switch and to close the window lift up the
top part of the switch.
The driver’s window has an “auto-down”
feature for added convenience (at toll
booths or drive-through restaurants, for
example). This means you can open the
window without holding the window switch
in the “Down” position. Press the driver’s
window switch completely down and
release it. To stop the window before it
reaches the bottom, pull the switch up
briefly.Lock switch

The driver’s door also has a lock switch for
the passenger’s window(s). When you
push in the lock switch, the passenger’s
window(s) cannot be raised or lowered by
operating either of the switches (2), (3), (4)
or (5). To restore normal operation, release
the lock switch by pushing again.
NOTE:
If you drive with one of the rear windows
open, you may hear a loud sound caused
by air vibration. To reduce the sound, open
the driver’s or front passenger’s window, or
narrow the rear window opening.

WARNING
 You should always lock the passen-
ger’s window operation when there
are children in the vehicle. Children
can be seriously injured if they get
part of their body caught by the

window entrapment, be sure no
part of the occupant’s body such
as hands or head is in the path of
the electric windows when closing
them.
 Always remove the ignition key
when leaving the vehicle even if
only for a short time. Also do not

reminder light in the instrument cluster and
the front passenger’s seat belt reminder
light in the center of the instrument panel
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
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.

Driver’s seat belt reminder
If the driver’s seat belt remains unbuckled
with the ignition key in the “ON” position,
the driver’s seat belt reminder works as fol-
lows:
1) The driver’s seat belt reminder light will
come on for about 20 seconds when
the ignition key is turned to the “ON”
position then will blink for about 55 sec-
onds. 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 switch is
turned off.Front passenger’s seat belt reminder
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 switch is
turned to the “ON” position.Shoulder anchor height adjuster
(if equipped)
64J198
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 pulling the lock knob out. After
adjustment, make sure that the anchor is
securely locked.
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.

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 front air bags will activate in
severe frontal collisions. Also, the preten-
sioners along with the side curtain air bags
will activate in severe rollovers. They are
not designed to activate in rear impacts,
side impacts, or minor frontal collisions.
The pretensioners can be activated only
once. If the pretensioners are activated
(that is, if the front air bags and/or the side
curtain air bags are activated), have the
pretensioner system serviced by an autho-
rized 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 thesetwo 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 are
yellow. When scrapping your SUZUKI, ask
your SUZUKI dealer, body repair shop or
scrap yard for assistance.
