(if equipped)
Pull the lever up and move the seatback.
After adjustment, move the seat and seat-
back forward and backward to check that it
is securely latched.
Head restraintsHead 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
75RM006
To raise the rear head restraint, pull
upward the head restraint until it clicks. To
lower the head restraint, push down the
head restraint while holding in the lock
lever. If a head restraint must be removed
(for cleaning, replacement, etc.), push in
the lock lever and pull the head restraint all
the way out.
When installing a chil
d restraint system,
adjust the height of the head restraint or
remove it for fitting the child restraint, as
necessary.

Seat belts and child restraint systems
65D231S65D606
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
Do not modify, remove, disassemble
seat belts. Doing so may prevent
them from functioning properly and
cause 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 sec urely fastened.
• Seat belts should always be
adjusted as follows:
– the lap portion of the belt shouldbe 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)

• Seat belts should never be wornwith 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. (Continued)
Across the pelvis
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• Pregnant women should use seatbelts, 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)

Lap-shoulder beltEmergency locking retractor (ELR)
The seat belt has an emergency locking
retractor (ELR), which is designed to lock
the seat belt only during a sudden stop or
impact. It also may lock if you pull the belt
across your body very quickly. If this hap-
pens, let the belt go back to unlock it, and
then pull the belt across your body more
slowly.
Safety reminder
60A03860A040
To reduce the risk of sliding under the belt
during a crash, position the lap portion of
the belt across your lap as low on your hips
as possible and adjust it to a snug fit by
pulling the shoulder portion of the belt
upward through the latch plate. The length
of the diagonal shoulder s
trap adjusts itself
to allow freedom of movement.
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• For child, if the seat belt irritates
the neck or face, use a child
restraint system appropriately for
the child. The seat belts of your
vehicle are principally designed for
persons of adult size.
• 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.

Periodically check if the seat belts work
properly and are not damaged. Check the
webbing, buckles, latch plates, retractors,
anchorages and guide loops. Replace any
seat belts which do not work properly or
are damaged.

EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
Inspect all seat belt assemblies after
any crash. Any seat belt assembly
which was in use during a crash
(other than a very minor one) should
be replaced, even if damage to the
assembly is not obvious. Any seat
belt assembly which was not in use
during a crash should be replaced if
it does not function properly, it is
damaged in any way or the seat belt
pretensioners were activated (that is,
if the front air bags were activated).

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; check
that the restraint syst em 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 Countries applied for UN Regula-
tion No.16)
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
for countries applied for UN Regulation
No.16” in this section.
NOTE:
Observe any statutory regulation about
child restraints.

EXAMPLEEXAMPLE
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.

65D60865D609
WA R N I N G
(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
Children could be endangered in a
crash if their child restraint systems
are not properly secured in the vehi-
cle. When installing a child restraint
system, follow the instructions
below. Secure the child in the
restraint system according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.

Child restraint system for countries applied for UN Regulation No.16Child restraintThe suitability of each passenger’s seat position for carriage of children and fitting of child restraint system is shown in t he table below.
Whenever you carry children under 12 years of age or smaller th an 150 cm, properly use the child restraints which conform to UN Regu-
lation No. 44, the standard for child restraints, referring to the table.
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”
section in this sect ion for details.)
