Seat, seat belt and SRS AIRBAG J System servicing D When discarding an airbag module or scrapping the entire car damaged by a collision, consult your SUBARU dealer. D The SRS AIRBAG has no user-serviceable parts. Tampering with or disconnecting the system's wiring could result in accidental inflation of the airbag or could make the system inoperative, which may result in serious injury. The wiring harnesses of the SRS AIRBAG system 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 SRS AIRBAG system. For required servicing of the SRS AIRBAG, see your nearest SUBARU dealer. WARNING CAUTION The SRS AIRBAG control module including the impact sensors is located under the center console. If you need service or repair in those area or near the steering wheel and column, we recommend that you have an authorized SUBARU dealer perform the work. To ensure its long-term reliability, the SRS AIRBAG must be inspected by a SUBARU dealer ten years after the date of manufacture, which is shown on the certification plate attached to the driver's jamb. NOTE D If the front part of the vehicle was involved in an accident not of the extent to cause the SRS AIRBAGs to deploy, contact your SUBARU dealer as soon as possible. D If the pad section of the steering wheel or front passenger's SRS AIRBAG cover is scratched, cracked, or otherwise damaged, contact your SUBARU dealer as soon as possible. - CONTINUED - 2-37
