2010 SUZUKI KIZASHI seat adjustment

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
side curtain air bags and rear side air
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

2-65BEFORE DRIVING
57L20-03E
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 the vehicle. Sit fully back in your
seat; sit up straight; do not lean over the
steering wheel or dashboard. Front occu-
pants should not lean on or sleep against
the door. Please refer to the “Seat Adjust-
ment” section and the “Seat Belts and
Child Restraint Systems” section in the
“BEFORE DRIVING” section for details on
proper seat and seat belt adjustments.

WARNING
 The driver should not lean over the
steering wheel. The front passen-
ger should not rest his or her body
against the dashboard, or other-
wise get too close to the dash-
board. For vehicles with side air
bags, rear side air bags and side
curtain air bags, occupants should
not lean on or sleep against the
door. In these situations, the out-of-
position occupant would be too
close to an inflating air bag, and
may suffer severe injury.
 Do not attach any objects to, or
place any objects over, the steering
wheel or dashboard. Do not place
any objects between the air bag
and the driver or front passenger.
These objects may interfere with air
bag operation or may be propelled
by the air bag in the event of a
crash. Either of these conditions
may cause severe injury.
 For vehicles with front side air
bags, do not place seat covers on
the front seats, because seat cov-
ers could restrict the air bag’s infla-
tion. Also, do not place any cup
holders or other objects on the
door, as these objects could be
propelled by the air bag in the event
of a crash. Either of these condi-
tions may cause severe injury.
