To raise the rear head restraint, pull upward
on the restraint until it clicks. To lower the
restraint, push down on the restraint while
holding in the lock lever. If a head restraint
is required to be removed (for cleaning,
replacement, etc.), push in the lock lever
and pull the head restraint all the way out.
When installing a child restraint system,
raise the head restraint to the most upper
position.
Folding Rear Seats (if equipped)The rear seat(s) of your vehicle can be
folded forward to provide additional cargo
space.
To fold the rear seats forward:
1) Hook the webbing and the latch plate of
the outboard lap-shoulder belts in the
belt hangers.
83K-02-035
CAUTION
When you move a seatback, make
sure both the latch plate and the
belt webbing are hooked in the seat
belt hangers so the seat belts are
not caught by the seatback, seat
hinge, or seat latch. This helps pre-
vent damage to the belt system.

w WARNING
An air bag supplements, or adds to,
the frontal crash protection offered by
seat belts. The driver and all pas-
sengers must be properly restrained
by wearing seat belts at all times,
whether or not an air bag is mounted
at their seating position, to minimize
the risk of severe injury or death in
the event of a crash.
83K-02-039
w ww w
w WARNING
Never allow persons to ride in the
cargo area of a vehicle. In the event
of an accident, there is a much
greater risk of injury for persons
who are not riding in a seat with
their seat belt securely fastened.
Seat belts should always be
adjusted as follows:
– the lap portion of the belt should
be worn low across the pelvis, not
across the waist.
– the shoulder straps should be
worn on the outside shoulder
only, and never under the arm.
– the shoulder straps should be
away from your face and neck,
but not falling off your shoulder.
83K-02-040
NOTICE
When returning the rear seatback to
the normal position, be sure to
handle it carefully by hand to avoid
any damage to the lock itself. Do
not push it by using some material
or by applying excessive force.
As the lock is designed exclusively
for securing the rear seatback, do
not use it for any other purpose.
Incorrect use of it may cause
damage to the inside of the lock
and prevent the seatback from being
locked securely.Seat Belts and Child Restraint

Seat belts should never be worn
with the straps twisted and should
be adjusted as tightly as is com-
fortable to provide the protection for
which they have been designed. A
slack belt will provide less pro-
tection than one which is snug.
Make sure that each seat belt buckle
is inserted into the proper buckle
catch. It is possible to cross the
buckles in the rear seat.
Pregnant women should use seat
belts, although specific recommen-
dations about driving should be
made by the woman’s medical advi-
sor. Remember that the lap portion

of the belt should be worn as low
as possible across the hips, as
shown in the diagram.
Do not wear your seat belt over
hard or breakable objects in your
pockets or on your clothing. If an
accident occurs, objects such as
glasses, pens, etc. under the seat
belt can cause injury.
Never use the same seat belt on
more than one occupant and never
attach a seat belt over an infant or
child being held on an occupant’s
lap. Such seat belt use could cause
serious injury in the event of an
accident.
Periodically inspect seat belt
assemblies for excessive wear and
damage. Seat belts should be
replaced if webbing becomes frayed,
contaminated, or damaged in any
way. It is essential to replace the
entire seat belt assembly after it has
been worn in a severe impact, even
if damage to the assembly is not
obvious.
Children age 12 and under should
ride properly restrained in the rear
seat.
Infants and small children shouldnever be transported unless they are
properly restrained. Restraint
systems for infants and small chil-
dren can be purchased locally and
should be used. Make sure that the
system you purchase meets appli-
cable safety standards. Read and
follow all the directions provided by
the manufacturer.
For children, if the shoulder belt
irritates the neck or face, move the
child closer to the center of the
vehicle.
Avoid contamination of seat belt
webbing by polishes, oils,
chemicals, and particularly battery
acid. Cleaning may safely be carried
out using mild soap and water.
Do not insert any items such as
coins, clips, etc. into the seat belt
buckles, and be careful not to spill
liquids into these parts. If foreign
materials get into a seat belt buckle,
the seat belt may not work properly.
All seatbacks should always be in
an upright position when driving, or
seat belt effectiveness may be
reduced. Seat belts are designed to
offer maximum protection when
seatbacks are in the upright
position.

CAUTION
Seat Belt InspectionPeriodically inspect the seat belts to make
sure they work properly and are not dam-
aged. Check the webbing, buckles, latch
plates, retractors, anchorages, and guide
loops. Replace any seat belts which do not
work properly or are damaged.

w WARNING
Be sure to inspect all seat belt
assemblies after any collision. Any
seat belt assembly which was in use
during a collision (other than a very
minor one) should be replaced, even
if damage to the assembly is not
obvious. Any seat belt assembly
which was not in use during a colli-
sion should be replaced if it does not
function properly, it is damaged in any
way (that is, if the front air bags were
activated).

vent damage to the belt system.
When you hook the belt webbing
and latch plate into the seat belt
hanger, make sure the latch plate is
on the obverse side of the belt web-
bing as shown in the illustration.
Make sure the belt webbing is not
twisted.

EXAMPLEMARUTI SUZUKI highly recommends that
you use a child restraint system to restrain
infants and small children. Many different
types of child restraint systems are available;
make sure that the restraint system you
select meets applicable safety standards.
All child restraint systems are designed to
be secured on vehicle seats by either seat
belts (lap belts or the lap portion of lap-
shoulder belts) or by special rigid lower
anchor bars built into the seat. Whenever
possible, MARUTI SUZUKI recommends
that child restraint systems be installed on
the rear seat. According to accident statis-
tics, children are safer when properly
restrained on rear seats than front passen-
ger’s seat.
NOTE:
Observe any statutory regulation about child
restraints.

If your vehicle is equipped with a front
passenger front air bag, do not install
a rear-facing child restraint in the
front passenger’s seat. If the pas-
senger’s air bag inflates, a child in a
rear- facing child restraint could be
killed or seriously injured. The back of
a rear-facing child restraint would be
too close to the inflating air bag.

How the system works
In a frontal collision, the crash sensors will
detect rapid deceleration and send a signal
to the controller. if the controller judges that
the deceleration represents a severe frontal
crash, the controller will trigger the inflators.
The inflators inflate the appropriate air bags
with nitrogen or argon gas. The inflated air
bags provide a cushion for your head and
upper body. The air bag inflates and
deflates so quickly that you may not even
realize that it has activated. The air bag will
neither hinder your view nor make it harder
to exit the vehicle.
Air bags must inflate quickly and forcefully
in order to reduce the chance of serious or
fatal injuries. However, an unavoidable
consequence of the quick inflation is that
the air bag may irritate bare skin, such as
the facial area against a front air bag. Also,
upon inflation, a loud noise will occur and
some powder and smoke will be released.
These conditions are not harmful and do not
indicate a fire in the car. Be aware,
however, that some air bag components
may be hot for a while after inflation.
A seat belt helps keep you in the proper
position for maximum protection when an air
bag inflates. Adjust your seat as far back
as possible while still maintaining control of

An air bag supplements, or adds to, the

The driver and all passengers must be
properly restrained by wearing seat
belts at all times, whether or not an air
bag is mounted at their seating
position, to minimize the risk of severe
injury or death in the event of a crash.
