NOTE:
The keyless start system may not function
correctly in certain environments or under
certain operating conditions such as the
following:
 When there are strong signals coming
from a television, power station or a cel-
lular phone.
 When the remote controller is in contact
with or covered by a metal object.
 When a radio wave type remote keyless
entry is used nearby.
 When the remote controller is placed
near an electronic device such as per-
sonal computer.
Some additional precautions you should
take and information you should be aware
of are:
 Make sure the key is stowed in the
remote controller. If the remote controller
becomes unreliable, you will not be able
to lock or unlock the doors, or start the
engine.
 Be sure that the driver always carries the
remote controller.
 If you lose one of the remote controllers,
ask an authorized SUZUKI dealer as
soon as possible for a replacement. Be
sure to have your dealer program the
new remote controller code in your vehi-
cle’s memory so that the old code is
erased, or perform the programming pro-
cedure yourself according to the instruc-
tions in this section. You can use up to four remote controllers
and keys for your vehicle. Ask an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer for details.
 The battery life of the remote controller
is about two years, but it can vary
depending on usage conditions.
Remote Controller Reminder Function
(for Trunk)
This function prevents the remote control-
ler from being left under a locked trunk lid.
 If you attempt to lock the trunk lid with
the remote controller left inside the trunk
and the vehicle in the following condition,
the function automatically unlocks and
slightly opens the lid:
– Vehicle is parked with all doors closed
and locked.Trunk Inside Area Where Remote Con-

changed to “LOCK” (OFF) by pressing the
engine switch.
Front passenger’s seat belt reminder (if
equipped)
The front passenger’s seat belt reminder
will activate only when there is a passen-
ger sitting in the front seat. In some situa-
tions, however, such as when you place
heavy objects in the front seat, the seat
belt reminder can be activated as if there
were a passenger present. The front pas-
senger’s seat belt reminder works in the
same manner as the driver’s seat belt
reminder, except that it is not activated
until 10 seconds after the ignition mode is
changed to “ON” by pressing the engine
switch.
Shoulder Anchor Height Adjuster
57L21045
Adjust the shoulder anchor height so that
the shoulder belt rides on the center of the
outside shoulder. To upward, slide the
anchor up. To downward, slide the anchor
down while down the lock lever. After
adjustment, make sure that the anchor is
securely locked.
Seat Belt Inspection
65D209S
Periodically inspect the seat belts to make
sure they work properly and are not dam-
aged. Check the webbing, buckles, latch
plates, retractors, anchorages and guide
loops. Replace any seat belts which do not
work properly or are damaged.
WARNING
Be sure that the shoulder belt is posi-
tioned on the center of the outside
shoulder. The belt should be away
from your face and neck, but not fall-
ing off your shoulder. Misadjustment
of the belt could reduce the effective-
ness of the safety belt in a crash.

4) When routing the top strap, be sure to
pass the top strap as shown in the illus-
tration. (Refer to “Adjustable Head
Restraints” section for details on how to
raise or lower the head restraint.)
5) Make sure that cargo does not interfere
with routing of the top strap.
Seat Belt Extender
65D613
(1) Center of body
(2) Less than 152 mm (6 inches)
(3) Open end of extender buckle
If a seat belt cannot be fastened securely
because it is not long enough, see an
authorized SUZUKI dealer for a seat belt
extender. Seat belt extenders are available
for each seating position except for the
rear center position. After inspecting the
relationship between the seat belt length,
the occupant’s body size, and the seat
adjustment (the driver’s seat should always
be adjusted as far back as possible while
still maintaining control of the vehicle, and
other adjustable seats should be adjusted
as far back as possible), your dealer can
select the appropriate seat belt extender.
WARNING
Do not attach the child restraint top
strap to the luggage restraint loops
(if equipped). Incorrectly attached top
strap will reduce the intended effec-
tiveness of the child restraint system.Ty p e 2 Ty p e 1

2-55BEFORE DRIVING
57L20-03E
The front seat belt retractors and lap belt
anchorages are each provided with a pre-
tensioner. The pretensioner tightens the
seat belt so the belt fits the occupant’s
body more snugly in the event of a frontal
or side crash. The retractors will remain
locked after the pretensioners are acti-
vated. 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 wearing seat belts
at all times, whether or not a pretensioner
is equipped at their seating position, to
help minimize the risk of severe injury or
death in the event of a crash.
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 the “Seat Adjustment” sec-
tion 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 air bags will activate only in severe
frontal or side collisions. They are not
designed to activate in rear impacts, roll-
overs or minor frontal collisions. The pre-
tensioners can be activated only once. If
the pretensioners are activated (that is, if
the air bags are activated), have the pre-tensioner system serviced by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
If the AIR BAG light on the instrument clus-
ter does not blink or come on briefly when
the ignition mode is changed to “ON” by
pressing the engine switch, stays on for
more than 10 seconds, or comes on while
driving, the pretensioner system or the air
bag system may not work properly. Have
both systems inspected by an authorized
SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
Service on or around the pretensioner sys-
tem components or wiring must be per-
formed only by an authorized SUZUKI
dealer who is specially trained. Improper
service could result in unintended activa-
tion of pretensioners or could render the
pretensioner inoperative. Either of these
two conditions may result in personal
injury.
To prevent damage or unintended activa-
tion of the pretensioners, be sure the bat-
tery is disconnected and the engine switch
has been in the “LOCK” (OFF) mode for at
least 90 seconds before performing any
electrical service work on your SUZUKI.
Do not touch pretensioner system compo-
nents or wiring. The wires are wrapped
with yellow tape or yellow tubing, and the
couplers are yellow. When scrapping your
SUZUKI, ask an authorized SUZUKI
dealer, body repair shop or scrap yard for
assistance.
Supplemental Restraint
System (air bags)
54G022
Your vehicle has advanced front air bags
and front side air bags for the driver and
right front passenger. Your vehicle also has
side curtain air bags and rear side air
bags.
WARNING
This section of the owner’s manual
describes the protection provided by
your SUZUKI’s SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (air bags).
Please read and follow ALL these
instructions carefully to minimize
your risk of severe injury or death in
the event of a collision.EXAMPLE

2-65BEFORE DRIVING
57L20-03E
Air bags must inflate quickly and forcefully
in order to reduce the chance of serious or
fatal injuries. However, an unavoidable
consequence of the quick inflation is that
the air bag may irritate bare skin, such as
the facial area against a front air bag. 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 car. Be aware,
however, that some air bag components
may be hot for a while after inflation.
A seat belt helps keep you in the proper
position for maximum protection when an
air bag inflates. 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 occu-
pants should not lean on or sleep against
the door. Please refer to the “Seat Adjust-
ment” section and the “Seat Belts and
Child Restraint Systems” section in the
“BEFORE DRIVING” section for details on
proper seat and seat belt adjustments.
65D610
54G582
WARNING
 The driver should not lean over the
steering wheel. The front passen-
ger should not rest his or her body
against the dashboard, or other-
wise get too close to the dash-
board. For vehicles with side air
bags, rear side air bags and side
curtain air bags, 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 air bag, 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 air bag
and the driver or front passenger.
These objects may interfere with air
bag operation or may be propelled
by the air bag in the event of a
crash. Either of these conditions
may cause severe injury.
 For vehicles with front side air
bags, do not place seat covers on
the front seats, because seat cov-
ers could restrict the air bag’s infla-
tion. Also, do not place any cup
holders or other objects on the
door, as these objects could be
propelled by the air bag in the event
of a crash. Either of these condi-
tions may cause severe injury.
