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.

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.

How the system worksIn a frontal crash, the crash sensors will
detect rapid deceleration, and if the con-
troller judges that the deceleration rep-
resents a severe frontal crash, the
controller will trigger the inflators. If your
vehicle is equipped with side air bags and
side curtain air bags, crash sensors will
detect a side crash, and if the controller
judges that the side crash is severe
enough, it will trigger the side air bag and
side curtain air bag inflators. The inflators
inflate the appropriate air bags with nitro-
gen or argon gas. The inflated air bags
provide a cushion for your head (front air
bags and side curtain air bags only) and
upper body. The air bag inflates and
deflates so quickly that you may not even
realize that it has activated. The air bag will
neither hinder your view nor make it harder
to exit the vehicle.
Air bags must inflate quickly and forcefully
in order to reduce the chance of serious or
fatal injuries. However, an unavoidable
consequence of the quick inflation is that
the air bag may irritate bare skin, such as
the facial area against a front air bag.
Wash off any residue as soon as possible
to prevent skin irritation. Also, upon infla-
tion, a loud noise will occur and some pow-
der and smoke will be released. These
conditions are not harmful and do not indi-
cate a fire in the vehicle. Be aware, how-ever, that some air bag components may
be hot for a while after inflation.
A seat belt helps keep you in the proper
position for maximum protection when an
air bag inflates. Adjust your seat as far
back as possible while still maintaining
control of the vehicle. Sit fully back in your
seat; sit up straight; do not lean over the
steering wheel or dashboard. Front occu-
pants should not lean on or sleep against
the door. Refer to “Seat adjustment” sec-
tion and “Seat belts and child restraint sys-
tems” section in this
section for details on
proper seat and seat belt adjustments.

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.
Front passenger air bag deactiva-tion system (if equipped)
75RM189
The front passenger’s front air bag 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 or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to ON, “PAS-
SENGER AIRBAG ON” indicator (1) or
“PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF” indicator (2)
shows whether the front passenger’s air
bag is activated or deactivated.
