Side airbags and side curtain air­
bags
68KM090
Side airbags and side curtain airbags are designed to inflate in severe side impact collisions when the ignition switch is in "ON" position.
Side airbags and side curtain airbags are not designed to inflate in frontal or rear col­lisions, rollovers or minor side collisions, since they would offer no protection in those types of accidents. Only the side air­bag and side curtain airbag on the side of the vehicle that is struck will inflate. How­ever, in a frontal angle collision, the side airbags and side curtain airbags may inflate. Since an airbag deploys only one time during an accident, seat belts are needed to restrain occupants from further movements during the accident.
Therefore, an airbag is not a substitute for 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.
Side airbags
78RB02025
Side airbags are located in the part of the front seatbacks closest to the doors. The "SRS AIRBAG" labels are attached to the seatbacks to identify the location of the side airbags.

Side curtain airbags
SRS AIRBAG
78RB02026
Side curtain airbags are located in the roof lining. The words "SRS AIRBAG" are melded into the pillar to identify the loca­tion of the side curtain 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.

Side airbags and side curtain airbags do not inflate How the system works
80J120
• Impact from the rear
80J110
• Vehicle rollover
In a frontal collision, the crash sensors will detect rapid deceleration, and if the con­troller judges that the deceleration rep­resents a severe frontal collision, the controller will trigger the infiators. If your vehicle is equipped with side airbags and side curtain airbags, crash sensors will detect a side collision, and if the controller judges that the side collision is severe enough, it will trigger the side airbag and side curtain airbag infiators. The infiators inflate the appropriate airbags with nitro­gen or argon gas. The infiated airbags pro­vide a cushion for your head (front airbags and side curtain airbags only) and upper body. The airbag inflates and defiates so quickly that you may not even realize that it has activated. The airbag will neither hin­der your view nor make it harder to exit the vehicle.
Airbags must infiate quickly and forcefully in order to reduce the chance of serious or fatal injuries. However, an unavoidable consequence of the quick infiation is that the airbag may irritate bare skin, such as the facial area against a front airbag. Wash off any residue as soon as possible to pre­vent skin irritation. Also, upon inflation, a loud noise will occur and some powder and smoke will be released. These condi­tions are not harmful and do not indicate a fire in the vehicle. Be aware, however, that some airbag components may be hot for a while after infiation.

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.

Front passenger airbag deactiva­
tion system (if equipped)
(2)
78RB02027
The front passenger's front airbag system must be deactivated if a child restraint sys­tem is to be installed on the front passen­ger's seat. When the ignition switch is turned to "ON" position, "PASSENGER AIRBAG ON" indi­cator (1) or "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" indicator (2) shows whether the front pas­senger's airbag system is activated or deactivated.
1-47
When the front passenger's airbag system is activated, both "PASSENGER AIRBAG ON" indicator (1) and "PASSENGER AIR­BAG OFF" indicator (2) come on for a few seconds and then go out. After that, only "PASSENGER AIRBAG ON" indicator (1) comes on for about 1 minute and then goes out.
When the front passenger's airbag system is deactivated, both "PASSENGER AIR­BAG ON" indicator (1) and "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" indicator (2) come on for a few seconds and then go out. After that, only "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" indicator (2) comes on.
When you activate or deactivate the front passenger's airbag system, check which indicator is on before starting the engine.
Side airbags, side curtain airbags and seat belt pretensioners are not connected to the airbag deactivation system. Even if the front passenger's airbag system is deacti­vated, side airbags, side curtain airbags and seat belt pretensioners are still acti­vated.
58MS030
.A WARNING
When using child restraint system on the front passenger's seat, the front passenger's airbag system must be deactivated; otherwise deployment of the front passenger's airbag could result in the death or serious injury of the child.
.A WARNING
Check that the front passenger's air­bag system is activated and "PAS­SENGER AIRBAG ON" indicator (1) is on whenever there is no child restraint installed on the front pas­senger's seat.

According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in rear seating positions than front seating posi­tions. Whenever possible, SUZUKI recom­mends that child restraint systems be installed on the rear seat.
Airbag deactivation switch
78RB02028
The airbag deactivation switch (3) is installed only for use when a rear-facing child restraint system or infant restraint system is installed in the front passenger's seat. The switch is located on the lateral face of the passenger's side of the instru­ment panel.
To deactivate the front passenger's airbag system, follow the instructions below before starting the engine. 1) Check that the ignition switch is in "LOCK" position. 2) Insert the key into the airbag deactiva­tion switch (3), then push and turn the key to "OFF" (airbag off) position, and pull out the key. 3) Turn the ignition switch to "ON" posi­tion. Both indicators come on for a few seconds and then go out. After that, only "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" indicator (2) comes on to remind you that the front passenger's airbag system is deactivated.

Exhaust gas warning
52D334
A WARNING
Avoid breathing exhaust gases. Exhaust gases contain carbon mon­oxide, a potentially lethal gas that is colorless and odorless. Since carbon monoxide is difficult to detect by itself, take the following precautions to help prevent carbon monoxide from entering your vehicle. • Do not leave the engine running in garages or other confined areas. (Continued)
1-49
A WARNING
(Continued) • Do not park with the engine run­ning for a long period of time, even i~ an open area. If it is necessary to s,t for a short time in a parked vehi­cle with the engine running, check that the air intake selector is set to "FRESH AIR" and the blower is at high speed. • Avoid operating the vehicle with the tailgate or trunk open. If it is necessary to do so, check that the sunroof (if equipped) and all win­dows are closed, and the blower is at high speed with the air intake selector set to "FRESH AIR". To allow proper operation of your vehicle's ventilation system, keep the air inlet grill in front of the wind­shield clear of snow, leaves or other obstructions at all times. • Keep the exhaust tailpipe area clear of snow and other material to help reduce the buildup of exhaust gases under the vehicle. This is particularly important when parked in blizzard conditions. Have the exhaust system inspected periodically for damage and leak­age. Any damage or leakage should be repaired immediately.
