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”.
