WARNING
The SRS airbags deploy with considerable speed and force . Occupants who are not seated in proper upright position when the SRS airbag deploys could suffer serious injury . Because the SRS airbag needs enough space for deployment , the driver should always sit upright and back in the seat as far from the steering wheel as practical while still maintaining full vehicle control , and the front passenger should move the seat as far back
WARNING
. If you notice any damage or cracks where an SRS airbag is stored , have it replaced by an authorized SUBARU dealer .
. Do not strike the area around SRS Airbag System component parts or subject the area to impact .
WARNING
. Do not sit or lean close to either front door . The SRS side airbags are stored in both front seat seatbacks next to the door , and they provide protection by deploying rapidly in the event of a side impact collision . However , the force of SRS side airbag deployment can injure an occupant whose body is too close to an SRS airbag .
