sive force.

A. WARNING
An airbag supplements or adds to the frontal collision protection offered by seat belts. The driver and all passen­gers must be properly restrained by fastening seat belts at all times, whether or not an airbag is mounted at their seating position, to minimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a collision.

Front airbags
63J259
Front airbags are designed to infiate in severe frontal collisions when the ignition switch is in "ON" position.
NOTE: In a frontal angle collision, the side airbags and side cwtain airbags may inflate.
Front airbags are not designed to infiate in rear impacts, side impacts, rollovers or minor frontal collisions, since they would offer no protection in those types of acci­dents. Since an airbag deploys only one time during an accident, seat belts are needed to restrain occupants from further movements during the accident.
1-37
Therefore, an airbag is not a substitute for Front passenger's front airbag seat belts. To maximize your protection, always fasten your seat belts. Be aware that no system can prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident.
Driver's front airbag

SRS AIRBAG
78RB02023
SRS AIRBAG
78RB02024
The driver's front airbag is located behind the canter pad of the steering wheel and the front passenger's front airbag is located behind the passenger's side of the dashboard. The words "SRS AIRBAG" are melded into the airbag covers to identify the location of the airbags.
A WARNING
If the airbag stored place is damaged or cracked, the airbag system may not work properly, which could result in serious injury in the event of a col­lision. Have your vehicle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.

Side airbags and side curtain air­
bags
68KM090
Side airbags and side curtain airbags are designed to inflate in severe side impact collisions when the ignition switch is in "ON" position.
Side airbags and side curtain airbags are not designed to inflate in frontal or rear col­lisions, rollovers or minor side collisions, since they would offer no protection in those types of accidents. Only the side air­bag and side curtain airbag on the side of the vehicle that is struck will inflate. How­ever, in a frontal angle collision, the side airbags and side curtain airbags may inflate. Since an airbag deploys only one time during an accident, seat belts are needed to restrain occupants from further movements during the accident.
Therefore, an airbag is not a substitute for seat belts. To maximize your protection, always fasten your seat belts. Be aware that no system can prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident.
Side airbags
78RB02025
Side airbags are located in the part of the front seatbacks closest to the doors. The "SRS AIRBAG" labels are attached to the seatbacks to identify the location of the side airbags.

Side airbags and side curtain airbags do not inflate How the system works
80J120
• Impact from the rear
80J110
• Vehicle rollover
In a frontal collision, the crash sensors will detect rapid deceleration, and if the con­troller judges that the deceleration rep­resents a severe frontal collision, the controller will trigger the infiators. If your vehicle is equipped with side airbags and side curtain airbags, crash sensors will detect a side collision, and if the controller judges that the side collision is severe enough, it will trigger the side airbag and side curtain airbag infiators. The infiators inflate the appropriate airbags with nitro­gen or argon gas. The infiated airbags pro­vide a cushion for your head (front airbags and side curtain airbags only) and upper body. The airbag inflates and defiates so quickly that you may not even realize that it has activated. The airbag will neither hin­der your view nor make it harder to exit the vehicle.
Airbags must infiate quickly and forcefully in order to reduce the chance of serious or fatal injuries. However, an unavoidable consequence of the quick infiation is that the airbag may irritate bare skin, such as the facial area against a front airbag. Wash off any residue as soon as possible to pre­vent skin irritation. Also, upon inflation, a loud noise will occur and some powder and smoke will be released. These condi­tions are not harmful and do not indicate a fire in the vehicle. Be aware, however, that some airbag components may be hot for a while after infiation.

Front passenger airbag deactiva­
tion system (if equipped)
(2)
78RB02027
The front passenger's front airbag system must be deactivated if a child restraint sys­tem is to be installed on the front passen­ger's seat. When the ignition switch is turned to "ON" position, "PASSENGER AIRBAG ON" indi­cator (1) or "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" indicator (2) shows whether the front pas­senger's airbag system is activated or deactivated.
1-47
When the front passenger's airbag system is activated, both "PASSENGER AIRBAG ON" indicator (1) and "PASSENGER AIR­BAG OFF" indicator (2) come on for a few seconds and then go out. After that, only "PASSENGER AIRBAG ON" indicator (1) comes on for about 1 minute and then goes out.
When the front passenger's airbag system is deactivated, both "PASSENGER AIR­BAG ON" indicator (1) and "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" indicator (2) come on for a few seconds and then go out. After that, only "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" indicator (2) comes on.
When you activate or deactivate the front passenger's airbag system, check which indicator is on before starting the engine.
Side airbags, side curtain airbags and seat belt pretensioners are not connected to the airbag deactivation system. Even if the front passenger's airbag system is deacti­vated, side airbags, side curtain airbags and seat belt pretensioners are still acti­vated.

.A WARNING
When using child restraint system on the front passenger's seat, the front passenger's airbag system must be deactivated; otherwise deployment of the front passenger's airbag could result in the death or serious injury of the child.
.A WARNING
Check that the front passenger's air­bag system is activated and "PAS­SENGER AIRBAG ON" indicator (1) is on whenever there is no child restraint installed on the front pas­senger's seat.

According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in rear seating positions than front seating posi­tions. Whenever possible, SUZUKI recom­mends that child restraint systems be installed on the rear seat.
Airbag deactivation switch
78RB02028
The airbag deactivation switch (3) is installed only for use when a rear-facing child restraint system or infant restraint system is installed in the front passenger's seat. The switch is located on the lateral face of the passenger's side of the instru­ment panel.
To deactivate the front passenger's airbag system, follow the instructions below before starting the engine. 1) Check that the ignition switch is in "LOCK" position. 2) Insert the key into the airbag deactiva­tion switch (3), then push and turn the key to "OFF" (airbag off) position, and pull out the key. 3) Turn the ignition switch to "ON" posi­tion. Both indicators come on for a few seconds and then go out. After that, only "PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" indicator (2) comes on to remind you that the front passenger's airbag system is deactivated.
