cator illuminates and the OFF indicator extin-
guishes even when an infant or a small child is
in a child restraint system (including booster

Turn the ignition switch to the “OFF” position if the
front passenger’s frontal airbag ON indicator illumi-
nates and the OFF indicator extinguishes even when
an infant or a small child is in a child restraint system
(including booster seat). Remove the child restraint
system from the seat. By referring to the child restraint
manufacturer’s recommendations as well as the child
restraint system installation procedures in the “Child
restraint systems” section in this chapter, correctly in-
stall the child restraint system. Turn the ignition switch
to the “ON” position and make sure that the front pas-
senger’s frontal airbag ON indicator goes out and the
OFF indicator comes on.
If still the ON indicator illuminates while the OFF indi-
cator extinguishes, take the following actions.
"
Ensure that no article is placed on the seat other
than the child restraint system and the child occupant.
"
Ensure that there is no article left in the seatback
pocket.
"
Ensure that the backward-forward position and
seatback of front passenger’s seat are locked into
place securely by moving the seat back and forth.
(Models equipped with manual seats only)
If the ON indicator still illuminates while the OFF indi-
cator extinguishes after taking relevant corrective ac-
tions described above, relocate the child restraint sys-
tem to the rear seat and immediately contact your
SUBARU dealer for an inspection.
NOTE
When a child who has outgrown a child restraint
system or a small adult is seated in the front pas-
senger’s seat, the Subaru advanced frontal airbag
system may or may not activate the front passen-
ger’s SRS frontal airbag depending on the occu-
pant’s seating posture. If the front passenger’s
SRS frontal airbag is activated (the ON indicator il-
luminates while the OFF indicator extinguishes),
