Front seats
A WARNING
Failure to take the following precau­tions may result in the driver's side floor mat interfering with the pedals and causing a loss of vehicle control or an accident. Check that the floor mat grommets are hooked to the fasteners. Never place additional floor mats on top of the existing floor mat.
Seat adjustment
A WARNING
Never attempt to adjust the driver's seat or seatback while driving. The seat or seatback could move unex­pectedly, causing loss of control. Check that the driver's seat and seat­back are properly adjusted before you start driving.
A WARNING
To avoid excessive seat belt slack, which reduces the effectiveness of the seat belts as a safety device, check that the seats are adjusted before the seat belts are fastened.
A WARNING
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 position.
A WARNING
Do not place any object under the front seat. If an object becomes caught under the front seat, the fol­lowing may occur. • The seat will not be latched.
A WARNING
Do not leave cigarette lighters or spray cans on the floor. If a cigarette lighter or spray can is on the floor, it may light accidentally when luggage is loaded or the seat is adjusted, causing a fire.

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.

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.

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 child restraint system, adjust the height of the head restraint or remove it for fitting the child restraint, as necessary.
Folding rear seats
A CAUTION
Remove objects from the rear seats before folding the rear seats. There may be a case that the rear seat belt reminder (if equipped) will not be activated, if objects are remained on the rear seats.
The rear seats of your vehicle can be folded forward to provide additional cargo space.
To fold the rear seats forward:
1) Lower the head restraint (if equipped) fully.
2) Hook the webbing of the outboard lap­shoulder belts in the belt hangers.
FOR SAFE DRIVING
NOTICE
Make sure the belt webbing is not twisted. • When you move a seatback, make sure the belt webbing is hooked in the seat belt hangers so the seat belts are not caught by the seat­back, seat hinge, or seat latch. This helps prevent damage to the belt system.
78RB02012
3) For the split seat, pull the release strap on the top of each split seat, and fold the seatbacks forward. For the bench seat, pull the both release straps on the fop of the bench seat together, and fold the seatback for­ward.

Child restraint systems
60G332S
The following types of child restraint sys­tem are available generally.
Infant restraint
Child restraint
Booster seat
80JC008
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
FOR SAFE DRIVING
that the restraint system 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 lap­shoulder belts) or by special rigid lower anchor bars built onto the floor. Whenever possible, SUZUKI recommends that child restraint systems be installed on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, chil­dren are safer when properly restrained in rear seating positions than in front seating positions.
(For countries applied for UN Regula­tion 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.

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.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Parking brake lever
(1) To set (2) To release (3) To release
The parking brake lever is located between the front seats. To set the parking brake, depress the brake pedal and pull the park­ing brake lever all the way up. To release the parking brake, depress the brake pedal and pull up slightly on the parking brake lever, push the button on the end of the lever with your thumb, and lower the lever to its original position.
3-5
For automatic transmission vehicles, always set the parking brake before mov­ing the gearshift lever to "P" (PARK) posi­tion. If you park on an incline and shift into "P" before setting the parking brake, the weight of the vehicle may make it difficult to shift out of "P" when you are ready to drive the vehicle.
When preparing to drive the vehicle, move the gearshift lever out of "P" position before releasing the parking brake.
A WARNING
• Whenever parking, make sure the gearshift lever for manual trans­mission vehicles is in 1st gear or "R" (Reverse) and the gearshift lever for automatic transmission or automatic transmission vehicles is in 11P" {Park). Remember, even though the transmission is in gear or in Park, you must set the parking brake fully. • When parking on an uphill, turn the steering wheel so that the front wheels point to the center of the
road. • When parking on a downhill, turn the steering wheel so that the front wheels point to the curb. • Never drive your vehicle with the parking brake on: rear brake effec­tiveness can be reduced from overM heating, brake life may be shortened, or permanent brake damage may result. • If the parking brake does not hold the vehicle securely or does not fully release, have your vehicle inspected immediately by a SUZUKI dealer.
