SERVICE BULLETIN
APPLICABILITY: 1995~1999MY Legacy Vehicles NUMBER: 17-05-01
1994~2001MY Impreza Vehicles DATE: 05/01/01
SUBJECT: Airbag On/Off Switches
The purpose of this Service Bulletin is to outline the sequence of events and requirements that need to be
satisfied before an Airbag On/Off Switch can be installed in a customer's vehicle.
When a customer contacts your dealership inquiring about having an Airbag On/Off Switch(s) installed,
he or she should be made fully aware of these requirements and be presented with a detailed Parts and
Labor cost estimate up front.
1) In order for your customer to make the most informed decision possible, it is recommended
they first obtain a copy of "Air Bags & On/Off Switches: Information for an Informed
Decision" from NHTSA (the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) via the Internet
address: http://www.nhtsa.gov/airbags/brochure/ or by calling the NHTSA Hotline
at: 1-800-424-9393.
2) Once customers have read this information and made the decision to proceed, they must
obtain a request form from NHTSA, also available via an Internet address:
http://www.nhtsa.gov/airbags/brochure/Req_Form.html or by calling the above 1-800 #.
A sample copy of this form can be found on pages 3 and 4 of this bulletin. This form must be
completed by the customer and sent back to NHTSA for review. NHTSA will then send back
either a rejection notice or an approval with the required authorization number.
3) Page 4 of this bulletin is a blank copy of the "Waiver of Liability" form. For your protection,
you will need to copy this waiver page and have BOTH your customer and a witness complete
and sign the bottom where indicated along with the vehicle's VIN number and the installing
dealer code. The original copies of these completed forms must be kept in the customer's
service history file at the dealership for future reference. A photocopy of each form must be
promptly sent to:
Subaru of America, Inc.; PO Box 6000, Cherry Hill, NJ 08034-6000; Attn: CDS.
VERY IMPORTANT DO NOT PROCEED WITH THE SWITCH KIT INSTALLATION UNTIL YOU HAVE

C A U T I O N: VEHICLE SERVICING PERFORMED BY UNTRAINED PERSONS COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THOSE PERSONS OR TO OTHERS.
Subaru Service Bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians ONLY. They are written to inform those
technicians of conditions that may occur in some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper
servicing of the vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to
do the job correctly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that this Service Bulletin applies to your
vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition.

4) Make sure that the NHTSA authorization matches the installation you are doing. For example:
if the authorization obtained is for a driver's side switch only or a passenger's side switch only,
make sure you install only the side that is authorized. If the authorization is for both sides,
install both switches.

Part C. Switch for Driver Air Bag.
A
S
I request authorization for the installation of an on-off switch for the driver air bag in my vehicle. I certify that I
or another driver of my vehicle meets the criteria for the risk group checked below.
(At least one box must be checked.)
Medical condition. The driver has a medical condition which, according to his or her physician:
G causes the driver air bag to pose a special risk for the driver; and
G makes the potential harm from the driver air bag in a crash greater than the potential harm from turning
off the air bag and allowing the driver, even if belted, to hit the steering wheel or windshield in a crash.
Distance from driver air bag. Despite taking all reasonable steps to move back from the driver air bag, the
driver is not able to maintain a 10-inch distance from the center of his or her breastbone to the center of the
driver air bag cover.
Part D. Switch for Passenger Air Bag.
I request authorization for the installation of an on-off switch for the passenger air bag in my vehicle. I certify that
I or another passenger of my vehicle meets the criteria for the risk group checked below.
(At least one box must be checked.)
Infant. An infant (less than 1 year old) must ride in the front seat because:
G my vehicle has no rear seat;
G my vehicle has a rear seat too small to accommodate a rear-facing infant seat; or
G the infant has a medical condition which, according to the infant's physician, makes it necessary for the
infant to ride in the front seat so that the driver can constantly monitor the child's condition.

APPENDIX B TO PART 595--REQUEST FORM
Child age 1 to 12. A child age 1 to 12 must ride in the front seat because:
G my vehicle has no rear seat;
G although children ages 1 to 12 ride in the rear seat(s) whenever possible, children ages 1 to 12
sometimes must ride in the front because no space is available in the rear seat(s) of my vehicle; or
the child has a medical condition which, according to the child's physician, makes it necessary for the
G
child to ride in the front seat so that the driver can constantly monitor the child's condition.
Medical condition. A passenger has a medical condition which, according to his or her physician:
G causes the passenger air bag to pose a special risk for the passenger; and
G makes the potential harm from the passenger air bag in a crash greater than the potential harm from
turning off the air bag and allowing the passenger, even if belted, to hit the dashboard or windshield in a
crash.
Part E. I make this request based on following certification and understandings:
(Check each box below after reading carefully.)
Information brochure. I certify that I have read the NHTSA information brochure, "Air Bags & On-Off
Switches, Information for an Informed Decision." I understand that air bags should be turned off only for
Y
people at risk and turned back on for people not at risk.
L
Loss of air bag protection. I understand that turning off an air bag may have serious safety consequences.
N
When an air bag is off, even belted occupants may hit their head, neck or chest on the steering wheel,
dashboard or windshield in a moderate to serious crash. That possibility may be increased in some newer
O
vehicles with seat belts that are specially designed to work with the air bag. Those belts, which are designed to
reduce the concentration of crash forces on any single part of the body, typically allow the occupant to move
LE
farther forward in a crash than older belts. Without the air bag to cushion this forward movement, the chance of
the occupant hitting the vehicle interior is increased.
P
Waiver. I understand that motor vehicle dealers and repair businesses may require me to sign a waiver of
liability before they install an on-off switch.
M
Part F. Certification.
SA
I certify to the U. S. Department of Transportation that the information, certifications and understandings given
or indicated by me on this form are truthful, correct and complete to the best of my knowledge and belief. I
recognize that the statements I have made on this form concern a matter within the jurisdiction of a department of
the United States and that making a false, fictitious or fraudulent statement may render me subject to criminal
prosecution under Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001.
Date Signature of owner/lessee
Additional instructions and information for vehicle owners and lessees: An owner or lessee of multiple vehicles (e.g., a
fleet owner) who wants an on-off switch for the same air bag (e.g., just the passenger air bag) in more than one vehicle and
for the same reason does not need to submit a separate form for each vehicle. Instead, the owner or lessee may list the make,
model, model year, and vehicle identification number for each of those vehicles and attach the list to a copy of this form.
Each page of the list must be signed and dated by the owner or lessee. A list may also be attached to a single copy of this
form if the owner or lessee wishes to request authorization for on-off switches for both air bags in multiple vehicles.
Please note that an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid
OMB control number. That number appears above.
