If the front passenger’s seat cushion is
wet, this may adversely affect the ability of
the system to determine deployment. If
the seat cushion is wet, the front passenger should stop sitting on the front
passenger’s seat. Wipe off liquid from
the seat immediately, let the seat dry
naturally and then check the SRS airbag
system warning light as follows.
. If the SRS airbag system warning light
illuminates, keep the seat dry until the
warning light turns off. If the SRS airbag
system warning light stays on even when
the seat has dried, do not allow anyone to

sit on the front passenger’s seat and have
the system checked by your SUBARU
dealer.
. If the SRS airbag system warning light
does not illuminate, check that the front
passenger’s frontal airbag ON and OFF
indicators work properly. If the indicators
do not work properly, do not allow anyone
to sit on the front passenger’s seat and
have the system checked by your
SUBARU dealer.
Also, if luggage or electronic devices are
placed on the front passenger’s seat, this
may adversely affect the ability of the
system to determine deployment. This
may prevent the front passenger’s frontal
airbag ON and OFF indicators from working properly. Check that the indicators
work properly.
When the OFF indicator turns off and the
ON indicator illuminates, the front passenger’s frontal airbag may deploy during a
collision. Remove luggage and electronic
devices from the front passenger’s seat.

CAUTION
Electrical devices, such as cell
phones, laptops, portable music
players, or electronic games, especially when connected to the accessory power outlet and placed on the

1-41

front passenger’s seat or used by
the person sitting in the front passenger’s seat, may affect the operation of the occupant detection system. If the occupant detection system warning light illuminates or
operates erratically when using an
electronic device in the vehicle, at
first try to relocate that device to
avoid it creating any interference. If
the device continues to cause interference, the use of that device in the
vehicle should be discontinued.

NOTE

the FCC Rules. This device may cause
interference. If this device causes interference, consult the nearest SUBARU
