(Vehicle with the front passenger air
bag deactivation system)
When using a child restraint system
on the front passenger’s seat, the
front passenger’s air bag system
must be deactivated; otherwise
deployment of the front passenger’s
air bag could result in the death or
serious injury of the child.
WA R N I N G
If you install a child restraint system
in the rear seat, slide the front seat
far enough forward so that the child’s
feet do not touch the front seatback.
This will help avoid injury to the child
in the event of an accident.
WA R N I N G

are not properly secured in the vehi-
cle. When installing a child restraint
system, follow the instructions

(For models with front passenger air bag
deactivation system)
Whenever possible, SUZUKI recom-
mends that child restraint systems be
installed on the rear seat. According to
accident statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in rear seating posi-
tions than in front seating positions.

tem on the front passenger’s seat, follow
instructions below.
– Deactivate the front passenger’s front
air bag by the front passenger air bag
deactivation system.
– Slide the seat to the most rear position
by the seat position adjustment lever.
– Adjust the seatback at the 5th step
inclined position (counted from most
upright position) with the seatback
angle adjustment lever.
– If your vehicle is equipped with the
seat height adjustment lever, raise the
seat to the uppermost position by the
seat height adjustment lever.
Install your child restraint system accord-
ing to the instructions provided by the child
restraint system manufacturer.
Check that the seat belt is securely
latched.
Move the child restraint system in all direc-
tions to check that it is securely installed.
When you put your child in the child
restraint system, appropriately slide the
front seat forward not to touch a part of
your child’s body.
