Subaru Forester: Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags / SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System airbag)

name is used because the airbag system
supplements the vehicle’s seatbelts.
This vehicle is equipped with a supplemental
restraint system which consists of
seven airbags.
The configurations are as follows.
