Front Seat: Inspection
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Subaru Forester. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Inspect that there is no tear and fray on backrest cover assembly.
NOTE:
When there is tear or fray on the door side of backrest cover assembly, replace the backrest cover assembly with a new one, because there is a possibility that the side airbag will not operate normally.
