WARNING
lMake sure the“ AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is not illuminated when using the seat belt extender for the front passenger
seat. If the“ AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is illuminated, disconnect the extender tongue from
the seat belt buckle, and reconnect the seat belt. Reconnect
the seat belt extender after making sure the“ AIR BAG ON”
indicator light is illuminated. If
you use the seat belt extender while the“ AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is illuminated, the SRS airbags for the front passenger will not activate, which could cause death or serious injury in the event of a collision.
lDo not apply a heavy load to the front passenger seat or equipment( e. g. seatback pocket).
lDo not put weight on the front passenger seat by putting your hands or feet on the front passenger seat seatback from the rear passenger seat.
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. 50)
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.
