Automatic Locking Retractor/Emer-

gency Locking Retractor (ALR/ELR) seat-
belts

Lower anchorages (bars)

Upper anchorages (tether anchorages)

Some types of child restraint systems
might not be able to be secured firmly
due to projection of the seat cushion.
In this seating position, you should use
only a child restraint system that has a
bottom base that fits snugly against the
contours of the seat cushion and can be
securely retained using the seatbelt.

C: Rear seat, center seating position

The ALR/ELR seatbelt and an upper
anchorage (tether anchorage) are pro-
vided in this position.
Some types of child restraint systems
might not be able to be secured firmly
due to projection of the seat cushion.
In this seating position, you should use
only a child restraint system that has a
bottom base that fits snugly against the
contours of the seat cushion and can be
securely retained using the seatbelt.
Lower anchorages (bars) for window-side
seating positions may be used for a seat in
the center seating position if a child
restraint system manufacturer’s instruc-

tions permit and specify using anchors as
far apart as those in this vehicle.
If a child restraint system is not correctly
fixed in place (for example, if a child
restraint system can be moved more than
1 inch (2.5 cm) from side to side), you
should install the child restraint system in a
rear seat, window-side seating position.

WARNING

Even with advanced airbags, chil-

dren can be seriously injured by
the airbag. Place children in the
rear seat properly restrained at
all times. The SRS airbag deploys
with considerable speed and
force and can injure or even kill
children, especially if they are not
restrained or improperly re-
strained. Because children are
lighter and weaker than adults,
their risk of being injured from
deployment is greater.

For that reason, be sure to secure
ALL types of child restraint sys-
tem (including forward facing
child restraint systems) in the
REAR seats at all times. You
should choose a restraint device
which is appropriate for the
child’s age, height and weight.

According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating
positions than in the front seating
positions.

Do not use lower anchorages

(bars) for a seat in the center
seating position unless a child
restraint system manufacturer’s
instructions permit and specify
using anchors spaced as far
apart as those in this vehicle.

Do not connect two or more lower

hooks onto the same anchorage
(bar).

WARNING

S I N C E Y O U R V E H I C L E I S

EQUIPPED WITH A PASSEN-
GER’S SRS AIRBAG, NEVER IN-
STALL A CHILD RESTRAINT
SYSTEM IN THE FRONT PAS-
SENGER’S SEAT. DOING SO
RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH TO THE CHILD BY PLA-
CING THE CHILD’S HEAD TOO
CLOSE TO THE SRS AIRBAG.

Do not allow children to lean their

heads or other body parts against
the door of the vehicle, or the
areas around the door. Deploy-
ment of the SRS side and curtain
airbags could impact the child
resulting in death or serious
injury.

To secure the child restraint sys-

tem, be sure to comply with all
installation instructions provided
by the child restraint manufac-
turer. Not doing so could result in
death or serious injury to chil-
dren in a sudden stop or acci-
dent.

Choosing a child restraint
system

Choose a child restraint system that is
appropriate for the child’s age and size
(weight and height) in order to provide the
child with proper protection. The child
restraint system should meet all applicable
requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards for the United States or
of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
for Canada. It can be identified by looking
for the label on the child restraint system or
the manufacturer’s statement of compli-
ance in the document attached to the
system.
Also it is important for you to make sure
that the child restraint system is compa-
tible with the vehicle in which it will be
used.

Installing child restraint sys-
tems with ALR/ELR seatbelt

CAUTION

When you install a child restraint

system, follow the manufac-
turer’s instructions supplied with
it. After installing the child re-
straint system, check to ensure
that it is held securely in position.
If it is not held tight and secure,
the danger of your child suffering
personal injury in the event of an
accident may be increased.

When installing a child restraint

system in the rear center seating
position, set both seatbacks to
the original position. Otherwise,
the child restraint system cannot
be securely restrained, which
may result in death or serious
injuries in the event of sudden
stop, sudden steering maneuver
or an accident.

rear seating position and sit the child on it.
The child should sit well back on the
booster seat/cushion.
3. Run the lap and shoulder belt through
or around the booster seat/cushion and
the child following the instructions pro-
vided by its manufacturer. For booster
seat/cushion with a belt guide, use the
seatbelt through the belt guide.
4. Insert the tongue plate into the buckle
until you hear a click. Take care not to twist
the seatbelt.
Make sure the shoulder belt is positioned
across the center of child’s shoulder and
that the lap belt is positioned as low as
possible on the child’s hips.

5. To remove the booster seat/cushion,
press the release button on the seatbelt
buckle and allow the belt to retract.

WARNING

Never use a belt that is twisted or

reversed. In an accident, this can
increase the risk or severity of
injury to the child.

Never place the shoulder belt

under the child’s arm or behind
the child’s back. If an accident
occurs, this can increase the risk
or severity of injury to the child.

The seatbelt should fit snugly in

order to provide full restraint.
Loose fitting belts are not as
effective in preventing or redu-
cing injury.

Place the lap belt as low as

possible on the child’s hips. A
high-positioned lap belt will in-
crease the risk of sliding under
the lap belt and of the lap belt
sliding up over the abdomen, and
both can result in serious internal
injury or death.

Make sure the shoulder belt is

positioned across the center of
child’s shoulder. Placing the
shoulder belt over the neck may
result in neck injury during sud-
den braking or in a collision.

Installation of child restraint
systems by use of lower and
tether anchorages (LATCH)

Lower and tether anchorages

Some types of child restraint systems can
be installed on the rear seat of your vehicle
without use of the seatbelts. Such child
restraint systems are secured to the
designated anchorages provided on the
vehicle body. The lower and tether an-
chorages are sometimes referred to as the
LATCH system (

ower

nchors and

ethers for

ildren).

– CONTINUED –

Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags/Child restraint systems

1-31

(62,1)

Your vehicle is equipped with four lower
anchorages (bars) and three upper an-
chorages (tether anchorages) for accom-
modating such child restraint systems.

Lower anchorages

WARNING

Do not connect two or more lower
hooks onto the same anchorage
(bar).

Two lower anchorages (bars) are provided
for installing a child restraint system on the
rear seat window-side seating positions.
Lower anchorages (bars) for window-side
seating positions may be used for a seat in
the center seating position if a child
restraint system manufacturer’s instruc-
tions permit and specify using anchors as
far apart as those in this vehicle. Each
lower anchorage is located where the seat
cushion meets the seatback.

Tether anchorages

The tether anchorages (upper an-
chorages) are provided at the locations
shown in the above illustration. For details,
refer to “Top tether anchorages”

1-34.

To install a child restraint system
using lower and tether an-
chorages

To install a child restraint system using
lower and tether anchorages, perform the

forth and right and left to verify that it is held
securely in position.
9. To remove the child restraint system,
follow the reverse procedures of installa-
tion.

If you have any question concerning this
type of child restraint system, ask your
SUBARU dealer.

Top tether anchorages

Your vehicle is equipped with three top
tether anchorages so that a child restraint
system having a top tether can be installed
in the rear seat. When installing a child
restraint system using top tether, proceed
as follows, while observing the instructions
by the child restraint system manufacturer.

Since a top tether can provide additional
stability by offering another connection
between a child restraint system and the
vehicle, we recommend that you use a top
tether whenever one is required or avail-
able.

2. Tighten the top tether securely.

Please contact your SUBARU dealer if you
have any question regarding the installa-
tion of a child restraint system.

SRS airbag (Supplemental
Restraint System airbag)

Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
name is used because the airbag system
supplements the vehicle’s seatbelts.

This vehicle is equipped with a supple-
mental restraint system which consists of
the following airbags:

Driver’s and front passenger’s

frontal

airbags

Driver’s and front passenger’s

side

airbags

Curtain airbags

(for driver, front pas-

senger, and window-side rear passen-
gers)

Knee airbag

for driver

These SRS airbags are designed only
as a supplement to the primary protec-
tion provided by the seatbelt.

The system also controls front seatbelt
pretensioners. For operation instructions
and precautions concerning the seatbelt
pretensioner, refer to “Front seatbelt pre-
tensioners”

1-17.

(66,1)

General precautions regard-
ing SRS airbag system

WARNING

To obtain maximum protection in

the event of an accident, the
driver and all passengers must
always wear seatbelts when in
the vehicle. The SRS airbag is
designed only to be a supplement
to the primary protection pro-
vided by the seatbelt. It does not
eliminate the need to fasten seat-
belts. In combination with the
seatbelts, it offers the best pro-
tection in case of a serious acci-
dent.

Not wearing a seatbelt increases
the chance of severe injury or
death in a crash even when the
vehicle has the SRS airbag sys-
tem.

For instructions and precautions
concerning the seatbelt system,
refer to “Seatbelts”

1-12.

The SRS side airbags and SRS

curtain airbags are designed only
to be a supplement to the primary
protection provided by the seat-
belt. They do not eliminate the
need to fasten seatbelts. It is also

important to wear a seatbelt to
help avoid injuries that can result
when an occupant is not seated
in a proper upright position.

WARNING

The SRS airbags deploy with con-
siderable speed and force. Occu-
pants who are not seated in proper
upright position when the SRS air-
bag deploys could suffer serious
injury. Because the SRS airbag
needs enough space for deploy-
ment, 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 as
possible and sit upright and well
back in the seat.

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 de-
ploying rapidly in the event of a
side impact collision. However,
the force of SRS side airbag
deployment can injure an occu-
pant whose body is too close to
an SRS airbag.

Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags/SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System airbag)

1-36

(67,1)

Since your vehicle is equipped

with SRS curtain airbags, do not
sit or lean close to the front or
rear door on either side. Do not
put body parts out of the window.
The SRS curtain airbags on both
sides of the cabin are stored in
the roof side (between the front
pillar and a point behind the rear
quarter glass), and they provide
protection by deploying rapidly
in the event of a side impact,
rollover or an offset frontal colli-
sion. However, the force of its
deployment can injure an occu-
pant whose body is too close to
an SRS airbag.

Do not sit or lean unnecessarily

close to the SRS airbag. Because
the SRS airbag deploys with
considerable speed and force to
protect in high speed collisions,
the force of an airbag can injure
an occupant whose body is too
close to SRS airbag.

It is also important to wear seat-
belts to help avoid injuries that
can result when the SRS airbag
contacts an occupant not in their
proper position.

Even when properly positioned,
there remains a possibility that

an occupant may suffer minor
injury, such as abrasions and
bruises to the face or arms,
because of the SRS airbag de-
ployment force.

WARNING

Keep arms away from either front

door or its internal trim. They
could be injured in the event of
SRS side airbag deployment.

Do not place any objects over or

near the SRS airbag cover or
between you and the SRS airbag.
If the SRS airbag deploys, these
objects could interfere with its
proper operation and could be

propelled inside the vehicle,
causing injury.

CAUTION

When the SRS airbag deploys,

some smoke will be released.
This smoke could cause breath-
ing problems for people with a
history of asthma or other breath-
ing trouble. If you or your pas-
sengers have breathing pro-
blems after SRS airbag deploys,
get fresh air promptly.

A deploying SRS airbag releases

hot gas. Occupants could get
burned if they come into direct
contact with the hot gas.

NOTE

When you sell your vehicle, we urge

you to inform the buyer that the vehicle
is equipped with SRS airbags. Also,
notify the buyer of the applicable sec-
tion of this Owner’s Manual.

(68,1)

If the SRS airbag deploys, fuel

supply will be cut off to reduce the risk
of fire caused by leaking fuel. For
details about restarting of the engine,
refer to “If your vehicle is involved in an
accident”

9-20.

General precautions regard-
ing SRS airbag system for
accessories and any objects

Do not put any objects over/under the
following parts.

Over the steering wheel pad

Over the dashboard

Under the driver’s side of the instrument
panel

WARNING

Do not put any objects (including

straps or cords) over the steering
wheel pad, column cover, or
dashboard.

– These objects could be en-

tangled with the steering
wheel, preventing the SRS
frontal airbag, etc. from oper-
ating properly.

– If the SRS frontal airbag de-

ploys, these objects could be
propelled inside the vehicle,
causing injury.

Do not put any objects under the

driver’s side of the instrument
panel. If the SRS knee airbag

deploys, those objects could in-
terfere with its proper operation
and could be propelled inside the
vehicle, causing injury.

The key must not be attached to

heavy, sharp or hard acces-
sories, or another key. If the SRS
knee airbag deploys, those ob-
jects could interfere with its
proper operation and could be
propelled inside the vehicle and
cause injury.

Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags/SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System airbag)

1-38

(69,1)

WARNING

Do not attach accessories to the
windshield, or fit an extra-wide mir-
ror over the inside rear view mirror. If
the SRS airbag deploys, those ob-
jects could become projectiles that
could seriously injure vehicle occu-
pants.

WARNING

Do not attach accessories to the

door trim or near either SRS side
airbags and do not place objects
near the SRS side airbags. In the
event of SRS side airbag deploy-
ment, they could be propelled
dangerously toward the vehicle’s
occupants and cause injuries.

Do not attach a hands-free micro-

phone or any other accessory to
a front pillar, a center pillar, a rear
pillar, the windshield, a side win-
dow, an assist grip, or any other
cabin surface that would be near
a deploying SRS curtain airbag. A
hands-free microphone or other
accessory in such a location
could be propelled through the
cabin with great force by the
curtain airbag, or it could prevent
correct deployment of the curtain
airbag. In either case, the result
could be serious injuries.

WARNING

Do not hang coat hangers or other
hard or pointed objects on the coat
hooks. If such items were hanging
on the coat hooks during deploy-
ment 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 cur-
tain airbags.

Before hanging clothing on the coat
hooks, make sure there are no sharp
objects in the pockets. Hang cloth-
ing directly on the coat hooks with-
out using hangers.
