1-7. Safety information
G Front passenger’s seat
Do not install a child restraint system (including a booster cushion) due to
the hazard to children posed by the passenger’s airbag.
G Rear seat seating positions
• Automatic/Emergency Locking Retractor (ALR/ELR) seatbelts
• ISOFIX anchor bars
• Top tether anchorages
Some types of child restraints might not be able to be secured firmly due to
projection of the seat cushion.
In this seating position, you should use only a child restraint system that
has a bottom base that fits snugly against the contours of the seat cushion
and can be securely retained using the seatbelt.
WARNING
I Child restraint precautions
G For effective protection in automobile accidents and sudden stops, a child
must be properly restrained, using a seatbelt or child restraint system
depending on the age and size of the child. Holding a child in your arms is
not a substitute for a child restraint system. In an accident, the child can be
crushed against the windshield, or between you and the vehicle's interior.
G SUBARU strongly urges the use of a proper child restraint system that
conforms to the size of the child, installed on the rear seat. According to
accident statistics, the child is safer when properly restrained in the rear
seat than in the front seat.
G Never install a rear-facing child restraint system on the front passenger
seat even if the “AIR BAG OFF” indicator light is illuminated. In the event
of an accident, the force of the rapid inflation of the front passenger airbag
can cause death or serious injury to the child if the rear-facing child
restraint system is installed on the front passenger seat.
