Other information:
Your vehicle is equipped with a SUBARU
advanced frontal airbag system that complies
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 deployment
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...
NOTE
When the vehicle is stopped and the
driver’s door is opened and closed, the
Driver Monitoring System automatically
turns ON regardless of the pushbutton
ignition switch status.
After the Driver Monitoring System
was turned OFF, if the Driver Monitoring
System is turned ON while the driver’s
door is open, user recognition may not
occur correctly...
