Keyless push start system
remote controller / Keyless
entry system transmitter
68LM205
Your vehicle is equipped with either a key-
less push start system remote controller
(Type A) or a keyless entry system trans-
mitter (Type B). The remote controller has
a keyless entry system and a keyless push
start system. The transmitter has only a
keyless entry system. For details, refer to
the following explanations.
WA R N I N G
Always check that the tailgate is
closed and latched securely. Com-
pletely closing the tailgate helps pre-
vent occupants from being thrown
from the vehicle in the event of an
accident. Completely closing it also
helps keep exhaust gases from enter-
ing the vehicle.
CAUTION
Check that there is no one near the
tailgate when pushing open the tail-
gate from inside the vehicle.

WA R N I N G
If you need to carry cargo in the pas-
senger compartment with the rear
seatback folded forward, secure the
cargo or it may be thrown about,
causing injury. Never pile cargo
higher than the seatbacks.
CAUTION
When returning the rear seatback to
the normal position, be careful that
your finger is not caught between the
lock and the striker.
NOTICE
When returning the rear seatback to
the normal position, check that there
is nothing around the striker. Any for-
eign materials prevent the seatback
from being locked securely.

NOTICE
• When returning the rear seatback
to the normal position, do not allow
any foreign material to enter the
lock opening. This may prevent the
seatback from being locked
securely.
• When returning the rear seatback
to the normal position, handle it
carefully by hand to avoid any dam-
age to the lock itself. Do not push it
by using some material or by
applying excessive force.
• As the lock is designed exclusively
for securing the rear seatback, do
not use it for any other purpose.
Incorrect use of it may cause dam-
age to the inside of the lock and
prevent the seatback from being
locked securely.

Seat belts and child restraint
systems
65D231S65D606 65D201
WA R N I N G
Wear your seat belts at all times.
WA R N I N G
An air bag supplements or adds to
the frontal crash protection offered
by seat belts. The driver and all pas-
sengers must be properly restrained
by fastening 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.
WA R N I N G
• Never allow persons to ride in the
cargo area of a vehicle. In the event
of an accident, there is a much
greater risk of injury for persons
who are not riding in a seat with
their seat belt securely fastened.
• Seat belts should always be
adjusted as follows:
– the lap portion of the belt should
be worn low across the pelvis,
not across the waist.
– the shoulder straps should be
worn on the outside shoulder
only, and never under the arm.
– the shoulder straps should be
away from your face and neck,
but not falling off your shoulder.
(Continued)
Above the pelvis
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• Seat belts should never be worn
with the straps twisted and should
be adjusted as tightly as is com-
fortable to provide the protection
for which they have been designed.
A slack belt will provide less pro-
tection than a snug belt.
• Check that each seat belt buckle is
inserted into the proper buckle
catch. It is possible to cross the
buckles in the rear seat.

Shoulder anchor height adjuster
64J198
Adjust the shoulder anchor height so that
the shoulder belt rides on the center of the
outboard shoulder. To move upward, slide
the anchor up. To move downward, slide
the anchor down while pulling the lock
knob out. After adjustment, check that the
anchor is securely locked.
Rear outside seat belt guide
54P000261
Rear outside seat belt guides (1) are pro-
vided on the lateral face of rear seat as
shown in the illustration.
When the rear seat belt is not fastened,
hook the webbing on the belt guide.
When the rear seat belt is fastened,
unhook the webbing from the belt guide.
WA R N I N G
Check that the shoulder belt is posi-
tioned on the center of the outside
shoulder. The belt should be away
from your face and neck, but not fall-
ing off your shoulder. Misadjustment
of the belt could reduce the effective-
ness of the seat belt in a crash.
EXAMPLE
(1)
WA R N I N G
If rear outside seat belt is fastened
without unhooking the webbing from
the belt guide (1), the seat belt does
not show full performance in the
event of accident and can result in
serious personal injury.
Unhook the webbing from the belt
guide whenever the seat belt is fas-
tened.

Child restraint
80JC016
Booster seat
80JC008
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; checkthat the restraint system you select meets
applicable safety standards.
All child restraint systems are designed to
be secured in vehicle seats either by seat
belts (lap belts or the lap portion of lap-
shoulder belts) or by special rigid lower
anchor bars built into the seat. Whenever
possible, SUZUKI recommends that child
restraint systems be installed on the rear
seat. According to accident statistics, chil-
dren are safer when properly restrained in
rear seating positions than in front seating
positions.
(For EU countries)
When purchasing a child restraint and
install it to your SUZUKI vehicle, refer to
the information about suitability for child
restraints shown in “Child restraint system”
in this section.
NOTE:
Observe any statutory regulation about
child restraints.
58MS030
EXAMPLE
EXAMPLEWA R N I N G
(Vehicle without the front passenger
air bag deactivation system)
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.
