Model "A1180BE-A" EDITED: 2013/ 6/ 11
& SUBARU advanced frontal
airbag system, SRS side air-
bag and SRS curtain airbag
Your vehicle is equipped with a SUBARU
advanced frontal airbag system that com-
plies with the new advanced frontal airbag
requirements i n the amended Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
No. 208.
The SUBARU advan ced frontal airbag
system automatically determines the de-
ployment force of the drivers SRS frontal
airbag at the time of deployment as well as
whether or not to activate the front
passengers SRS frontal airbag and, if
activated, the deployment force of the
SRS frontal airbag at the time of deploy-
ment.
Your vehicle has warning labels on the
drivers and front passengers sun visors
beginning with the phrase EVEN WITH
ADVANCED AIR BAGS and a tag
attached to the glove box lid beginning
with the phrase Even with Advanced Air
Bags. Make sure that you carefully read
the instructions on the warning labels and
tag.
Always wear your seatbelt. The SUBARU
advanced frontal airbag system is a
supplemental restraint system and must
be used in combination with a seatbelt. All
occupants should wear a seatbelt or be
seated in an appropriate child restraint
system.
For the locations of the driversSRS
frontal airbag, front passenger sSRS
frontal airbag, SRS side airbag and SRS
curtain airbag, refer to Components F1-
41.
In a moderate to severe frontal collision,
the drivers and front passengers SRS
frontal airbags deploy and supplement the
seatbelts by reducing the impact on the
drivers and front passengers head and
chest.
In a moderate to severe side impact
collision, the SRS side airbag on the
impacted s ide of the vehicle deploys
between the occupant and the door panel
and supplements the seatbelt by reducing
the impact on the occupants chest and
waist.
In a moderate to severe side impact
collision, the SRS curtain airbag on the
impacted s ide of the vehicle deploys
between the occupant and the side
window and supplements the seatbelt by
reducing the impact on the occupants
head.
NOTE
The SRS side airbag, SRS curtain air-
bag and seatbelt pretensioner are not
controlled by the SUBARU advanced
frontal airbag system.
! Drivers SRS frontal airbag
The drivers SRS frontal airbag uses a
dual stage inflator. The inflator operates in
different ways depending on the severity
of impact.
Have the system inspected by your
SUBARU dealer immediately if the SRS
airbag system warning light illuminates.
! Front passengers SRS frontal air-
bag
The front passengers SRS frontal airbag
uses a dual stage inflator. The inflator
operates in different ways depending on
the severity of impact.
The total load on the seat is monitored by
the occupant detection systems weight
sensor located under the seat.
The system has another sensor that
monitors the tension of the front passen-
ger seatbelt. Using the total seat load and
seatbelt tension data from the sensors,
the occupant detection system determines
whether the front passengers SRS frontal
airbag should or should not be inflated.
The occupant detection system may not
inflate the front passengers SRS frontal
airbag even when the drivers SRS frontal
airbag deploys. This is normal.
