The general information

The seat should be established in the position, providing to the driver the maximum comfort at management of pedals, a steering wheel and switches on the panel of devices. Besides, should be provided the good review through a windscreen and reliability of fixing of a body of the driver with a seat belt. Elements of management are located by seat position in front under a pillow (the lever of adjustment of position of a seat in a longitudinal direction) and from pillow lateral aspect (the lever of adjustment of an inclination of a back, and two handles of adjustment of position of a pillow).

Adjustment of seats should be made prior to the beginning of movement.

Application of any pillows and the other subjects enclosed on a pillow or a back of a seat is not supposed.

Remember that the excessive inclination of a back of a seat in an essential measure reduces efficiency of functioning of a seat belt!

Adjustment of position of a seat in a longitudinal direction

Adjustment of position of a seat in a longitudinal direction.

Pull on itself located in front under полушкой seats a control lever and shift seat assemblage in demanded position. Having finished adjustment, release the lever and make sure of reliability of fixing of a seat, подвигав it forward-back at the released lever.


Adjustment of an inclination of a back of a seat

For the purpose of increase of efficiency of functioning of elements of safety (belts and pillows) backs of forward seats during movement should be in vertical position!


The lever of adjustment of an inclination of a back of a seat.

Pull upwards the lock lever and reject a seat back in demanded position. Back fixing is made automatically at release the lever.


The mechanism of regulation of an inclination of a back of a seat is supplied by a spring which at procrastination of the lock lever returns a back in vertical position. At lever procrastination nestle a back on a back of a seat or hold with her hand.

Adjustment of height of a seat (only a driver's seat)

Adjustment of height of position of a pillow of a driver's seat

1 — the Handle of adjustment of position of back edge of a pillow
2 — the Handle of adjustment of position of a first line of a pillow

 


Adjustment of height of position of a first line of a pillow of a driver's seat can be made by means of the rotating handle located in a forward part of an external lateral wall of a pillow. Directly behind the first handle the rotating handle of adjustment of height of position of back edge of a pillow of a driver's seat is located.

Adjustment of height of position of headrests

Correct position of a headrest.

The headrest should be established so that its central part settled down at level of an upper edge of an ear sitting.

Efficiency of functioning of a headrest is defined by its correctness регулриовки and appreciably decreases at making between a back sitting and a back of a seat of any pillows!

For headrest lowering it is necessary to wring out the clamp button.

The headrest raising is made by вытягивания it from directing in a seat back. For headrest lowering press on it downwards, simultaneously wringing out the button отпускания a clamp. Having finished adjustment, release the button and make sure of reliability of fixing of a headrest.


Armrest (if it is provided)

On some models the forward seats equipped with a folding armrest are established.


The armrest falls and rises manually for the first line.

Armrest lowering/podnimanie is made manually.

Пропускание a seat belt over an armrest leads to decrease in efficiency of protection provided with a belt!


Heating (if it is provided)

Functioning

Site of switches of management of heating of forward seats (at a corresponding complete set of the car)


On in appropriate way the equipped models switches of management are located by heating of forward seats on console assemblage, to the right of the lever of a drive of a lay brake and are equipped by the built in display lamps.

For heating inclusion translate the corresponding switch in position LO (normal intensity of heating) or HI (the raised intensity of heating).

Safety measures

In avoidance подсадки the storage battery should be avoided heating inclusion on occupied with the passenger of a seat. For the same reason include mode HI of a heater only quickly for the accelerated warming up of a pillow, then translate the switch in position LO.

Do not put on the seats equipped with heating elements heavy things and sharp subjects. Do not cover a pillow with blankets, plaids, etc.

Do not use for cleaning of the seats equipped with heating elements benzene, gasoline, spirit or other organic solvents.

At проливании on a seat of water or another a liquid before to include heating of a seat wait full drying of a moisture.

Immediately switch off heating at occurrence of the slightest signs of infringement of serviceability of functioning of elements of system.

Back seat

Lowering/podnimanie of lateral sections of a back

For lowering of lateral backs of a back seat in horizontal position it is necessary to wring out buttons of clamps


Lateral sections of a back of a back seat can be lowered in an individual order in horizontal position. For lowering of a clamp of a back it is necessary to extend the corresponding button located from lateral aspect of a headrest.

For return of a back to a starting position simply lift and press to защелкивания a clamp.

Possibility of lowering of backs of a back seat allows to transport in case of need in the car lengthy subjects.

Adjustment of headrests

Car driving at the removed headrests is interfaced to the raised risk травмирования the driver/passengers in case of failure!

Remember that headrests of a back seat differ on a design from lobbies, - the error at installation of headrests appreciably raises probability of reception of a trauma!

Headrests serve for danger reduction травмирования cervical department of a backbone of the driver/passenger at blows in a car back.

Efficiency of functioning of a headrest is defined by its correctness регулриовки and appreciably decreases at making between a back sitting and a back of a seat of any pillows!

Adjustment of position of headrests of back seats is made as well as on forward seats (see above).

Headrest removal is made by its extraction from directing in a seat back at the wrung out button of a clamp. For headrest installation in the beginning be convinced that it is developed in a correct direction then insert it into a seat back, pressing thus the button of adjustment of height, as shown arrows. Make sure that the button of adjustment of height is located correctly, as is shown in drawing, and pull a headrest upwards to be convinced that it does not leave a seat back.

Seat belts

The general information

All being in the car during movement people should be fastened seat belts.

Seat belts of forward seats are equipped automatic emergency натяжителями. The using order such belts is similar to an order of using belts of a usual design. More in detail the principle of functioning emergency натяжителей is considered more low in corresponding subsection.

Use of one seat belt for пристегивания more than one person is not supposed.

The lumbar section of a belt should settle down at level of hips, covering a coxofemoral joint sitting, as the strongest element of a skeleton of the person.

The humeral section of a belt should not be passed under the arm or be imposed on a neck of the sitting.

Watch, that the belt has not been overwound.

Remember that peak efficiency of action of a seat belt is reached in vertical position of a back of a seat. The excessive inclination of a back increases probability проскальзывания sitting at blow under a belt.

Seat belts have three анкерных the points one of which is equipped by the inertial returnable device with automatic blocking at jerks. Belts of this kind do not require adjustment of length.

At installation of a special children's seat it is necessary to translate a seat belt in a condition of constant blocking by full вытягивания it from the returnable device. Keeping it in the extended condition, fix it a children's seat, operating according to instructions of the manufacturer of the last. After защелкивания buckles a belt surplus of length of a belt will be winded on a drum of the returnable device and will be blocked, having provided reliable fixing of a children's seat.

For return of a belt to a usual operating mode remove a special children's seat and allow the returnable device to wind a belt on the inertial drum.

Instructions for use seat belts

Slowly extend a belt from the returnable device, throw it through a shoulder and latch скобу belt buckles in the lock, then pull for a strap of humeral section upwards, checking reliability of fixing скобы in the lock. Make sure that the belt strap is not overwound, - the overwound belt in itself is dangerous.

As much as possible lower zone section of a belt, having placed it as it is possible more low on hips. Having pulled for humeral section, choose a weak point and try to achieve dense прилегания a belt to a body, - in case of need tighten a belt in appropriate way (see an illustration). The strap should pass through a thorax sitting on a diagonal so that loading at blow had basically on the strongest top part of a torso.

The scornful relation to application of seat belts is fraught with reception of serious traumas in case of road and transport incident.

The driver of a vehicle, having fastened by the seat belt, should check, that all passengers also have been properly fastened.

Correct position of zone section of a belt will provide the most safe repayment of inertia of a body at failure, keeping it for strong bones of a coxofemoral joint.

If the humeral section of a belt appears laid too low and the strap passes through a shoulder of a hand sitting, it is necessary to correct position top анкерного belt fastenings on a car rack. Press the button of a clamp and shift fastening upwards or downwards on built in in a rack directing, achieving correct position of humeral section of a belt concerning a neck. Fastening has four fixed positions.

At all do not pass humeral section of a belt near at hand and do not get it for a back, is it can appear it is fraught with the most serious consequences at failure!

Incorrectly functioning seat belt cannot provide appropriate protection of the driver/passenger in case of road and transport incident. Wrong using belts is inadmissible involves serious risk of reception of traumas, damages and even a lethal outcome. In the absence of confidence of correctness of adjustments, charge to experts of a car repair shop of company Subaru how to carry out check of functioning of seat belts. The additional information on seat belts on the car is presented more low.

The information on seat belts is additional

Diagonalno-zone seat belt

The scheme of a lining and way of fastening of a seat belt of a diagonalno-zone design

To unfasten a belt, press the red button with inscription PRESS which is located on the case of the lock of a buckle. At taking - up of a belt by a drum of the returnable device it is necessary to hold it for скобу buckles. After an exit from the car check up, that the belt has not got to a doorway and it has not appeared is clamped at захлопывании by last.


Belts of a diagonalno-zone design are equipped with the returnable device of the inertial type which drum, automatically chooses a weak point of straps and constantly supports a small preliminary tension of the belt pressed to a body. Inertial belts practically does not constrain movements of the person fastened by them and allows it to change a pose to a seat easily. At road and transport incident or sharp braking of the car the returnable device automatically blocks a seat belt, providing fixing of a body from dangerous movings.

Used on considered models of cars diagonalno-zone seat belts on all seats, except lobbies, are supplied by the additional clamps providing possibility of reliable fixing of special children's seats. More detailed information on this point in question can be received on firm car repair shops of company Subaru.

At sharp вытягивании humeral section of a belt the fixing mechanism of the returnable device is put in action. The drum blocks a belt, excepting possibility of dangerous moving of the passenger.

Automatic emergency натяжители seat belts

On some models for the purpose of maintenance of additional protection of the driver/passenger forward seat belts are supplied by devices which at operation provide an automatic tension of belts that helps to exclude possibility of dangerous movings of the driver and the passenger in case of road and transport incident.

Operation automatic emergency натяжителей occurs at the directed overloads arising during a strong head-on collision. Emission of forward pillows of safety is simultaneously made.

At operation of the device the seat belt remains in the tense position until скоба its buckles will not be taken out from the lock of last.

Inclusion of a control lamp of systems of additional safety (SRS) warns the driver about possible malfunctions in devices automatic emergency натяжителей belts.

System of additional safety (SRS)

The scheme of an arrangement of typical components SRS

1 — the Module of management with the built in control gauges
2 — the Module of a driver's pillow of safety
3 — the Module of a passenger pillow of safety
4 — the Left forward gauge of the directed overloads
5 — the Right forward gauge of the directed overloads

6 — the Module of the left lateral pillow of safety
7 — the Module of the right lateral pillow of safety
8 — the Gauge of the directed overloads of the left lateral pillow of safety
9 — the Gauge of the directed overloads of the right lateral pillow of safety
10 — Connecting electroconducting SRS (yellow colour of isolation)


Into number of devices and the components forming system of additional safety (SRS) enter:

    a) Two forward pillows of safety. The module of a driver's pillow of safety is placed in a steering wheel nave. The pillow of safety of the forward passenger is placed in a special cavity in the right part of the panel of devices of the car. The locations of both pillows are marked by precautionary inscriptions “SRS AIRBAG”;
    b) the Gauges of the directed overloads working at strong front/lateral blow;
    c) Electronic system of self-diagnostics which at the included ignition provides constant testing of gauges of overloads, the management block, газогенераторов pillows and connecting electroconducting corresponding цепе;
    d) Devices of an automatic emergency tension of seat belts of forward seats (if are provided);
    e) the Control lamp of refusals SRS, built in in the panel of devices;
    f) the Spare independent power supply intended for duplication of the basic power supply system in case of its exit out of operation at collision of the car.

Principle of functioning of forward pillows of safety

At all do not transport children of younger age on a forward seat equipped with a passenger pillow of safety of the car! Told concerns as well installation on a forward seat of a special children's seat.

Gauges of the directed overloads react to excess of some limiting value which can arise at a strong head-on collision. On a signal of gauges the management block includes газогенераторы safety pillows, causing their instant filling.

The scheme of operation of forward pillows of safety



During collision the seat belt keeps from displacement the bottom part of a trunk sitting. Forward pillows of safety help to prevent травмирование the driver and the forward passenger as a result of blow by their head and a thorax about a steering wheel/panel of devices. Right after pillow operations are blown off, keeping the driver the adequate review.

As signals on operation of both pillows of safety arrive from the same gauges, both pillows work simultaneously. However, the probability инициации only is not excluded by one of pillows. Such becomes possible when the size of the directed overloads which have arisen at collision was on the verge of an operation range газогенераторов. In this case seat belts provide reliable enough protection of the driver and the forward passenger while the effect from operation of a pillow of safety will be minimum.

Right after operation and performance by pillows of the functions gas from them is issued that allows the driver to keep visibility and freely to manipulate all controls the car.

Full duration of process from the moment of giving of a signal before release of gas from pillows occupies with gauges of overloads fractions of a second. Operation of pillows occurs so quickly that the human ear simply is not capable to apprehend a clap газогенераторов at filling of pillows.

After road and transport incident at which there was an operation of pillows of safety, the volume of salon of the car looks slightly filled with smoke. Actually it is a suspension тонкодисперсного a powder by which covers of pillows in the combined condition are usually poured. People with disease of respiratory organs can feel certain discomfort from the gaseous products containing in air allocated газогенераторами of pillows.

Order of functioning of a control lamp of refusals SRS

Control lamp SRS is built in in an instrument guard of the car and intended for the prevention of the driver about revealed by system of self-diagnostics refusals in system of additional system of safety. On some updatings of the car operation of a control lamp testifies to possible malfunctions in blocks of lateral pillows of safety or devices of an automatic emergency tension of seat belts.

At ignition inclusion (the ignition key will turn in position “ON” [2]) the control lamp lights up for short time, then at once dies away that confirms about serviceability of functioning of all knots of system.

At any operation of a control lamp during any other moment the owner of the car should address at the first possibility for the help to experts of a car repair shop of company Subaru. The following concerns number of such situations:

    a) the Control lamp does not join at ignition key turn in position ON (2);
    b) the Control lamp continues to burn after realisation of start of the engine;
    c) the Control lamp has joined and burns in a constant or blinking mode during car movement.

In the presence of listed above malfunction signs the additional system of safety can refuse at car failure.

The scornful relation to signals of control lamp SRS can lead to the most serious consequences at refusal of pillows of safety during road and transport incident

Lateral pillows of safety

On some models as an additional complete set lateral pillows of safety of the driver and the forward passenger can be established. Modules of pillows are built in in external end faces of backs of forward seats. The locations of both lateral pillows are marked by inscriptions “SIDE AIRBAG”. Control lamp SRS on an instrument guard of the car works also at revealing of malfunctions in chains инициации lateral pillows.

The scheme of operation of lateral pillows of safety (right after operations the pillow is blown off)

At strong lateral blow gauges of the directed overloads fix excess by arising loadings of some threshold value and give out an information signal on the block of management which develops a command on operations газогенератора a corresponding lateral pillow of safety. Thus, if blow has had from outside a passenger seat, the passenger lateral pillow will work even in the absence of the passenger on a forward seat.

For maintenance of the greatest efficiency of protection which is provided with safety pillows, the driver and the passenger sitting on a forward seat, should sit directly and to be fastened seat belts.

Seat belts with automatic emergency натяжителями

On some models seat belts of forward seats can be equipped automatic emergency натяжителями. Натяжители are put in action at the strong face-to-face overloads arising at a head-on collision, and provide instant sample of a weak point of belts therefore tapes of the last densely cover a body sitting, in much degree raising degree of protection of the driver and the forward passenger.

Seat belt with automatic emergency натяжителем.

Натяжитель () it is built in in assemblage of the returnable mechanism of a belt. The using order such seat belts is similar to an using order the usual belts equipped with inertial returnable devices. The operation mechanism натяжителя is absolutely transparent for the user and does not demand from the last any additional skills and knowledge.


Activation натяжителей occurs only at considerable face-to-face overloads. Operation of modules is accompanied by a loud clap and small дымообразованием.

Allocated at operation натяжителей the smoke is safe for health of the person, however at direct inhalation can cause irritation of mucous membranes.

It is necessary to notice that operation refusals натяжителей at a head-on collision in most cases speak not malfunction of system, and that overloads arising at blow do not reach threshold value at which activation of modules is made.

As well as in case of safety pillows, modules emergency натяжителей are calculated on unitary operation and after that are subject to replacement in gathering with belts, - address on firm car repair shops of company Subaru. All claims concerning refusals of components SRS In the same place are accepted.

Maintenance service of elements SRS

Pillows of safety and the device of an automatic emergency tension of seat belts, practically do not require regular checks and maintenance service. However the owner of the vehicle equipped in appropriate way should have in view of following the moments:

    a) After operation of pillows of safety they are subject to obligatory replacement together with the block of management of system. Do not try to dismantle fulfilled pillows independently. These operations should be carried out only in the conditions of a car-care centre workshop;
    b) If operation of control lamp SRS specifies in refusal presence in system, it is necessary to address immediately on the nearest car repair shop of company Subaru where full diagnostics and necessary regenerative repair of system will be made. Otherwise safety pillows can not work at road and transport incident and not execute the protective function;
    c) To works with knots of additional system of safety specially trained personnel is supposed only. It is forbidden to dismantle independently from the car of a pillow of safety and emergency натяжители seat belts. In default SRS or after emergency operation of pillows of safety and натяжителей seat belts it is necessary to address on a car repair shop of company Subaru for carrying out of repair or replacement of knots of system;
    d) do not open modules and do not change electroconducting of systems of pillows of safety and devices of an automatic emergency tension of seat belts, - such intervention can lead to involuntary operation of pillows and натяжителей and be at the bottom травмирования of the executor or people being nearby;
    e) do not make replacement of forward seats without reception of preliminary consultation on company Subaru car repair shop. Inaccurate or incorrect performance of replacement or removal of covers can lead to refusal of operation of lateral pillows of safety in case of road and transport incident.

By car transfer to other person it is necessary to inform without fail the last on all established elements SRS with instructions of corresponding points of the instruction on rules of use of the car.

On all equipped SRS models in places of placing of active elements of system special warning tablets are established.

Danger of a poisoning монооксидом carbon (WITH)

Into structure of the fulfilled gases of the engine enters extremely toxic монооксид carbon (WITH). At serviceable final system and correct operation of the car, the fulfilled gases of the engine should not get to car salon. Try to check a technical condition of system of release of the fulfilled gases and tightness of connections of its pipelines in following cases:

    a) At the next replacement of engine oil when the car is established on the lift;
    b) At change of character of the noise published by final system appreciable on hearing;
    c) After failure in which the details located under the bottom of the car could be damaged.

Монооксид carbon is toxic gas. Inhalation оксида carbon causes loss of consciousness and can lead to a deadly outcome!

Be careful to be in the closed, not aired premise or to make works at which you are compelled to breathe air containing оксид of carbon in the big concentration!

In the closed premises with bad ventilation, for example, in garage concentration WITH can quickly increase to dangerous value. Therefore it is forbidden to leave the engine working at the closed collars of garage.

Even at open collars do not leave the engine working long time. At once after engine start it is necessary to leave garage and to continue engine warming up in the street.

At movement with an open door of a back/cover of a luggage space the fulfilled gases of the engine can get to salon of the car and create a dangerous situation. If there is a situation when to close a door/cover it is not obviously possible, it is necessary to open completely all windows and to include ventilation and air conditioning system

At a finding in the car with the engine working on single turns (even on the open area), make following inclusions:

    a) Include system of ventilation of salon in a mode of inflow of fresh air;
    b) Include the heater fan for the maximum speed;
    c) Establish a regulator comfortable level of temperature of air.
