position.
The following components are monitored by the indi-
cator:
y Front sub sensor (Right hand side)
y Front sub sensor (Left hand side)
y Airbag control module (including impact sensors)
y Seatbelt pretensioner (driver’s side)
y Seatbelt pretensioner (Passenger’s side)
y All related wiring
y And all other airbag components
In the event of a malfunction indicated by any of follow-
ing, the vehicle should be taken promptly to your near-
est SUBARU dealer to have the system checked.
Unless checked and repaired, the seatbelt pretension-
ers and SRS airbag will not function reliably:
y Flashing or flickering of the indicator light.
y No illumination of the warning light when the ignition
switch is first turned to the “ON” position.
y Continuous illumination of the warning light.
y Illumination of the warning light while driving.
System servicing
y When discarding a seatbelt retractor assem-
bly or scrapping the entire car damaged by a
collision, consult your SUBARU dealer.
y Tampering with or disconnecting the sys-
tem’s wiring could result in accidental activa-
tion of the seatbelt pretensioner and/or SRS
airbag or could make the system inoperative,
which may result in serious injury. The wiring
harnesses of the seatbelt pretensioner and SRS
airbag systems are covered with yellow insula-
tion and the connectors of the system are yel-
low for easy identification. Do not use electrical
test equipment on any circuit related to the
seatbelt pretensioner and SRS airbag systems.
For required servicing of the seatbelt preten-
sioner, see your nearest SUBARU dealer.
The front sub sensors are located near the bot-
tom of the radiator and the SRS airbag control
module including the impact sensors is located
under the center console. If you need service or
repair in those areas or near the front seatbelt
retractors, we recommend that you have an au-
thorized SUBARU dealer perform the work.
