The warning light(s) for unfastened

seatbelt(s) will alternate between

flashing and steady illumination at

15-second intervals. The chime will

not sound.

y

At speeds higher than approxi-

mately 9 mph (15 km/h)

The warning light(s) for unfastened

seatbelt(s) will alternate between

flashing and steady illumination at

15-second intervals and the chime

will sound while the warning light(s)

is/are flashing.

y

If you unfasten and refasten the driv-

er’s seatbelt three times within six sec-

onds after turning ON the ignition

switch, the warning operation that fol-

lows the 6-second warning after turn-

ing ON the ignition switch is canceled.

When the ignition switch is turned ON

next time, however, the complete se-

quence of warning operations re-

sumes.

If there is no passenger on the front pas-

senger’s seat, the seatbelt warning device

for the front passenger’s seat will be deac-

tivated. The front passenger’s occupant

detection system monitors whether or not

there is a passenger on the front passen-

ger’s seat. Observe the following precau-

tions. Failure to do so may prevent the de-

vice from functioning correctly or cause

the device to fail.

y

Do not install any accessory such as a

table or TV onto the seatback.

y

Do not store a heavy load in the seat-

back pocket.

y

Do not allow the rear seat occupant to

place his/her hands or legs on the front

passenger’s seatback, or allow him/her to

pull the seatback.

If the seatbelt warning device for the front

passenger’s seat does not function cor-

rectly (e.g., it is activated even when the

front passenger’s seat is empty or it is de-

activated even when the front passenger

has not fastened his/her seatbelt), take

the following actions.

y

Ensure that no article is placed on the

seat other than a child restraint system

and its child occupant.

y

Ensure that there is no article left in the

seatback pocket.

If still the seatbelt warning device for front

passenger’s seat does not function cor-

rectly after taking relevant corrective ac-

tions described above, immediately con-

tact your SUBARU dealer for an inspec-

tion.

¡

SRS airbag system warn-

ing light

When the ignition switch is turned to the

“ON” position, the SRS airbag system

warning light will come on for approxi-

mately six seconds and go out. This

shows the SRS frontal airbag and SRS

side airbag and SRS curtain airbag and

seatbelt pretensioners are in normal oper-

ation.

If the warning light exhibits any of

the following conditions, there may

be a malfunction in the seatbelt pre-

tensioners and/or SRS airbag sys-

tem. Immediately take your vehicle

to your nearest SUBARU dealer to

have the system checked. Unless

checked and properly repaired, the

seatbelt pretensioners and/or SRS

airbags will operate improperly (e.g.

SRS airbags may inflate in a very mi-

nor collision or not inflate in a se-

vere collision), which may increase

the risk of injury.

y

Flashing or flickering of the warn-

ing light
