Front air bags are designed to inflate in severe frontal collisions when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position.
Front air bags are not designed to inflate in rear impacts, side impacts, rollovers orminor frontal collisions, since they would offer no protection in those types of acci- dents. Remember, since an air bagdeploys only one time during an accident, seat belts are needed to restrain occu- pants from further movements during theaccident.
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.

BEFORE DRIVING

76MH1-74E
Note that even though your vehicle may be moderately damaged in a frontal collision,the collision may not have been severe enough to trigger the air bags to inflate. If your vehicle sustains ANY front-end dam-age, have the air bag system inspected by an authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer to ensure it is in proper working order.
Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnostic module which records information aboutthe air bag system if the air bags deploy ina crash. The module records informationabout overall system status, which sensorsactivated the deployment, and for a certain vehicle only, whether the driver’s seat belt was in use.
Servicing the air bag system If the air bags inflate, have the air bags andrelated components replaced by an autho- rized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
If your vehicle ever gets in deep water and the driver’s floor is submerged, the air bagcontroller could be damaged. If it does, have the air bag system inspected by theMARUTI SUZUKI dealer as soon as possi- ble.
Special procedures are required for servic- ing or replacing an air bag. For that reason, only an authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer should be allowed to service orreplace your air bags. Please remind any-
one who services your vehicle that it has air bags.
Service on or around air bag components or wiring must be performed only by an authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.Improper service could result in unin- tended air bag deployment or could render the air bag inoperative. Either of these twoconditions may result in severe injury.
To prevent damage or unintended inflation of the air bag system, be sure the batteryis disconnected and the ignition switch hasbeen in the “LOCK” position for at least 90seconds before performing any electrical service work on your vehicle. Do not touch air bag system components or wires. Thewires are wrapped with yellow tape or yel- low tubing, and the couplers are yellow for easy identification.
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.

The tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute.
Fuel Gauge
With tachometer
76MH0A037
Without tachometer
76MH0A038
When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, this gauge gives an approximate indication of the amount of fuel in the fueltank. “F” stands for full and “E” stands for empty.
If the fuel meter indicator shows only one segment to “E”, refill the tank as soon aspossible.
NOTE: If the last segment blinks, it means that thefuel is almost empty.
If the low fuel warning light (1) comes on, fill the fuel tank immediately.
NOTE:The activation point of the low fuel warning light (1) varies depending on road condi- tions (for example, slope or curve) anddriving conditions because of fuel moving in the tank.
Refer to “Low Fuel Warning Light” in“Warning and Indicator Lights” in this sec- tion for details.
The mark (2) indicates that the fuel filler door is located on the left side of the vehi-cle.
Brightness Control
76MH0A039
When the ignition switch is turned to the“ON” position, the pointer lights come on.
Your vehicle has a system to automaticallydim the brightness of the instrument panellights when the position lights or headlights are on.
When the position lights and/or headlights are ON, you can control the meter illumina- tion intensity.
NOTICE
Never drive the vehicle with theengine revving in the red zone, orsevere engine damage can result. Keep the engine speed below the red zone even when downshifting to alower gear position. Refer to “Down- shifting maximum allowable speeds” in the “OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE”section.
