MODIFICATION WARNING
WARNING
Indicates a potential hazard that
could result in death or injury.
CAUTION
Indicates a potential hazard that
could result in vehicle damage.
WARNING
Do not modify this vehicle. Modifica-
tion could adversely affect safety,
handling, performance or durability

Trunk Lid
54G287
54G495
To unlock the lid, insert the key and turn it
clockwise. You can also unlock the lid by
pulling the release lever (if equipped)located to the outboard side of the driver’s
seat.
To lock the lid, lower the lid and press
down on it. The lid is locked automatically.
Internal Trunk Release
54G297
There is a release lever located inside the
trunk, on the rear part of the trunk lid. This
lever is for emergency use so that if a per-
son, such as a child, gets trapped in the
trunk compartment, he can exit the vehicle.
The lever glows in the dark, after a brief
exposure to ambient light, so it can be
found easily. It is operated by pushing it
down in the direction of the arrow.
EXAMPLE
WARNING
Always make sure that the trunk lid is
closed and latched securely. Other-
wise, it may open unexpectedly while
driving. Also completely closing it
helps keep exhaust gases from enter-
ing the car.
CAUTION
Do not use the key to lift up the trunk
lid, or the key may break off in the
lock.
WARNING
To help avoid situations where some-
one might get trapped in the trunk,
keep your vehicle locked when unat-
tended, and do not allow anyone to
play in the trunk.EXAMPLE

Front passenger’s seat belt reminder
light
54G515
When the driver and front passenger don’t
buckle their seat belts, the driver’s seat belt
reminder light in the instrument cluster and
the front passenger’s seat belt reminder
light in the information display will come on
and a buzzer will sound as a reminder to
the driver and front passenger to buckle
their seat belts.
The seat belt reminder functions as shown
in the figure below. There are some differ-
ences between the driver’s seat belt
reminder and the front passenger’s seat
belt reminder. For more details, refer to the
explanation below.
WARNING
If you park your vehicle outdoors in
direct sunlight or in hot weather, an
exposed latch plate can get hot
enough to burn you. Be careful not to
touch a hot latch plate.
(A)
WARNING
It is absolutely essential that the
driver and passengers wear their seat
belts at all times. Persons who are
not wearing seat belts have a much
greater risk of injury if an accident
occurs. Make a regular habit of buck-
ling your seat belt before putting the
key in the ignition.

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

Side air bag will not inflate
54G027
Side air bag will probably not inflate
54G028
Front air bags are designed to inflate only
in severe frontal collisions. They are not
designed to inflate in rear impacts, side
impacts, rollovers or minor frontal colli-
sions, since they would offer no protection
in those types of accidents. Side air bags
are designed to inflate only in severe side-
impact collisions. They are not designed to
inflate in frontal or rear collisions, rollovers
or minor side collisions, since they would
offer no protection in those types of acci-
dents. Only the side air bag on the side of
the vehicle that is struck will inflate.
Remember, since air bags deploy only one
time during an accident, seat belts are
needed to restrain occupants from further
movements during the accident.
Therefore, an air bag is NOT a substitute
for seat belts. To maximize your protection,
ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEAT BELTS. Be
aware that no system can prevent all pos-
sible injuries that may occur in an accident.
60G300
If the “AIR BAG” light on the instrument
cluster does not blink when the ignition
switch is first turned to the “ON” position,
or the “AIR BAG” light stays on, or comes
on while driving, the air bag system may
not work properly. Have the air bag system
inspected by an authorized SUZUKI dealer
as soon as possible.
WARNING
Air bags supplement, or add to, the
crash protection offered by seat
belts. The driver and all passengers
must be properly restrained by wear-
ing seat belts at all times, whether or
not air bags are mounted at their
seating position, to minimize the risk
of severe injury or death in the event
of a crash.
Seat Belts and Child Restraint Systems: 3

54G27-03E
The occupant of the front passenger
seat is an infant or small child in a child
restraint system or a small child in a
booster seat.
A smaller person, such as a child who
has outgrown child restraints or a very
small adolescent is seated in the front
passenger seat.
NOTE:
If the front passenger seat is unoccupied,
the “PASS AIRBAG OFF” indicator will not
come on but the front passenger’s front air
bag will not deploy.
If you have secured a child in the front pas-
senger seat in a forward-facing child
restraint system or booster seat and the
“PASS AIRBAG OFF” indicator light is not
on, turn the vehicle off, remove the child
restraint or booster seat from the vehicle
and reinstall it following the child restraint
or booster seat manufacturer’s directions.
Refer to “Seat Belts and Child Restraint
Systems” in this section. If you have rein-
stalled the child restraint or booster seat
and restarted the vehicle, and the “PASS
AIRBAG OFF” indicator is still not on,
secure the child in the child restraint or
booster seat in a rear seat position in the
vehicle and check with your dealer.
65D607
According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in rear
seating positions than in front seating posi-
tions. Whenever possible, SUZUKI recom-
mends you install child restraints in the
rear seat.
The front passenger sensing system is
designed to enable the front passenger’s
front air bag when the system senses a
properly-seated adult in the front passen-
ger’s seat. When the passenger sensing
system has allowed the front air bag to be
enabled, the “PASS AIRBAG OFF” indica-
tor will remain off to remind you that the air
bag is active.
If a person of adult size is sitting in the
front passenger’s seat and the “PASS AIR-
BAG OFF” indicator comes on, it could be
because that person isn’t sitting properly in
the seat. If this happens, unfasten the seat
belt, sit upright in the center of the seat
with the seatback nearly vertical and your
legs outstretched, and refasten the seat
belt.
WARNING
Do not install a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger’s
seat. If the passenger’s air bag
inflates, a child in a rear-facing child
restraint could be seriously injured.
The back of a rear-facing child
restraint would be too close to the
inflating air bag.

52D258
When seated as shown in the above illus-
tration, the front passenger sensing sys-
tem senses a properly-seated occupant
and enables the air bag.
When using a seat belt extender, follow the
instructions in the “Seat Belt Extender”
section.
WARNING
The front passenger sensing system
may not work properly in the follow-
ing situations:
The occupant is not wearing the
seat belt properly.
The occupant is sitting near the
dashboard or is not sitting in the
proper position.
A rear seat occupant is pushing or
pulling on the seatback or is push-
ing up the seat cushion using their
feet.
Objects placed under the seat are
pushing up on the seat cushion.
Heavy objects are hanging on the
seatback.
WARNING
If the “AIR BAG” light in the instru-
ment cluster ever comes on and
stays on, it means that something
may be wrong with the air bag sys-
tem. If this ever happens, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
SUZUKI dealer immediately, because
the air bags may not offer the protec-
tion for which they were designed.
WARNING
If the “PASS AIRBAG OFF” indicator
on the information display turns on
even though there is no occupant or
an adult occupant in the front pas-
senger’s seat, it means that some-
thing may be wrong with the
passenger sensing system. Have the
system inspected by an authorized
SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
WARNING
Do not spill any liquids on the seat.
Liquids can damage the sensors
under the front seat.
Have the driver’s seat position sen-
sor and the front passenger’s seat
weight sensors inspected by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer after a
collision.
Do not replace the front seats. If
you replace them, the air bags and
front passenger sensing system
may not work properly.
Do not use a seat cover. If you use
a seat cover, the front passenger
sensing system may not work prop-
erly.
