment.
The immobilizer system is designed toprevent an unauthorized person fromstarting the engine. Only keys registeredwith your vehicle’s immobilizer system canbe used to operate your vehicle. Even ifan unregistered key fits into the ignitionswitchand can be turned to the“START”position, the engine will automatically stopafter several seconds.
Each immobilizer key contains a trans-ponder in which the key’s ID code isstored. When a key is inserted into theignition switch and turned to the“ON”position, the transponder transmits thekey’s ID code to the immobilizer system’sreceiver. If the transmitted ID codematches the ID code registered in theimmobilizer system, the system allows theengine to be started. Since the ID code istransmitted and acted upon almost in-
stantly, the immobilizer system does notimpede normal starting of the engine.
If the engine does not start, pull out thekey once before trying again. Refer to“Ignition switch”F3-3.
This device complies with Part 15 ofthe FCC Rules and RSS-Gen of ICRules. Operation is subject to thefollowing two conditions: (1) this de-vice may not cause harmful interfer-ence, and (2) this device must acceptany interference received, includinginterference that may cause undesiredoperation.
CAUTION

If the security indicator light does not flash,the immobilizer system may be malfunc-tioning. If this occurs, contact yourSUBARUdealer as soon as possible.
In case an unauthorized key is used (e.g.an imitation key), the security indicatorlight illuminates.
NOTE
Even if the security indicator lightflashes irregularly or its fuse blows(the light does not flash if its fuse isblown), the immobilizer system willfunction normally.
&Key replacement
