Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags

& SUBARU advanced frontal
airbag system, SRS side airbag and SRS curtain airbag
Your vehicle is equipped with a SUBARU
advanced frontal airbag system that complies with the new advanced frontal airbag
requirements in the amended Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
No. 208.
The SUBARU advanced frontal airbag
system automatically determines the deployment force of the driver’s SRS frontal
airbag at the time of deployment as well as

seated in an appropriate child restraint
system.
For the locations of the driver’s SRS
frontal airbag, front passenger’s SRS
frontal airbag, SRS side airbag and SRS

driver’s and front passenger’s head and
chest.

collision, the SRS side airbag on the
impacted side of the vehicle deploys
between the occupant and the door panel
and supplements the seatbelt by reducing
the impact on the occupant’s chest and
waist.
In a moderate to severe side impact
collision, the SRS curtain airbag on the
