Seat belt pretensioner system
63J269
To determine if your vehicle is equipped
with a seat belt pretensioner system at the
front or rear seating positions, check the
label on the seat belt at the bottom part. If
the letters “p” and/or “PRE” appear as illus-
trated, your vehicle is equipped with the
seat belt pretensioner system. You can use
the pretensioner seat belts in the same
manner as ordinary seat belts.
Read this section and “Supplemental
restraint system (air bags)” section to learn
more about the pretensioner system.
The seat belt pretensioner system works
with the supplemental r estraint system (air
bags). The crash sensors and the elec-
tronic controller of t he air bag system also
control the seat belt pretensioners. The
pretensioners are triggered only when
there is a frontal or side crash severe
enough to trigger the air bags and the seat
belts are fastened. For precautions and
general information including servicing the
pretensioner system, refer to “Supplemen-
tal restraint system (air bags)” section in
addition to this “Seat belt pretensioner sys-
tem” section, and follow all those precau-
tions.
The pretensioner is located in each front
seat belt retractor and both side of the rear
seat belt retractor (if equipped). The pre-
tensioner tightens the seat belt so the belt
fits the occupant’s body more snugly in the
event of a frontal or side crash. The retrac-
tors will remain locked after the pretension-
ers are activated. 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 fastening seat belts
at all times, whether or not a pretensioner
is equipped at their seating position, to
minimize the risk of severe injury or death
in the event o
f 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 “Seat adjustment” section
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 in severe
frontal or side crashes. They are not
designed to activate in rear impacts, roll-
overs, or minor frontal side crashes. The
pretensioners 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 AIR BAG light on the instrument cluster
does not blink or come on briefly when the

EXAMPLE
2-65BEFORE DRIVING
75RM4-01E
Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnostic
module which records information about
the air bag system if the air bags deploy in
a crash. The module records information
about overall system status, and which
sensors activated the deployment.
Servicing the air bag system
If the air bags inflate, have the air bags
and related components replaced by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
If your vehicle ever gets in deep water and
the driver’s floor is submerged, the air bag
controller could be damaged. If this hap-
pens, ask your SUZUKI dealer to check
the air bag system as soon as possible.
Special procedures are required for servic-
ing or replacing an air bag. For that rea-
son, only an authorized SUZUKI dealer
should be allowed to service or replace
your air bags. Remind anyone who ser-
vices your SUZUKI vehicle that it has air
bags.
Service on or around air bag components
or wiring must be performed only by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer. Improper ser-
vice could result in unintended air bag
deployment or could render the air bag
inoperative. Either of these two conditions
may result in severe injury. To prevent damage or unintended inflation
of the air bag system, check that the lead-
acid battery is disconnected and the igni-
tion switch has been in “LOCK” position or
the ignition mode has been LOCK (OFF)
for at least 90 seconds before performing
any electrical service work on your
SUZUKI vehicle. Do not touch air bag sys-
tem components or wires. The wires are
wrapped with yellow tape or yellow tubing,
and the couplers are yellow for easy identi-
fication.
Scrapping a vehicle that has an uninflated
air bag can be hazardous. Ask your dealer,
body repair shop or scrap yard for help
with disposal.
