Seat Belt Inspection
65D209S
Periodically inspect the seat belts to make
sure they work properly and are not dam-
aged. Check the webbing, buckles, latch
plates, retractors, anchorages, and guide
loops. Replace any seat belts which do not
work properly or are damaged.

WARNING
Be sure to inspect all seat belt
assemblies after any collision. Any
seat belt assembly which was in use
during a collision (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 colli-
sion should be replaced if it does not
function properly, it is damaged in
any way or the seat belt pretension-
ers (if equipped) were activated (that
is, if the front air bags were acti-
vated).

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.

If the “AIR BAG” light on the instrument
cluster does not blink or come on 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
(or the seat belt pretensioner system) may
not work properly. Have the air bag system
inspected by an authorized SUZUKI dealer
as soon as possible.
Front Air Bags

Frontal collision range
60G032
Front air bags are designed to inflate in
severe frontal collisions.Front air bags will not inflate
65D236
Front air bags will probably not inflate
65D237
Front air bags are not designed to inflate in
rear impacts, side impacts, rollovers or
minor frontal collisions, since they would
offer no protection in those types of acci-dents. Remember, since an air bag
deploys only one time during an accident,
seat belts are needed to restrain occu-
pants 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.
WARNING
An air bag supplements, or adds 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 an air bag is mounted at their
seating position, to minimize the risk
of severe injury or death in the event
of a crash.

If you must use a front-facing child restraint
in the front passenger’s seat, be sure to
move the front passenger’s seat as far
back as possible. Please refer to “Seat
Belts and Child Restraint Systems” in this
section for details on securing your child.Air bag symbol (if equipped) meaning
58MST0209
You may find this label on the sun visor.
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.
65D610
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.

Note that even though your vehicle may be
moderately damaged in a collision, the col-
lision may not have been severe enough to
trigger the air bags to inflate. If your vehicle
sustains ANY front-end or side damage,
have the air bag system inspected by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer to ensure it is in
proper working order.
Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnostic
module which records information about
the air bag system if the air bags deploy in
a crash. The module records information
about overall system status, which sensors
activated the deployment.Servicing the air bag system
If the air bags inflate, have the air bags and
related components replaced by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
If your vehicle ever gets in deep water and
the driver’s floor is submerged, the air bag
controller could be damaged. If it does,
have the air bag system inspected by the
SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
Special procedures are required for servic-
ing or replacing an air bag. For that reason,
only an authorized SUZUKI dealer should
be allowed to service or replace your air
bags. Please remind anyone who services
your SUZUKI that it has air bags.
Service on or around air bag components
or wiring must be performed only by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer. Improper ser-
vice could result in unintended air bag
deployment or could render the air bag
inoperative. Either of these two conditions
may result in severe injury.
To prevent damage or unintended inflation
of the air bag system, be sure the battery
is disconnected and the ignition switch has
been in the “LOCK” position for at least 90
seconds before performing any electrical
service work on your SUZUKI. Do not
touch air bag system components or wires.
The wires are wrapped with yellow tape or
yellow tubing, and the couplers are yellow
for easy identification.Scrapping a vehicle that has an uninflated
air bag can be hazardous. Ask your dealer,
body repair shop or scrap yard for help
with disposal.
