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
Electric window controls
(if equipped)
The electric windows can only be operated when the ignition switch is in "ON" position.
(1)
The center console has a switch (1) to operate the driver's window, and a switch (2) to operate the front passenger's win­dow.
2-11
OPEN CLOSE
78RB02007
To open a window, push the switch. To close the window, lift up the switch.
The driver's window has AUTO-DOWN and AUTO-UP (if equipped) features for greater convenience (at toll booths or drive-through restaurants, for example). These features allow the driver to open or close the window without holding the win­dow switch in DOWN or UP position. Press down or lift up the driver's window switch completely and release it. To stop the win­dow before it reaches the FULL-DOWN or FULL-UP position, pull up or push down the switch briefly.
A WARNING
• You should always prevent chil­dren from operating the electric window switches when there are children in the vehicle. Children can be seriously injured if they get part of their body caught by the window during operation. To avoid injuring an occupant by window entrapment, check that no part of the occupant's body such as hands or head is in the path of the electric windows when closing them. Always remove the ignition key when leaving the vehicle even only for a short time. Also do not leave children alone in a parked vehicle. Unattended children could use the electric window switches and get trapped by the window.

Pinching prevention function
(if equipped)
The driver's window is equipped with a pinching prevention function. This function detects a foreign object that is caught in the window as it is being closed by AUTO­UP feature, which allows you to close the window without holding the window switch in UP position, and stops the window from closing to prevent damage.
A. WARNING
To avoid injuring an occupant by win­dow entrapment, check that no part of the occupant's body such as hands or head is in the path of the electric window when closing it. This function may not detect an object due to the size, hardness, or position of the object being caught in the closing window.
A.CAUTION
The pinching prevention function does not operate while you are holding the window switch in UP position. The pinching prevention function may not detect an object caught in the window just before the window is fully closed.
NOTE: Even if you cannot close the window by the AUTO-UP feature because there may be something wrong with the pinching preven­tion function, you can close the window by holding the window switch in UP position. If you drive in extreme off-road condition, the pinching prevention function may oper­ate accidentally because the window reacts to vehicle jolting.
Pinching prevention function initializa­tion When you disconnect and reconnect the lead-acid battery or replace the fuse, the function will be deactivated. In this condi­tion, the AUTO-DOWN feature will be deactivated, while the AUTO-UP feature may remain activated. The pinching pre­vention function needs to be initialized.
BEFORE DRIVING
To initialize the pinching prevention func­tion, use the following procedure: 1) Turn the ignition switch to "ON" posi­
tion. 2) Open the driver's window fully by hold­ing the window switch in DOWN posi­tion. 3) Close the driver's window by holding the switch in UP position, and keep holding the switch for 2 seconds after the window is fully closed. 4) Check the driver's window to see if the AUTO-DOWN/UP feature works.
A. WARNING
Whenever you disconnect and recon­nect the lead-acid battery or replace the fuse, the pinching prevention function needs to be initialized. The pinching prevention function will not be activated until the initialization is completed.
If the AUTO-DOWN/UP feature will not work after initialization, there might be something wrong with the pinching preven­tion function. Have your vehicle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.

Tow bars
Only use a tow bar that is designed to attach to the chassis of your vehicle, and a hitch that is designed to bolt to this tow bar. We recommend that you use a genuine SUZUKI tow bar kit (available as an option), or equivalent.
A WARNING
Never use a tow bar which attaches to the axle or the bumper of your vehicle.
Safety chains
Always attach safety chains between your vehicle and the trailer. Cross safety chains under the nose of the trailer so that the nose will not drop to the road if the trailer becomes separated from the tow bar. Fol­low the manufacturer's recommendation for attaching safety chains. Always leave just enough slack to permit full turning. Never allow safety chains to drag on the road.
A WARNING
Never attach safety chains to the bumper of your vehicle. Secure con­nections so that they cannot come loose.
-----------------------
Trailer lights
Check that your trailer is equipped with lights which meet local requirements. Always check for the proper operation of all trailer lights before you start to tow.
A WARNING
Never connect trailer lights directly into your vehicle's electrical system, or electrical system damage may occur.
Brakes
A WARNING
If the trailer is equipped with the brakes, follow all instructions pro­vided by the manufacturer. Never connect to the brake system of your vehicle and never take an electrical supply directly from the wiring har­
ness.
BEFORE DRIVING
Tyres
A WARNING
When towing a trailer, it is very important for your vehicle and trailer to have properly inflated tyres. Your vehicle's tyres should be inflated to the pressures listed on your vehicle's tyre information label. The tyres should be inflated to the laden pres­sures. Inflate trailer tyres according to the specifications provided by the trailer manufacturer.
Mirrors
Check if your vehicle's mirrors meet local requirements for mirrors used on towing vehicles. If they do not, you must install the required mirrors before you tow.
