Safety precautions when driving
SEATBELT AND SRS AIRBAG
WARNING
D All persons in the vehicle should fasten their seatbelts BE-
FORE the vehicle starts to move. Otherwise, the possibility of se-
rious injury becomes greater in the event of a sudden stop or ac-
cident.
D To obtain maximum protection in the event of an accident, the
driver and all passengers in the vehicle should always wear seat-
belts when the vehicle is moving. The SRS (Supplemental
Restraint System) airbag does not do away with the need to fas-
ten seatbelts. In combination with the seatbelts, it offers the best
combined protection in case of a serious accident.
Not wearing a seatbelt increases the chance of severe injury or
death in a crash even when the car has the SRS airbag.
D The SRS airbags deploy with considerable speed and force.
Occupants who are out of proper position when the SRS airbag

deploys could suffer very serious injuries. Because the SRS air-
bag needs enough space for deployment, the driver should al-
ways sit upright and well 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.
Carefully read the sections Seat, seatbelts and SRS airbag in chapter 1
of this owner’s manual for instructions and precautions concerning the
seatbelt system and SRS airbag system.
CHILD SAFETY
WARNING
D Never hold a child on your lap or in your arms while the ve-
hicle is moving. The passenger cannot protect the child from in-
jury in a collision, because the child will be caught between the
passenger and objects inside the vehicle.
D While riding in the vehicle, infants and small children should
always be placed in the REAR seat in an infant or child restraint
system which is appropriate for the child’s age, height and
weight. If a child is too big for a child restraint system, the child
should sit in the REAR seat and be restrained using the seatbelts.
According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating
positions. Never allow a child to stand up or kneel on the seat.
D Put children aged 12 and under in the REAR seat properly re-
strained at all times in a child restraint device or in a seatbelt. The
SRS airbag deploys with considerable speed and force and can
injure or even kill children, especially if they are 12 years of age
and under and are not restrained or improperly restrained. Be-
cause children are lighter and weaker than adults, their risk being
injured from deployment is greater.
D NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FACING CHILD SAFETY SEAT
IN THE FRONT SEAT. DOING SO RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR
DEATH TO THE CHILD BY PLACING THE CHILD’S HEAD TOO
Legacy U.S.A..(ENG.)A2280BE– A
vi
CLOSE TO THE SRS AIRBAG.
D Always use the child safety locks whenever a child rides in the
rear seat. Serious injury could result if a child accidentally
opened the door and fell out. Refer to the Door locks section in
chapter 2.
D Always lock the passengers windows using the lock switch
when children are riding in the vehicle. Failure to follow this pro-
cedure could result in injury to a child operating the power win-
dow. Refer to the “ Power windows section in chapter 2.
D Never leave unattended children in the vehicle. They could ac-
cidentally injure themselves or others through inadvertent opera-
tion of the vehicle. Also, on hot or sunny days, temperature in a
closed vehicle could quickly become high enough to cause se-
vere or possibly fatal injuries to them.
Carefully read the sections , Child restraint systems SRS airbag , and
Seatbelts” in chapter 1 of this owner s manual for instructions and pre-
cautions concerning the child restraint system, seatbelt system and SRS
airbag system.
ENGINE EXHAUST GAS (CARBON MONOXIDE)
WARNING
D Never inhale engine exhaust gas. Engine exhaust gas contains
carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas which is danger-
ous, or even lethal, if inhaled.
D Always properly maintain the engine exhaust system to pre-
vent engine exhaust gas from entering the vehicle.
D Never run the engine in a closed space, such as a garage, ex-
cept for the brief time needed to drive the vehicle in or out of it.
D Avoid remaining in a parked vehicle for a lengthy time while
the engine is running. If that is unavoidable, then use the ventila-
tion fan to force fresh air into the vehicle.
D Always keep the front ventilator inlet grille free from snow,
leaves or other obstructions to ensure that the ventilation system
always works properly.
Legacy U.S.A..(ENG.)A2280BE– A
vii
CONTINUED
D If at any time you suspect that exhaust fumes are entering the
vehicle, have the problem checked and corrected as soon as pos-
sible. If you must drive under these conditions, drive only with all
windows fully open.
D Keep the trunk lid or rear gate closed while driving to prevent
exhaust gas from entering the vehicle.
DRINKING AND DRIVING
WARNING
Drinking and then driving is very dangerous. Alcohol in the
bloodstream delays your reaction and impairs your perception,
judgment and attentiveness. If you drive after drinking even if
you drink just a little – it will increase the risk of being involved in
a serious or fatal accident, injuring or killing yourself, your pas-
sengers and others. In addition, if you are injured in the accident,
alcohol may increase the severity of that injury.
Please don t drink and drive.
Drunken driving is one of the most frequent causes of accidents. Since
alcohol affects all people differently, you may have consumed too much
alcohol to drive safely even if the level of alcohol in your blood is below
the legal limit. The safest thing you can do is never drink and drive. How-
ever if you have no choice but to drive, stop drinking and sober up com-
pletely before getting behind the wheel.
DRUGS AND DRIVING
WARNING
There are some drugs (over the counter and prescription) that
can delay your reaction time and impair your perception, judg-
ment and attentiveness. If you drive after taking them, it may in-
crease your, your passengers’ and other persons risk of being
involved in a serious or fatal accident.
Legacy U.S.A..(ENG.)A2280BE– A
viii
If you are taking any drugs, check with your doctor or pharmacist or read
the literature that accompanies the medication to determine if the drug
you are taking can impair your driving ability. Do not drive after taking
any medications that can make you drowsy or otherwise affect your abil-
ity to safely operate a motor vehicle. If you have a medical condition that
requires you to take drugs, please consult with your doctor.
Never drive if you are under the influence of any illicit mind-altering
drugs. For your own health and well-being, we urge you not to take ille-
gal drugs in the first place and to seek treatment if you are addicted to
those drugs.
DRIVING WHEN TIRED OR SLEEPY
WARNING
When you are tired or sleepy, your reaction will be delayed and
your perception, judgment and attentiveness will be impaired. If
you drive when tired or sleepy, your, your passengers’ and other
persons’ chances of being involved in a serious accident may in-
crease.
Please do not continue to drive but instead find a safe place to rest if you
are tired or sleepy. On long trips, you should make periodic rest stops to
refresh yourself before continuing on your journey. When possible, you
should share the driving with others.
CAR PHONES AND DRIVING
CAUTION
A drivers use of a car phone can be distracting and if special
care is not taken, can lead to an accident. If you use a car phone
while driving, make an extra effort to pay attention to the road
and to traffic at all times. If you can safely do so, it is best to pull
off to the side of the road before using your car phone.

MODIFICATION OF YOUR VEHICLE
CAUTION
Your vehicle should not be modified. Modification could affect its
performance, safety or durability, and may even violate govern-
mental regulations. In addition, damage or performance problems
resulting from modification may not be covered under warranties.
DRIVING WITH PETS
Unrestrained pets can interfere with your driving and distract your atten-
tion from driving. In a collision or sudden stop, unrestrained pets or
cages can be thrown around inside the vehicle and hurt you or your pas-
sengers. Besides, the pets can be hurt under these situations. It is also
for their own safety that pets should be properly restrained in your
vehicle. Restrain a pet with a special traveling harness which can be se-
cured to the rear seat with a seatbelt or use a pet carrier which can be
secured to the rear seat by routing a seatbelt through the carrier’s han-
dle. Never restrain pets or pet carriers in the front passenger’s seat. For
further information, consult your veterinarian, local animal protection so-
ciety or pet shop.

Front seats
WARNING
D Never adjust the seat while driving to avoid the possibility of
loss of vehicle control and of personal injury.
D Never drive the vehicle with the head restraints removed be-
cause they are designed to reduce the risk of serious neck injury
in the event that the vehicle is struck from the rear.
D Before adjusting the seat, make sure the hands and feet of rear
seat passengers are clear of the adjusting mechanism.
D Seatbelts provide maximum restraint when the occupant sits
well back and upright in the seat. To reduce the risk of sliding un-
der the seatbelt in a collision, the front seatbacks should be al-
ways used in the upright position while the vehicle is running. If
the front seatbacks are not used in the upright position in a colli-
sion, the risk of sliding under the lap belt and of the lap belt slid-
ing up over the abdomen will increase, and both can result in se-
rious internal injury or death.
D Do not put cushions or any other materials between occupants
and seatbacks or seat cushions. If you do so, the risk of sliding
under the lap belt and of the lap belt sliding up over the abdomen
will increase, and both can result in serious internal injury or death.
D The SRS airbags deploy with considerable speed and force.
Occupants who are out of proper position when the SRS airbag
deploys could suffer very serious injuries. Because the SRS air-
bag needs enough space for deployment, the driver should al-
ways sit upright and well 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.
D Put children aged 12 and under in the rear seat properly re-
strained at all times. The SRS airbag deploys with considerable
speed and force and can injure or even kill children, especially if
they are 12 years of age and under and are not restrained or im-
properly restrained. Because children are lighter and weaker than
Legacy U.S.A..(ENG.)A2280BEA
Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
1-3
– – CONTINUED
adults, their risk of being injured from deployment is greater. For
that reason, we strongly recommend that ALL children (including
those in child seats and those that have outgrown child restraint
devices) sit in the REAR seat properly restrained at all times in a
child restraint device or in a seatbelt, whichever is appropriate for
the childs age, height and weight.
Secure ALL types of child restraint devices (including forward fac-
ing child seat) in the REAR seats at all times.
NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FACING CHILD SEAT IN THE
FRONT SEAT. DOING SO RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO
THE CHILD BY PLACING THE CHILDS HEAD TOO CLOSE TO THE
SRS AIRBAG.
According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating
positions. For instructions and precautions concerning child re-
straint systems, see the Child restraint systems section in this
chapter.

seat cushion with the head restraint removed, a wide flat bed is
made available.
WARNING
D Never drive your car with the seats converted in a flat bed
position. If you do so, occupants will have a greater chance of
being injured even during simple deceleration, acceleration and
cornering since no firm restraint will be available for them.
D Before you lie on the flat bed to take a rest, read the descrip-
tion Parking your vehicle in Chapter 7 carefully and follow the
instructions.

Rear seats
WARNING
D Seatbelts provide maximum restraint when the occupant sits
well back and upright in the seat. Do not put cushions or any other
materials between occupants and seatbacks or seat cushions. If
you do so, the risk of sliding under the lap belt and of the lap belt
sliding up over the abdomen will increase, and both can result in
serious internal injury or death.
D Never allow passengers to ride on the folded rear seatback, in
the cargo area. Doing so may result in serious injury or death.
D Never stack luggage or other cargo higher than the top of the
seatback because it could tumble forward and injure passengers
in the event of a sudden stop or accident.
D Secure skis and other lengthy items properly to prevent them
from being thrown around inside the vehicle and causing serious
injury during a sudden stop, a sudden steering or a rapid accel-
eration.

J Seatbelt safety tips
WARNING
D All persons in the vehicle should fasten their seatbelts BE-
FORE the vehicle starts to move. Otherwise, the possibility of se-
rious injury becomes greater in the event of a sudden stop or ac-
cident.
D All belts should fit snugly in order to provide full restraint.
Loose fitting belts are not as effective in preventing or reducing
injury.
D Each seatbelt is designed to support only one person. Never
use a single belt for two or more persons even children. Other-
wise, in an accident, serious injury or death could result.
D Replace all seatbelt assemblies including retractors and at-
taching hardware worn by occupants of a vehicle that has been in
Legacy U.S.A..(ENG.)A2280BEA
1-16
a serious accident. The entire assembly should be replaced even
if damage is not obvious.
D Put children aged 12 and under in the rear seat properly re-
strained at all times. The SRS airbag deploys with considerable
speed and force and can injure or even kill children, especially if
they are 12 years of age and under and are not restrained or im-
properly restrained. Because children are lighter and weaker than
adults, their risk of being injured from deployment is greater. For
that reason, we strongly recommend that ALL children (including
those in child seats and those that have outgrown child restraint
devices) sit in the REAR seat properly restrained at all times in a
child restraint device or in a seatbelt, whichever is appropriate for
the childs height and weight.
Secure ALL types of child restraint devices (including forward
facing child seats) in the REAR seats at all times.
NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FACING CHILD SEAT IN THE
FRONT SEAT. DOING SO RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO
THE CHILD BY PLACING THE CHILDS HEAD TOO CLOSE TO
THE SRS AIRBAG.
According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating
positions. For instructions and precautions concerning the child
restraint system, see the Child restraint systems section in this
chapter.
B Infants or small children
Use a child restraint system that is suitable for your vehicle. See in-
formation on “ ”Child restraint systems in this chapter.
B Children
If a child is too big for a child restraint system, the child should sit in
the rear seat and be restrained using the seatbelts. According to ac-
cident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in the
rear seating positions than in the front seating positions. Never allow a
child to stand up or kneel on the seat.
If the shoulder portion of the belt crosses the face or neck, move the
Legacy U.S.A..(ENG.)A2280BEA

child closer to the belt buckle to help provide a good shoulder belt fit.
Care must be taken to securely place the lap belt as low as possible
on the hips and not on the childs waist. If the shoulder portion of the
belt cannot be properly positioned, a child restraint system should be
used. Never place the shoulder belt under the childs arm or behind
the childs back.
B Expectant mothers
Expectant mothers also need to use the seatbelts. They should con-
sult their doctor for specific recommendations. The lap belt should be
worn securely and as low as possible over the hips, not over the
waist.
J Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR)
The drivers seatbelt has an Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR).
The emergency locking retractor allows normal body movement but the
retractor locks automatically during a sudden stop, impact or if you pull
the belt very quickly out of the retractor.
J Automatic/Emergency Locking Retractor (A/ELR)
Each passengers seatbelt has an Automatic/Emergency Locking Re-
tractor (A/ELR). The Automatic/Emergency Locking Retractor normally
functions as an Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR). The A/ELR has an
additional locking mode Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) mode in-“ ”
tended to secure a child restraint system. When the seatbelt is once
drawn out completely and is then retracted even slightly, the retractor
locks the seatbelt in that position and the seatbelt cannot be extended.
As the belt is rewinding, clicks will be heard which indicate the retractor
functions as ALR. When the seatbelt is retracted fully, ALR mode is re-
leased.
When securing a child restraint system on the passengers seats, the
seatbelt must be changed over to the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)
mode.
When the child restraint system is removed, make sure that the retractor
is restored to the Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) function by allow-
ing the seatbelt to retract fully.
Legacy U.S.A..(ENG.)A2280BEA
1-18
For instructions on how to convert the retractor to the ALR mode and re-
store it to the ELR mode, see the Child restraint systems section in this
chapter.
J Seatbelt warning light and chime
Your vehicle is equipped with a seatbelt warning device at the drivers
seat.
This device causes the seatbelt warning light on the instrument panel to
light up for about six seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ ” ON position to remind the driver to wear the seatbelt. If the driver s
seatbelt is not fastened, a warning chime sounds at the same time.
J Fastening the seatbelt
WARNING
D Never use a belt that is twisted or reversed. In an accident, this
can increase the risk or severity of injury.
D Never place the shoulder belt under the arm or behind the back.
If an accident occurs, this can increase the risk or severity of injury.
D Keep the lap belt as low as possible on your hips. In a colli-
sion, this spreads the force of the lap belt over stronger hip
bones instead of across the weaker abdomen.
D Seatbelts provide maximum restraint when the occupant sits
well back and upright in the seat. To reduce the risk of sliding un-
der the seatbelt in a collision, the front seatbacks should be al-
ways used in the upright position while the vehicle is running. If
the front seatbacks are not used in the upright position in a colli-
sion, the risk of sliding under the lap belt and of the lap belt slid-
ing up over the abdomen will increase, and both can result in se-
rious internal injury or death.
D Do not put cushions or any other materials between occupants
and seatbacks or seat cushions. If you do so, the risk of sliding
under the lap belt and of the lap belt sliding up over the abdomen
will increase, and both can result in serious internal injury or
death.

n Adjusting the front seat shoulder belt anchor height
WARNING
When wearing the seatbelts, make sure the shoulder portion of
the webbing does not pass over your neck. If it does, adjust the
seatbelt anchor to a lower position. Placing the shoulder belt
over the neck may result in neck injury during sudden braking or
in a collision.

J Seatbelt maintenance
CAUTION
D Keep the belts free of polishes, oils, chemicals and particularly
battery acid.
D Never attempt to make modifications or changes that will pre-
vent the seatbelt from operating properly.
To clean the seatbelts, use a mild soap and lukewarm water. Never
bleach or dye the belts because this could seriously affect their strength.
Inspect the seatbelts and attachments including the webbing and all
hardware periodically for cracks, cuts, gashes, tears, damage, loose
bolts or worn areas. Replace the seatbelts even if only minor damage is
found.
Front seatbelt pretensioners
WARNING
D To obtain maximum protection, occupants should sit in an up-
right position with their seatbelts properly fastened. Refer to
“ ”Seatbelts section in this chapter.
D Do not modify, remove or strike the front seatbelt retractor as-
semblies or surrounding area. This could result in accidental ac-
tivation of the seatbelt pretensioners or could make the system
inoperative, possibly resulting in serious injury. Seatbelt preten-
sioners have no user-serviceable parts. For required servicing of
front seatbelt retractors equipped with seatbelt pretensioners,
see your nearest SUBARU dealer.
D When discarding front seatbelt retractor assemblies or scrap-
ping the entire car due to collision damage or for other reasons,
consult your SUBARU dealer.

HB0373
Seatbelt retractor
assembly
(Pretensioner)
The drivers and front passengers seatbelts have a seatbelt preten-
sioner. The seatbelt pretensioners are designed to be activated in the
event of an accident involving a moderate to severe frontal collision.
The pretensioner sensor also serves as a SRS frontal airbag sensor. If
the sensor detects a certain predetermined amount of force during a
frontal collision, the front seatbelt is quickly drawn back in by the re-
tractor to take up the slack so that the belt more effectively restrains
the front seat occupant.
When a seatbelt pretensioner is activated, an operating noise will be
heard and a small amount of smoke will be released. These occur-
rences are normal and not harmful. This smoke does not indicate a
fire in the vehicle.
Once the seatbelt pretensioner has been activated, the seatbelt re-
tractor remains locked. Consequently, the seatbelt can not be pulled
out and retracted.
NOTE
D Seatbelt pretensioners are not designed to activate in minor
frontal impacts, in side or rear impacts or in roll-over accidents.
D The drivers seat and passengers seat pretensioners and fron-
tal airbag operate simultaneously.
D Pretensioners are designed to function on a one-time-only ba-
sis. In the event that a pretensioner is activated, both the drivers
and front passengers seatbelt retractor assemblies must be re-
Legacy U.S.A..(ENG.)A2280BEA
1-30
placed and only by an authorized SUBARU dealer. When replac-
ing seatbelt retractor assemblies, use only genuine SUBARU
parts.
D If either front seatbelt does not retract or cannot be pulled out
due to a malfunction or activation of the pretensioner, contact
your SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.
D If the front seatbelt retractor assembly or surrounding area
has been damaged, contact your SUBARU dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
D When you sell your vehicle, we urge you to explain to the buy-
er that it has seatbelt pretensioners by alerting him to the con-
tents of this section.
B System monitors
HB4010EC
A diagnostic system continually monitors the readiness of the seatbelt
pretensioner while the vehicle is being driven. The seatbelt preten-
sioners share the control module with the airbag system. Therefore, if
any malfunction occurs in a seatbelt pretensioner, the SRS airbag sys-
tem warning light will illuminate. The SRS airbag system warning light
will show normal system operation by lighting for about 6 seconds
when the ignition key is turned to the “ ”ON position.
The following components are monitored by the indicator:
D Front sub sensor (Right hand side)
D Front sub sensor (Left hand side)
D Airbag control module (including impact sensors)

D All related wiring
In the event of a malfunction indicated by any of following, the vehicle
should be taken promptly to your nearest SUBARU dealer to have the
system checked. Unless checked and repaired, the seatbelt preten-
sioners and airbags will not function reliably:
D Flashing or flickering of the indicator light.
D No illumination of the warning light when the ignition switch is
first turned to the “ ”ON position.
D Continuous illumination of the warning light.
D Illumination of the warning light while driving.
B System servicing
WARNING
D When discarding a seatbelt retractor assembly or scrapping
the entire car damaged by a collision, consult your SUBARU deal-
er.
D Tampering with or disconnecting the systems wiring could re-
sult in accidental activation of the seatbelt pretensioner and/or
airbag or could make the system inoperative, which may result in
serious injury. The wiring harnesses of the seatbelt pretensioner
and SRS airbag systems are covered with yellow insulation and
the connectors of the system are yellow for easy identification.
Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the
seatbelt pretensioner and airbag systems. For required servicing
of the seatbelt pretensioner, see your nearest SUBARU dealer.
CAUTION
The front sub sensors are located in both front fenders and the
airbag control module including the impact sensors is located
under the center console. If you need service or repair in those
areas or near the front seatbelt retractors, we recommend that
you have an authorized SUBARU dealer perform the work.

Child restraint systems
WARNING
D Never let a passenger hold a child on his or her lap while the
vehicle is moving. The passenger cannot protect the child from
injury in a collision, because the child will be caught between the
passenger and objects inside the vehicle. Additionally, holding a
child in your lap or arms in the front seat exposes that child to
another serious danger. Since the SRS airbag deploys with con-
siderable speed and force, the child could be injured or even
killed.
D Put children aged 12 and under in the rear seat properly re-
strained at all times. The SRS airbag deploys with considerable
speed and force and can injure or even kill children, especially if
they are 12 years of age and under and are not restrained or im-
properly restrained. 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
devices (including forward facing child seats) in the REAR seats
at all times. You should choose a restraint device which is
appropriate for the childs 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.
D SINCE YOUR VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A PASSENGERS
SRS AIRBAG, DO NOT INSTALL A REARWARD FACING CHILD
SAFETY SEAT IN THE FRONT PASSENGERS SEAT. DOING SO
RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE CHILD BY PLACING
THE CHILDS HEAD TOO CLOSE TO THE SRS AIRBAG.
D Children should be properly restrained in the rear seat at all
times. Never allow a child to stand up, or to kneel on the front
passengers seat. The SRS airbag deploys with considerable
force and can injure or even kill the child.

WARNING
D Child restraint systems and seatbelts can become hot in a ve-
hicle that has been closed up in sunny weather; they could burn
a small child. Check the child restraint system before you place a
child in it.
D Do not leave an unsecured child restraint system in your vehi-
cle. Unsecured child restraint systems can be thrown around in-
side of the vehicle in a sudden stop, turn or accident; it can strike
and injure vehicle occupants as well as result in serious injuries
or death to the child.
Infants and small children should always be placed in an infant or child
restraint system in the rear seat while riding in the vehicle. You should
use an infant or child restraint system that meets Federal Motor Vehicle

Safety Standards or Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, is compat-
ible with your vehicle and is appropriate for the childs age and size. All
child restraint systems are designed to be secured in vehicle seats by
lap belts or the lap belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt (except those cov-
ered under the section in this manual, entitled Instruction of child re-
straint systems by use of lower and tether anchorages).
Children could be endangered in an accident if their child restraints are
not properly secured in the vehicle. When installing the child restraint
system, carefully follow the manufacturers instructions.
According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly re-
strained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating positions.
All U.S. states and Canadian provinces require that infants and small
children be restrained in an approved child restraint system at all times
while the vehicle is moving.
B Installing child restraint systems with seatbelt
NOTE
When the child restraint system is no longer in use, remove it and
restore the ELR function of the retractor. That function is restored
by allowing the seatbelt to retract fully.
CAUTION
When you install a child restraint system, follow the manufactur-
ers instructions supplied with it. After installing the child re-
straint system, check to ensure that it is held securely in posi-
tion. If it is not held tight and secure, the danger of your child
suffering personal injury in the event of an accident may be in-
creased.

the retractor. As the belt is rewinding, clicks will be heard which indi-
cate the retractor functions as ALR.
6. Before having a child sit in the child restraint system, move it back
and forth to check if it is firmly secured. Sometimes a child restraint
can be more firmly secured by pushing it down into the seat cushion
and then tightening the seatbelt.
7. Pull at the shoulder portion of the belt to confirm that it cannot be
pulled out (ALR properly functioning).
If the child restraint system requires a top tether, latch the hook onto
the top tether anchor and tighten the top tether. See the Top tether

CAUTION
When you install a child restraint system, follow the manufactur-
ers instructions supplied with it. After installing the child re-
straint system, check to ensure that it is held securely in posi-
tion. If it is not held tight and secure, the danger of your child
suffering personal injury in the event of an accident may be in-
creased.
1. Use the “ ”Child marks to locate the two lower anchorages (bars)
for the position where you want to install the child restraint system.
NOTE
On a vehicle with a built-in child restraint, if you are required to
use a child restraint system and the built-in child restraint at the
same time, it is recommended that you install the child restraint
system on the rear left side (behind the drivers seat). The built-in
child restraint is located toward the right side. For this reason,
certain child restraint systems will be tilted if installed on the
right side and they cannot be properly secured.
2. While following the instructions supplied by the child restraint sys-
tem manufacturer, connect the connectors of the child restraint sys-
tem to the lower anchorages.
When the connectors are fastened, make sure that the adjacent seat-
belts are not caught.
If your child restraint system is of a flexible attachment type (which
uses tether straps to connect the child restraint system proper to the
lower anchorages), firmly tighten the straps after connecting the con-
nectors.
3. Connect the top tether hook to the tether anchorage and firmly
tighten the tether.
For information on how to set the top tether, read the following Top
tether anchorages.
4. Before seating a child in the child restraint system, try to move seat
back and forth to verify that it is held securely in position.

The child restraint is designed for use only by children who weigh be-
tween 9.05 kg (20 lb.) and 18.09 kg (40 lb.), whose height is 110 cm
(44.3 in.) or less, who are capable of sitting upright alone and whose
shoulder height is below the shoulder belt slot.
The child should also be at least one year old. It is important to use a
rear-facing child restraint until the child is about a year old. A rear-facing
restraint gives the childs head, neck and body the support they would
need in a collision. See the “ ”Child restraint systems section in this
manual.
WARNING
Do not use the built-in child restraint for infants who require a
rear-facing child restraint. In an accident, serious crippling injury
or death could result if the built-in restraint is used for the infant.
If the child exceeds the maximum weight and height capacities of the
built-in child restraint (maximum weight of 18.09 kg (40 lb.) and maxi-
mum height of 110 cm (44.3 in.)), do not use the built-in child restraint.
The child should use either the vehicles seatbelts or an approved after-
market booster seat, if necessary.
The built-in child restraint system conforms to Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard No. 213 and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No.
213.4.
According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly re-
strained in the rear seating position than in the front seating position.
Children aged 12 and under should not sit in the front seat of a car
equipped with a passengers SRS airbag.
WARNING
D Make sure the child is securely restrained with the built-in
child restraint.
D Failure to follow the manufacturers instructions on the use of
this child restraint system can result in your child striking the ve-
hicles interior during a sudden stop or crash.

D Snugly adjust the belts provided with this child restraint
around your child.
D The built-in child restraint should be used for only one child at
a time. Using it for two or more children at the same time could
result in serious injury or death in an accident.
D Do not use the center lap and shoulder belt with the child re-
straint. A child using the center seatbelt could slide forward and
out from under the seatbelt in a sudden stop or an accident, re-
sulting in serious injury to the child.
HBS047BA
WARNING
D Do not use another child restraint system over the opened
built-in child restraint. Because a child restraint system cannot
be secured on the built-in restraint cushion, the restraint could
fall down during sudden braking, a sharp turn or in an accident,
causing serious injury to the child in it.
D Always keep the child restraint equipped rear seatback locked
securely in place when the child restraint is in use. Otherwise, in
an accident, serious injury or death to a child could result if the
seatback falls down.
D The built-in child restraint, especially metallic parts, can be-
come hot in a vehicle that has been closed up in sunny weather;
they could burn a small child. Check the child restraint before
you place a child in it.

CAUTION
Be careful not to damage the belt webbing or hardware. Take care
that they do not get caught or pinched in the seatback.
The lap-shoulder belts of the built-in child restraint are equipped with an
automatic locking retractor (ALR) that automatically locks when both
tongue plates are latched into the belt buckle and the belts retract.
B Placing a child in the built-in child restraint
1. Before using the built-in child restraint, make sure the vehicles rear
seatback is locked securely in place.

8. Pull out one side of the lap-shoulder belt and place it over the
childs shoulder. Insert the tongue plate into the buckle until it clicks.
If both sides of the belt are pulled out, the belts will lock. If the belts
lock, allow them to fully retract to unlock the retractor. Then pull out
only one side of the belt.
9. Pull out the other side of lap-shoulder belt and place it over the
childs shoulder in a single motion. Insert the tongue plate into the
buckle until it clicks. Once the belt retracts even slightly, the ALR will
be activated and both belts will lock.
If the belt stops before the tongue reaches the buckle, allow both
belts to fully retract to unlock the retractor and then separately pull out
the belts and buckle them again.
10. Allow both belts to tighten snugly against the childs shoulders.
Because of the ALR function, the belts cannot be pulled out simulta-
neously from the retractor.
The color green must appear in the indicator window on each tongue
when buckled. If the color red appears in the window, the tongue is
not buckled.
WARNING
After inserting the tongue plates, make sure the tongue plates
and buckle are locked and that the lap-shoulder belts and crotch
belt are not twisted. If the restraint is used with the tongues and
buckle not locked and/or with the belts twisted, the risk or severi-
ty of injury to the child could increase in an accident.
CAUTION
If the child restraint belts do not function normally, contact your
authorized SUBARU dealer immediately.

11. Fasten the right and left halves of the chest clip at the level of the
childs armpits. The color green must appear in the indicator window
when fastened. If the color red appears in the window, the clip is not
securely latched.
The purpose of the clip is to keep the shoulder belts positioned cor-
rectly on the shoulders.
WARNING
An unfastened chest clip will not help keep the belts on the
childs shoulders. In a sudden stop or in an accident, the child
may go too far forward and be seriously injured. Make sure the
chest clip is fastened at all times.
12. If the belts are loose, pull down on lap parts of the belts to take in
the slack of the lap and shoulder belts.
13. Pull the belts toward you to make sure the belt buckle is properly
fastened and the retractor is locked.
14. If the belts become too tight, unbuckle the buckle and allow both
belts to fully retract to unlock the retractor, then reinsert both tongue
plates.

*SRS airbag
(Supplemental Restraint System airbag)
*SRS: This stands for supplemental restraint system. This name is used
because the airbag system supplements the vehicles seatbelts.
J Vehicle with drivers and front passengers SRS air-
bags and lap/shoulder restraints
WARNING
D To obtain maximum protection in the event of an accident, the
driver and all passengers in the vehicle should always wear seat-
belts when the vehicle is moving. The SRS airbag is designed
only as a supplement to the primary protection provided by the
seatbelt. It does not do away with the need to fasten seatbelts. In
combination with the seatbelts, it offers the best combined
protection in case of a serious accident.
Not wearing a seatbelt increases the chance of severe injury or
death in a crash even when the car has the SRS airbag.
For instructions and precautions concerning the seatbelt system,
see the “ ”Seatbelts sections in this chapter.
D Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to the SRS airbag. Be-
cause the SRS airbag deploys with considerable speed faster
than the blink of an eye and force to protect in high speed colli-
sions, the force of an airbag can injure an occupant whose body
is too close to SRS airbag.
It is also important to wear your 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-accident
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 because of the SRS airbag deploy-
ment force.
Legacy U.S.A..(ENG.)A2280BEA
Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
1-55
– – CONTINUED
D The SRS airbags deploy with considerable speed and force.
Occupants who are out of proper position when the SRS airbag
deploys could suffer very serious injuries. Because the SRS air-
bag needs enough space for deployment, the driver should al-
ways sit upright and well 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.
D Do not place any objects over or near the SRS airbag cover or
between you and the SRS airbag. If the SRS airbag deploys,
those objects could interfere with its proper operation and could
be propelled inside the car and cause injury.
D Put children aged 12 and under in the rear seat properly re-
strained at all times. The SRS airbag deploys with considerable
speed and force and can injure or even kill children, especially if
they are 12 years of age and under and are not restrained or im-
properly restrained. Because children are lighter and weaker than
adults, their risk of being injured from deployment is greater.
For that reason, we strongly recommend that ALL children (in-
cluding those in child seats and those that have outgrown child
restraint devices) sit in the REAR seat properly restrained at all
times in a child restraint device or in a seatbelt, whichever is ap-
propriate for the childs age, height and weight.
Secure ALL types of child restraint devices (including forward
facing child seats) in the REAR seats at all times.
According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating positions than in the front seating
positions.
For instructions and precautions concerning the child restraint
system, see the “ ”Child restraint systems section in this chapter.
D NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD FACING CHILD SEAT IN THE
FRONT SEAT. DOING SO RISKS SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO
THE CHILD BY PLACING THE CHILDS HEAD TOO CLOSE TO

CAUTION
D When the SRS airbag deploys, some smoke will be released.
This smoke could cause breathing problems for people with a
history of asthma or other breathing trouble. If you or your pas-
sengers have breathing problems after SRS airbag deploys, get
fresh air promptly.
D A deploying SRS airbag releases hot gas. Occupants could get
burnt if they come into direct contact with the hot gas.
The supplemental restraint system (SRS) consists of two airbags (drivers
and front passengers frontal airbags) or four airbags (drivers and front
passengers frontal airbags and drivers and front passengers side air-
bags).
These SRS airbags are designed only as a supplement to the prima-
ry protection provided by the seatbelt.
The system also controls front seatbelt pretensioners. For operation,
instructions are precautions concerning the seatbelt pretensioner, see
the Front seatbelt pretensioner section in this chapter.

OM-H0384
Drivers side Passengers side
The SRS airbag can function only when the ignition switch is in the
“ ”ON position.
If the front sub sensors inside the both front fenders and the impact
sensors in the airbag control module detect a certain predetermined
amount of force during a frontal collision, the control module sends
signals to the frontal airbag modules instructing them to inflate the
SRS frontal airbags. Then both airbag modules produce gas, which
instantly inflates drivers and passengers SRS frontal airbags. After
the deployment, the SRS airbags immediately start to deflate so that
the drivers vision is not obstructed. The time required from detecting
impact to the deflating SRS airbag after deployment is shorter than
the blink of an eye.
The front passengers SRS frontal airbag deploys together with driv-
ers SRS frontal airbag even when no one occupies the front passen-
gers seat.
When the SRS frontal airbags deploy, the drivers and front passen-
gers seatbelt pretensioners operate at the same time.
Although it is highly unlikely that the SRS airbag would activate in a
non-accident situation, should it occur, the SRS airbag will deflate
quickly, not obscuring vision and will not interfere with the drivers
ability to maintain control of the vehicle.
Legacy U.S.A..(ENG.)A2280BEA
1-62
When the SRS airbag deploys, a sudden, fairly loud inflation noise will
be heard and some smoke will be released. These occurrences are
normal result of the deployment. This smoke does not indicate a fire in
the vehicle.
The SRS frontal airbag is designed to deploy in the event of an acci-
dent involving a moderate to severe frontal collision. It is basically not
designed to deploy in lesser frontal impacts because the necessary
protection can be achieved by the seatbelt alone. Also, it is basically
not designed to deploy in side or rear impacts or in roll-over acci-
dents because deployment of the SRS frontal airbag would not help
the occupant in those situations. The SRS airbag is designed to func-
tion on a one-time-only basis.
SRS airbag deployment depends on the level of force experienced in
the passenger compartment during a collision. That level differs from
one type of collision to another, and it may have no bearing on the
visible damage done to the vehicle itself.
n Examples of accident in which the SRS frontal airbag will most
likely deploy.
A head-on collision against a thick concrete wall at a vehicle speed of
12 to 19 mph (20 to 30 km/h) activates the SRS frontal airbag. The
SRS frontal airbag will also be activated when the vehicle is exposed
to a frontal impact similar in fashion and magnitude to the above-men-
tioned collision.

when the vehicle plunges into a deep ditch, is severely bumped or
knocked hard against an obstacle on the road such as a curb).
HB1057BAHB1056BA
n Examples of the types of accidents in which the SRS frontal
airbag is unlikely to deploy.
There are many types of collisions which might not necessarily require
SRS frontal airbag deployment. If the vehicle strikes an object, such
as a telephone pole or sign pole, or if it slides under a trucks load
bed, or if it sustains an oblique offset frontal impact, the SRS frontal
airbag may not deploy depending on the level of accident forces in-
volved.

WARNING
D The SRS aide airbag is designed as only a supplement to the
primary protection provided by the seatbelt. It does not do away
with the need to fasten seatbelts. It is also important to wear your
seatbelt to help avoid injuries that can result when an occupant is
not seated in a proper upright position.
D Do not sit or lean unnecessarily close to either front door. The
SRS side airbag is stored in both front seat seatbacks next to the
door, and it provides protection by deploying rapidly (faster than
the blink of an eye) in the event of a side impact collision. Howev-
er, the force of SRS side airbag deployment may cause injuries if
your head or other body parts are too close to the SRS side air-
bag.
D Do not rest your arm on either front door or its internal trim. It
could be injured in the event of SRS side airbag deployment.
D Never allow a child to kneel on the front passengers seat fac-
ing the side window or to wrap his/her arms around the front seat
seatback. In the event of an accident, the force of SRS side airbag
deployment could seriously injure or even kill the child because
his/her head or arms or other body parts are close to the side air-
bag. Since your vehicle is also equipped with a passengers SRS
frontal airbag, children aged 12 and under should be placed in
the rear seat anyway and should be properly restrained at all
times.

An impact sensor is incorporated into each of the vehicles center pil-
lars. If either sensor detects a certain predetermined amount of force
during a side impact collision, the control module sends a signal to
the side airbag module on the impacted side of the vehicle, instruct-
ing it to inflate the SRS side airbag. Then the side airbag module pro-
duces gas, which instantly inflates the SRS side airbag. After the de-
ployment, the SRS side airbag immediately starts to deflate. The time
required from detecting impact to deflating of the SRS side airbag af-
ter deployment is shorter than the blink of an eye.

Example: In the case of a double side impact collision, first with one
vehicle and immediately followed by another from the same direction,
the SRS side airbag is activated on the first impact but not on the se-
cond.

chronize the unit.
B Replacing lost transmitters
If you lose a transmitter or want to purchase additional transmitters
(up to four can be programmed), you should re-program all of your
transmitters for security reasons. It is recommended that you have
your dealer program all of your transmitters into your system.
n Programming the transmitters
The keyless entry system is equipped with a special code learning
feature that allows you to program new transmitter codes into the sys-
tem or to delete old ones. The system can learn up to four unique
transmitter codes. The four transmitter codes may be the same or dif-
ferent.
To enter the programming mode:

To exit the programming mode:
1. After all of your transmitters are programmed, remove the key from
the ignition switch.
The horn will sound three times to indicate that the system has exited
the programming mode.
2. Make sure that the keyless entry system properly operates by
operating each transmitter.
n Deleting old transmitter codes
The control unit of the keyless entry system has four memory loca-
tions to store transmitter codes, giving it the ability to operate with up
to four transmitters. When you lose a transmitter, the lost transmitters
code remains in the memory. For security reasons, lost transmitter
codes should be deleted from the memory.
To delete old transmitter codes, program four transmitter codes into
the system. If you have only one current transmitter, program it four
times. If you have two current transmitters, program each one twice. If
you have three current transmitters, program two of them once and
the third one twice. This process will leave only current transmitter
codes in the systems memory.
NOTE
Make sure no one else is operating their keyless entry system
within range of your vehicle when programming transmitters. If
someone else were to operate their remote transmitter while you
are programming your transmitters, it is possible that their trans-
mitter code will be programmed into your system, allowing them
unauthorized access to your vehicle.
