Seatbelt regulations
If seatbelt regulations exist in the country where you reside, we recommend
that you contact any authorized SUBARU dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional, for seatbelt replacement or installation.
WARNING
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of injury in the event of
sudden braking, sudden swerving or an accident.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
■
Wearing a seatbelt
●
Ensure that all passengers wear a seatbelt.
●
Always wear a seatbelt properly.
●
Each seatbelt should be used by one person only. Do not use a seatbelt
for more than one person at once, including children.
●
SUBARU recommends that children be seated in the rear seat and always
use a seatbelt and/or an appropriate child restraint system.
●
To achieve a proper seating position, do not recline the seat more than
necessary. The seatbelt is most effective when the occupants are sitting
up straight and well back in the seats.
●
Do not wear the shoulder belt under your arm.
●
Always wear your seatbelt low and snug across your hips.
●
All belts should fit snugly in order to provide full restraint. Loose fitting belts
are not as effective in preventing or reducing injury.
■
Child seatbelt usage
The seatbelts of your vehicle are principally designed for persons of adult
size. When a child is using a seatbelt, observe the following:
●
Use a child restraint system appropriate for the child, until the child
becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seatbelt. (
→
P. 133)
●
When the child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle's seat-
belt, follow the instructions on P. 74 regarding seatbelt usage.
