¹ The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) (air bags) affords the driver and front and rear outboard passengers additional protection in a moderate to severe frontal collision and side-impact collisions. This system provides supplemental protection only, and seatbelts must be worn in order to avoid injuries to out-of-position occupants upon bag deployment and to provide the best combined protection in a serious accident. Children should always be properly restrained in the rear seat.

² For 2008, Subaru Legacy, Outback, and Forester 2.5L non-turbo models certified as Partial Zero Emission Vehicle (PZEV) that are sold, registered and operated in California, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island or Vermont, all emission parts are covered for 15 years /150,000 miles, whichever comes first. For complete warranty information, see your Subaru dealer.
