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; make
sure that the restraint system you select
meets applicable safety standards.
All child restraint systems are designed to
be secured in vehicle seats by either seat
belts (lap belts or the lap portion of lap-
shoulder belts). Whenever possible,
SUZUKI recommends that child restraint
systems be installed on the rear seat.
According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in rear
seating positions than in front seating posi-
tions.
If you must use a front-facing child restraint
in the front passenger’s seat, adjust the
passenger’s seat as far back as possible.
NOTE:
Observe any statutory regulation about
child restraints.

WARNING
If your vehicle is equipped with a
front passenger air bag, do not install
a rear-facing child restraint in the
front passenger’s seat. If the passen-
ger’s air bag inflates, a child in a rear-
facing child restraint could be killed
or seriously injured. The back of a
rear-facing child restraint would be
too close to the inflating air bag.
WARNING
If you install a child restraint system
in the 2nd row seat, slide the seat
installed the child restraint system as
far back as possible. If you install a
child restraint system in the 3rd row
seat, slide the seat in front of the seat
installed a child restraint system
enough forward so that the child’s
feet do not contact the front seat-
back. These will help avoid injury to
the child in the event of an accident.

WARNING
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.
WARNING
Do not use a rearward facing child
restraint on a seat protected by an
airbag in front of it.EXAMPLE
WARNING
If the AIR BAG light in the instrument
cluster ever comes on and stays on,
it means that something may be
wrong with the air bag system. If this
ever happens, have the vehicle ser-
viced immediately, because the air
bags may not offer the protection for
which they were designed.

How the System WorksIn a frontal collision, the crash sensors will
detect rapid deceleration, and if the con-
troller judges that the deceleration repre-
sents a severe frontal crash, the controller
will trigger the inflators. The inflators inflate
the appropriate air bags with nitrogen or
argon gas. The inflated air bags provide a
cushion for your head and upper body. The
air bag inflates and deflates so quickly that
you may not even realize that it has acti-
vated. 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. 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 vehicle. 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. Please refer
to the “Seat Adjustment” section and the
“Seat Belts and Child Restraint Systems”
in this section for details on proper seat
and seat belt adjustments.

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. In these situations, the out-
of-position occupant would be too
close to an inflating air bag, and
may suffer severe injury.
 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.

60MK0-14E
Vehicle LoadingYour vehicle was designed for specific
weight capacities. The weight capacities of
your vehicle are indicated by the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and the
Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR, front
and rear). The GVWR and GAWR (front
and rear) are listed in the “SPECIFICA-
TIONS” section.
GVWR – Maximum permissible overall
weight of the fully loaded vehicle (including
all the occupants, accessories and cargo
plus the trailer nose weight if towing a
trailer).
GAWR – (Front and Rear) Maximum per-
missible weight on an individual axle.
Actual weight of the loaded vehicle and
actual loads at the front and rear axles can
only be determined by weighing the vehi-
cle. Compare these weights to the GVWR
and GAWR (front and rear). If the gross
vehicle weight or the load on either axle
exceeds these ratings, you must remove
enough weight to bring the load down to
the rated capacity.
Trailer TowingYour SUZUKI was originally designed to
carry people and a normal amount of
cargo, not to tow a trailer. SUZUKI does
not recommend you use your vehicle to
tow a trailer. Towing a trailer can adversely
affect handling, durability, and fuel econ-
omy.
WARNING
Never overload your vehicle. The
gross vehicle weight (sum of the
weights of the vehicle, all the occu-
pants, accessories, cargo plus trailer
nose weight if towing a trailer) must
never exceed the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR). In addition,
never distribute a load so that the
weight on either the front or rear axle
exceeds the Gross Axle Weight Rat-
ing (GAWR).
WARNING
Always distribute cargo evenly. To
avoid personal injury or damage to
your vehicle, always secure cargo to
prevent it from shifting if the vehicle
moves suddenly. Place heavier
objects on the floor and as far for-
ward in the cargo area as possible.
Never pile cargo higher than the top
of the seat backs.
