Subaru Forester: Seat, seatbelt and SRS airbags / SRS airbag (Supplemental Restraint System airbag)
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
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.
- Driver’s and front passenger’s frontal
airbags
- Driver’s and front passenger’s side
airbags
- Curtain airbags (for driver, front passenger,
and window-side rear passengers)
- Knee airbag for driver
These SRS airbags are designed only
as a supplement to the primary protection
provided by the seatbelt.
The system also controls seatbelt pretensioners.
For operation instructions and
precautions concerning the seatbelt pretensioner,
refer to “Seatbelt pretensioners”.
WARNING
To obtain maximum protection in
the event of an accident, the
driver and all passengers must
always wear seatbelts when in
the vehicle...
Other information:
Overloading could affect vehicle
handling, stopping distance, and
vehicle and tire performance in the
following ways. This could lead to
an accident and possibly result in
severe personal injury.
Vehicle stability will deteriorate.
Heavy and/or high-mounted loads could increase the risk of
rollover...
WARNING
When you fold down the seatback,
check that there are no
passengers or objects on the rear
seat. Not doing so creates a risk
of injury or property damage if
the seatback suddenly folds
down.
Never allow passengers to ride
on the folded rear seatback or in
the cargo area...
