Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
NOTE
The driver’s SRS side airbag, SRS
curtain airbag and seatbelt pretensioner are not controlled by the
SUBARU advanced frontal airbag system.
WARNING
Do not attach accessories to the
windshield, or fit an extra-wide mirror over the rear view mirror. If the
SRS airbag deploys, those objects
could become projectiles that could
seriously injure vehicle occupants.
! Driver’s SRS frontal airbag
The driver’s SRS frontal airbag uses a
dual stage inflator. The inflator operates in
different ways depending on the severity
of impact.
Have the system inspected by your
SUBARU dealer immediately if the SRS
airbag system warning light illuminates.
! Front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag
The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag
uses a dual stage inflator. The inflator
operates in different ways depending on
the severity of impact.
The total load on the seat is monitored by
the passenger’s occupant detection system weight sensor under the seat.
Using the total seat load and seatbelt
buckle switch, the occupant detection
system determines whether the front
passenger’s SRS frontal airbag should or
should not be inflated.
The occupant detection system may not
inflate the front passenger’s SRS frontal
airbag even when the driver’s SRS frontal
airbag deploys. This is normal.
Observe the following precautions. Failure
to do so may prevent the SUBARU
advanced frontal airbag system from
functioning correctly or cause the system
to fail.
. Do not apply any strong impact to the
front passenger’s seat such as by kicking.
1-45
. Do not spill liquid on the front passenger’s seat. If liquid is spilled, wipe it off
immediately.
. Do not remove or disassemble t
