For safe driving

For optimal safety in your Subaru Solterra, always adjust your seating position, mirrors, and driving posture correctly before starting your journey.

Correct driving posture

1. Adjust the seatback angle so that you sit upright comfortably without needing to lean forward while steering your Subaru Solterra.
2. Position the seat so you can fully press the pedals while maintaining a slight bend in your elbows when holding the steering wheel.
3. Set the head restraint so that its center aligns with the top of your ears for proper protection in the Subaru Solterra.
4. Always fasten your seat belt correctly to ensure full effectiveness of the safety system.

WARNING

Follow these essential safety precautions when driving your Subaru Solterra.

Ignoring these guidelines may lead to serious injury or fatal accidents.

• Never adjust the driver’s seat while the Subaru Solterra is in motion.

  Changing the seat position while driving may result in loss of control.

• Avoid placing cushions or additional padding between the occupant and the seatback.

This may interfere with correct posture and reduce the effectiveness of seat belts and head restraints.

• Do not store objects under the front seats.

  Loose items may obstruct seat movement or locking mechanisms, potentially leading to hazardous situations or equipment damage.

• Always adhere to speed limits and traffic regulations when driving your Subaru Solterra.
• On long journeys, take regular breaks to avoid fatigue.

  If you feel tired or drowsy, stop driving immediately and rest before continuing your trip.

Correct use of the seat belts

Ensure that all passengers in your Subaru Solterra are properly secured with seat belts before driving. For children, always use an appropriate child restraint system until they are large enough to safely use standard seat belts.

Adjusting the mirrors

Before driving your Subaru Solterra, adjust the inside rear view mirror, digital inner mirror (if equipped), and outside mirrors to achieve optimal visibility of the surrounding area. Proper mirror adjustment significantly enhances situational awareness and driving safety.

Additional safety tip: Regularly reviewing your driving position and vehicle setup in the Subaru Solterra not only improves comfort but also ensures that all safety systems function as intended, especially during long-distance travel or changing driving conditions.
