Service on or around air bag components
or wiring must be performed only by an
authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
Improper service could result in unintended
air bag deployment or could render the air
bag inoperative. Either of these two
conditions may result in severe injury.
To prevent damage or unintended inflation
of the air bag system, be sure the battery
is disconnected and the ignition switch has
been in the “LOCK” position for at least 90
seconds before performing any electrical
service work on your MARUTI SUZUKI. Do
not touch air bag system components or
wires. The wires are wrapped with yellow
tape or yellow tubing, and the couplers are
yellow for easy identification.
Scrapping a car that has an uninflated air
bag can be hazardous. Contact your
MARUTI SUZUKI authorized dealer, body
repair shop or scrap yard for help with dis-
posal.
According to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained on rear seats
than front passenger’s seat. Whenever
possible, MARUTI SUZUKI recommends
that child restraint systems be installed on
the rear seat.
