Installation suitability of chi ld restraint systems (For models with front passenger air bag deactivation system)
CAUTION
Adjust the height of the rear head restraint or remove it for f itting the child restraint, as necessary. However, if a booster
cushion not equipped with the head restraint is fitted, the rea r seat head restraint should not be removed. If the rear head
restraint is removed for fitting the child restraint, you need to install it again after removing the child restraint.
If the child restraint is fitted improperly, a child sitting in it could be injured in a crash. (Refer to “Installation with l ap-shoul-
der seat belts” section, “Instal lation with ISOFIX type anchora ges” section and “Installation of child restraint with top teth er”

80JC021
(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.
• If you must install the child restraint sys-
tem on the front passe nger’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 t he most rear position
by the seat position adjustment lever.
– Adjust the seatba ck at the 5th step
inclined position (counted from most
upright position) w ith 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, appr opriately slide the
front seat forward not to touch a part of
your child’s body.
CAUTION
Adjust the height of the rear head
restraint or remove it for fitting the
child restraint, as necessary. How-
ever, if a booster cushion not
equipped with the head restraint is
fitted, the rear seat head restraint
should not be removed. If the rear
head restraint is removed for fitting
the child restraint, you need to install
it again after removing the child
restraint.
If the child restraint is fitted improp-
erly, a child sitting in it could be
injured in a crash.

Installation of child restraint with top tether
75RM105
Some child restraint systems require the
use of a top tether strap. Top tether anchor-
age brackets are provided in your vehicle at
the locations shown in the illustrations.
The number of the top tether anchorage
brackets provided in your vehicle depends
on the vehicle specification. Install the child
restraint system as follows:
1) Remove the luggage compartment cover
(if equipped).2) Secure the child restraint on the rear
seat using the procedure described
above for securing a restraint system
that does not require a top tether strap.
3) Hook the top tether strap to the top tether anchorage bracket and tighten
the top tether strap according to the
instructions provided by the child
restraint system manufacturer. Attach
the top tether strap to the correspond-
ing top tether anchorage bracket
located directly behind the child
restraint. Do not attach the top tether
strap to the luggage restraint loops (if
equipped).
54P000264
4) When routing the top tether strap, passthe top tether strap as shown in the
illustration. (Refer to “Head restraints”
section for details on how to remove the
head restraint.)
5) Check that cargo does not interfere with routing of the top tether strap.
NOTE:
For Australia:
For additional information, refer to the
“SUPPLEMENT” section at the end of this
book.

Seat belt pretensioner system
63J269
To determine if your vehicle is equipped
with a seat belt pretensioner system at the
front or rear seating positions, check the
label on the seat belt at the bottom part. If
the letters “p” and/or “PRE” appear as illus-
trated, your vehicle is equipped with the
seat belt pretensioner system. You can use
the pretensioner seat belts in the same
manner as ordinary seat belts.
Read this section and “Supplemental
restraint system (air bags)” section to learn
more about the pretensioner system.
The seat belt pretensioner system works
with the supplemental r estraint system (air
bags). The crash sensors and the elec-
tronic controller of t he air bag system also
control the seat belt pretensioners. The
pretensioners are triggered only when
there is a frontal or side crash severe
enough to trigger the air bags and the seat
belts are fastened. For precautions and
general information including servicing the
pretensioner system, refer to “Supplemen-
tal restraint system (air bags)” section in
addition to this “Seat belt pretensioner sys-
tem” section, and follow all those precau-
tions.
The pretensioner is located in each front
seat belt retractor and both side of the rear
seat belt retractor (if equipped). The pre-
tensioner tightens the seat belt so the belt
fits the occupant’s body more snugly in the
event of a frontal or side crash. The retrac-
tors will remain locked after the pretension-
ers are activated. Upon activation, some noise will occur and some smoke may be
released. These conditions are not harmful
and do not indicate a fire in the vehicle.
The driver and all passengers must be
properly restrained by fastening seat belts
at all times, whether or not a pretensioner
is equipped at their seating position, to
minimize the risk of severe injury or death
in the event o
f a crash.
Sit fully back in the seat; sit up straight; do
not lean forward or sideways. Adjust the
belt so the lap portion of the belt is worn
low across the pelvis , not across the waist.
Please refer to “Seat adjustment” section
and the instructions and precautions about
the seat belts in this “Seat belts and child
restraint systems” section for details on
proper seat and seat belt adjustments.
Please note that the pretensioners along
with the air bags will activate in severe
frontal or side crashes. They are not
designed to activate in rear impacts, roll-
overs, or minor frontal side crashes. The
pretensioners can be activated only once.
If the pretensioners are activated (that is, if
the air bags are activated), have the pre-
tensioner system serviced by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.

does not blink or come on briefly when the

or the ignition mode is first changed to ON,
or AIR BAG light stays on, or comes on

NOTE:
For the label of Taiwan models, refer to

Front air bags
63J259
Front air bags are designed to inflate in
severe frontal crashes when the ignition
switch is in “ON” position or the ignition
mode is ON.
NOTE:
In a frontal angle crash, the side air bags (if
equipped) and side curtain air bags (if
equipped) may inflate.
Front air bags are not designed to inflate in
rear impacts, side impacts, rollovers or
minor frontal crashes, since they would
offer no protection in
those types of acci-
dents. Since an air bag deploys only one
time during an accident, seat belts are
needed to restrain occupants from further
movements during the accident.
WA R N I N G
An air bag supplements or adds to
the crash protectio n offered by seat
belts. The driver and all passengers
must be properly restrained by fas-
tening 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 use a rearward facing child
restraint on a seat protected by an
ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH
or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD
can occur.EXAMPLE
EXAMPLE

Therefore, an air bag is not a substitute for
seat belts. To maximize your protection,
always fasten your seat belts. Be aware
that no system can prevent all possible
injuries that may occur in an accident.
Driver’s front air bag
81P30640
Front passenger’ s front air bag

The driver’s front air bag is located behind
the center pad of the steering wheel and
the front passenger’s front air bag is
located behind the passenger’s side of the
dashboard.
The words “SRS AIRBAG” are molded into
the air bag covers to identify the location of
the air bags.

EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
If the air bag stored place is damaged
or cracked, the air bag system may
not work properly, which could result
in serious injury in the event of a
crash. Have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized SUZUKI dealer.EXAMPLE
WA 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.
