When the driver and/or passenger(s)
do(does) not buckle his or her seat belt,
the seat belt reminder light will come on or
blink and a buzzer will sound as a
reminder to the driver and/or passenger(s)
to buckle his or her seat belt. For more
details, refer to the explanation below.
NOTE:
The driver’s seat belt reminder light / front
passenger’s seat belt reminder light is for
both the driver and front passenger. Driver’s seat belt reminder
If the driver’s seat belt remains unbuckled
when the ignition switch is turned to “ON”
position or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to ON, the
reminder works as follows:
1) The seat belt reminder light will come
on.
2) After the vehicle’s speed has reached
about 15 km/h, the seat belt reminder
light will blink and a buzzer will sound
for about 95 seconds.
3) The reminder light will remain on until the driver’s seat belt is buckled.
If the driver has buckled his or her seat belt
and later unbuckles the seat belt, the
reminder system will be activated from
Step 1) or 2) according to the vehicle’s
speed. When the vehicle’s speed is less
than 15 km/h, the reminder will start from
Step 1). When the vehicle’s speed is more
than 15 km/h, the reminder will start from
Step 2).
The reminder will be automatically can-
celed when the driver’s seat belt is buckled
or the ignition switch is turned off, or the
engine switch is pressed to change the
ignition mode to LOCK (OFF). Front passenger’s seat belt reminder
(if equipped)
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 a pas-
senger was present. The front passenger’s
seat belt reminder wo
rks in the same man-
ner as the driver’s seat belt reminder.
Rear passenger’s seat belt reminder
(if equipped)
If a rear seat belt is not fastened when the
engine is started, all the rear passenger’s
seat belt reminder lights will come on for
about 35 seconds and then go out.
Within this 35 seconds;
• For the instrument c luster with tachome-
ter, the corresponding reminder is high-
lighted. The reminder fades when the
seat belt is fastened.
• For the instrum ent cluster without
tachometer, the corresponding reminder
comes on with the frame. The reminder
goes off with leaving the frame when the
seat belt is fastened.
The rear passenger’s seat belt reminder
lights will also come on for about 35 sec-
onds in the following conditions.
• If a seat belt is unfastened when the vehicle speed is less than 15 km/h, the
corresponding light will come on.
WA R N I N G
It is absolutely essential that the
driver and passengers fasten their
seat belts at all times. Persons who
are not fastening seat belts have a
much greater risk of injury if an acci-
dent occurs. Make a regular habit of
buckling your seat belt before putting
the key in the ignition or pressing the
engine switch.

(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 passe nger’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 t he most rear position
by the seat position adjustment lever.
– Adjust the seatba ck at the 5th step
inclined position (counted from most
upright position) w ith 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, appr opriately slide the
front seat forward not to touch a part of
your child’s body.
CAUTION
Adjust the height of the rear head
restraint or remove it for fitting the
child restraint, as necessary. How-
ever, if a booster cushion not
equipped with the head restraint is
fitted, the rear seat head restraint
should not be removed. If the rear
head restraint is removed for fitting
the child restraint, you need to install
it again after removing the child
restraint.
If the child restraint is fitted improp-
erly, a child sitting in it could be
injured in a crash.

ignition mode to ON, stays on for more
than 10 seconds, or comes on while driv-
ing, 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, check that the
lead-acid battery is disconnected and the
ignition switch has been in “LOCK” position
or the ignition mode has been LOCK
(OFF) for at least 90 seconds before per-
forming any electrical service work on your
SUZUKI vehicle.
Do not touch preten sioner system compo-
nents or wiring. The wires are wrapped
with yellow tape or yellow tubing, and the
couplers are yellow. When scrapping your
SUZUKI vehicle, ask your SUZUKI dealer,
body repair shop, or scrap yard for assis-
tance.

Even though your vehicle is moderately
damaged by a crash, it may not be severe
enough to trigger front, side or side curtain
air bags to inflate. If your vehicle sustains
any front-end or side damage, have the air
bag system inspected by an authorized
SUZUKI dealer to ensure that it works
properly.
WA R N I N G
• 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 and side curtain air bag,
occupants should not lean on or
sleep against the door. In these sit-
uations, the out-of-position occu-
pant would be too close to an
inflating air bag, and may suffer
severe injury.
• Do not attach any objects to, or place any objects ov er, 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. Also, these objects may
move when you start moving vehi-
cle or while vehicle is moving, they
may interfere with driver’s view or
safe driving. In each conditions
may cause severe injury. (Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• For vehicles with side air bags, do
not use non-genuine seat covers on
the front seats, because non-genu-
ine seat covers may obstruct the
inflation of side air bags. SUZUKI
highly recommends SUZUKI-genu-
ine seat covers to be used when
covering the front seats of such
vehicles with side air bags. Also,
near the door, do not place cup
holders, hangers or any other
objects and do not lean an umbrella,
as these objects could be propelled
by the air bag in the event of a
crash. Either of these conditions
may cause severe injury.
• Do not strike or apply significant levels of impact to the air bag com-
ponent areas. It can cause the air
bags to malfunction.

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.
