SRS Airbag (Supplemental Restraint System Airbag)
front passenger’s seat surface on
or near the SRS side airbag. They
could prevent proper deployment
of the SRS side airbag, reducing
protection available to the front
passenger’s seat’s occupant.
. Do not install a seat cover unless
it is a genuine SUBARU seat
cover exclusively designed for
use with the SRS airbag. Even
when using a genuine SUBARU
seat cover, the SRS side airbag
system may not function normally
if the seat cover is not
installed correctly.
& General Precautions regarding
SRS Airbag System and
Children
s01ah14
WARNING
Seat children in the rear seat properly
restrained at all times. 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.
For that reason, we strongly recommend
that ALL children (including
those in child restraint systems) sit
in the REAR seat properly restrained
at all times in a child restraint device
or in a seatbelt, whichever is appropriate
for the child’s age, height and
weight.
Secure ALL types of child restraint
systems (including forward facing
child restraint system) in the REAR
seats at all times.
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 the child restraint system,
refer to “Child Restraint Systems”
