When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, the SRS airbag system warning light will come on for approximately six seconds and go out. This shows the SRS airbag and SRS side airbag (if equipped) and seatbelt pretensioners are in normal operation. If the warning light exhibits any of the following conditions, there may be a malfunction in the seatbelt pretensioners and/or SRS airbag system. 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 airbag will not operate properly in the event of a collision, which may increase the risk of injury.
