1. Push the button on the buckle.
2. Retract the seatbelt slowly to prevent it from getting tangled or twisted.
Before closing the door, make sure that the belts are retracted properly to avoid catching the belt webbing in the door.
& Seatbelt Maintenance s01ae07
To clean the seatbelts, use a mild soap and lukewarm water. Never bleach or dye the belts because this could seriously affect their strength.
Inspect the seatbelts and attachments including the webbing and all hardware periodically for cracks, cuts, gashes, tears, damage, loose bolts or worn areas. Replace the seatbelts even if only minor damage is found.
CAUTION
. Keep the belts free of polishes, oils, chemicals and particularly battery acid.
. Never attempt to make modifications or changes that will prevent the seatbelt from operating properly.
1-5. Seatbelt Extender
s01ai
If the front seatbelts are not long enough to permit the tongue plate to engage with the seatbelt buckle, an optional seatbelt extender is available from your SUBARU dealer. When ordering an extender, only order one particularly designed for your vehicle. See your SUBARU dealer for assistance.

Seat, Seatbelt and SRS Airbags
The extender adds approximately 8 inches( 200 mm) of length and it can be used for either the driver or front passenger seating position.
For the safety of others, the extender should be removed after each use, especially if the next person using the seatbelt does not need one.
