WARNING

■ When adjusting the seat position

When adjusting seats in the Subaru Solterra, ensure that movement does not cause injury to passengers.
Keep hands and feet away from moving mechanisms under the seat.
There is a risk of fingers or limbs becoming trapped in the seat components.
Maintain sufficient clearance for your feet to prevent them from being caught during seat adjustment.
For manual seats: After adjustment, always confirm that the Subaru Solterra seat is securely locked in place.

■ Seat adjustment

To minimize the risk of sliding under the seat belt in the event of a collision, avoid reclining the Subaru Solterra seat excessively.

If the seat is reclined too far, the lap belt may shift from the pelvis to the abdomen, and the shoulder belt may contact the neck, significantly increasing the risk of serious injury or fatal consequences during an accident.

Never adjust the Subaru Solterra seat while driving, as sudden movement may lead to loss of vehicle control.
