WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag) System:
Service on and around the air bag system components or wiring must be performed only by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to “Air Bag System Components and Wiring Location View” under
“General Description” in air bag system section in order to confirm whether you are performing ser-
vice on or near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARNINGS and “Ser-
vice Precautions” under “On-Vehicle Service” in air bag system section before performing service
on or around the air bag system components or wiring. Failure to follow WARNINGS could result in
unintentional activation of the system or could render the system inoperative. Either of these two
conditions may result in severe injury.
Technical service work must be started at least 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the
“LOCK” position and the negative cable is disconnected from the battery. Otherwise, the system
may be activated by reserve energy in the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
When body servicing, if shock may be applied to air bag system component parts, remove those
parts beforehand. (Refer to Section 10B.)
NOTE:
For the descriptions (items) not found in this section, refer to the same section of the Service Man-
ual mentioned in the FOREWORD of this manual.
Fasteners are important attaching parts in that they could affect the performance of vital compo-
nents and systems, and/or could result in major repair expense. They must be replaced with one of
the same part number of with an equivalent part if replacement becomes necessary.
Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute a design. Torque values must be used
as specified during reassembly to assure proper retention of these parts.

ment harness. Recommended application: 12 Volts mini-
mum, 2 amps minimum. A vehicle battery is suggested.

openings with a drop cloth, blanket to similar item (2). This

NOTE:
When the air bag deploys and the pretensioner acti-
vates, the rapid gas expansion will create a substantial
report. Wear suitable ear protection. Notify all people
in the immediate area that you intend to deploy the air
bag (inflator) module or to activate the seat belt preten-
sioner and suitable ear protection should be worn.
After the air bag (inflator) module has been deployed,
the surface of the air bag may contain a powdery resi-
due. This powder consists primarily of cornstarch
(used to lubricate the bag as it inflates) and by-prod-
ucts of the chemical reaction.
WARNING:
After deployment/activation, the metal surfaces of the
air bag (inflator) module and the seat belt pretensioner
will be very hot. Do not touch the metal areas of them
for about 30 minutes after deployment/activation.
Do not apply water, oil, etc. to deployed air bag (infla-
tor) module and activated seat belt pretensioner. Fail-
ure to follow procedures may result in fire or personal
injury.
