Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags B System servicing D When discarding a seatbelt retractor assembly or scrapping the entire car damaged by a collision, consult your SUBARU dealer. D Tampering with or disconnecting the system's wiring could result in accidental activation of the seatbelt pretensioner and/or airbag or could make the system inoperative, which may result in serious injury. The wiring harnesses of the seatbelt pretensioner and SRS airbag systems are covered with yellow insulation and the connectors of the system are yellow for easy identification. Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the seatbelt pretensioner and airbag systems. For required servicing of the seatbelt pretensioner, see your nearest SUBARU dealer. WARNING CAUTION The front sub sensors are located in both front fenders and the airbag control module including the impact sensors is located under the center console. If you need service or repair in those areas or near the front seatbelt retractors, we recommend that you have an authorized SUBARU dealer perform the work. NOTE If the front part of the vehicle is damaged in an accident to the extent that the seatbelt pretensioner does not operate, contact your SUBARU dealer as soon as possible. B Precautions against vehicle modification CAUTION Do not perform any of the following modifications. Such modifications can interfere with proper operation of the seatbelt pertensioners. - CONTINUED - 1-29
