To avoid accidental activation of the system or rendering the system inoperative, which may result in serious injury, no modifications should be made to any components or wiring of the SRS airbag system.
This includes the following modifications.
- Installation of custom steering
wheels
- Attachment of additional trim
materials to the dashboard

leather on the front seat

or any other accessory
to a front pillar, a center pillar, a
rear pillar, the windshield, a side

other cabin surface that would be
near a deploying SRS curtain
airbag
- Installation of additional electrical/
electronic equipment such as
a mobile two-way radio on or
near the SRS airbag system
components and/or wiring is not
advisable. This could interfere
with proper operation of the
SRS airbag system.
Do not perform any of the following modifications. Such modifications can interfere with proper operation of the SRS airbag system.
- Attachment of any equipment (bush bar, winches, snow plow, skid plate, etc.) other than genuine SUBARU accessory parts to the front end.
