Precautions for Vehicles Equipped with a 
Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag) System
S7RS0B0000001
WARNING! 
• The configuration of air bag system parts are as shown in the figure. When it is 
necessary to service (remove, reinstall and 
inspect) these parts, be sure to follow 
procedures described in Air Bag System 
section. Failure to follow proper 
procedures could result in possible air bag 
system activation, personal injury, damage 
to parts or air bag system being unable to 
activate when necessary.
• If the air bag system and another vehicle  system both need repair, SUZUKI 
recommends that the air bag system be 
repaired first, to help  avoid unintended air 
bag system activation.
• Do not modify the steering wheel,  dashboard, or any other air bag system 
components. Modifications can adversely 
affect air bag system performance and 
lead to injury.
• If the vehicle will be exposed to  temperatures over 93  °C (200  °F) (for 
example, during a paint baking process), 
remove the air bag system components 
beforehand to avoid component damage 
or unintended air bag system activation.
 
Diagnosis
• When troubleshooting air bag system, be sure to  follow “Diagnosis” in Air Bag System section. 
Bypassing these procedures may result in extended 
diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis, and incorrect 
parts replacement.
• Never use electrical test equipment other than that  specified.
WARNING! 
Never attempt to measure the resistance of 
the air bag (inflator) modules (driver, 
passenger, side and curtain) and seat belt 
pretensioners (driver and passenger). It is 
very dangerous as the electric current from 
the tester may deploy the air bag or activate 
the pretensioner.
 
1. Air bag wire harness (in floor, main  and instrument panel harness) 6. Driver air bag (inflator) module
2. Passenger air bag (inflator) module 7. Side air bag (inflator) module  (if equipped)
3. SDM 8. Curtain air bag (inflator)  module (if equipped)

WARNING! 
SDM
• For handling and storage of a SDM, select a place where the ambient temperature 
below 65  °C (150  °F), without high humidity 
and away from electric noise.
• During service procedures, be very careful  when handling a Sensing and Diagnostic 
Module (SDM). Never strike or jar the SDM.
• Never power up the air bag system when  the SDM is not rigidly attached to the 
vehicle. All SDM and mounting bracket 
fasteners must be carefully torqued and 
the arrow must be pointing toward the 
front of the vehicle to ensure proper 
operation of the air bag system.
The SDM could be activated when powered 
while not rigidly att ached to the vehicle 
which could cause deployment and result 
in personal injury.
 
WARNING! 
Driver and Passenger Seat Belt 
Pretensioners
• For handling and storage of a live seat belt  pretensioner, select a place where the 
ambient temperature below 65  °C (150 ° F), 
without high humidity and away from 
electric noise.
• Never carry seat belt pretensioner by wire  or connector of pretensioner. When 
placing a live seat belt pretensioner on the 
workbench or some place like that, never 
put something on seat belt pretensioner. 
Otherwise, personal  injury may result.
• Never dispose of live (inactivated) seat belt  pretensioners (drive and passenger). If 
disposal is necessary, be sure to activate 
them according to activation procedures 
described in “Air Bag (Inflator) Module and 
Seat Belt Pretensioner Disposal in Section 
8B” before disposal.
• The seat belt pretensioner immediately  after activation is very hot. Wait for at least 
half an hour to cool it off before 
proceeding the work.
• With many service procedures, gloves and  safety glasses should be worn to prevent 
any possible irritation of the skin or eyes.
 
• Even when the accident was light enough not to cause air bags to activate, be sure to inspect system 
parts and other related parts according to instructions 
under “Repair and Inspection Required after Accident 
in Section 8B”.
• When servicing parts other than air bag system, if  shocks may be applied to air bag system component 
parts, remove those parts beforehand.
• When handling the air bag (inflator) modules (driver,  passenger, side and curtain), seat belt pretensioners 
(driver and passenger), forward sensor, side sensors 
or SDM, be careful not to drop it or apply an impact to 
it. If an excessive impact was applied, never attempt 
disassembly or repair but replace it with a new one.
• When grease, cleaning agent, oil, water, etc. has got  onto air bag (inflator) modules (driver, passenger, side 
and curtain) or seat belt pretensioners (drive and 
passenger), wipe off immediately with a dry cloth.
• Air bag wire harness is included in floor and  instrument panel wire harnesses. Air bag wire 
harness branched off from floor and instrument panel 
wire harnesses can be identifie d easily as it is covered 
with a yellow protection tube and it has yellow 
connectors. Be very ca reful when handling it.
• When an open in air bag wire harness, damaged wire  harness, connector or terminal is found, replace wire 
harness, connectors and terminals as an assembly.
• Do not apply power to the air bag system unless all  components are connected or a diagnostic flow 
requests it, as this will set a DTC.
• Never use air bag system component parts from  another vehicle.
• When using electric welding, be sure to disconnect all  air bag (inflator) module connectors and pretensioner 
connectors from air bag wire harness respectively.
• Never expose air bag system component parts  directly to hot air (drying or baking the vehicle after 
painting) or flames.
• WARNING / CAUTION labels  are attached on each 
part of air bag system components. Be sure to follow 
the instructions.
• After vehicle is completely repaired, perform “Air Bag  Diagnostic System Check in Section 8B”.

General PrecautionsS7RS0B0000002
The WARNING and CAUTION describe some general 
precautions that you should observe when servicing a 
vehicle. These general precautions apply to many of the 
service procedures,  and they will not necessarily be 
repeated with each procedure to which they apply.
WARNING! 
• Whenever raising a vehicle for service, be  sure to follow the instructions under 
“Vehicle Lifting Points in Section 0A”.
• When it is necessary to do service work  with the engine running, make sure that 
the parking brake is set fully and the 
transmission is in Neutral (for manual 
transmission vehicles) or Park (for 
automatic transmission vehicles), Keep 
hands, hair, clothing, tools, etc. away from 
the fan and belts when the engine is 
running.
• When it is necessary to run the engine  indoors, make sure that the exhaust gas is 
forced outdoors.
• Do not perform service work in areas  where combustible materials can come in 
contact with a hot exhaust system. When 
working with toxic or  flammable materials 
(such as gasoline and refrigerant), make 
sure that the area you work in is well-
ventilated.
• To avoid getting burned, keep away from  hot metal parts such as the radiator, 
exhaust manifold, tail  pipe, muffler, etc.
• New and used engine oil can be  hazardous. Children and pets may be 
harmed by swallowing new or used oil. 
Keep new and used oil and used engine oil 
filters away from children and pets.
Continuous contact with used engine oil 
has been found to cause [skin] cancer in 
laboratory animals. Brief contact with used 
oil may irritate skin.  To minimize your 
exposure to used engine oil, wear a long-
sleeve shirt and moisture-proof gloves 
(such as dish washing gloves) when 
changing engine oil. If engine oil contacts 
your skin, wash thoroughly with soap and 
water. Launder any clothing or rags if wet 
with oil, recycle or properly dispose of 
used oil and filters. • Be sure to observe following instructions 
when handling service materials such as 
fuel, oil, fluid, coolant, grease, sealant, 
thread lock cement, etc. Otherwise, your 
health may be ruined.
– Whenever handling any of these service materials, wear safety glasses to protect 
your eyes. If it gets into your eye, it may 
cause inflammation.
– Whenever handling any of these service  materials, wear moistu re-proof gloves to 
protect your skin. If it adheres to your 
skin, it may cause inflammation.
– Do not swallow any of these service  materials. It would cause diarrhea or 
nausea.
– Keep all these materials out of children’s  reach.
• Make sure the bonnet is fully closed and  latched before driving. If  it is not, it can fly 
up unexpectedly during driving, 
obstructing your view and resulting in an 
accident.
 
• Before starting any service work, cover fenders, seats  and any other parts that are likely to get scratched or 
stained during servicing. Also, be aware that what you 
wear (e.g., buttons) ma y cause damage to the 
vehicle’s finish.
