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 SUB-
ARU dealer ten years after the date of
manufacture, which is shown on the certi-
fication plate attached to the driver’s door-
jamb.
