This device complies with Part 18 of
the FCC Rules. This device may cause
interference. If this device causes interference, consult the nearest SUBARU
dealer. Also, for maintenance of the
system, consult the nearest SUBARU
dealer. A copy of the original declaration of conformity can be found in

! Conditions in which front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag is not
activated
The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag
will not be activated when any of the
following conditions are met regarding the
front passenger’s seat:
. The seat is empty.
. The seat is equipped with an appropriate child restraint system and an infant
is restrained in it. (See WARNING that
follows.)
. The front passenger’s occupant detection system is malfunctioning.
WARNING
NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FACING CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT
PASSENGER’S SEAT EVEN IF THE
FRONT PASSENGER’S SRS FRON-
TAL AIRBAG IS DEACTIVATED. Be
sure to install it in the REAR seat in
a correct manner. Also, it is strongly
recommended that any forward facing child seat or booster seat be
installed in the REAR seat, and that
even children who have outgrown a
child restraint system be also
seated in the REAR seat. This is
because children sitting in the front
passenger’s seat may be killed or
severely injured should the front
passenger’s SRS frontal airbag deploy. REAR seats are the safest
place for children.
CAUTION
When the front passenger’s seat is
occupied by an infant in an appropriate child restraint system, observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may interfere with
the proper operation of the occupant detection system, activating
the front passenger’s SRS frontal
airbag even though that seat is
occupied by the infant in the child
restraint system.
. Do not place any article (including electronic devices) on the
seat other than the infant in the
child restraint system.
. Do not place more than one
infant in the child restraint system.
! If the front passenger’s frontal
airbag ON indicator illuminates
and the OFF indicator turns off
even when an infant or a small
child is in a child restraint system (including booster seat)
1. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK”
(off) position.
2. Remove the child restraint system
from the seat.
3. By referring to the child restraint
manufacturer’s recommendations as well
as the child restraint system installation
procedures in “Child restraint systems”
F1-24, correctly install the child restraint
system.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON”
position and make sure that the front
passenger’s frontal airbag ON indicator
turns off and the OFF indicator illuminates.
If still the ON indicator remains illuminated
while the OFF indicator turns off, take the
following actions.
. Ensure that no article is placed on the
seat other than the child restraint system
