Subaru Forester: Interior equipment / Under-floor storage compartment (if equipped)
NOTE
The shape of the storage compartment
may be different depending on the
model.

The storage compartment is located under
the floor of the cargo area and can be used
to store small items. Pull the strap to open
the center part of the cargo floor lid, and
then remove the lid.
CAUTION
- Always keep the lid of the storage
compartment closed while driving
to reduce the risk of injury in
the event of sudden stop or an
accident.
- Do not store spray cans, containers
with flammable or corrosive
liquids or any other dangerous
items in the storage compartment.
Other information:
CAUTION
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 SRS side airbag and SRS curtain
airbag are designed as follows:
To deploy in the event of an accident
involving a moderate to severe side impact
collision
To function on a one-time-only basis
The SRS side airbag and SRS curtain
airbag are not designed to deploy in the
following cases:
In most lesser side impacts
In most frontal or most rear impacts
(because the SRS side airbag and SRS
curtain airbag deployment would not protect
the occupant in those situations)
The SRS curtain airbags are also designed
to deploy when the vehicle is in an
extremely inclined state such as during a
rollover...
