CAUTION
. Keep the belts free of polishes , oils , chemicals and particularly battery acid .

1-5 . Seatbelt extender

If the front seatbelts are not long enough to permit the tongue plate to engage with the seatbelt buckle , an optional seatbelt extender is available from your SUBARU dealer . When ordering an extender , only order one particularly designed for your vehicle . See your SUBARU dealer for assistance .
The extender adds approximately 8 inches ( 200 mm ) of length and it can be used for either the driver or front passenger seating position .
