GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Seat belt with ELR
The seat belt with Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) is designed so that it locks immediately (to prevent the web-
bing from being pulled out of the retractor any further) when any of the following items is detected as exceeding
each set value; speed at which the webbing is pulled out of the retractor, acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle
speed, and inclination.
Seat belt with A-ELR
The automatic and emergency locking retractor (A-ELR) works as an Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) till its
webbing is pulled all the way out and then on as an Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) till it is retracted fully.
ALR: Automatically locks when the webbing is pulled out from the retractor and allowed to retract even a little.
Then the webbing can not be pulled out any further, unless it is wound all the way back into the retractor, which
releases the lock and allows the webbing to be pulled out.
Driver and front passenger side air bags
The driver and front passenger side air bags are components of the air bag system. In occurrence of a front collision
with an impact larger than a certain set value, they are activated by the ignition signal from SDM to supplement
protection offered by the driver and front passenger seat belts.

the driver air bag (inflator) module is deployed from the center of the steering column

the passenger air bag (inflator) module from the top of the instrument panel in front of the front passenger seat
For more information, refer to SECTION 10B ªAir Bag Systemº.

CAUTION:
When fasteners are removed, always reinstall them at the same location from which they were re-
moved. If a fastener needs to be replaced, use the correct part number fastener for that application. If
the correct part number fastener is not available, a fastener of equal size and strength (or stronger) may
be used. Fasteners that are not reused, and those requiring thread-locking compound, will be called
out. The correct torque value must be used when installing fasteners that require it. If the above proce-
dures are not followed, parts or system damage could result.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
If replacing seat belt is necessary, replace buckle and ELR (or webbing) together as a set. This is for
the reason of ensuring locking of tongue plate with buckle. If these parts are replaced individually, such
a locking condition may become unreliable. For this reason, SUZUKI will supply only the spare buckle
and ELR (or webbing) in a set part.
Before servicing or replacing seat belts, refer to following precautionary items.

Seat belts should be normal relative to strap retractor and buckle portions.

Keep sharp edges and damaging objects away from belts. Avoid bending or damaging any portion of belt buckle,
latch plate and ELR.

Do not bleach or dye belt webbing. (Use only mild soap and lukewarm water to clean it.)

When installing a seat belt anchor bolt, start bolt by hand to prevent cross-threading.

Use only the correct seat belt anchor bolts and screws and tighten to the correct torque value.

Do not attempt any repairs on retractor mechanisms or retractor covers. Replace defective assemblies with new
replacement parts.

Keep belts dry and clean at all times.

If there exist any parts in question, replace such parts.

Replace belts whose webbing is cut or otherwise damaged.

Do not put anything into trim panel opening which seat belt webbing passes through.

INSPECTION
Seat belts and attaching parts can affect the vital components and
systems of a vehicle. Therefore, they should be inspected carefully
and replaced with genuine parts only.
Seat belt

The seat belt webbing or strap should be free from damage.

Fully extend the seat belt to make sure there are no twists or tears
in it.
Retractor assembly
Let the seat belt retract fully to confirm its easy retraction.

The retractor assembly should lock webbing when pulled quickly.

The retractor assembly should lock webbing even when tilted
(approx. 15) toward the fore and aft or right and left directions.
Anchor bolt

Inspect all seat belt anchor bolts to verify that they are secure.

All anchor bolts should be secure and torqued to specification.
Belt latch

Belt latch should be secure when latched.

Inspect the seat belt buckle, ensuring that it locks and unlocks
easily.

After buckling the seat belt, tug sharply on the belt, checking that
the buckle remains locked.
Warning system
Check driver side seat belt strap switch for continuity by using ohm-
meter.
Without inserted buckle tongue to buckle catch:
Terminal ªAº and ªBº: Continuity
With inserted buckle tongue to buckle catch:
Terminal ªAº and ªBº: No continuity (

)
As to seat belts with ALR (other than driver side seat belt), check
them as follows in addition to above check.

With vehicle at stop, pull seat belt all the way out, let it retract a
little and try to pull it. It should not be pulled out, that is, it should
be locked where retracted.

Let seat belt retract to its original state. Next, pull it half way out,
let it retract a little and try to pull it again. It should be pulled out
smoothly, that is it should not be locked at this time.
