. All persons in the vehicle must fasten their seatbelts BEFORE the vehicle starts to move . Otherwise , the possibility of serious injury becomes greater in the event of a sudden stop or accident .
. All belts should fit snugly in order to provide full restraint . Loose fitting belts are not as effective in preventing or reducing injury .
. Each seatbelt is designed to support only one person . Never use a single belt for two or more persons – even children . Otherwise , in an accident , serious injury or death could result .
. Replace all seatbelt assemblies including retractors and attaching hardware worn by occupants of a vehicle that has been in a serious accident . The entire assembly should be replaced even if damage is not obvious .
. NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD

FACING CHILD RESTRAINT SYS- TEM ON THE FRONT PASSEN- GER ’ S SEAT . DOING SO RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE CHILD BY PLACING THE CHILD ’ S HEAD TOO CLOSE TO THE SRS AIRBAG .
. SUBARU strongly recommends that ALL infants and children ( including those in child restraint systems ) sit in the REAR seat properly restrained in a child restraint system or in a seatbelt , whichever is appropriate for the child ’ s age , height and weight . The SRS airbag deploys with considerable speed and force and can injure or even kill children , especially if they are not restrained or improperly restrained . Because children are lighter and weaker than adults , their risk of being injured from deployment is greater . According to accident statistics , children are safer when properly restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating positions . For instructions and precautions concerning child restraint systems , refer to “ Child Restraint Systems ” FP54 .
