Adjust the outside rearview mirrors so you
can just see the side of your vehicle in the
mirrors.
The passenger’s side mirror is a convex
(curved surface) mirror. Objects seen in
this mirror will look smaller and appear far-
ther away than when seen in a flat mirror.
Power Mirror Control
57L21029
The switch to control the power rearview
mirrors is located on the driver’s door
panel. You can adjust the mirrors after
pressing the engine switch to change the

right to select the mirror you wish to
adjust.
2) Press the outer part of the switch that
corresponds to the direction you wish to
move the mirror.
3) Return the selector switch to the center
position to help prevent unintended
adjustment.

preferred preprogrammed seat position at
the touch of one of the three position but-
tons, which are provided on the top of the
switch block on the outside of the driver’s
seat. One seat position can be pro-
grammed to each button, so a total of three
different positions can be stored in mem-
ory.
How to program a seat position

1) Adjust the seat position as desired.
2) Within 5 seconds after pressing the
memory button (4) or while pressing the

tion button is overwritten if you program
another seat position to the same button.
How to restore the seat to a memorized
position
1) Press the engine switch to change the
ignition mode to “ACC” or “ON”.
2) Press the desired position button. A
buzzer will sound both when the system

restoring the memorized position. The
seat is now automatically set to the
selected position.
NOTE:
 If you press any of the following buttons
during the process of restoring a memo-
rized position, the system stops the pro-
cess.
– Memory button
– Position button of any other number
– Any of the seat position adjusting
switches
 Restoring the seat to a memorized posi-

about 55 seconds. When the reminder light first comes on, a buzzer sounds intermittently
for about 6 seconds.

Driver’s seat belt reminder
If the driver’s seat belt remains unbuckled
after changing the ignition mode to “ON” by
pressing the engine switch, the driver’s
seat belt reminder works as follows:
1) The driver’s seat belt reminder light will
come on for about 20 seconds when
the ignition mode is changed to “ON”
by pressing the engine switch, the
engine switch then will blink for about
55 seconds. When the light comes on,
a buzzer will also sound intermittently
for about 6 seconds (Reminder 1).
2) If the vehicle is driven (vehicle speed >
8 km/h), Reminder 2 will operate about
30 seconds after Reminder 1 has fin-
ished.
If the vehicle is not driven (vehicle
speed < 8 km/h), Reminder 2 will oper-
ate when driving starts (vehicle speed >
8 km/h).
3) Reminder 3 will operate about 3 min-
utes after Reminder 2 has finished.
4) Even if the driver’s seat belt remains
unbuckled after Reminder 3, there will
be no further reminders.
If the driver has buckled his or her seat belt
and later unbuckles the seat belt, the
reminder system will be activated from
Reminder 1 or Reminder 2 according to
the vehicle speed. (Refer to the flow chart.)
The driver’s seat belt reminder will be auto-
matically canceled when the driver’s seat
belt is buckled or the ignition mode is

changed to “LOCK” (OFF) by pressing the
engine switch.
Front passenger’s seat belt reminder (if
equipped)
The front passenger’s seat belt reminder
will activate only when there is a passen-
ger sitting in the front seat. In some situa-
tions, however, such as when you place
heavy objects in the front seat, the seat
belt reminder can be activated as if there
were a passenger present. The front pas-
senger’s seat belt reminder works in the
same manner as the driver’s seat belt
reminder, except that it is not activated
until 10 seconds after the ignition mode is
changed to “ON” by pressing the engine
switch.
Shoulder Anchor Height Adjuster
57L21045
Adjust the shoulder anchor height so that
the shoulder belt rides on the center of the
outside shoulder. To upward, slide the
anchor up. To downward, slide the anchor
down while down the lock lever. After
adjustment, make sure that the anchor is
securely locked.
Seat Belt Inspection
65D209S
Periodically 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.
WARNING
Be sure that the shoulder belt is posi-
tioned on the center of the outside
shoulder. The belt should be away
from your face and neck, but not fall-
ing off your shoulder. Misadjustment
of the belt could reduce the effective-
ness of the safety belt in a crash.

2-55BEFORE DRIVING
57L20-03E
The front seat belt retractors and lap belt
anchorages are each provided with a pre-
tensioner. The pretensioner tightens the
seat belt so the belt fits the occupant’s
body more snugly in the event of a frontal
or side crash. The retractors will remain
locked after the pretensioners are acti-
vated. Upon activation, some noise will
occur and some smoke may be released.
These conditions are not harmful and do
not indicate a fire in the vehicle.
The driver and all passengers must be
properly restrained by wearing seat belts
at all times, whether or not a pretensioner
is equipped at their seating position, to
help minimize the risk of severe injury or
death in the event of a crash.
Sit fully back in the seat; sit up straight; do
not lean forward or sideways. Adjust the
belt so the lap portion of the belt is worn
low across the pelvis, not across the waist.
Please refer to the “Seat Adjustment” sec-
tion and the instructions and precautions
about the seat belts in this “Seat Belts and
Child Restraint Systems” section for details
on proper seat and seat belt adjustments.
Please note that the pretensioners along
with the air bags will activate only in severe
frontal or side collisions. They are not
designed to activate in rear impacts, roll-
overs or minor frontal collisions. The pre-
tensioners can be activated only once. If
the pretensioners are activated (that is, if
the air bags are activated), have the pre-tensioner system serviced by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
If the AIR BAG light on the instrument clus-
ter does not blink or come on briefly when
the ignition mode is changed to “ON” by
pressing the engine switch, 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 engine switch
has been in the “LOCK” (OFF) mode for at
least 90 seconds before performing any
electrical service work on your SUZUKI.
Do not touch pretensioner system compo-
nents or wiring. The wires are wrapped
with yellow tape or yellow tubing, and the
couplers are yellow. When scrapping your
SUZUKI, ask an authorized SUZUKI
dealer, body repair shop or scrap yard for
assistance.
Supplemental Restraint
System (air bags)
54G022
Your vehicle has advanced front air bags
and front side air bags for the driver and
right front passenger. Your vehicle also has

bags.
WARNING
This section of the owner’s manual
describes the protection provided by
your SUZUKI’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

If the AIR BAG light on the instrument clus-
ter does not blink or come on when the
ignition mode is first changed to “ON” by
pressing the engine switch, or the AIR
BAG light stays on, or comes on while driv-
ing, the air bag system (or the seat belt
pretensioner system) may not work prop-
erly. Have the air bag system inspected by
an authorized SUZUKI dealer as soon as
possible.
Front Air Bags

57L2111557L21116
The driver’s front air bag is located behind
the center pad of the steering wheel and
the front passenger’s front air bag is
located behind the passenger’s side of the
dashboard. The words “SRS AIRBAG” are
molded into the air bag covers to identify
the location of the air bags.
