(For models with front passenger air bag
deactivation system)
Whenever possible, SUZUKI recom-
mends that child restraint systems be
installed on the rear seat. According to
accident statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in rear seating posi-
tions than in front seating positions.
• If you must install the child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger’s seat, follow
instructions below.
– Deactivate the front passenger’s front
air bag by the front passenger air bag
deactivation system.
– Slide the seat to the most rear position
by the seat position adjustment lever.
– Adjust the seatback at the 5th step
inclined position (counted from most
upright position) with the seatback
angle adjustment lever.
– If your vehicle is equipped with the
seat height adjustment lever, raise the
seat to the uppermost position by the
seat height adjustment lever.
Install your child restraint system accord-
ing to the instructions provided by the child
restraint system manufacturer.
Check that the seat belt is securely
latched.
Move the child restraint system in all direc-
tions to check that it is securely installed.
When you put your child in the child
restraint system, appropriately slide the
front seat forward not to touch a part of
your child’s body.
WA R N I N G
If rear outside seat belt is fastened
without unhooking the webbing from
