Subaru advanced frontal air-
bag system
Your vehicle is equipped with a Subaru
advanced frontal airbag system that com-
plies with the new advanced frontal airbag
requirements in the amended Federal Mo-
tor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No.
208.
The Subaru advanced frontal airbag sys-
tem automatically determines the deploy-
ment force of the driver ’ s SRS frontal air-
bag at the time of deployment as well as
whether or not to activate the front pas-
senger ’ s SRS frontal airbag and, if activat-
ed, the deployment force of the SRS fron-
tal airbag at the time of deployment.
Your 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 sup-
plemental 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.
The driver ’ s SRS frontal airbag is stowed
in the center portion of the steering wheel.
The front passenger ’ s SRS frontal airbag
is stowed near the top of the dashboard
under an “ SRS AIRBAG ” mark.
In a moderate to severe frontal collision,
the driver ’ s and front passenger ’ s SRS
frontal airbags deploy and supplement the
seatbelts by reducing the impact on the
driver ’ s and front passenger ’ s head and
chest.

NEVER INSTALL A REARWARD
FACING CHILD SEAT 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.
Never allow a child to stand up, or to
kneel on the front passenger ’ s seat.
The SRS airbag deploys with con-
siderable force and can injure or
even kill the child.
