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.
83K-04-055
w ww w
w WARNING
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.
w ww w
w WARNING
If you install a child restraint system
on the rear seat, slide the front seat

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.
