The pretensioner is located in each front seat belt retractor and each rear seat belt retractor in outboard seating position. The pretensioner tightens the seat belt so the belt fits the occupant's body more snugly in the event of a frontal or side collision. The retractors will remain locked after the pre­tensioners 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 of a collision.
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 airbags will activate in severe fron­tal or side collisions. They are not designed to activate in rear impacts, roll­overs, or minor frontal side collisions. The pretensioners can be activated only once. If the pretensioners are activated (that is, if the airbags are activated), have the pre­tensioner system serviced by a SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
FOR SAFE DRIVING
If AIRBAG light on the instrument cluster does not blink or come on briefiy when the ignition switch is turned to "ON" position, stays on for more than 1 O seconds, or comes on while driving, the pretensioner system or the airbag system may not work properly. Have both systems inspected by a SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
Service on or around the pretensioner sys­tem components or wiring must be per­formed only by a SUZUKI dealer who is specially trained. Improper service could result in unintended activation of preten­sioners or could render the pretensioner inoperative. Either of these two conditions may result in personal injury.
To prevent damage or unintended activa­tion of the pretensioners, check that the lead-acid battery is disconnected and the ignition switch has been in "LOCK" position for at least 90 seconds before performing any electrical service work on your SUZUKI vehicle.
Do not touch pretensioner system compo­nents or wiring. The wires are wrapped with yellow tape or yellow tubing, and the couplers are yellow. When scrapping your SUZUKI vehicle, ask a SUZUKI dealer, body repair shop, or scrap yard for assis­tance.

A WARNING
(Continued) For vehicles with side airbags, do not use non-genuine seat covers on the front seats, because non­genuine seat covers may obstruct the inflation of side airbags. Suzuki highly recommends Suzuki-genu­ine seat covers to be used when covering the front seats of such vehicles with side airbags. Also, near the door, do not place cup holders, hangers or any other objects and do not lean an umbrella, as these objects could be propelled by the airbag in the event of a collision. Either of these condi­tions may cause severe injury. Do not strike or apply significant levels of impact to the airbag com­ponent areas. It can cause the air­bags to malfunction.
Even though your vehicle is moderately damaged by a collision, it may not be severe enough to trigger front, side or side curtain airbags to inflate. If your vehicle sustains any front-end or side damage, have the airbag system inspected by a SUZUKI dealer to ensure that ii works properly.
Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnostic module which records information about the airbag system if the airbags deploy in a collision. The module records information about overall system status, and which sensors activated the deployment, and for a certain vehicle only, whether the driver's seat belt was in use.
Servicing the airbag system If the airbags inflate, have the airbags and related components replaced by a SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
If your vehicle ever gets in deep water and the driver's floor is submerged, the airbag controller could be damaged. If this hap­pens, ask a SUZUKI dealer to check the airbag system as soon as possible.
FOR SAFE DRIVING
Special procedures are required for servic­ing or replacing an airbag. For that reason, only a SUZUKI dealer should be allowed to service or replace your airbags. Remind anyone who services your SUZUKI vehicle that it has airbags.
Service on or around airbag components or wiring must be performed only by a SUZUKI dealer. Improper service could result in unintended airbag deployment or could render the airbag inoperative. Either of these two conditions may result in severe injury.
To prevent damage or unintended inflation of the airbag system, check that the lead­acid battery is disconnected and the igni­tion switch has been in "LOCK" position for at least 90 seconds before performing any electrical service work on your SUZUKI vehicle. Do not touch airbag system com­ponents or wires. The wires are wrapped with yellow tape or yellow tubing, and the couplers are yellow for easy identification.
Scrapping a vehicle that has an uninflated airbag can be hazardous. Ask a SUZUKI dealer, body repair shop or scrap yard for help with disposal.

BEFORE DRIVING
Trip meter The trip meter can be used to measure the distance traveled on short trips or between fuel stops. You can use the trip meter A or trip meter B independently.
To reset the trip meter, push and hold the trip meter selector knob (1) until the display shows a.a.
NOTE: The indicated maximum value of the trip meter is 9999.9. When you run past the maximum value, the indicated value will return to 0. 0. ·
Odometer The odometer records the total distance the vehicle has been driven.
NOTICE
Keep track of your odometer reading and check the maintenance sched­ule regularly for required services. Increased wear or damage to certain parts can result from failure to per­form required services at the proper mileage intervals.
2-21
Instantaneous fuel consumption The display shows the value of instanta­neous fuel consumption only when the vehicle is moving.
NOTE: The display does not show the value unless the vehicle is moving. Depending on the vehicle's specification, the fuel consumption units of initial set­ting are indicated as U100km or km/L. For "U100km" setting, the indicated maximum value of instantaneous fuel consumption is 30. No more than 30 will be indicated on the display even if the actual instantaneous fuel consumption is higher. For "km/L" setting, the indicated maxi­mum value of instantaneous fuel con­sumption is 50. No more than 50 will be indicated on the display even if the actual instantaneous fuel consumption is higher. The indication on the display may be delayed if fuel consumption is greatly affected by driving conditions. The display shows estimated values. Indications may not be the same as actual values. For "U100km" or "km/L" setting, you can change the units that instantaneous fuel consumption is displayed in. Refer to ',<\verage fuel consumption" in this sec­tion.
Average fuel consumption If you previously selected average fuel consumption setting, the display shows average fuel consumption from the last reset to the present when the ignition switch is turned "ON".
To reset the average fuel consumption, push and hold the indicator selector knob (2) for a while when the display shows the average fuel consumption.
NOTE: When you reset the indication or reconnect the terminals to the lead-acid battery, the value of average fuel consumption will be shown after driving for a while.
