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.
