NOTE
When a child who has outgrown a child restraint system or a small adult is seated in the front passenger’ s seat, the SUBARU advanced frontal airbag system may or may not activate the front passenger’ s SRS frontal airbag depending on the occupant’ s seating posture. Children should always wear a seatbelt when sitting in the seat irrespective of whether the airbag is deactivated or activated. If the front passenger’ s SRS frontal airbag is activated( the ON indicator light remains illuminated while the OFF indicator light turns off), take the following action.
. Ensure that no article is placed on the seat other than the occupant.
If the ON indicator light still remains illuminated while the OFF indicator light turns off despite the fact that the actions noted above have been taken, seat the child in the rear seat and immediately contact your SUBARU dealer for an inspection. Even if the system has passed the dealer inspection, it is recommended that on subsequent trips the child always take the rear seat.
