Precautions on Service and Diagnosis of Seat BeltS6RW0D8100001
WARNING!
If replacing seat belt is necessary, replace buckle and seat belt 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 seat
belt assembly in a set part.

Before servicing or replacing seat belts, refer to the 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 or latch plate.
• Do not bleach or dye belt webbing. (Use only mild soap and lukewarm water to clean it.)
• When installing a seat belt anchor bolt, it should be tightened by hand at first to prevent cross-threading and then to
specified torque.
• 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.

Seat Belt with ELR
The seat belt with emergency locking retractor (ELR) is
designed so that it locks immediately (to prevent the
webbing 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.
• 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.
Seat Belt with ELR and Pretensioner
The seat belt with ELR and a pretensioner has a
pretensioner mechanism which operates in linkage with
the air bag in addition to the described ELR.The pretensioner is incorporated in retractor and
controlled by SDM as one of air bag system
components. It will be activated at the same time as the
driver and passenger air bag module when an impact at
the front of vehicle exceeds the specified value.
When servicing seat belt (retractor) with pretensioner, be
sure to observe all WARNINGS and CAUTIONS and
“Precautions on Service and Diagnosis of Air Bag
System in Section 8B”.
CAUTION!
Do not reuse the seat belt pretensioner
(retractor) that has activated. Replace it with
a new seat belt and buckle together as a set.
For checking procedure of its activation,
refer to “Repair and Inspection Required after
Accident in Section 8B”.

Seat Belt Remainder
When driver’s seat belt is unfastened (under the
following conditions), seat belt reminder light inform that
driver’s seat belt is unfastened. Seat belt reminder light
located in combination meter located inside BCM
operate as follows:
• Seat belt reminder light comes on when driver’s seat
belt is unfastened while ignition key switch is at ON
position.

Front Seat Belt InspectionS6RW0D8106003
WARNING!
• Never attempt to disassemble or repair the
seat belt pretensioner (retractor). If any
abnormality is found, be sure to replace it
with new one as an assembly.
• Be sure to read “Precautions on Service
and Diagnosis of Seat Belt”, before
starting to work and observe every
precaution during work. Neglecting them
may result in personal injury or
unactivation of the seat belt pretensioner
when necessary.
• Never measure resistance of pretensioner
or disassemble it. Otherwise, personal
injury may result.

CAUTION!
If seat belt pretensioner (retractor) was
dropped from a height of 30 cm (1 ft) or more,
it should be replaced.

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.
Retractor (with Seat Belt Pretensioner)
1) Let the seat belt retract fully to confirm its easy
retraction.
• The retractor should lock webbing when pulled
quickly.
• The front seat belt retractor (1) should pass the
inspection and should lock webbing even when
tilted (approx. 15°) toward the fore and aft or right
and left directions.2) Check retractor (1) with seat belt pretensioner
appearance visually for following symptoms and if
any one of them is applicable, replace it with a new
one as an assembly.
• Pretensioner has activated.
• There is a crack in seat belt pretensioner
(retractor).
• Seat belt pretensioner (retractor) is damaged or a
strong impact (e.g., dropping) was applied to it.
Anchor Bolt
• Anchor bolts should be torqued to specification.
Belt Latch
• It should be secure when latched.
Seat Belt Buckle Switch
Check driver side seat belt switch and passenger side
seat belt switch for continuity by using ohmmeter.

Precautions on Service and Diagnosis of Air
Bag System
S6RW0D8200004
WARNING!
• If the air bag system and another vehicle
system both need repair, SUZUKI
recommends that the air bag system be
repaired first, to help avoid unintended air
bag system activation.
• Do not modify the steering wheel,
dashboard, both front seat or any other on
or around air bag system components.
Modifications can adversely affect air bag
system performance and lead to injury.
• Be sure to follow the procedures described
in this section. Failure to follow
procedures could result in possible air bag
system activation, personal injury or
unneeded air bag system repairs.

• WARNING / CAUTION labels are attached on each
part of air bag system components (SDM, air bag
(inflator) modules and seat belt pretensioners). Be
sure to follow the instructions.
• Many of service procedures require disconnection of
“A/B” fuse and air bag (inflator) module(s) (driver
module, passenger module, side modules and curtain
modules) from initiator circuit to avoid an accidental
deployment.
• Do not apply power to the air bag system unless all
components are connected or a diagnostic flow
requests it, as this will set a DTC.
• The “Air Bag Diagnostic System Check” must be the
starting point of any air bag diagnostics. The “Air Bag
Diagnostic System Check” will verify proper “AIR
BAG” warning light operation and will lead you to the
correct flow to diagnose any air bag malfunctions.
Bypassing these procedures may result in extended
diagnostic time, incorrect diagnosis, and incorrect
parts replacements.
• Never use air bag component parts from another
vehicle.
• If the vehicle will be exposed to temperatures over 93
°C (200 °F) (for example, during a paint baking
process), remove the air bag system components
beforehand to avoid component damage or
unintended system activation.• When handling the air bag (inflator) modules (driver
module, passenger module, side modules and curtain
modules), seat belt pretensioners (driver module and
passenger module), SDM, forward impact-sensor or
side impact-sensor be careful not to drop it or apply
an impact to it. If an excessive impact was applied
(e.g., SDM, forward impact-sensor are dropped, air
bag (inflator) module is dropped from a height of 90
cm (3 ft) or more, seat belt pretensioner (retractor
assembly) is dropped from a height of 30 cm (1 ft) or
more), never attempt disassembly or repair but
replace it with a new one.
• When using electric welding, be sure to disconnect air
bag (inflator) module connectors (driver module,
passenger module, side modules and curtain
modules) and seat belt pretensioner connectors
(driver module and passenger module) respectively.
• When applying paint around the air bag system
related parts, use care so that the harness or
connector will not be exposed to the paint mist.
• Never expose air bag system component parts
directly to hot air (drying or baking the vehicle after
painting) or flames.
WARNING!
When performing service on or around air
bag system components or air bag wiring,
follow the procedures listed in “Disabling Air
Bag System” to temporarily disable the air
bag system.
Failure to follow procedures could result in
possible air bag system activation, personal
injury or unneeded air bag system repairs.

SDM
WARNING!
Never power up air bag system when SDM is
not rigidly attached to the vehicle. Otherwise,
personal injury may result.

CAUTION!
After detecting one time of such collision as
to meet deployment conditions, SDM must
not be used. Refer to “Air Bag Diagnostic
System Check” when checking SDM.
