tion as an automatic locking retractor
(ALR).

2) Allow the extra webbing to retract, and
pull the webbing toward the retractor to
take up any slack. Make sure that the
lap portion of the belt is tight around the
child restraint system and the shoulder
portion of the belt is positioned so that it
can not interfere with the child’s head or
neck.

verted to the ALR mode by trying to pull
webbing out of the retractor. If the
retractor is in the ALR mode, the belt

Seat Belt Extender
65D613
(1) Center of body
(2) Less than 152 mm (6 inches)
(3) Open end of extender buckle
If a seat belt cannot be fastened securely
because it is not long enough, see your
authorized SUZUKI dealer for a seat belt
extender. Seat belt extenders are available
for each seating position except for the
rear center position. After inspecting the
relationship between the seat belt length,
the occupant’s body size, and the seat
adjustment (the driver’s seat should always
be adjusted as far back as possible while
still maintaining control of the vehicle, and
other adjustable seats should be adjusted
as far back as possible), your dealer can
select the appropriate seat belt extender. A seat belt extender should only be used
for the person, vehicle and seating loca-
tion it was provided for.
When using the extender, ensure that
both ends are latched securely. Do not
use the extender if the open end of the
extender’s buckle is within 152 mm (6
inches) of the center of the occupant’s
body (See diagram). Use of the extender
when the buckle is too close to the cen-
ter of the body could increase the risk of
abdominal injury in the event of an acci-
dent, and could cause the shoulder belt
to be positioned incorrectly.
Make sure to use the correct buckle cor-
responding to your seating position.
Seat belt extenders are not intended for
use by pregnant women, and should
only be used upon approval by their
medical advisors.
Remove and stow the extender when it
is not being used.
WARNING
Failure to follow these instructions
may increase the risk of injury in a
crash.
Only use an extender for the per-
son, vehicle and seating position it
was provided for.
Do not use if open end of
extender’s buckle is within 152 mm
(6 inches) of center of occupant’s
body (See diagram).
Remove and stow the extender
when it is not being used.
WARNING
If you are using a seat belt extender
in the front passenger’s seat, it is
important to sit in the seat before
inserting the latch plate of the seat
belt extender into the vehicle seat
belt buckle. If the front passenger
sensing system does not sense your
weight on the front seat when the
latch plate of the seat belt extender is
inserted into the vehicle seat belt
buckle, the front passenger’s air bag
will be turned off and will remain off,
and the “PASS AIRBAG OFF” indica-
tor will be illuminated.
