● Pretensioners are designed to function on a one-time-only basis. In the
event that a pretensioner is activated, both the driver’s and front passenger’s seatbelt retractor assemblies must be replaced only by SUBARU
dealer. When replacing seatbelt retractor assemblies for the front seating
positions, use only genuine SUBARU parts equipped with a load limiter.
● If either front seatbelt does not retract or cannot be pulled out due to a
malfunction or activation of the pretensioner, contact your SUBARU
dealer as soon as possible.
● If the front seatbelt retractor assembly or surrounding area has been
damaged, contact your SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.
● When you sell your vehicle, we urge you to explain to the buyer that it
has seatbelt pretensioners by alerting the buyer to the contents of this
section.
■ Replacing the belt after the pretensioner has been activated
If the vehicle is involved in multiple collisions, the pretensioner will activate
for the first collision, but will not activate for the second or subsequent collisions.
