Inspect all seat belt assemblies after
any crash. Any seat belt assembly
which was in use during a crash
(other than a very minor one) should
be replaced, even if damage to the
assembly is not obvious. Any seat
belt assembly which was not in use
during a crash should be replaced if
it does not function properly, it is
damaged in any way or the seat belt
pretensioners were activated (that is,
if the front air bags were activated).

SUZUKI highly recommends that you use
a child restraint system to restrain infants
and small children. Many different types of
child restraint systems are available; check
that the restraint syst em you select meets
applicable safety standards.
All child restraint systems are designed to
be secured in vehicle seats either by seat
belts (lap belts or the lap portion of lap-
shoulder belts) or by special rigid lower
anchor bars built into the seat. Whenever
possible, SUZUKI recommends that child
restraint systems be installed on the rear
seat. According to accident statistics, chil-
dren are safer when properly restrained in
rear seating positions than in front seating
positions.
(For Countries applied for UN Regula-
tion No.16)
When purchasing a child restraint and
install it to your SUZUKI vehicle, refer to
the information about suitability for child
restraints shown in “Child restraint system
for countries applied for UN Regulation
No.16” in this section.
NOTE:
Observe any statutory regulation about
child restraints.

EXAMPLEEXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
(Vehicle without the front passenger
air bag deactivation system)
Do not install a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger’s
seat. If the passenger’s front air bag
inflates, a child in a rear-facing child
restraint could be killed or severely
injured. The back of a rear-facing
child restraint would be too close to
the inflating air bag.

Whenever possible, SUZUKI recom-
mends that child restraint systems be
installed on the rear seat. According to
accident statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in rear seating posi-
tions than in front seating positions.
• If you must install the child restraint sys-
tem on the front passe nger’s seat, follow
instructions below.
– Deactivate the front passenger’s front air bag by the front passenger air bag
deactivation system.
– Slide the seat to t he most rear position
by the seat position adjustment lever.
– Adjust the seatba ck at the 5th step
inclined position (counted from most
upright position) w ith the seatback
angle adjustment lever. – If your vehicle is equipped with the
seat height adjustment lever, raise the
seat to the uppermost position by the
seat height adjustment lever.
Install your child restraint system accord-
ing to the instructions provided by the child
restraint system manufacturer.
Check that the seat belt is securely
latched.
Move the child restraint system in all direc-
tions to check that it is securely installed.
When you put your child in the child
restraint system, appr opriately slide the
front seat forward not to touch a part of
your child’s body.
CAUTION
Adjust the height of the rear head
restraint or remove it for fitting the
child restraint, as necessary. How-
ever, if a booster cushion not
equipped with the head restraint is
fitted, the rear seat head restraint
should not be removed. If the rear
head restraint is removed for fitting
the child restraint, you need to install
it again after removing the child
restraint.
If the child restraint is fitted improp-
erly, a child sitting in it could be
injured in a crash.

Seat belt pretensioner system
63J269
To determine if your vehicle is equipped
with a seat belt pretensioner system at the
front or rear seating positions, check the
label on the seat belt at the bottom part. If
the letters “p” and/or “PRE” appear as illus-
trated, your vehicle is equipped with the
seat belt pretensioner system. You can use
the pretensioner seat belts in the same
manner as ordinary seat belts.
Read this section and “Supplemental
restraint system (air bags)” section to learn
more about the pretensioner system.
The seat belt pretensioner system works
with the supplemental r estraint system (air
bags). The crash sensors and the elec-
tronic controller of t he air bag system also
control the seat belt pretensioners. The
pretensioners are triggered only when
there is a frontal or side crash severe
enough to trigger the air bags and the seat
belts are fastened. For precautions and
general information including servicing the
pretensioner system, refer to “Supplemen-
tal restraint system (air bags)” section in
addition to this “Seat belt pretensioner sys-
tem” section, and follow all those precau-
tions.
The pretensioner is located in each front
seat belt retractor and both side of the rear
seat belt retractor (if equipped). The pre-
tensioner tightens the seat belt so the belt
fits the occupant’s body more snugly in the
event of a frontal or side crash. The retrac-
tors will remain locked after the pretension-
ers are activated. 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 fastening 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 o
f 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 “Seat adjustment” section
and the instructions and precautions about
the seat belts in this “Seat belts and child
restraint systems” section for details on
proper seat and seat belt adjustments.
Please note that the pretensioners along
with the air bags will activate in severe
frontal or side crashes. They are not
designed to activate in rear impacts, roll-
overs, or minor frontal side crashes. The
pretensioners can be activated only once.
If the pretensioners are activated (that is, if
the air bags are activated), have the pre-
tensioner system serviced by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.

Front air bags
63J259
Front air bags are designed to inflate in
severe frontal crashes when the ignition
switch is in “ON” position or the ignition
mode is ON.
NOTE:
In a frontal angle crash, the side air bags (if
equipped) and side curtain air bags (if
equipped) may inflate.
Front air bags are not designed to inflate in
rear impacts, side impacts, rollovers or
minor frontal crashes, since they would
offer no protection in
those types of acci-
dents. Since an air bag deploys only one
time during an accident, seat belts are
needed to restrain occupants from further
movements during the accident.
WA R N I N G
An air bag supplements or adds to
the crash protectio n offered by seat
belts. The driver and all passengers
must be properly restrained by fas-
tening seat belts at all times, whether
or not an air bag is mounted at their
seating position, to minimize the risk
of severe injury or death in the event
of a crash.
WA R N I N G
NEVER use a rearward facing child
restraint on a seat protected by an
ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH
or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD
can occur.EXAMPLE

always fasten your seat belts. Be aware
that no system can prevent all possible
injuries that may occur in an accident.

by an authorized SUZUKI dealer.EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
(Vehicle without the front passenger
air bag deactivation system)
Do not install a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger’s
seat. If the passenger’s front air bag
inflates, a child in a rear-facing child
restraint could be killed or severely
injured. The back of a rear-facing
child restraint would be too close to
the inflating air bag.

Side air bags and side curtain air bags (if equipped)
68KM090
Side air bags and side curtain air bags are
designed to inflate in severe side impact
crashes when the ignition switch is in “ON”
position or the ignition mode is ON.
Side air bags and side curtain air bags are
not designed to inflate in frontal or rear
crashes, rollovers or minor side crashes,
since they would offer no protection in
those types of accidents. Only the side air
bag and side curtain air bag on the side of
the vehicle that is struck will inflate. How-
ever, in a frontal angle crash, the side air
bags and side curtain air bags may inflate.
Since an air bag deploys only one time
during an accident, seat belts are needed to restrain occupants from further move-
ments during the accident.
Therefore, an air bag is not a substitute for
seat belts. To maximize your protection,
always fasten your seat belts. Be aware
that no system can prevent all possible
injuries that may o
ccur in an accident.
Side air bags (if equipped)
75RM107
Side air bags are located in the part of the
front seatbacks closest to the doors. The
“SRS AIRBAG” labels are attached to the
seatbacks to identify the location of the
side air bags. Side curtain air bags (if equipped)
75RM041
Side curtain air bags are located in the roof
lining. The words “SRS AIRBAG” are
molded into the pillar to identify the loca-
tion of the side curtain air bags.

• Vehicle rollover
How the system worksIn a frontal crash, the crash sensors will
detect rapid deceleration, and if the con-
troller judges that the deceleration rep-
resents a severe frontal crash, the
controller will trigger the inflators. If your
vehicle is equipped with side air bags and
side curtain air bags, crash sensors will
detect a side crash, and if the controller
judges that the side crash is severe
enough, it will trigger the side air bag and
side curtain air bag inflators. The inflators
inflate the appropriate air bags with nitro-
gen or argon gas. The inflated air bags
provide a cushion for your head (front air
bags and side curtain 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 that
the air bag may irritate bare skin, such as
the facial area against a front air bag.
Wash off any residue as soon as possible
to prevent skin irritation. Also, upon infla-
tion, a loud noise will occur and some pow-
der and smoke will be released. These
conditions are not harmful and do not indi-
cate a fire in the vehicle. Be aware, how-ever, 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. Refer to “Seat adjustment” sec-
tion and “Seat belts and child restraint sys-
tems” section in this
section for details on
proper seat and seat belt adjustments.
