Pinching prevention function
The driver’s window is equipped with a
pinching prevention function. This function
detects a foreign object that is caught in
the window as it is being closed by AUTO-
UP feature, which allows you to close the
window without holding the window switch
in UP position, and stops the window from
closing to prevent damage.
NOTE:
Even if you cannot close the window by the
AUTO-UP feature because there may be
something wrong with the pinching preven-
tion function, you can close the window by
holding the window switch in UP position.
If you drive in extreme off-road condition,
the pinching prevention function may oper-
ate accidentally because the window
reacts to vehicle jolting.
Pinching prevention function initializa-
tion
When you disconnect and reconnect the
battery or replace the fuse, the function will
be deactivated. In this condition, the
AUTO-DOWN feature will be deactivated,
while the AUTO-UP feature may remain
activated. The pinching prevention function
needs to be initialized.To initialize the pinching prevention func-
tion, use the following procedure:
1) Turn the ignition switch to “ON” position
or press the engine switch to change
the ignition mode to “ON”.
2) Open the driver’s window fully by hold-
ing the window switch in DOWN posi-
tion.
3) Close the driver’s window by holding
the switch in UP position, and keep
holding the switch for 2 seconds after
the window is fully closed.
4) Check the driver’s window to see if the
AUTO-DOWN/UP feature works.
If the AUTO-DOWN/UP feature will not
work after initialization, there might be
something wrong with the pinching preven-
tion function. Have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized SUZUKI dealer.
WA R N I N G
To avoid injuring an occupant by win-
dow entrapment, check that no part
of the occupant’s body such as
hands or head is in the path of the
electric window when closing it.
This function may not detect an
object due to the size, hardness, or
position of the object being caught in
the closing window.
CAUTION
• The pinching prevention function
does not operate while you are
holding the window switch in UP
position.
• The pinching prevention function
may not detect an object caught in
the window just before the window
is fully closed.
WA R N I N G
Whenever you disconnect and recon-
nect the battery or replace the fuse,
the pinching prevention function
needs to be initialized.
The pinching prevention function will
not be activated until the initialization
is completed.

• Pregnant women should use seat
belts, although specific recommen-
dations about driving should be
made by the woman’s medical advi-
sor. Remember that the lap portion
of the belt should be worn as low
as possible across the hips, as
shown in the illustration.
• Do not fasten your seat belt over
hard or breakable objects in your
pockets or on your clothing. If an
accident occurs, objects such as
glasses, pens, etc. under the seat
belt can cause injury.
(Continued)
as low as possible
across the hips
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• Never use the same seat belt for
more than one occupant and never
attach a seat belt over an infant or
child being held on an occupant’s
lap. Such seat belt use could cause
serious injury in the event of an
accident.
• Periodically inspect seat belt
assemblies for excessive wear and
damage. Seat belts should be
replaced if webbing becomes
frayed, contaminated or damaged
in any way. It is essential to replace
the entire seat belt assembly after it
has been worn in a severe impact,
even if damage to the assembly is
not obvious.
• Children aged 12 and under should
ride properly restrained in the rear
seat.
• Infants and small children should
never be transported unless they
are properly restrained. Restraint
systems for infants and small chil-
dren can be purchased locally and
should be used. Check that the
system you purchase meets appli-
cable safety standards. Read and
follow all the directions provided
by the manufacturer.
(Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• For children, if the shoulder belt
irritates the neck or face, move the
child closer to the center of the
vehicle.
• Avoid contamination of seat belt
webbing by polishes, oils, chemi-
cals, and particularly battery acid.
Cleaning may safely be carried out
using mild soap and water.
• Do not insert any items such as
coins and clips into the seat belt
buckles, and be careful not to spill
liquids into these parts. If foreign
materials get into a seat belt
buckle, the seat belt may not work
properly.
• All seatbacks should always be in
an upright position when driving,
or seat belt effectiveness may be
reduced. Seat belts are designed to
offer maximum protection when
seatbacks are in the upright posi-
tion.

Driver’s seat belt reminder
If the driver’s seat belt remains unbuckled
when the ignition switch is turned to “ON”
position or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to “ON”, the
reminder works as follows:
1) The driver’s seat belt reminder light will
come on. The front passenger’s seat
belt reminder light (if equipped) will also
come on if a front passenger does not
fasten his/her seat belt.
2) After the vehicle’s speed has reached
about 15 km/h, the driver’s seat belt
reminder light will blink and a buzzer
will sound for about 95 seconds.
3) The reminder light will remain on until
the driver’s seat belt is buckled.
If the driver has buckled his or her seat belt
and later unbuckles the seat belt, the
reminder system will be activated from
Step 1) or 2) according to the vehicle’s
speed. When the vehicle’s speed is less
than 15 km/h, the reminder will start from
Step 1). When the vehicle’s speed is more
than 15 km/h, the reminder will start from
Step 2).
The reminder will be automatically can-
celed when the driver’s seat belt is buckled
or the ignition switch is turned off, or the
engine switch is pressed to change the
ignition mode to “LOCK” (OFF).Front passenger’s seat belt reminder (if
equipped)
The front passenger’s seat belt reminder
will activate only when there is a passen-
ger sitting in the front seat. In some situa-
tions, however, such as when you place
heavy objects in the front seat, the seat
belt reminder can be activated as if a pas-
senger was present. The front passenger’s
seat belt reminder works in the same man-
ner as the driver’s seat belt reminder.
Rear passenger’s seat belt reminder (if
equipped)
If a rear seat belt is not fastened when the
engine is started, all the rear passenger’s
seat belt reminder lights will come on for
about 35 seconds and then go out. Within
this 35 seconds, the corresponding
reminder is highlighted. The reminder
fades when the seat belt is fastened.
The rear passenger’s seat belt reminder
lights will also come on for about 35 sec-
onds in the following conditions.
• If a seat belt is unfastened when the
vehicle speed is less than 15 km/h, the
corresponding light will be highlighted.
• If a seat belt is unfastened when the
vehicle speed is more than 15 km/h, the
corresponding light will be highlighted
and a buzzer will sound.The reminder will be automatically can-
celed when the rear seat belt is buckled or
the ignition switch is turned off, or the
engine switch is pressed to change the
ignition mode to “LOCK” (OFF).

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.
