Occupant detection system
The occupant detection system sensor is
installed under the seat upholstery and
monitors the physique and posture of the
front passenger. Using this information,
the occupant detection system determines
whether the front passenger
’
s SRS frontal
airbag should be deployed or not.

If the front passenger
’
s seat cushion is
wet, this may adversely affect the ability of
the system to determine deployment. If
the seat cushion is wet, the front passen-
ger should stop sitting on the front
passenger
’
s seat. Wipe off liquid from
the seat immediately, let the seat dry
naturally and then check the SRS airbag
system warning light as follows.
.
If the SRS airbag system warning light
illuminates, keep the seat dry until the
warning light turns off. If the SRS airbag
system warning light stays on even when
the seat has dried, do not allow anyone to
sit on the front passenger
’
s seat and have
the system checked by your SUBARU
dealer.
.
If the SRS airbag system warning light
does not illuminate, check that the front
passenger
’
s frontal airbag ON and OFF
indicators work properly. If the indicators
do not work properly, do not allow anyone
to sit on the front passenger
’
s seat and
have the system checked by your
SUBARU dealer.
Also, if luggage or electronic devices are
placed on the front passenger
’
s seat, this
may adversely affect the ability of the
system to determine deployment. This
may prevent the front passenger
’
s frontal
airbag ON and OFF indicators from work-
ing properly. Check that the indicators
work properly.
When the OFF indicator turns off and the
ON indicator illuminates, the front passen-
ger
’
s frontal airbag may deploy during a
collision. Remove luggage and electronic
devices from the front passenger
’
s seat.
