Seatbelt maintenance
To clean the seatbelts, use a mild soap
and lukewarm water. Never bleach or dye
the belts because this could seriously af-
fect their strength.
Inspect the seatbelts and attachments in-
cluding the webbing and all hardware pe-
riodically for cracks, cuts, gashes, tears,
damage, loose bolts or worn areas. Re-
place the seatbelts even if only minor
damage is found.
Front seatbelt pretensioners
The driver’s and front passenger’s seat-
belts have a seatbelt pretensioner. The
seatbelt pretensioners are designed to be
activated in the event of an accident in-
volving a moderate to severe frontal colli-
sion.

pretensioner
The pretensioner sensor also serves as
the frontal SRS airbag sensor. If the sen-
sor detects a certain predetermined
amount of force during a frontal collision,
the front seatbelt is quickly drawn back in
by the pretensioner to take up the slack so
that the belt more effectively restrains the
front seat occupant.
When a seatbelt pretensioner is activated,
an operating noise will be heard and a
small amount of smoke will be released.
These occurrences are normal and not
harmful. This smoke does not indicate a
fire in the vehicle.
Once the seatbelt pretensioner has been
activated, the seatbelt retractor remains
locked. Consequently, the seatbelt can
not be pulled out and retracted and there-
fore must be replaced.
NOTE
y
Seatbelt pretensioners are not de-
signed to be activated in minor frontal
impacts, in side or rear impacts or in
roll-over accidents.
y
The driver’s seat and passenger’s
seat pretensioners and frontal SRS air-
bag operate simultaneously.
y
Pretensioners are designed to func-
tion on a one-time-only basis. In the
event that a pretensioner is activated,
we recommend that you have an autho-
rized SUBARU dealer replace both the
driver’s and front passenger’s seatbelt
retractor assemblies with genuine
SUBARU parts.
y
If either front seatbelt does not re-
tract or cannot be pulled out due to a
y
Have the seatbelt fully rolled up
so that the connector (tongue)
plates are neatly stored. A hang-
ing connector (tongue) plate can
swing and hit against the trim dur-
ing driving, causing damage to
the trim.
y
Keep the belts free of polishes,
oils, chemicals and particularly
battery acid.
y
Never attempt to make modifica-
tions or changes that will prevent
the seatbelt from operating prop-
erly.
