IMPREZA(NA) A1850BE-A (ENGLISH)
Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
1-48
WARNING
The SRS airbag deploys 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 airbag needs enough space for de-
ployment, the driver should always sit upright
and well back in the seat as far from the steer-
ing 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.
It is also important to wear your seatbelt to
help avoid injuries that can result when the
SRS airbag contacts an occupant not in prop-
er position such as one thrown toward the
front of the car during pre-accident braking.
WARNING
Do not put any objects over the steering
wheel pad and dashboard. If the SRS frontal
airbag deploys, those objects could interfere
with its proper operation and could be pro-
pelled inside the vehicle and cause injury.
