Brakes and Traction Control: Service Precautions

The Supplemental Restraint System "Airbag" helps to reduce the risk or severity of injury to the driver in a frontal collision.

The Supplemental Restraint System consists of an airbag module (located in the center of the steering wheel), sensors, a control module, warning light, wiring harness and roll connector.

WARNING:
^ To avoid rendering the Airbag system inoperative, which could lead to personal injury or death in the event of a severe frontal collision, all maintenance must be performed by an authorized SUBARU dealer.
^ Improper maintenance, including incorrect removal and installation of the Airbag system, can lead to personal injury caused by unintentional activation of the Airbag system.
^ All Airbag system electrical wiring harnesses and connectors are covered with yellow outer insulation. Do not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the Supplemental Restraint System "Airbag"
