strongest bones take the forces. That’s
why safety belts make such good sense.Questions and Answers About
Safety BeltsQuestion: Won’t I be trapped in the
vehicle after an accident if I’m wearing a
safety belt?
Answer: You could be – whether you’re
wearing a safety belt or not. But you can
unbuckle a safety belt, even if you’re
upside down. And your chance of being
conscious during and after an accident, so
you can unbuckle and get out, is much
greater if you are belted.
Question: If my vehicle has air bags,
why should I have to wear safety belts?
Answer: Air bags are in many vehicles
today and will be in most of them in the
future. But they are supplemental systems
only; so they work with safety belts – not
instead of them. Every air bag system ever
offered for sale has required the use of
safety belts. Even if you’re in a vehicle that
has air bags, you still have to buckle up to
get the most protection. That’s true not
only in frontal collisions, but especially in
side and other collisions.Question: If I’m a good driver, and I
never drive far from home, why should I
wear safety belts?
Answer: You may be an excellent driver,
but if you’re in an accident – even one that
isn’t your fault – you and your passengers
can be hurt. Being a good driver doesn’t
protect you from things beyond your con-
trol, such as bad drivers.
Most accidents occur within 25 miles (40
km) of home. And the greatest number of
serious injuries and deaths occur at
speeds of less than 40 mph (65 km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.
How to Wear Safety Belts ProperlyThis section is only for people of adult size.
Be aware that there are special things to
know about safety belts and children. And
there are different rules for smaller children
and babies. If a child will be riding in your
vehicle, see “Older Children” or “Infants
and Young Children” in this section. Follow
those rules for everyone’s protection.
First, you’ll want to know which restraint
systems your vehicle has.
We’ll start with the driver position.Driver PositionThis section describes the driver’s restraint
system.Lap-Shoulder Belt
The driver has a lap-shoulder belt. Here’s
how to wear it properly.
1) Close and lock the door.
2) Adjust the seat so you can sit up
straight. To see how, see “Seats” in the
Index.
3) Pick up the latch plate and pull the belt
across you. Don’t let it get twisted.
The shoulder belt may lock if you pull
the belt across you very quickly. If this
happens, let the belt go back slightly to
unlock it. Then pull the belt across you
more slowly.
4) Push the latch plate into the buckle until
it clicks.
Pull up on the latch plate to make sure
it is secure.
Make sure the release button on the
buckle is positioned so you would be

Keys
One key is used for the ignition, the door
and all other locks.
When a new vehicle is delivered, you are
provided with two keys. Keep one of the
two keys as a spare. The key number is
stamped on the key tag (A). The tag has a
code on it that tells your SUZUKI dealer or
a qualified locksmith how to make extra
keys. If you lose your key, you’ll be able to
have a new one made easily using the tag.
For vehicle security, keep the tag in a safe
place and also record the key number
somewhere other than inside of the vehi-
cle.
If you need a new key, contact your
SUZUKI dealer who can obtain the correct
key code.

unlocking your vehicle. If a transmitter is
lost or stolen, a replacement can be pur-
chased through your SUZUKI dealer.
Remember to bring any remaining trans-
mitters with you when you go to your
SUZUKI dealer. When the dealer matches
the replacement transmitter to your vehi-
cle, any remaining transmitters must also
be matched. Once your SUZUKI dealer
has coded the new transmitter, the lost

WARNING
Unlocked doors can be dangerous.
 Passengers – especially children –
can easily open the doors and fall
out of a moving vehicle. When a
door is locked, the handle won’t
open it. You increase the chance of
being thrown out of the vehicle in a
crash if the doors aren’t locked. So,
wear safety belts properly and lock
the doors whenever you drive.
 Young children who get into
unlocked vehicles may be unable to
get out. A child can be overcome by
extreme heat and can suffer perma-
nent injuries or even death from
heat stroke. Always lock your vehi-
cle whenever you leave it.
 Outsiders can easily enter through
an unlocked door when you slow
down or stop your vehicle. Locking
your doors can help prevent this
from happening.
