seatbelt to help avoid injuries
that can result when the SRS
airbag contacts an occupant not
in proper position such as one
thrown forward during pre-acci-
dent braking.

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 be-
cause of the SRS airbag deploy-
ment force.

WARNING

.

Do not rest your arm on either

front door or its internal trim. You

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 in this Owner’s Manual.
.

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” FP461.

WARNING

.

Do not put any objects (including

straps or cord) 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.

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

SRS Airbag (Supplemental Restraint System Airbag)

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
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 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.

WARNING

.

Do not put any kind of clothes or

other objects over the front pas-
senger’s seatback and do not
attach labels or stickers to the

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 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 nor-
mally if the seat cover is not
installed correctly.

General Precautions regard-
ing SRS Airbag System and
Children

WARNING

Seat children in the rear seat prop-
erly 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
restrained. Because children are
lighter and weaker than adults, their
risk of being injured from deploy-
ment is greater.

For that reason, we strongly recom-
mend that ALL children (including
those in child restraint systems) sit

in the REAR seat properly restrained
at all times in a child restraint device
or in a seatbelt, whichever is appro-
priate for the child’s age, height and
weight.

Secure ALL types of child restraint
systems (including forward facing
child restraint system) in the REAR
seats at all times.

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

For instructions and precautions
concerning the child restraint sys-
tem, refer to “Child Restraint Sys-
tems” FP57.

WARNING

NEVER INSTALL A CHILD RE-
STRAINT SYSTEM IN THE FRONT
SEAT. DOING SO RISKS SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH TO THE CHILD
BY PLACING THE CHILD’S HEAD
TOO CLOSE TO THE SRS AIRBAG.

WARNING

Never allow a child to stand up or
kneel on the front passenger’s seat.
The SRS airbag deploys with con-
siderable force and can injure or
even kill the child.

SRS Airbag (Supplemental Restraint System Airbag)

(83,1)

北米Model "A2570BE-A" EDITED: 2019/ 5/ 24

WARNING

Never hold a child on your lap or in
your arms. The SRS airbag deploys
with considerable force and can
injure or even kill the child.

WARNING

.

Never allow a child to do the

following.

– Kneel on any passenger’s seat

facing the side window

– Wrap his/her arms around the

front seat seatback

– Put his/her head, arms or

other parts of the body out of
the window

In the event of an accident, the

force of SRS side airbag and/or
SRS curtain airbag deployment
could injure the child seriously
because his/her head, arms or
other parts of the body are too
close to the SRS side airbag and/
or SRS curtain airbag.

.

Since your vehicle is also
equipped with a front passen-
ger’s SRS frontal airbag, children
should be placed in the rear seat
anyway and should be properly
restrained at all times.

SUBARU Advanced Frontal
Airbag System, SRS Seat
Cushion Airbag, SRS Side
Airbag and SRS Curtain Air-
bag

This vehicle is equipped with a SUBARU
advanced frontal airbag system that com-
plies 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 de-
ployment force of the driver’s SRS frontal
airbag at the time of deployment as well as
whether or not to activate the front
passenger’s SRS frontal airbag and, if
activated, the deployment force of the SRS

frontal airbag at the time of deployment.

This vehicle has warning labels on the
driver’s and front passenger’s sun visors
beginning with the phrase “EVEN WITH
ADVANCED AIR BAGS” and a tag at-
tached to the glove box lid beginning with
the phrase “Even with Advanced Air
Bags”. Make sure that you carefully read
the instructions on the warning labels and
tag.
Always wear your seatbelt. The SUBARU
advanced frontal airbag system is a
supplemental restraint system and must
be used in combination with a seatbelt. All
occupants should wear a seatbelt or be
seated in an appropriate child restraint
system.

This vehicle is equipped with a SUBARU
SRS curtain airbag system that complies

with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard (FMVSS) No. 226.

For the locations of the SRS airbags, refer
to “Components” FP82.

In a moderate to severe frontal collision,
the following components deploy.
.

SRS frontal airbag for driver

.

SRS frontal airbag for front passenger

.

SRS seat cushion airbags for front

passenger
.

SRS curtain airbag*

1

.

SRS knee airbag for driver

*1: When an offset frontal collision that is severe

enough to deploy the front airbag occurs.

These components supplement the seat-
belts by reducing the impact to the
occupant’s head, chest and knees.

In a moderate to severe side impact
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 to the occupant’s chest and
waist.

In a moderate to severe side impact
collision, the SRS curtain airbag on the
impacted side of the vehicle deploys
between the occupant and the side win-

dow and supplements the seatbelt by
reducing the impact to the occupant’s
head.

NOTE

The SRS side airbag and seatbelt pre-
tensioner are not controlled by the
SUBARU advanced frontal airbag sys-
tem.

!

Driver’s SRS frontal airbag

The driver’s SRS frontal airbag uses a dual
stage inflator. The inflator operates in
different ways depending on the severity
of impact.

SRS airbag system warning light

Have the system inspected by your
SUBARU dealer immediately if the SRS
airbag system warning light illuminates.

!

Front passenger’s SRS frontal air-
bag

The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag
uses a dual stage inflator actuator. The
inflator operates in different ways depend-
ing on the severity of impact.

1)

Occupant detection sensors

The occupant detection system sensors
are installed between the seat and seat
rails, and monitor the physique and pos-
ture of the front passenger. Using this
information, the occupant detection sys-
tem determines whether the front passen-
ger’s SRS frontal airbag should be de-
ployed or not.

The occupant detection system may not
inflate the front passenger’s SRS frontal
airbag even when the driver’s SRS frontal

airbag deploys. This is normal. In this
case, although the front passenger’s SRS
frontal airbag does not operate, the front
passenger’s seatbelt pretensioner oper-
ates with the driver’s seatbelt preten-
sioner. For details about the seatbelt
pretensioner, refer to “Seatbelt Preten-
sioners” FP54.

CAUTION

Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may prevent the
SUBARU advanced frontal airbag
system from functioning correctly
or cause the system to fail.

.

Do not apply any strong impact to

the front passenger’s seat such
as by kicking.

.

Do not let rear passengers rest

their feet between the front seat-
back and seat cushion.

.

Do not spill liquid on the front

passenger’s seat. If liquid is
spilled, wipe it off immediately.

.

Do not remove or disassemble

the front passenger’s seat.

.

Do not install any accessory

(such as an audio amplifier) other
than a genuine SUBARU acces-
sory under the front passenger’s
