. 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 should
be replaced only by an authorized
SUBARU dealer. When replacing seatbelt retractor assemblies, use only
genuine SUBARU parts.
. 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.
WARNING
. To obtain maximum protection,
the occupants should sit in an
upright position with their seatbelts properly fastened. Refer to
“Seatbelts” F1-16.
. Do not modify, remove or strike
the front seatbelt retractor assemblies or surrounding area.
This could result in accidental
activation of the seatbelt pretensioners or could make the system inoperative, possibly resulting in serious injury. Seatbelt
pretensioners have no user-serviceable parts. For required servicing of front seatbelt retractors
equipped with seatbelt pretensioners, consult your SUBARU
dealer.
. When discarding front seatbelt
retractor assemblies or scrapping the entire vehicle due to
collision damage or for other
reasons, consult your SUBARU
dealer.
