Seat Belt Pretensioner System
52D011
Your vehicle is equipped with a seat belt
pretensioner system at the front seating
positions. You can use the pretensioner
seat belts in the same manner as ordinary
seat belts.
The seat belt pretensioner system is acti-
vated based on crash severity. This system
does not work when the seat belt is
unbuckled. The crash sensors and theelectronic controller of the air bag system
also control the seat belt pretensioners.
For precautions and general information
including servicing the pretensioner sys-
tem, refer to the “Supplemental Restraint
System (air bags)” section in addition to
this “Seat Belt Pretensioner System” sec-
tion, and follow all those precautions.
The pretensioner is located in each front
seat belt retractor. The pretensioner tight-
ens the seat belt so the belt fits the occu-
pant’s body more snugly in the event of a
frontal crash. The retractors will remain
locked after the pretensioners are acti-
vated. Upon activation, some noise will
occur and some smoke may be released.
These conditions are not harmful and do
not indicate a fire in the vehicle.
The driver and all passengers must be
properly restrained by wearing seat belts
at all times, whether or not a pretensioner
is equipped at their seating position, to
minimize the risk of severe injury or death
in the event of a crash. Sit fully back in the
seat; sit up straight; do not lean forward or
sideways. Adjust the belt so the lap portion
of the belt is worn low across the pelvis,
not across the waist. Please refer to the
“Seat Adjustment” section and the instruc-
tions and precautions about the seat belts
in this “Seat Belts and Child Restraint Sys-
tems” section for details on proper seat
and seat belt adjustments.
Please note that the pretensioners will acti-
vate only in severe frontal collisions. They
WARNING
(Continued)
To avoid turning off the front passen-
ger’s air bag when using a seat belt
extender in the front passenger’s
seat, be sure to follow these instruc-
tions.
 First insert the latch plate of the
vehicle seat belt into the buckle of
the seat belt extender.
 While you are sitting in the seat,
insert the latch plate of the seat
belt extender into the vehicle seat
belt buckle.
 Confirm that the “PASS AIRBAG
OFF” indicator is not illuminated
when you are sitting in the seat
with the seat belt buckled.
 When unfastening the seat belt,
unlatch the latch plate of the seat
belt extender from the vehicle seat
belt buckle first.
 When not using the seat belt
extender, remove and stow it.
WARNING
This section of the owner’s manual
describes your SUZUKI’s SEAT BELT
PRETENSIONER SYSTEM. Please
read and follow ALL these instruc-
tions carefully to minimize your risk
of severe injury or death.EXAMPLE

are not designed to activate in rear
impacts, side impacts, rollovers or minor
frontal collisions. The pretensioners can be
activated only once. If the pretensioners
are activated, have the pretensioner sys-
tem serviced by an authorized SUZUKI
dealer as soon as possible.
If the “AIR BAG” light on the instrument
cluster does not blink or come on briefly
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, stays on for more than 10
seconds, or comes on while driving, the
pretensioner system or the air bag system
may not work properly. Have both systems
inspected by an authorized SUZUKI dealer
as soon as possible.
Service on or around the pretensioner sys-
tem components or wiring must be per-
formed only by an authorized SUZUKI
dealer who is specially trained. Improper
service could result in unintended activa-
tion of pretensioners or could render the
pretensioner inoperative. Either of these
two conditions may result in personal
injury.
To prevent damage or unintended activa-
tion of the pretensioners, be sure the bat-
tery is disconnected and the ignition switch
has been in the “LOCK” position for at least
90 seconds before performing any electri-
cal service work on your SUZUKI. Do not
touch pretensioner system components or
wiring. The wires are wrapped with yellow
tape or yellow tubing, and the couplers areyellow. When scrapping your SUZUKI, ask
your SUZUKI dealer, body repair shop or
scrap yard for assistance.
Supplemental Restraint
System (air bags)
54G022
Your vehicle has advanced front air bags
and side air bags for the driver and right
front passenger.
WARNING
This section of the owner’s manual
describes the protection provided by
your vehicle’s SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (air bags).
Please read and follow ALL these
instructions carefully to minimize
your risk of severe injury or death in
the event of a collision.EXAMPLE

54G27-03E
Your vehicle has “dual stage” front air
bags, which adjust the air bag inflation
force according to crash severity, driver’s
seat fore/aft position and whether or not
the driver’s seat belt is fastened. Also, your
vehicle has a front passenger sensing sys-
tem, which turns off the front passenger’s
front air bag under certain conditions.Driver’s Seat Position SensorThe driver’s seat is equipped with a seat
position sensor to monitor the driver seat
fore/aft position. The seat position sensor
provides information which is used to
judge if the driver’s front air bag should
deploy at reduced power or at full power.
When the seat position sensor has a prob-
lem, the “AIR BAG” light on the instrument
cluster will turn on. If this happens, deploy-
ment of the driver’s front air bag will not
include consideration of seat fore/aft posi-
tion. Have the air bag system inspected by
an authorized SUZUKI dealer as soon as
possible.
Driver’s Seat Belt Buckle SensorThe driver’s seat belt buckle is equipped
with a sensor to monitor whether or not the
driver’s seat belt is fastened. The driver’s
seat belt buckle sensor provides informa-
tion which is used to judge if the driver’s
front air bag should deploy at reduced
power or at full power.
When the buckle sensor has a problem,
the “AIR BAG” light on the instrument clus-
ter will turn on. If this happens, deployment
of the driver’s front air bag will not include
consideration of whether the driver’s seat
belt is fastened or not. Have the air bag
system inspected by an authorized
SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.Front Passenger Sensing SystemThe front passenger sensing system will
turn off the front passenger’s front air bag
under certain conditions. This system
works using weight sensors that are part of
the front passenger’s seat and a seat belt
sensor. The front passenger sensing sys-
tem is designed to detect whether an occu-
pant is present in the seat and, if an
occupant is present, to determine whether
the front passenger’s front air bag should
be enabled or disabled (turned off).
NOTE:
The front passenger’s side air bag is not
controlled by the front passenger sensing
system.
54G517
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, the “PASS AIRBAG OFF”
indicator comes on for several seconds to
let you know the system is working. When
the front passenger sensing system has
turned off the front passenger’s front air
bag, the “PASS AIRBAG OFF” indicator
will come on and stay on to remind you
that the front passenger’s front air bag is
off.
The front passenger sensing system is
designed to turn off the front passenger’s
front air bag when the weight on the front
seat is 30 kg (65 lbs) or less. The front air
bag should be turned off in the following
situations:
 There is no occupant in the front pas-
senger seat.
 The occupant of the front passenger
seat leaves the seat for a period of time.
CAUTION
Do not put any cargo or metal objects
under the seat. The seat position sen-
sor may not work properly or may be
damaged if it is covered with some-
thing.

How the System WorksIn a frontal collision, the crash sensors will
detect rapid deceleration and send a signal
to the controller. If the controller judges
that the deceleration represents a severe
frontal crash, the controller will trigger the
inflators. The controller also judges:
 Whether the air bags should deploy at
reduced power or at full power according
to crash severity, driver’s seat fore/aft
position and whether or not the driver’s
seat belt is fastened.
 Whether the front passenger’s front air
bag should deploy or not based on clas-
sification of the occupant of the front
passenger’s seat.
Since your vehicle is equipped with side air
bags, crash sensors will detect a side colli-
sion, and if the controller judges that the
side collision is severe enough, it will trig-
ger a side inflator.
The inflators inflate the appropriate air
bags with nitrogen or argon gas. The
inflated air bags provide a cushion for your
head (front air bags only) and upper body.
The air bag inflates and deflates so quickly
that you may not even realize that it has
activated. The air bag will neither hinder
your view nor make it harder to exit the
vehicle.
Air bags must inflate quickly and forcefully
in order to reduce the chance of serious or
fatal injuries. However, an unavoidable
consequence of the quick inflation is thatthe air bag may irritate bare skin, such as
the facial area against a front air bag. Also,
upon inflation, a loud noise will occur and
some powder and smoke will be released.
These conditions are not harmful and do
not indicate a fire in the car. Be aware,
however, that some air bag components
may be hot for a while after inflation.
A seat belt helps keep you in the proper
position for maximum protection when an
air bag inflates. Adjust your seat as far
back as possible while still maintaining
control of the vehicle. Sit fully back in your
seat; sit up straight; do not lean over the
steering wheel or dashboard. Front occu-
pants should not lean on or sleep against
the door. Please refer to the “Seat Adjust-
ment” section and the “Seat Belts and
Child Restraint Systems” section in the
“BEFORE DRIVING” section for details on
proper seat and seat belt adjustments.
54G582
WARNING
 The driver should not lean over the
steering wheel. The front passen-
ger should not rest his or her body
against the dashboard, or other-
wise get too close to the dash-
board. Front occupants should not
lean on or sleep against the door. In
these situations, the out-of-posi-
tion occupant would be too close to
an inflating air bag, and may suffer
severe injury.

Note that even though your vehicle may be
moderately damaged in a collision, the col-
lision may not have been severe enough to
trigger the front or side air bags to inflate. If
your car sustains ANY front-end or side
damage, have the air bag system
inspected by an authorized SUZUKI dealer
to ensure it is in proper working order.
Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnostic
module which records information about
the air bag system if the air bags deploy in
a crash. The module records informationabout overall system status, which sensors
activated the deployment, and whether the
front seat belts were in use.
Servicing the Air Bag SystemIf the air bags inflate, have the air bags and
related components replaced by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
If your vehicle ever gets in deep water and
the driver’s floor is submerged, the air bag
controller could be damaged. If this hap-
pens, have the air bag system inspected
by an authorized SUZUKI dealer as soon
as possible.
Special procedures are required for servic-
ing or replacing an air bag. For that reason,
only an authorized SUZUKI dealer should
be allowed to service or replace your air
bags. Please remind anyone who services
your vehicle that it has air bags.
Service on or around air bag components
or wiring must be performed only by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer. Improper ser-
vice could result in unintended air bag
deployment or could render the air bags
inoperative. Either of these two conditions
may result in severe injury.
To prevent damage or unintended inflation
of the air bag system, be sure the battery
is disconnected and the ignition switch has
been in the “LOCK” position for at least 90
seconds before performing any electrical
service work on your vehicle. Do not touch
air bag system components or wires. Thewires are wrapped with yellow tape or yel-
low tubing, and the couplers are yellow for
easy identification.
Scrapping a car that has an undeployed air
bag can be hazardous. Ask your dealer,
body repair shop or scrap yard for help
with disposal.

WARNING
(Continued)
 Do not attach any objects to, or
place any objects over, the steering
wheel or dashboard. Do not place
any objects between the air bag
and the driver or front passenger.
These objects may interfere with air
bag operation or may be propelled
by the air bag in the event of a
crash. Either of these conditions
may cause severe injury.
 Do not place seat covers on the
front seats, because seat covers
could restrict the side air bag’s
inflation. Also, do not place any
cup holders on the door, as the cup
holder could be propelled by the air
bag in the event of a crash. Either
of these conditions may cause
severe injury.

Warning and Indicator LightsBrake System Warning Light
65D477
This light comes on briefly when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the “ON” position.
The light also comes on under the follow-
ing conditions: 1) when the parking brake
is engaged and 2) when the fluid in the
brake fluid reservoir falls below the speci-
fied level. The light should go out after fully
releasing the parking brake, if the fluid
level in the brake fluid reservoir is ade-
quate.
If this light and the ABS warning light stay
on, or come on simultaneously when driv-
ing, then there may be something wrong
with both the rear brake proportioning
valve function and anti-lock function of the
ABS.
If the brake system warning light comes on
while you are driving the vehicle, it may
mean that there is something wrong with
the vehicle’s brake system. If this happens,
you should:
1) Pull off the road and stop carefully.2) Test the brakes by carefully starting and
stopping on the shoulder of the road.
3) If you determine that it is safe, drive
cautiously at low speed to the nearest
dealer for repairs,
or
4) Have the vehicle towed to the nearest
dealer for repairs.NOTE:
Because the disc brake system is self-
adjusting, the fluid level will drop as the
brake pads become worn.
Replenishing the brake fluid reservoir is
considered normal periodic maintenance.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
Warning Light (if equipped)
65D529
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, the light comes on briefly so
you can check that the light is working. If
the light stays on, or comes on when driv-
ing, there may be something wrong with
the ABS.
If the ABS light and the brake system
warning light stay on, or come on simulta-
neously when driving, then there may be
something wrong with both the rear brake
proportioning valve function and anti-lock
function of the ABS.
If one of these happens, have the system
inspected by your SUZUKI dealer. If the
ABS becomes inoperative, the brake sys-
tem will function as an ordinary brake sys-
tem that has no ABS.
WARNING
Remember that stopping distance
may be longer, you may have to push
harder on the pedal, and the pedal
may go down farther than normal.
WARNING
If any of the following conditions
occur, you should immediately ask
your SUZUKI dealer to inspect the
brake system.
 If the brake system warning light
does not go out after the parking
brake has been fully released.
 If the brake system warning light
does not come on when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the “ON”
position.
 If the brake system warning light
comes on at any time during vehi-
cle operation.

“AIR BAG” Light
60G300
The “AIR BAG” light monitors inflators,
crash sensors, seat belt pretensioners, the
front passenger sensing system, and cor-
responding electrical circuit.
This light blinks for several seconds when
the ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position so you can check if the light is
working. The light will come on and stay on
if there is a problem in the air bag system
or the seat belt pretensioner system.
Malfunction Indicator Light
65D530
Your vehicle has a computer-controlled
emission control system. A malfunction
indicator light is provided on the instrument
panel to indicate when it is necessary to
have the emission control system serviced.
The malfunction indicator light comes on
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position to let you know the light is
working and goes out when the engine is
started.
If the malfunction indicator light comes on
or blinks when the engine is running, ser-
vice to the emission control system is nec-
essary. Bring the vehicle to your SUZUKI
dealer to have the emission control system
serviced right away and avoid hard accel-
eration until the service is performed.NOTE:
If the fuel filler cap is not installed fully, the
electrical system gets wet (such as by driv-
ing through a deep puddle of water) or the
fuel tank gets nearly empty, the malfunc-
tion indicator light may come on. If so, the
light will go off after driving a few times
after the fuel filler cap is installed fully, the
electrical system dries out or the fuel tank
is filled.
Low Fuel Warning Light
54G343
If this light comes on, fill the fuel tank
immediately.
NOTE:
The activation point of this light varies
depending on road conditions (for exam-
ple, slope or curve) and driving conditions
because of fuel moving in the tank.
WARNING
If the “AIR BAG” light does not blink
when the ignition switch is turned to
the “ON” position or stays on or
comes on when driving, the air bag
system or the seat belt pretensioner
system may not work properly. Have
both systems inspected by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer.
CAUTION
Continuing to drive the vehicle when
the malfunction indicator light is on
or blinking can cause permanent
damage to the vehicle’s emission
control system, and can affect fuel
economy and driveability.
