Driver's seat belt reminder If the driver's seat belt remains unbuckled when the ignition switch is turned to "ON" position, the reminder works as follows: 1) The driver's seat belt reminder light will come on. The front passenger's seat
belt reminder light will also come on if a front passenger does not fasten his/her seat belt. 2) After the vehicle's speed has reached about 15 km/h, the driver's seat belt reminder light will blink and a buzzer will sound for about 95 seconds. 3) The reminder light will remain on until the driver's seat belt is buckled. If the driver has buckled his or her seat belt and later unbuckles the seat belt, the reminder system will be activated from Step 1) or 2) according to the vehicle's speed. When the vehicle's speed is less than 15 km/h, the reminder will start from Step 1 ). When the vehicle's speed is more than 15 km/h, the reminder will start from Step 2). The reminder will be automatically can­celed when the driver's seat belt is buckled or the ignition switch is turned off.
Front passenger's seat belt reminder (if equipped) If there is a person sitting in the front pas­senger seat and the front passenger seat belt is unbuckled when the ignition switch is turned to "ON" position, the front pas­senger's seat belt reminder will activate. The front passenger's seat belt reminder works in the same manner as the driver's seat belt reminder.

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.

Front airbags
63J259
Front airbags are designed to infiate in severe frontal collisions when the ignition switch is in "ON" position.
NOTE: In a frontal angle collision, the side airbags and side cwtain airbags may inflate.
Front airbags are not designed to infiate in rear impacts, side impacts, rollovers or minor frontal collisions, since they would offer no protection in those types of acci­dents. Since an airbag deploys only one time during an accident, seat belts are needed to restrain occupants from further movements during the accident.
1-37
Therefore, an airbag is not a substitute for Front passenger's front airbag 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 airbag
D
SRS AIRBAG
78RB02023
SRS AIRBAG
78RB02024
The driver's front airbag is located behind the canter pad of the steering wheel and the front passenger's front airbag is located behind the passenger's side of the dashboard. The words "SRS AIRBAG" are melded into the airbag covers to identify the location of the airbags.
A WARNING
If the airbag stored place is damaged or cracked, the airbag system may not work properly, which could result in serious injury in the event of a col­lision. Have your vehicle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.

FOR SAFE DRIVING
A seat belt helps keep you in the proper po_sition for maximum protection when an airbag infiates. Adjust your seat as far back as possible while still maintaining control of the vehicle. Sit fully back in your seat; sit up straight; do not lean over the steering wheel or dashboard. Front occu­pants should not lean on or sleep against the door. Refer to "Seat adjustment" sec­tion and "Seat belts and child restraint sys­tems" section in this section for details on proper seat and seat belt adjustments.
1-45
A WARNING
• The driver should not lean over the steering wheel. The front passen­ger should not rest his or her body against the dashboard, or other­wise get too close to the dash­board. For vehicles with side airbags and side curtain airbag, occupants should not lean on or sleep against the door. In these sit­uations, the out-of-position occu­pant would be too close to an inflating airbag, 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 airbag and the driver or front passenger. These objects may interfere with airbag operation or may be pro­pelled by the airbag in the event of a collision. Also, these objects may move when you start moving vehi­cle or while vehicle is moving, they may interfere with driver's view or safe driving. In each conditions may cause severe injury. (Continued)

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.

NOTE: If you lose your immobilizer ignition key, ask a SUZUKI dealer as soon as possi­ble to deactivate the lost one, and to make a new key. If you own other vehicles with immobi­lizer keys, keep those keys away from the ignition switch when using your SUZUKI vehicle. Otherwise, the engine may not be started because they may interfere with your SUZUKI vehicle's immobilizer system. If you attach any metal objects to the immobilizer key, it may not start the engine.
NOTICE
The immobilizer key is sensitive elec­tronic instruments. To avoid damag­ing them: Do not expose them to impacts, moisture or high temperature such as on the dashboard under direct sunlight. Keep them away from magnetic objects.
