WARNING
lDo not let a rear passenger lift the front passenger seat with their feet or press on the seatback with their legs.
lDo not put objects under the front passenger seat.
lDo not recline the front passenger seatback so far that it
touches a rear seat. This may cause the“ AIR BAG OFF” indicator light to be illuminated,
which indicates that the SRS airbags for the front passenger
will not activate in the event of a severe accident. If the seatback touches the rear seat, return the seatback to a position where it does not touch the rear seat. Keep the front passenger seatback as upright as possible when the vehicle is moving. Reclining the seatback excessively may lessen the effectiveness of the seat belt system.
lIf an adult sits in the front passenger seat, the“ AIR BAG ON” indicator light is illuminated. If the“ AIR BAG OFF” indicator is illuminated, ask the passenger
to sit up straight, well back in the seat, feet on the floor, and with the seat belt worn correctly.
If the“ AIR BAG OFF” indicator still remains illuminated, either ask the passenger to move to
the rear seat, or if that is not possible, move the front passenger seat fully rearward.
lWhen it is unavoidable to install a forward-facing child restraint system on the front passenger seat, install the child restraint
system on the front passenger seat in the proper order.( �P. 47)
lDo not modify or remove the front seats. lDo not kick the front passenger seat or subject it to severe impact. Otherwise, the SRS warning light may come on to indicate a malfunction of the front passenger occupant classification system. In this case, contact your SUBARU retailer
immediately.
lChild restraint systems installed
on the rear seat should not contact the front seatbacks.
lDo not use a seat accessory, such as a cushion and seat
cover, that covers the seat cushion surface.
lDo not modify or replace the upholstery of the front seat.
