The built-in child restraint may be cleaned with mild soap and lukewarm water. Do not use household cleaners. They may weaken the belts or damage plastic parts. Keep the built-in child restraint belts clean and dry. Clean the belts with only a mild soap and lukewarm water. Never bleach or dye the belts because this could seriously affect their strength. The removable pad is attached to the child restraint cushion and seatback with hook and loop fasteners (VelcroR). It is possible to remove the pad, hand wash it in cold water and dry it in the shade. Never bleach or iron the pad. Periodically inspect the belts, tongue plates, buckle, clip, retractor and anchorages of the built-in child restraint. If these parts are damaged and/or do not function properly, contact your authorized SUBARU dealer for replacement parts. *SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System airbag) *SRS: This stands for supplemental restraint system. This name is used because the airbag system supplements the vehicle's seatbelts. J Vehicle with driver's and front passenger's SRS airbags and lap/shoulder restraints D To obtain maximum protection in the event of an accident, the driver and all passengers in the vehicle should always wear seatbelts when the vehicle is moving. The SRS airbag is designed only as a supplement to the primary protection provided by the seatbelt. It does not do away with the need to fasten seatbelts. In combination with the seatbelts, it offers the best combined protection in case of a serious accident. Not wearing a seatbelt increases the chance of severe injury or death in a crash even when the car has the SRS airbag. 1-48 WARNING
