SUBARU Advanced Frontal
Airbag System, SRS Seat
Cushion Airbag, SRS Side
Airbag and SRS Curtain Air-
bag

This vehicle is equipped with a SUBARU
advanced frontal airbag system that com-
plies with the new advanced frontal airbag
requirements in the amended Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)
No. 208.
The SUBARU advanced frontal airbag
system automatically determines the de-
ployment force of the driver’s SRS frontal
airbag at the time of deployment as well as
whether or not to activate the front
passenger’s SRS frontal airbag and, if
activated, the deployment force of the SRS
frontal airbag at the time of deployment.

This vehicle has warning labels on the
driver’s and front passenger’s sun visors
beginning with the phrase “EVEN WITH
ADVANCED AIR BAGS” and a tag at-
tached 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.

This vehicle is equipped with a SUBARU
SRS curtain airbag system that complies
with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety

Standard (FMVSS) No. 226.

For the locations of the SRS airbags, refer
to “Components”

�

P86.

In a moderate to severe frontal collision,
the following components deploy.

SRS frontal airbag for driver

SRS frontal airbag for front passenger

SRS seat cushion airbags for front

passenger

SRS curtain airbag*

SRS knee airbag for driver

*1: When an offset frontal collision that is severe

enough to deploy the front airbag occurs.

These components supplement the seat-
belts by reducing the impact to the
occupant’s head, chest and knees.

In a moderate to severe side impact
collision, the SRS side airbag on the
impacted side of the vehicle deploys
between the occupant and the door panel
and supplements the seatbelt by reducing
the impact to the occupant’s chest and
waist.

In a moderate to severe side impact
collision, the SRS curtain airbag on the
impacted side of the vehicle deploys
between the occupant and the side win-
dow and supplements the seatbelt by
reducing the impact to the occupant’s

SRS Airbag (Supplemental Restraint System Airbag)

(91,1)

head.

NOTE

The SRS side airbag and seatbelt pre-
tensioner are not controlled by the
SUBARU advanced frontal airbag sys-
tem.

Driver’s SRS frontal airbag

The driver’s SRS frontal airbag uses a dual
stage inflator. The inflator operates in
different ways depending on the severity
of impact.

SRS airbag system warning light

Have the system inspected by your
SUBARU dealer immediately if the SRS
airbag system warning light illuminates.

Front passenger’s SRS frontal air-
bag

The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag
uses a dual stage inflator. The inflator
operates in different ways depending on
the severity of impact.

Occupant detection sensors

The occupant detection system sensors
are installed between the seat and seat
rails, and monitor the physique and pos-
ture of the front passenger. Using this
information, the occupant detection sys-
tem determines whether the front passen-
ger’s SRS frontal airbag should be de-
ployed or not.

The occupant detection system may not
inflate the front passenger’s SRS frontal
airbag even when the driver’s SRS frontal

airbag deploys. This is normal. In this
case, although the front passenger’s SRS
frontal airbag does not operate, the front
passenger’s seatbelt pretensioner oper-
ates with the driver’s seatbelt preten-
sioner. For details about the seatbelt
pretensioner, refer to “Seatbelt Preten-
sioners”

�

P55.

CAUTION

Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may prevent the
SUBARU advanced frontal airbag
system from functioning correctly
or cause the system to fail.

Do not apply any strong impact to

the front passenger’s seat such
as by kicking.

Do not let rear passengers rest

their feet between the front seat-
back and seat cushion.

Do not spill liquid on the front

passenger’s seat. If liquid is
spilled, wipe it off immediately.

may adversely affect the ability of the
system to determine deployment. This
may prevent the front passenger’s 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-
ger’s frontal airbag may deploy during a
collision. Remove luggage and electronic
devices from the front passenger’s seat.

Conditions in which front passen-
ger’s SRS frontal airbag is not
activated

The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag
will not be activated when any of the
following conditions are met regarding
the front passenger’s seat:

The seat is empty.

The seat is equipped with an appro-

priate child restraint system and an infant
or a child is restrained in it. (See WARN-
ING that follows.)

The front passenger’s occupant detec-

tion system is malfunctioning.

WARNING

NEVER INSTALL A CHILD RE-
STRAINT SYSTEM IN THE FRONT
PASSENGER’S SEAT EVEN IF THE
FRONT PASSENGER’S SRS FRON-
TAL AIRBAG IS DEACTIVATED. Be
sure to install it in the REAR seat in a
correct manner. Also, it is strongly
recommended that any forward fa-
cing child seat or booster seat be
installed in the REAR seat, and that
even children who have outgrown a
child restraint system be also seated
in the REAR seat. This is because
children sitting in the front passen-
ger’s seat may be killed or severely

injured should the front passenger’s
SRS frontal airbag deploy. REAR
seats are the safest place for chil-
dren.

CAUTION

When the front passenger’s seat is
occupied by an infant in an appro-
priate child restraint system, ob-
serve the following precautions.
Failure to do so may increase the
load on the front passenger’s seat,
activating the front passenger’s
SRS frontal airbag even though that
seat is occupied by an infant.

Do not place any article on the

seat other than the infant in the
child restraint system.

Do not place more than one infant

in the child restraint system.

Do not install any accessory such

as a table or TV onto the seat-
back.

Do not store a heavy load in the

seatback pocket.

Do not allow the rear seat occu-

pant to place his/her hands or
legs on the front passenger’s
seatback, or allow him/her to pull

the seatback.

system.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON”
position and make sure that the front
passenger’s frontal airbag ON indicator
turns off and the OFF indicator illuminates.

SRS Airbag (Supplemental Restraint System Airbag)

(97,1)

If still the ON indicator remains illuminated
while the OFF indicator turns off, take the
following actions.

Ensure that no article is placed on the

seat other than the child restraint system
and the child occupant.

Ensure that the backward-forward po-

sition and seatback of front passenger’s
seat are locked into place securely by
moving the seat back and forth. (Models
equipped with manual seats only)

Ensure that there is no article left in the

seatback pocket.

If the ON indicator still remains illuminated
while the OFF indicator turns off after
taking relevant corrective actions de-
scribed above, relocate the child restraint
system to the rear seat and immediately
contact your SUBARU dealer for an
inspection.

NOTE

When a child who has outgrown a child
restraint system or a small adult is
seated in the front passenger’s seat,
the SUBARU advanced frontal airbag
system may or may not activate the
front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag
depending on the occupant’s seating
posture. Children should always wear a
seatbelt when sitting in the seat irre-
spective of whether the airbag is deac-

tivated or activated. If the front passen-
ger’s SRS frontal airbag is activated
(the ON indicator remains illuminated
while the OFF indicator turns off), take
the following actions.

Ensure that no article is placed on

the seat other than the occupant.

If the ON indicator still remains illumi-
nated while the OFF indicator turns off
despite the fact that the actions noted
above have been taken, seat the child/
small adult in the rear seat and imme-
diately contact your SUBARU dealer for
an inspection. Even if the system has
passed the dealer inspection, it is
recommended that on subsequent trips
the child/small adult always take the
rear seat.

Children who have outgrown a child
restraint system should always wear the
seatbelt irrespective of whether the airbag
is deactivated or activated.

Conditions in which front passen-
ger’s SRS frontal airbag is activated

The front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag
will be activated for deployment upon
impact when any of the following condi-
tions are met regarding the front passen-
ger’s seat.

When the seat is occupied by an adult.

When certain items (e.g. jug of water)

are placed on the seat.

When the front passenger’s seat is occu-
pied by an adult, observe the following
precautions. Failure to do so may lessen
the load on the front passenger’s seat,
deactivating the front passenger’s SRS
frontal airbag despite the fact that the seat
is occupied by an adult. This may result in
personal injury.

Do not allow the rear seat occupant to

lift the front passenger’s seat cushion
using his/her feet.

Do not place any article under the front

passenger’s seat, or squeeze any article
from behind and under the seat. This may
lift the seat cushion.

Do not squeeze any article between the

front passenger’s seat and side trim/pillar,
door or center console box. This may lift
the seat cushion.

straight in the center of the seat cushion,
correctly fasten the seatbelt, position his/
her legs out forward, and adjust the seat to
the rearmost position.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON”
position.

If the OFF indicator remains illuminated
while the ON indicator remains off, take the

following actions.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the “LOCK”/
“OFF” position.
2. Make sure that the front passenger
does not use a blanket, extra seat cushion,
seat cover, extra seat heater or massager,
etc.
3. If wearing excessive layers of clothing,
the front passenger should remove any
unnecessary items before sitting in the
front passenger’s seat, or should sit in a
rear seat.
4. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON”
position and wait 6 seconds to allow the
system to complete self-checking. Follow-
ing the system check, both indicators turn
off for 2 seconds. Now, the ON indicator
should illuminate while the OFF indicator
remains off.

If the OFF indicator still remains illumi-
nated while the ON indicator remains off,
ask the occupant to move to the rear seat
and immediately contact your SUBARU
dealer for an inspection.

SRS Airbag (Supplemental Restraint System Airbag)

(99,1)

Operation

Driver’s side

Passenger’s side

SRS AIRBAGs deploy as soon as a
collision occurs.

After deployment, SRS AIRBAGs start to
deflate immediately so that the driver’s
vision is not obstructed.

The SRS airbags can function only when
the ignition switch is in the “ON” position.

The SUBARU advanced frontal airbag
system is designed to determine the
activation or deactivation condition of the
front passenger’s SRS frontal airbag de-
pending on the characteristic of item(s) or
person on the front passenger’s seat
monitored by the front passenger’s occu-
pant detection sensors. For this reason,
only the driver’s SRS frontal airbag may
deploy in the event of a collision, but this
does not mean failure of the system.

If the following sensors detect a predeter-
mined amount of force during a frontal
collision, the control module sends signals
to the airbag module(s) (only driver’s
module or both driver’s and front passen-
ger’s modules) instructing the module(s) to
inflate the SRS frontal airbag(s).

The front impact sensors

The impact sensors in the airbag

control module

On the driver’s side, the SRS knee airbag
also inflates with the SRS frontal airbag.

The driver’s and front passenger’s SRS
frontal airbags use dual stage inflators.
The two inflators of each airbag are
triggered either sequentially or simulta-
neously, depending on the severity of
impact, in the case of the driver’s SRS
frontal airbag and depending on the
severity of impact and the characteristic
of item(s) or person on the seat in the case
of the front passenger’s SRS frontal air-
bag.

After deployment

After deployment, the SRS airbag imme-
diately starts to deflate so that the driver’s
vision is not obstructed and the driver’s
ability to maintain control of the vehicle is
not impaired. The time required from
detecting impact to the deflation of the
SRS airbag after deployment is shorter
than the blink of an eye.

Both when only the driver’s SRS frontal
airbag deploys and the driver’s and front
passenger’s SRS frontal airbags deploy,
the driver’s and front passenger’s seatbelt
pretensioners operate at the same time.

When the SRS airbag deploys, a sudden,
fairly loud inflation noise will be heard and
some smoke will be released. These
occurrences are a normal result of the
deployment. This smoke does not indicate
a fire in the vehicle.

CAUTION

Do not touch the SRS airbag system
components around the steering
wheel and dashboard with bare
hands right after deployment. Doing
so can cause burns because the
components can be very hot as a
result of deployment.

Example of the type of accident

The driver’s SRS frontal airbag and front
passenger’s SRS frontal airbag are de-
signed as follows.

To deploy in the event of an accident

involving a moderate to severe frontal
collision

To function on a one-time-only basis

The driver’s SRS frontal airbag and front
passenger’s SRS frontal airbag are not
designed as follows.

To deploy in most lesser frontal im-

pacts*

To deploy in most side or rear impacts

or in most rollover accidents*

*1: Because the necessary protection can be

achieved by the seatbelt alone.

*2: Because deployment of only the driver’s

SRS frontal airbag or both the driver’s and
front passenger’s SRS frontal airbags
would not protect the occupant in those
situations.

SRS airbag deployment depends on the
level of force experienced in the passen-
ger compartment during a collision. That
level differs from one type of collision to
another, and it may have no bearing on the
visible damage done to the vehicle itself.

SRS Airbag (Supplemental Restraint System Airbag)

(101,1)

Example of accident in which the
driver’s/driver’s and front pas-
senger’s SRS frontal airbag(s)
will most likely deploy

A head-on collision against a thick con-
crete wall at a vehicle speed of 12 to 19
mph (20 to 30 km/h) or higher activates
only the driver’s SRS frontal airbag or both
driver’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal
airbags. The airbag(s) will also be acti-
vated when the vehicle is exposed to a
frontal impact similar in fashion and
magnitude to the collision described
above.

Examples of the types of acci-
dents in which it is possible that
the driver’s/driver’s and front
passenger’s SRS frontal
airbag(s) will deploy

Only the driver’s SRS frontal airbag or both
driver’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal
airbags may be activated when the vehicle
sustains a hard impact in the undercar-
riage area from the road surface (such as
when the vehicle plunges into a deep ditch,
is severely impacted or knocked hard
against an obstacle on the road such as
a curb).

Examples of the types of accidents in which deployment of the driver’s/driver’s and front passenger’s SRS frontal
airbag(s) is unlikely to occur

The vehicle strikes an object, such as a
telephone pole or sign pole.

The vehicle slides under the load bed of a
truck.

The vehicle sustains an oblique offset
frontal impact.

The vehicle sustains an offset frontal
collision.

The vehicle strikes an object that can
move or deform, such as a parked
vehicle.

There are many types of collisions which
might not necessarily require deployment
of driver’s/driver’s and front passenger’s
SRS frontal airbag(s). In the event of
accidents like those illustrated, the dri-
ver’s/driver’s and front passenger’s SRS
frontal airbag(s) may not deploy depend-
ing on the level of accident forces involved.

(103,1)

Examples of the types of acci-
dents in which the driver’s/dri-
ver’s and front passenger’s SRS
frontal airbag(s) are not de-
signed to deploy in most cases

The driver’s and front passenger’s SRS

frontal airbags are not designed to deploy
in most of the following cases.

If the vehicle is struck from the side or

from behind

If the vehicle rolls onto its side or roof

If the vehicle is involved in a low-speed

frontal collision

First impact

Second impact

In an accident where the vehicle is
impacted more than once, the driver’s
and/or front passenger’s SRS frontal
airbag(s) will deploy only once on the first
impact.

Example: In the case of a double collision,
first with another vehicle, then against a
concrete wall in immediate succession,

once either or both of the driver’s and front
passenger’s SRS frontal airbags is/are
activated on the first impact, it/they will
not be activated on the second impact.

Passenger’s side

WARNING

The SRS seat cushion airbag is
designed not to deploy when the

deactivated.

SRS Side Airbag and SRS
Curtain Airbag

SRS side airbag

The SRS side airbag is stored in the door
side of each front seat seatback, which
bears an “SRS AIRBAG” mark.

SRS curtain airbag

Your vehicle is equipped with a SUBARU
SRS curtain airbag system that complies

with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard (FMVSS) No. 226.
The SRS curtain airbag on each side of the
cabin is stored in the roof side (between
the front pillar and a point over the rear
seat). An “SRS AIRBAG” mark is located
at the top of each center pillar.
In a moderate to severe side impact
collision, the SRS curtain airbag on the
impacted side of the vehicle deploys
between the occupant and the side win-
dow and supplements the seatbelt by
reducing the impact on the occupant’s
head.
In a rollover, SRS curtain airbags on both
sides of the vehicle deploy between the
occupant and the side window and supple-
ment the seatbelt by reducing the impact to
the occupant’s head.

In an offset frontal collision, SRS curtain
airbags on both sides of the vehicle deploy
between the occupant and the side win-
dow and supplement the seatbelt by
reducing the impact to the occupant’s
head and chest.

Operation

The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain
airbag can function only when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position.
