Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags/*SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System airbag)
! 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 passengers SRS frontal
airbag should be deployed or not.
ON / : Front passengers frontal airbag ON
indicator
/ : Front passengers frontal airbag OFF
indicator
If the front passengers 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
passengers 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 passengers seat and have
the system checked by your SUBARU
dealer.
. If the SRS airbag system warning light
does not illuminate, check that the front
passengers frontal airbag ON and OFF
indicators work properly. If the indicators
do not work properly, do not allow anyone
to sit on the front passengers seat and
have the system checked by your
SUBARU dealer.
Also, if luggage or electronic devices are
placed on the front passengers seat, this
may adversely affect the ability of the
system to determine deployment. This
may prevent the front passengers 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-
gers frontal airbag may deploy during a
collision. Remove luggage and electronic
devices from the front passengers seat.
CAUTION
Electrical devices, such as cell
phones, lap tops, porta ble music
players, or electronic games, espe-
cially when connected to the acces-
sory power outlet and placed on the
front passengers seat or used by
the person sitting in the front pas-
sengers seat, may affect the opera-
tion of the occupant detection sys-
tem. If the occupant detection sys-
tem warning light illuminates or
operates erratically when using an
electronic device in the vehicle, at
first try to relocate that device to
avoid it creating any interference. If
the device continues to cause inter-
ference, the use of that device in the
vehicle should be discontinued.
