CAUTION

When you install a child restraint
system, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions supplied with it. After
installing the child restraint system,
check to ensure that it is held
securely in position. If it is not held
tight and secure, the danger of your
child suffering personal injury in the
event of an accident may be in-
creased.

Where to place a child re-
straint system

The following are SUBARU’s recommen-
dations on where to place a child restraint
system in your vehicle.

A: Front passenger’s seat
You should not install a child restraint
system (including a booster seat) due to
the hazard to children posed by the
passenger’s airbag.

B: Rear seat, window-side seating
positions
Recommended positions for all types of
child restraint systems.
In these positions, the following equipment
is provided for installing a child restraint
system.
.

Automatic Locking Retractor/Emer-

gency Locking Retractor (ALR/ELR) seat-
belts
.

Lower anchorages (bars)

Upper anchorages (tether anchorages)

Some types of child restraints might not be
able to be secured firmly due to projection
of the seat cushion.
In this seating position, you should use
only a child restraint system that has a
bottom base that fits snugly against the
contours of the seat cushion and can be
securely retained using the seatbelt.

C: Rear seat, center seating position
The ALR/ELR seatbelt and an upper
anchorage (tether anchorage, if equipped)
are provided in this position.
Some types of child restraints might not be
able to be secured firmly due to projection
of the seat cushion.
In this seating position, you should use
only a child restraint system that has a
bottom base that fits snugly against the
contours of the seat cushion and can be
securely retained using the seatbelt.
When you install a child restraint system in
the rear seat’s center seating position,
raise the center head restraint.
Lower anchorages (bars) for window-side
seating positions may be used for a seat in
the center seating position if a child

restraint system manufacturer’s instruc-
tions permit and specify using anchors as
far apart as those in this vehicle.
If a child restraint system is not correctly
fixed in place (for example, if a child
restraint system can be moved more than
1 inch (2.5 cm) from side to side), you
should install the child restraint system in a
rear seat, window-side seating position.

WARNING

Even with advanced airbags, chil-

dren can be seriously injured by
the airbag. Place children in the
rear seat properly restrained at
all times. The SRS airbag deploys
with considerable speed and
force and can injure or even kill
children, especially if they are not
restrained or improperly re-
strained. Because children are
lighter and weaker than adults,
their risk of being injured from
deployment is greater.

For that reason, be sure to secure
ALL types of child restraint de-
vices (including forward facing
child seats) in the REAR seats at
all times. You should choose a
restraint device which is appro-
priate for the child’s age, height

and weight. According to acci-
dent statistics, children are safer
when properly restrained in the
rear seating positions than in the
front seating positions.

Do not use lower anchorages

(bars) for a seat in the center
seating position unless a child
restraint system manufacturer’s
instructions permit and specify
using anchors spaced as far
apart as those in this vehicle.

Do not connect two or more lower

hooks onto the same anchorage
(bar).

Choosing a child restraint
system

Choose a child restraint system that is
appropriate for the child’s age and size
(weight and height) in order to provide the
child with proper protection. The child
restraint system should meet all applicable
requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards for the United States or
of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
for Canada. It can be identified by looking
for the label on the child restraint system or
the manufacturer’s statement of compli-
ance in the document attached to the
system.
Also it is important for you to make sure
that the child restraint system is compa-
tible with the vehicle in which it will be
used.

Installing child restraint sys-
tems with ALR/ELR seatbelt

CAUTION

When you install a child restraint

system, follow the manufac-
turer’s instructions supplied with
it. After installing the child re-
straint system, check to ensure
that it is held securely in position.
If it is not held tight and secure,
the danger of your child suffering
personal injury in the event of an
accident may be increased.

When installing a child restraint

system in the rear center seating
position, set both seatbacks to
the original position. Otherwise,
the child restraint system cannot
be securely restrained, which
may result in death or serious
injuries in the event of sudden
stop, sudden steering maneuver
or an accident.

The child should sit well back on the
booster seat.
2. Run the lap and shoulder belt through
or around the booster seat and the child

following the instructions provided by its
manufacturer.
3. Insert the tongue plate into the buckle
until you hear a click. Take care not to twist
the seatbelt.
Make sure the shoulder belt is positioned
across the center of child’s shoulder and
that the lap belt is positioned as low as
possible on the child’s hips.

4. To remove the booster seat, press the
release button on the seatbelt buckle and
allow the belt to retract.

WARNING

Never use a belt that is twisted or

reversed. In an accident, this can
increase the risk or severity of
injury to the child.

Never place the shoulder belt

under the child’s arm or behind
the child’s back. If an accident
occurs, this can increase the risk
or severity of injury to the child.

The seatbelt should fit snugly in

order to provide full restraint.
Loose fitting belts are not as
effective in preventing or redu-
cing injury.

Place the lap belt as low as

possible on the child’s hips. A
high-positioned lap belt will in-
crease the risk of sliding under
the lap belt and of the lap belt
sliding up over the abdomen, and
both can result in serious internal
injury or death.

Make sure the shoulder belt is

positioned across the center of
child’s shoulder. Placing the
shoulder belt over the neck may
result in neck injury during sud-
den braking or in a collision.

Installation of child restraint
systems by use of lower and
tether anchorages (LATCH)

Some types of child restraint systems can
be installed on the rear seat of your vehicle
without use of the seatbelts. Such child
restraint systems are secured to the
designated anchorages provided on the
vehicle body. The lower and tether an-
chorages are sometimes referred to as the
LATCH system (Lower Anchors and
Tethers for CHildren).

Your vehicle is equipped with four lower
anchorages (bars) and three upper an-
chorages (tether anchorages) for accom-
modating such child restraint systems.

The lower anchorages (bars) are used for
installing a child restraint system only in

the rear seat window-side seating posi-
tions. For each window-side seating posi-
tion, two lower anchorages are provided.
Each lower anchorage is located behind
the cover of the seatback bottom.

The tether anchorages (upper an-
chorages) are provided at the locations
shown in the above illustration. For details,
refer to “Top tether anchorages” F1-32.

To install a child restraint system using
lower and tether anchorages, perform the
following procedure.

WARNING

Before installing a child restraint
system, be sure to confirm that the
seatback is securely locked into
place. Otherwise, in an accident,

serious injury or death could result.

1. Shake the seatback to confirm that it is
securely locked into place.

– Check the red colored unlocking
marker which is attached to the bottom
of the lock release knob is not visible.
For details, refer to “Folding down the
rear seatback” F1-10.

2. You will find marks “

” at the bottom of

the rear seat seatbacks. These marks
indicate the positions of the lower an-
chorages (bars).

Remove the covers and locate the lower
anchorages (bars).
3. Remove the rear seat head restraint.
For details, refer to “Head restraint adjust-
ment” F1-8.

CAUTION

4. While following the instructions sup-
plied by the child restraint system manu-
facturer, connect the lower hooks onto the
lower anchorages located at “

” marks on

the bottom of the rear seatback. When the
hooks are connected, make sure the
adjacent seatbelts are not caught.

5. [If your child restraint system is of a
flexible attachment type (which uses tether
belts to connect the child restraint system
properly to the lower anchorages)]
While pushing the child restraint into the
seat cushion, pull both left and right lower
tether belts up to secure the child restraint
system firmly by taking up the slack in the
belt.
6. Latch the top tether hook onto the
tether anchorage that is located on the rear
shelf and tighten the top tether firmly. For
additional instructions, refer to “Top tether
anchorages” F1-32.

7. Before seating a child in the child
restraint system, try to move it back and
forth and right and left to verify that it is held
securely in position.
8. To remove the child restraint system,
follow the reverse procedures of installa-
tion.

If you have any question concerning this
type of child restraint system, ask your
SUBARU dealer.

Top tether anchorages

Your vehicle is equipped with three top
tether anchorages so that a child restraint
system having a top tether can be installed
in the rear seat. When installing a child
restraint system using top tether, proceed
as follows, while observing the instructions
by the child restraint system manufacturer.

Since a top tether can provide additional
stability by offering another connection
between a child restraint system and the
vehicle, we recommend that you use a top
tether whenever one is required or avail-
able.

Please contact your SUBARU dealer if you
have any question regarding the installa-
tion of a child restraint system.

*SRS airbag (Supplemental
Restraint System airbag)

*SRS: This stands for supplemental re-
straint system. This name is used because
the airbag system supplements the vehi-
cle’s seatbelts.

Your vehicle is equipped with a supple-
mental restraint system in addition to a lap/
shoulder belt at each front seating position
and each rear window-side seating posi-
tions. The supplemental restraint system
(SRS) consists of the following airbags:
.

Driver’s and front passenger’s frontal

airbags
.

Driver’s and front passenger’s side

airbags
.

Curtain airbags (for driver, front pas-

senger, and window-side rear passen-
gers)
.

Knee airbag for driver

These SRS airbags are designed only
as a supplement to the primary protec-
tion provided by the seatbelt.
The system also controls front seatbelt
pretensioners. For operation instructions
and precautions concerning the seatbelt
pretensioner, refer to “Front seatbelt pre-
tensioners” F1-17.

General precautions regard-
ing SRS airbag system

WARNING

To obtain maximum protection in

the event of an accident, the
driver and all passengers must
always wear seatbelts when in
the vehicle. The SRS airbag is
designed only to be a supplement
to the primary protection pro-
vided by the seatbelt. It does not
eliminate the need to fasten seat-
belts. In combination with the
seatbelts, it offers the best com-
bined protection in case of a
serious accident.

Not wearing a seatbelt increases
the chance of severe injury or
death in a crash even when the
vehicle has the SRS airbag.

For instructions and precautions
concerning the seatbelt system,
refer to “Seatbelts” F1-12.

The SRS side airbag and SRS

curtain airbag are designed only
to be a supplement to the primary
protection provided by the seat-
belt. They do not eliminate the
need to fasten seatbelts. It is also
important to wear your seatbelt to

help avoid injuries that can result
when an occupant is not seated
in a proper upright position.

WARNING

The SRS airbags deploy with

considerable speed and force.
Occupants who are out of proper
position when the SRS airbag
deploys could suffer very serious
injuries. Because the SRS airbag
needs enough space for deploy-
ment, the driver should always sit
upright and well back in the seat
as far from the steering wheel as
practical while still maintaining
full vehicle control and the front
passenger should move the seat

as far back as possible and sit
upright and well back in the seat.

WARNING

Do not sit or lean unnecessarily

close to either front door. The
SRS side airbags are stored in
both front seat seatbacks next to
the door, and they provide pro-
tection by deploying rapidly (fas-
ter than the blink of an eye) in the
event of a side impact or frontal
collision. However, the force of
SRS side airbag deployment may
cause injuries if your head or
other parts of the body are too
close to the SRS side airbag.

(65,1)

北米Model "A1720BE-A" EDITED: 2018/ 3/ 9

Since your vehicle is equipped

with SRS curtain airbags, do not
sit or lean unnecessarily close to
the front or rear door on either
side. Also, do not put your head,
arms or hands out of the window.
The SRS curtain airbags on both
sides of the cabin are stored in
the roof side (between the front
pillar and a point behind the rear
quarter glass), and they provide
protection by deploying rapidly
(faster than the blink of an eye) in
the event of a side impact, roll-
over or an offset frontal collision.
However, the force of its deploy-
ment may cause injuries if your
head is too close to it.

Do not sit or lean unnecessarily

close to the SRS airbag. Because
the SRS airbag deploys with
considerable speed – faster than
the blink of an eye – and force to
protect in high speed collisions,
the force of an airbag can injure
an occupant whose body is too
close to SRS airbag.

It is also important to wear your
seatbelt to help avoid injuries
that can result when the SRS
airbag contacts an occupant not
in proper position such as one

thrown forward during pre-acci-
dent braking.

Even when properly positioned,
there remains a possibility that
an occupant may suffer minor
injury such as abrasions and
bruises to the face or arms be-
cause of the SRS airbag deploy-
ment force.

WARNING

Do not rest your arm on either

front door or its internal trim. You
could be injured in the event of
SRS side airbag deployment.

Do not place any objects over or

near the SRS airbag cover or

between you and the SRS airbag.
If the SRS airbag deploys, these
objects could interfere with its
proper operation and could be
propelled inside the vehicle,
causing injury.

CAUTION

When the SRS airbag deploys,

some smoke will be released.
This smoke could cause breath-
ing problems for people with a
history of asthma or other breath-
ing trouble. If you or your pas-
sengers have breathing pro-
blems after SRS airbag deploys,
get fresh air promptly.

A deploying SRS airbag releases

hot gas. Occupants could get
burned if they come into direct
contact with the hot gas.

NOTE

When you sell your vehicle, we urge

you to inform the buyer that the vehicle
is equipped with SRS airbags. Also,
notify the buyer of the applicable sec-
tion of this Owner’s Manual.
.

If the SRS airbag deploys, fuel

supply will be cut off to reduce the risk

General precautions regard-
ing SRS airbag system for
accessories and any objects

Do not put any objects over/under the
following parts.
1)

Over the steering wheel pad

Over the dashboard

Under the driver’s side of the instrument
panel

WARNING

Do not put any objects (including

straps or cords) over the steering
wheel pad, column cover, or
dashboard.

– These objects could be en-

tangled with the steering
wheel, preventing the SRS
frontal airbag, etc. from oper-
ating properly.

– If the SRS frontal airbag de-

ploys, these objects could be
propelled inside the vehicle,
causing injury.

Do not put any objects under the

driver’s side of the instrument
panel. If the SRS knee airbag

deploys, those objects could in-
terfere with its proper operation
and could be propelled inside the
vehicle, causing injury.

The key must not be attached to

heavy, sharp or hard acces-
sories, or another key. If the SRS
knee airbag deploys, those ob-
jects could interfere with its
proper operation and could be
propelled inside the vehicle and
cause injury.

WARNING

Do not attach accessories to the
windshield, or fit an extra-wide mir-
ror over the inside rear view mirror. If
the SRS airbag deploys, those ob-
jects could become projectiles that
could seriously injure vehicle occu-
pants.

WARNING

Do not attach accessories to the

door trim or near either SRS side
airbags and do not place objects
near the SRS side airbags. In the
event of SRS side airbag deploy-
ment, they could be propelled
dangerously toward the vehicle’s
occupants and cause injuries.

Do not attach a hands-free micro-

phone or any other accessory to
a front pillar, a center pillar, a rear
pillar, the windshield, a side win-
dow, an assist grip, or any other
cabin surface that would be near
a deploying SRS curtain airbag. A
hands-free microphone or other
accessory in such a location
could be propelled through the
cabin with great force by the
curtain airbag, or it could prevent
correct deployment of the curtain
airbag. In either case, the result
could be serious injuries.

WARNING

Do not hang coat hangers or other
hard or pointed objects on the coat
hooks. If such items were hanging
on the coat hooks during deploy-
ment of the SRS curtain airbags,
they could cause serious injuries by
coming off the coat hooks and being
thrown through the cabin or by
preventing deployment of the cur-
tain airbags.

Before hanging clothing on the coat
hooks, make sure there are no sharp
objects in the pockets. Hang cloth-
ing directly on the coat hooks with-
out using hangers.

WARNING

Do not put any kind of clothes or

other objects over either front
seatback and do not attach labels
or stickers to the front seat sur-
face on or near the SRS side
airbag. They could prevent prop-
er deployment of the SRS side
airbag, reducing protection avail-
able to the front seat’s occupant.

Do not install a seat cover unless

it is a genuine SUBARU seat
cover exclusively designed for
use with the SRS airbag. Even
when using a genuine SUBARU
seat cover, the SRS side airbag
system may not function nor-

mally if the seat cover is not
installed correctly.

General precautions regard-
ing SRS airbag system for
children

WARNING

Place children in the rear seat prop-
erly restrained at all times. The SRS
airbag deploys with considerable
speed and force and can injure or
even kill children, especially if they
are not restrained or improperly
restrained. Because children are
lighter and weaker than adults, their
risk of being injured from deploy-

ment is greater.

For that reason, we strongly recom-
mend that ALL children (including
those in child seats and those that
have outgrown child restraint de-
vices) sit in the REAR seat properly
restrained at all times in a child
restraint device or in a seatbelt,
whichever is appropriate for the
child’s age, height and weight.

Secure ALL types of child restraint
devices (including forward facing
child seats) in the REAR seats at all
times.

According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating posi-
tions than in the front seating posi-
tions.

For instructions and precautions
concerning the child restraint sys-
tem, refer to “Child restraint sys-
tems” F1-21.
