PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTION FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED
WITH A SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT (AIR
BAG) SYSTEM
WARNING:
The configuration of air bag system parts are as shown in
the figure. When it is necessary to service (remove, rein-
stall and inspect) these parts, be sure to follow proce-
dures described in Section 9J. Failure to follow proper
procedures could result in possible air bag deployment,
personal injury, damage to parts or air bag being unable
to deploy when necessary.
If the air bag system and another vehicle system both
need repair, Suzuki recommends that the air bag system
be repaired first, to help avoid unintended air bag deploy-
ment.
Do not modify the steering wheel, dashboard, or any other
air bag system component. Modifications can adversely
affect air bag system performance and lead to injury.
If the vehicle will be exposed to temperatures over 93C,
200F (for example, during a paint baking process), re-
move the air bag system components (air bag (inflator)
modules, sensing and diagnostic module) beforehand to
avoid component damage or unintended deployment.
DIAGNOSIS
When troubleshooting air bag system, be sure to follow
“DIAGNOSIS” in Section 9J. Bypassing these procedures
may result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis,
and incorrect parts replacement.
Never use electrical test equipment other than that specified
in this manual.
WARNING:
Never attempt to measure the resistance of the air bag (in-
flator) modules (driver and passenger). It is very dangerous
as the electric current from the tester may deploy the air
bag.
