WARNING
lDo not attach anything to areas such as the doors, windshield, side windows, front or rear pillars, roof side rails and assist
grips.( With the exception of the speed limit label �P. 623)
lDo not hang coat hangers or other hard objects on the coat hooks. These items could become projectiles if the SRS curtain shield airbags deploy, possibly leading to death or serious injury.
lIf a vinyl cover is attached to the area where the SRS knee airbag deploys, be sure to remove it.
lDo not use seat accessories which cover the parts from which the SRS airbags deploy, as they may interfere with inflation of the SRS airbags. Such accessories may prevent the SRS airbags from deploying
correctly, may disable the system or cause the SRS airbags to inflate unintentionally, possibly resulting in death or serious injury.
lDo not strike or apply significant force to the SRS airbag system components, front doors or their surrounding area. Doing so may cause the SRS airbags to malfunction. lDo not touch any components of the SRS airbags immediately after the SRS airbags have deployed( inflated) as they may be hot.
lIf breathing becomes difficult after the SRS airbags have
deployed, open a door or window to allow fresh air in, or
leave the vehicle if it is safe to
do so. Wash off any residue as soon as possible to prevent skin
irritation.
lIf a part where an SRS airbag is
stored is damaged or cracked, have it replaced by your
SUBARU retailer.
lDo not place anything, such as
a cushion, on the front passenger’ s seat. Doing so will
disperse the passenger’ s weight, which prevents the sensor from detecting the passenger’ s weight properly. As a result, the SRS front airbags for the front passenger’ s seat may not deploy in the event of a collision.
