ECU SUBARU TRIBECA 2014 1.G Owner's Manual

5. To remove the booster seat, press therelease button on the seatbelt buckle andallow the belt to retract.
WARNING
.Never use a belt that is twisted orreversed.In an accident, this canincrease the risk or severity ofinjury to the child.
.Never place the shoulder beltunder the child’s arm or behindthe child’s back. If an accidentoccurs, this can increase the riskor severity of injury to the child.
.The seatbelt should fit snugly inorder to provide full restraint.Loose fitting belts are not as
effective in preventing or redu-cing injury.
.Place the lap belt as low aspossible on the child’s hips. Ahigh-positioned lap belt will in-crease the risk of sliding underthe lap belt and of the lap beltsliding up over the abdomen, andboth can result in serious inter-nalinjury or death.
.Make sure the shoulder belt ispositioned across the center ofchild’sshoulder.Placingtheshoulder belt over the neck mayresult in neck injury during sud-den braking or in a collision.
&Installation of child restraint
systems by use of lower and
tether anchorages (LATCH)
WARNING
.Child restraint systems and seat-belts can become hot in a vehiclethat has been closed up in sunnyweather; they could burn a smallchild.Check the child restraintsystem before you place a childin it.
.Do not leave an unsecured child
restraint system in your vehicle.Unsecured child restraint sys-tems can be thrown around in-side of the vehicle in a suddenstop, turn or accident; they canstrike and injure vehicle occu-pants as well as result in seriousinjuries or death to the child.
CAUTION
When you install a child restraintsystem, follow the manufacturer’sinstructions supplied with it. Afterinstalling thechild restraint system,check to ensure that it is heldsecurely in position. If it is not heldtight and secure, the danger of yourchild suffering personal injury in theevent of an accident may be in-creased.
Some types of child restraint systems canbe installed in a rear seating position ofyour vehicle without use of the seatbelts.Such child restraint systems are securedto the dedicated anchorages provided onthe vehicle body.
The lower and tether anchorages aresometimes referred to as the LATCHsystem (LowerAnchors andTethers forCHildren).

CAUTION
When you install a child restraintsystem, follow the manufacturer’sinstructions supplied with it. Afterinstalling the child restraint system,check to ensure that it is heldsecurely in position. If it is not heldtight and secure, the danger of yourchild sufferingpersonal injury in theevent of an accident may be in-creased.
1. Slide the seat or seat pair to itsrearmost position.
2. Make the clearance between the seat
cushion and seatback a little wider tolocate the two anchorages (bars) for theposition where you want to install the childrestraint system.
3. While following the instructions sup-plied by the child restraint system manu-facturer, connect the lower hooks onto thelower anchorages located at“”marks onthe bottomof the seatback. When thehooks are connected, make sure theadjacent seatbelts are not caught.
4. If your child restraint system is aflexible attachment type (which usestether belts to connect the child restraintsystem properly to the lower anchorages),while pushing the child restraint into theseat cushion, pull both left and right lowertetherbelts up to secure the child restraintsystem firmly by taking up the slack in thebelt.
5. Connect the top tether hook to thetether anchorage and firmly tighten thetether. For information on how to set thetop tether, refer to“Top tether anchorages”F1-40.

6. Before seating a child in the childrestraint system, try to move seat backand forth and left and right to verify that itis held securely in position.
7. To remove the child restraint system,follow the reverse procedures of installa-tion.
If you have any question concerning thistype of child restraint system, ask yourSUBARU dealer.
&Top tether anchorages
Your vehicle is equipped with five toptether anchorages so that a child restraintsystem having a top tether can beinstalled in a rear seating position. Wheninstalling a child restraint system using toptether, proceed as follows, while observingthe instructions by the child restraint
system manufacturer.
Since a top tether can provide additionalstability by offering another connectionbetween a child restraint system and thevehicle, we recommend that you use a toptether whenever one is required or avail-able.
!Tether anchorage location
!Second-row seat
Three tether anchorages, i.e., ones for theright, centerand left seats, are alreadyinstalled on the back of each seatback.Open the cover flap to use each ancho-rage.
!Third-row seat
Two tether anchorages are attached to therear edge of the cargo area.
Open the cover flap to use each ancho-rage.

!To hook the top tether
!Second-row outboard seat
1. Remove the head restraint at thewindow-sideseating position where thechild restraint system has been installedwith the lower anchorages or seatbelt; liftup the head restraint while pressing therelease button. Store the head restraint inthe cargo area. Avoid placing the headrestraint in the passenger compartment toprevent it from being thrown around in thepassenger compartment in a sudden stopor a sharp turn.
2. Confirm that there are no obstaclesaround the anchorages.
3. Fasten the top tether hook of the childrestraint system to the appropriate upperanchorage.
4. Tighten the top tether securely.
CAUTION
When the child restraint system is tobe secured using the top tether,pass the top tether under the headrestraint between the head restraintstay posts.
CAUTION
Be sure to install the top tether withthe head restraint raised to thehighest position. If the head re-straint is in any of the lower posi-tions, the top tether will touch thehead restraint and the resultingslack will prevent its secure installa-tion.

1-46Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
refer to“Seatbelts”F1-17.
.Do not sit or lean unnecessarilyclose to the SRS airbag. Becausethe SRS airbag deploys withconsiderable speed–faster thanthe blink of an eye–and force toprotect in high speed collisions,the force of an airbag can injurean occupant whose body is tooclose to SRS airbag.
It is also important to wear yourseatbelt to help avoid injuriesthat can result when the SRSairbag contacts an occupant notin proper position such as onethrown forward during pre-acci-dent braking.
Even when properly positioned,there remainsa possibility thatan occupant may suffer minorinjury such as abrasions andbruises to the face or armsbecause of the SRS airbag de-ployment force.
.The SRS airbags deploy withconsiderable speed and force.Occupants who are out of properposition when the SRS airbagdeploys could suffer very seriousinjuries. Because the SRS airbagneeds enough space for deploy-
ment, the driver should alwayssit upright and well back in theseat as far from the steeringwheel as practical while stillmaintaining full vehicle controland the front passenger shouldmove the seat as far back aspossible and sit upright and wellback in the seat.
.Do not place any objects over ornear the SRS airbag cover orbetween you and the SRS airbag.If the SRS airbag deploys, thoseobjects could interfere with itsproper operation and could bepropelled inside the vehicle andcause injury.
WARNING
.Put children aged 12 and under ina rear seat properly restrained atall times. The SRS airbag de-ploys with considerable speedand force and can injure or evenkill children, especially if they are12 years of age and under andare not restrained or improperlyrestrained. Because children arelighter and weaker than adults,their risk of being injured fromdeployment is greater.
Consequently, we strongly re-commend that ALL children (in-cluding those in child seats andthose that have outgrown childrestraintdevices) sit in a REARseat properly restrained at alltimes in a child restraint deviceor in a seatbelt, whichever isappropriate for the child’s age,height and weight.
Always secure ALL types of childrestraint devices (including for-ward facing child seats) in one ofthe rear seating positions recom-mended in this Owner’s Manual.
According to accident statistics,children are safer when properly

Ahands-freemicrophoneorother accessory in such a loca-tion could be propelled throughthe cabin with great force by thecurtain airbag, or it could preventcorrect deployment of the curtainairbag. In either case, the resultcould be serious injuries.
WARNING
Do not hang coat hangers or otherhard or pointed objects on the coathooks. If such items were hangingon the coat hooks during deploy-ment of the SRS curtain airbags,they could cause serious injuries bycoming off the coat hooks and beingthrown through the cabin or by
preventing deployment of the cur-tain airbags.
Before hanging clothing on the coathooks, make sure there are no sharpobjects in the pockets. Hang cloth-ing directly on the coat hooks with-out using hangers.
WARNING
Do not put any kind of cover orclothes or other objects over eitherfront seatback and do not attachlabels or stickers to the front seatsurface on or near the SRS sideairbag. They could prevent properdeployment of the SRS side airbag,reducingprotection available to the
front seat’s occupant.
!Operation
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtainairbag can function only when the ignitionswitch is in the“ON”position.
The driver’s and front passenger’s SRSside airbags and SRS curtain airbagsdeploy independently of each other be-cause each has its own impact sensor.Therefore, they may not both deploy in thesame accident. Also, the SRS side airbagand SRS curtain airbag deploys indepen-dently of the driver’s and front passen-ger’s SRS frontal airbags in the steeringwheel and instrument panel.
An impact sensor, which senses impactforce, is located in each of the left and
