If you cannot unlatch the tailgate by push-
ing the unlatch switch (1) due to a dis-
charged battery or malfunction, follow the
procedure below to unlatch the tailgate
from inside the vehicle.
1) Fold the rear seat forward for easier
access. Refer to “Folding rear seats”
section for details on how to fold the
rear seat forward.

2) Push open the tailgate from inside by
pushing up on the emergency lever (2)
using a flat-bladed screwdriver or the
jack handle. The tailgate will be latched
again by closing the tailgate simply.
If the tailgate cannot be unlatched by push-
ing the unlatch switch (1), have the vehicle
inspected by your SUZUKI dealer.

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.

1) Move the selector switch to the left or
right to select the mirror you wish to
adjust.
2) Press the outer part of the switch that
corresponds to the direction in which
you wish to move the mirror.
3) Return the selector switch to the center
position to help prevent unintended
adjustment.
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with the heated
outside rearview mirrors, refer to “Heated

You can fold the mirrors when you park the
vehicle in a narrow space. When the igni-
tion switch is in “ACC” or “ON” position, or
the ignition mode is “ACC” or “ON”, push

a hand. Do not allow anyone’s hand
to get near the mirrors when folding
and unfolding the mirrors.

EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
Never attempt to adjust the driver’s
seat or seatback while driving. The
seat or seatback could move unex-
pectedly, causing loss of control.
Check that the driver’s seat and seat-
back are properly adjusted before
you start driving.
WA R N I N G
To avoid excessive seat belt slack,
which reduces the effectiveness of
the seat belts as a safety device,
check that the seats are adjusted
before the seat belts are fastened.
WA R N I N G
All seatbacks should always be in an
upright position when driving, or seat
belt effectiveness may be reduced.
Seat belts are designed to offer maxi-
mum protection when seatbacks are
in the upright position.

Improperly using the seat heater can
be hazardous. An occupant can suf-
fer burns even if the heating tempera-
ture is fairly low, if the occupant
wears thin pants, a thin skirt or
shorts and leaves the heater on for
long periods.
Avoid using the seat heater for these
occupants:
• People who have reduced feeling in
their legs, including the elderly or
those with certain disabilities.
• Small children or anyone with sen-
sitive skin.
• People who are asleep or under the
influence of alcohol or other drugs
which make them tired.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging the heater ele-
ment:
• Do not subject the front seats to
heavy impacts, such as children
jumping on them.
• Do not cover the seat with any
insulating materials such as blan-
kets or cushions.

Head restraints
Head restraints are designed to help
reduce the risk of neck injuries in the case
of an accident.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to fold forward the
seatback to provide enough overhead
clearance to remove the head restraint.
Adjust the head restraint to the position
which places the center of the head
restraint closest to the top of your ears. If
this is not possible for very tall passengers,
adjust the head restraint as high as possi-
ble.Rear
61MM0A033
To raise the rear head restraint, pull
upward the restraint until it clicks. To lower
the restraint, push down the restraint while
holding in the lock lever. If a head restraint
must be removed (for cleaning, replace-
ment, etc.), push in the lock lever and pull
the head restraint all the way out.
When installing a child restraint system,
remove the head restraint.
Folding rear seats
The rear seats of your vehicle can be
folded forward to provide additional cargo
space.
To fold the rear seats forward:
1) Lower the head restraint fully.
2) Hook the webbing of rear seat belts on
the belt guide. For details on rear out-
side seat belt guide, refer to “Rear out-
side seat belt guide” in this section.
3) Stow the rear center lap-shoulder belt.
Refer to “Lap-shoulder belt with detach-
able connector” in this section.

4) Pull the release lever on the top of each
split seat, and fold the seatbacks for-
ward.

• Never drive the vehicle with the
head restraints removed.
• Do not attempt to adjust the head
restraint while driving.

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.

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.

Even though your vehicle is moderately
damaged by a crash, it may not be severe
enough to trigger front, side or side curtain
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 that it works
properly.
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, and 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
authorized SUZUKI dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
If your vehicle ever gets in deep water and
the driver’s floor is submerged, the air bag
controller could be damaged. If this hap-
WA R N I N G
• 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. For vehicles with side air
bags and side curtain air bag,
occupants should not lean on or
sleep against the door. In these sit-
uations, the out-of-position occu-
pant 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.
• For vehicles with side air bags, do
not place seat covers on the front
seats, because seat covers could
restrict the air bag’s inflation. Also,
do not place any cup holders on the
door, as the cup holder could be
propelled by the air bag in the event
of a crash. Either of these condi-
tions may cause severe injury.

• Do not paint, put a sticker on, or
attach things like accessories to
the dashboard below the steering
wheel. Failure to observe this pre-
caution may prevent normal infla-
tion of the driver’s knee air bag in
the event of a crash.

NOTE:
• Even when the remote controller is in the
interior workable area, if it is in any of the

WA R N I N G
• Never drive your vehicle with the
parking brake on: rear brake effec-
tiveness can be reduced from over-
heating, brake life may be
shortened, or permanent brake
damage may result.
• If the parking brake does not hold
the vehicle securely or does not
fully release, have your vehicle
inspected immediately by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer.
