FOR SAFE DRIVING
A WARNING
Improperly using the seat heater can be hazardous. An occupant can suf­fer burns even if the heating tempera­ture is fairly low, if the occupant is wearing 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 sen­sitive skin. • People who are asleep or under the influence of alcohol or other drugs which make them tired.
1-5
NOTICE
To avoid damaging the heater ele­ment: • 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 blan­kets or cushions.
Rear seats
Head restraints (if equipped)
Head restraints are designed to help reduce the risk of neck injuries in the case of an accident.
A WARNING
Never drive the vehicle with the head restraints removed. Do not attempt to adjust the head restraint while driving.
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 possi­ble.

FOR SAFE DRIVING
A. WARNING
(Continued) Pregnant women should use seat belts, although specific recommen­dations 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)
1-9
A. WARNING
(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)
A. WARNING
(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.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
A WARNING
If the ABS warning light (1) on the instrument cluster comes on and stays on while driving, there may be a problem with the ABS system. Ask a SUZUKI dealer to inspect the ABS system immediately. If the ABS system becomes inoperative, the brake system will function as an ordinary brake system that has no ABS. If the ABS warning light (1) and the brake system warning light (2) on the instrument cluster simultane­ously stay on or come on while driving, both anti-lock function and rear brake force control function (proportioning valve function) of the ABS system may have failed. If so, the rear wheels may easily skid or the vehicle can even spin in the worst case when braking on a slip­pery road or when hard braking even on a dry paved road. Ask a SUZUKI dealer to inspect the ABS system immediately. Drive care­fully, avoiding hard braking as much as possible.
3-55
How ABS works
A computer continuously monitors wheel speed. The computer compares the changes in wheel speed when braking. If the wheels slow suddenly. indicating a skidding situation, the computer will change braking pressure several times each second to prevent the wheels from locking. When you start your vehicle or when you accelerate after a hard stop. you may hear a momentary motor or clicking noise as the system resets or checks itself.
A WARNING
The ABS may not work properly if tyres or wheels other than those specified in the owner's manual are used. This is because the ABS works by comparing changes in wheel speed. When replacing tyres or wheels, use only the size and type specified in this owner's manual.
Electronic stability program
(ESP®)
ESP® is a registered trademark of Daimler
AG.
The Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) helps to control the vehicle during corner­ing if front wheels or rear wheels skid. It also assists you in maintaining traction while accelerating on loose or slippery road surfaces. It does this by regulating the engine's output, and by_ . selective!¥ applying the brakes. In add1t1on, ESP helps to avoid skidding by controlling brak­ing pressure.
A WARNING
The ESP® cannot enhance the vehi­cle's driving stability in all situations and does not control your vehicle's entire braking system. The ESP® can­not prevent accidents, including those resulting from excessive speed in turns, or hydroplaning. Only safe and attentive drive can prevent acci­dents. The capabilities of an ESP®­
equipped vehicle must never be used as a substitute for careful driving.

Narrower Body Width and Track Your vehicle is narrower than the average passenger car so that it can pass through tight spaces. Without the essential charac­teristics described above: higher ground clearance, shorter wheelbase, and nar­rower body width and track -your vehicle could not provide you with excellent off­road driving performance. However, it is also true that on-road driving, handling, and steering will be different from what drivers experience with a conventional passenger car.
On-Paved Road Driving
The data of accidents show that most roll­over accidents for multi-purpose vehicles are caused when a driver loses control of the vehicle and leaves the paved portion of the roadway striking a ditch, curb or other off-road object that causes the vehicle to overturn. The following driving practices may reduce the risk of rollover.
Vehicle Slides Off-Road
You can reduce the risk of this kind of roll­over accident by always keeping the vehi­cle under control. Typically, drivers lose control of vehicles, often resulting in roll­over accidents, when the driver is impaired because of alcohol or other drugs, falls asleep at the wheel or is otherwise inatten­tive, or is driving too fast for the road con­
ditions.
DRIVING TIPS
Rollovers On the Roadway
If, for any reason, your vehicle slides side­ways or spins out of control at highway speeds, while on the paved portion of the roadway, the risk of rollover is greatly increased. This condition can be created when two or more wheels drop off onto the shoulder and you steer sharply in an attempt to reenter the roadway. To reduce the risk of rollover in these circumstances, if conditions permit, you should hold the steering wheel firmly and slow down before pulling back into the travel lanes with controlled steering movements.
All Types of Rollover Accidents
· As with many kinds of automobile acci­dents, rollovers can be greatly reduced by doing what all prudent drivers should do, i.e., don't drink and drive, don't drive when tired and don't do anything behind the wheel that could cause a loss of attention to the driving task. Additional guidelines are set out below for your on-road driving.

Seat belt warning
Follow this warning as well as the instruc­tion for seat belt in this book.
A WARNING
Seat belts are designed to bear upon the bony structure of the body, and should be worn low across the front of the pelvis or the pelvis, chest and shoulders, as applicable; wearing the lap section of the belt across the abdominal area must be avoided. • Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly as possible, consistent with comfort, to provide the protection for which they have been designed. A slack belt will greatly reduce the protection afforded to the wearer. • Care should be taken to avoid con­tamination of the webbing with pol­ishes, oils and chemicals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning may safely be carried out using mild soap and water. The belt should be replaced if webbing becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged. (Continued)
A WARNING
(Continued) • It is essential to replace the entire assembly after it has been worn in a severe impact even if damage to the assembly is not obvious. Belts should not be worn with straps twisted. Each belt assembly must only be used by one occupant; it is danger­ous to put a belt around a child being carried on the occupant's lap,
In the case where a "Seat Belt Assembly'' incorporates an "Automatic Length Adjust­ing and Locking Retractor' or an "Emer­gency Locking Retractor'.
A WARNING
No modifications or additions should be made by the user which will either prevent the seat belt adjusting devices from operating to remove slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly from being adjusted to remove slack. Referring to the SEAT BELT instruction in this book, adjust the seat belt so that the lap and sash portions of the Seat Belt Assembly fit as firmly as possible consistent with comfort.
