WARNING
If the warning light exhibits any of the following conditions, there may be a malfunction in the seatbelt pretensioners and/or SRS airbag system. Immediately take your vehicle to your nearest SUBARU dealer to have the system checked. Unless checked and properly repaired, the seatbelt pretensioners and/or SRS airbags will operate improperly (e.g. SRS airbags may inflate in a very minor collision or not inflate in a severe collision), which may increase the risk of injury.
● Flashing or flickering of the warning light
● No illumination of the warning light when the ignition switch is first turned to the “ON” position
● Continuous illumination of the warning light
● Illumination of the warning light while driving
