1-58 Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags
In the event that the SRS airbag is de-
ployed, replacement of the system
should be performed only by an autho-
rized SUBARU dealer. When the com-
ponents of the SRS airbag system are
replaced, use only genuine SUBARU
parts.
To ensure their long-term reliability, the
SRS airbags must be inspected by a
SUBARU dealer ten years after the date
of manufacture, which is shown on the
certification plate attached to the driver"s
door jamb.
NOTE
In the following cases, contact your
SUBARU dealer as soon as possible.
The front part of the vehicle was in-
volved in an accident in which only the
driver!s SRS frontal airbag or both driv-
er!s and front passenger!s SRS frontal
airbags did not deploy.

wheel or front passenger!s frontal air-
bag cover is scratched, cracked, or

of the vehicle was involved in an acci-
dent in which the SRS side airbag did
