When the driver and front passenger don’t
buckle their seat belts, the driver’s seat belt
reminder light in the instrument cluster and
the front passenger’s seat belt reminder
light in the information display will come on
and a buzzer will sound as a reminder to
the driver and front passenger to buckle
their seat belts.
The seat belt reminder functions as shown
in the figure below. There are some differ-
ences between the driver’s seat belt
reminder and the front passenger’s seat
belt reminder. For more details, refer to the
explanation below.
WARNING
If you park your vehicle outdoors in
direct sunlight or in hot weather, an
exposed latch plate can get hot
enough to burn you. Be careful not to
touch a hot latch plate.

WARNING
It is absolutely essential that the
driver and passengers wear their seat
belts at all times. Persons who are
not wearing seat belts have a much
greater risk of injury if an accident
occurs. Make a regular habit of buck-
ling your seat belt before putting the
key in the ignition.

are not designed to activate in rear
impacts, side impacts, rollovers or minor
frontal collisions. The pretensioners can be
activated only once. If the pretensioners
are activated, have the pretensioner sys-
tem serviced by an authorized SUZUKI
dealer as soon as possible.
If the “AIR BAG” light on the instrument
cluster does not blink or come on briefly
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, stays on for more than 10
seconds, or comes on while driving, the
pretensioner system or the air bag system
may not work properly. Have both systems
inspected by an authorized SUZUKI dealer
as soon as possible.
Service on or around the pretensioner sys-
tem components or wiring must be per-
formed only by an authorized SUZUKI
dealer who is specially trained. Improper
service could result in unintended activa-
tion of pretensioners or could render the
pretensioner inoperative. Either of these
two conditions may result in personal
injury.
To prevent damage or unintended activa-
tion of the pretensioners, be sure the bat-
tery is disconnected and the ignition switch
has been in the “LOCK” position for at least
90 seconds before performing any electri-
cal service work on your SUZUKI. Do not
touch pretensioner system components or
wiring. The wires are wrapped with yellow
tape or yellow tubing, and the couplers areyellow. When scrapping your SUZUKI, ask
your SUZUKI dealer, body repair shop or
scrap yard for assistance.
Supplemental Restraint
System (air bags)
54G022
Your vehicle has advanced front air bags
and side air bags for the driver and right
front passenger.
WARNING
This section of the owner’s manual
describes the protection provided by
your vehicle’s SUPPLEMENTAL
RESTRAINT SYSTEM (air bags).
Please read and follow ALL these
instructions carefully to minimize
your risk of severe injury or death in
the event of a collision.EXAMPLE

Side air bag will not inflate
54G027
Side air bag will probably not inflate
54G028
Front air bags are designed to inflate only
in severe frontal collisions. They are not
designed to inflate in rear impacts, side
impacts, rollovers or minor frontal colli-
sions, since they would offer no protection
in those types of accidents. Side air bags
are designed to inflate only in severe side-
impact collisions. They are not designed to
inflate in frontal or rear collisions, rollovers
or minor side collisions, since they would
offer no protection in those types of acci-
dents. Only the side air bag on the side of
the vehicle that is struck will inflate.
Remember, since air bags deploy only one
time during an accident, seat belts are
needed to restrain occupants from further
movements during the accident.
Therefore, an air bag is NOT a substitute
for seat belts. To maximize your protection,
ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEAT BELTS. Be
aware that no system can prevent all pos-
sible injuries that may occur in an accident.
60G300
If the “AIR BAG” light on the instrument
cluster does not blink when the ignition
switch is first turned to the “ON” position,
or the “AIR BAG” light stays on, or comes
on while driving, the air bag system may
not work properly. Have the air bag system
inspected by an authorized SUZUKI dealer
as soon as possible.
WARNING
Air bags supplement, or add to, the
crash protection offered by seat
belts. The driver and all passengers
must be properly restrained by wear-
ing seat belts at all times, whether or
not air bags are mounted at their
seating position, to minimize the risk
of severe injury or death in the event
of a crash.

Your vehicle has “dual stage” front air
bags, which adjust the air bag inflation
force according to crash severity, driver’s
seat fore/aft position and whether or not
the driver’s seat belt is fastened. Also, your
vehicle has a front passenger sensing sys-
tem, which turns off the front passenger’s
front air bag under certain conditions.Driver’s Seat Position SensorThe driver’s seat is equipped with a seat
position sensor to monitor the driver seat
fore/aft position. The seat position sensor
provides information which is used to
judge if the driver’s front air bag should
deploy at reduced power or at full power.
When the seat position sensor has a prob-
lem, the “AIR BAG” light on the instrument
cluster will turn on. If this happens, deploy-
ment of the driver’s front air bag will not
include consideration of seat fore/aft posi-
tion. Have the air bag system inspected by
an authorized SUZUKI dealer as soon as
possible.
Driver’s Seat Belt Buckle SensorThe driver’s seat belt buckle is equipped
with a sensor to monitor whether or not the
driver’s seat belt is fastened. The driver’s
seat belt buckle sensor provides informa-
tion which is used to judge if the driver’s
front air bag should deploy at reduced
power or at full power.
When the buckle sensor has a problem,
the “AIR BAG” light on the instrument clus-
ter will turn on. If this happens, deployment
of the driver’s front air bag will not include
consideration of whether the driver’s seat
belt is fastened or not. Have the air bag
system inspected by an authorized
SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.Front Passenger Sensing SystemThe front passenger sensing system will
turn off the front passenger’s front air bag
under certain conditions. This system
works using weight sensors that are part of
the front passenger’s seat and a seat belt
sensor. The front passenger sensing sys-
tem is designed to detect whether an occu-
pant is present in the seat and, if an
occupant is present, to determine whether
the front passenger’s front air bag should
be enabled or disabled (turned off).
NOTE:
The front passenger’s side air bag is not
controlled by the front passenger sensing
system.
54G517
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, the “PASS AIRBAG OFF”
indicator comes on for several seconds to
let you know the system is working. When
the front passenger sensing system has
turned off the front passenger’s front air
bag, the “PASS AIRBAG OFF” indicator
will come on and stay on to remind you
that the front passenger’s front air bag is
off.
The front passenger sensing system is
designed to turn off the front passenger’s
front air bag when the weight on the front
seat is 30 kg (65 lbs) or less. The front air
bag should be turned off in the following
situations:
 There is no occupant in the front pas-
senger seat.
 The occupant of the front passenger
seat leaves the seat for a period of time.
CAUTION
Do not put any cargo or metal objects
under the seat. The seat position sen-
sor may not work properly or may be
damaged if it is covered with some-
thing.
