. Never attempt to make modifica-

tions or changes that will prevent

the seatbelt from operating prop-

erly.

Front seatbelt pretensioners

The driver’s and front passenger’s seat-

belts have a seatbelt pretensioner. The

seatbelt pretensioners for the driver’s seat

and front passenger’s seat operate at the

same time as the frontal, and side SRS

airbags. If the vehicle rolls over, they

operate simultaneously with the curtain

airbag.

The front and side airbag sensors and the

rollover sensor are used as the preten-

sioner sensors. If a sensor detec ts a

certain predetermined amount of force

during a frontal collision, a side impact

collision or a rollover collision, the front

seatbelt is quickly drawn back in by the

retractor to take up the slack so that the

belt more effectively restrains the front

seat occupant.

When a seatbelt pretensioner is activated,

an operating noise will be heard and a

small amount of smoke will be released.

These occurrences are normal and not

harmful. This smoke does not indicate a

fire in the vehicle.

Once the seatbelt pretensioner has been

activated, the seatbelt retractor remains

locked. Consequently, the seatbelt can not

be pulled out and retracted and therefore

must be replaced.

NOTE

. Seatbelt pretensioners are not de-

signed to activate in minor frontal or

side impacts or in rear impacts.

. The driver’s seat and passenger’s

seat pretensioners and frontal, side or

curtain SRS airbags operate simulta-

neously.

. Pretensioners are designed to func-

tion on a one-time-only basis. In the

event that a pretensioner is activated,

both the driver’s and front passenger’s

seatbelt retractor assemblies must be

replaced only by an authorized

SUBARU dealer. When replacing seat-

belt retractor assemblies, use only

genuine SUBARU parts.
