or : Front passenger ’ s frontal
airbag ON indicator
or :Front passenger ’ s frontal
airbag OFF indicator
The front passenger ’ s frontal airbag ON
and OFF indicators show you the status of
the front passenger ’ s SRS frontal airbag.
The indicators are located next to the
clock in the central portion of the instru-
ment panel.
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ ON ” position, both the ON and OFF indi-
cators illuminate for 6 seconds during
which time the system is checked. Follow-
ing the system check, both indicators ex-
tinguish for 2 seconds. After this, one of
the indicators illuminates depending on
the status of the front passenger ’ s SRS
frontal airbag reached by the Subaru ad-
vanced frontal airbag system monitoring.
If the front passenger ’ s SRS frontal airbag
is activated, the passenger ’ s frontal airbag
ON indicator will illuminate while the OFF
indicator will remain extinguished.
If the front passenger ’ s SRS frontal airbag
is deactivated, the passenger ’ s frontal air-
bag ON indicator will remain extinguished
while the OFF indicator will illuminate.
With the ignition switch turned to the “ ON ”
position, if both the ON and OFF indica-
tors remain lit or extinguished simulta-
neously even after the system check peri-
od, the system is faulty. Contact your
SUBARU dealer immediately for an in-
spection.
