Subaru Forester: Child restraint systems / Safety tips for installing child restraint systems
WARNING
- Do not use a seatbelt extender. If
a seatbelt extender is used when
installing a child restraint system,
the seatbelt will not securely
hold the child restraint system.
Use of a seatbelt extender could
cause death or serious injury to
children or other passengers in
sudden braking, swerving, or
accidents.
- Attach the child restraint system
to the anchors properly. When
using the LATCH anchors, be
sure that there are no foreign
objects around the anchors.
Make sure the child restraint
system is securely attached.
Otherwise it may cause death or
serious injury to children or other
passengers in sudden braking,
swerving, or accidents.
- Child restraint systems and seatbelts
can become hot in a vehicle
that has been closed up in sunny
weather; they could burn a small
child. Check the child restraint
system before you place a child
in it.
- Do not leave an unsecured child
restraint system in your vehicle.
Unsecured child restraint systems
can be thrown around inside
of the vehicle in a sudden
stop, turn or accident; they can
strike and injure vehicle occupants
as well as result in serious
injuries or death to the child.
CAUTION
When you install a child restraint
system, follow the manufacturer’s
instructions supplied with it. After
installing the child restraint system,
check to ensure that it is held
securely in position. If it is not held
tight and secure, the danger of your
child suffering personal injury in the
event of an accident may be increased.
The following are SUBARU’s recommendations
on where to place a child restraint
system in your vehicle.
WARNING
Several types of child restraint
systems may conceal the buckle

NOTE
The high beam assist function utilizes
the stereo camera installed at the
position of the front map lights.
For details on how to handle the
stereo camera, refer to the Owner’s
Manual supplement for the EyeSight
system.
The high beam assist function automatically
changes the headlight from high
beam to low beam (or vice versa)...
This light illuminates when the brake fluid
level has dropped to near the “MIN” level of
the brake fluid reservoir with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position and with the
parking brake fully released.
If the brake system warning light should
illuminate while driving (with the parking
brake fully released and with the ignition
switch positioned in “ON”), it could be an
indication of leaking of brake fluid or worn
brake pads...
