SRS Airbag ( Supplemental Restraint System Airbag )
WARNING
Do not hang coat hangers or other hard or pointed objects on the coat hook . If such items were hanging on the coat hooks during deployment of the SRS curtain airbags , they could cause serious injuries by coming off the coat hooks and being thrown through the cabin or by preventing deployment of the curtain airbags .
Before hanging clothing on the coat hooks , make sure there are no sharp objects in the pockets . Hang clothing directly on the coat hooks without using hangers .
WARNING
. Do not put any kind of clothes or other objects over the driver ’ s seat and front passenger ’ s seatback and do not attach labels or stickers to the driver ’ s seat and 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 driver ’ s seat and 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
