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.

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.

.A WARNING
(Vehicle without the front passenger airbag deactivation system) Do not install a rear-facing child restraint in the front passenger's seat. If the passenger's front airbag inflates, a child in a rear-facing child restraint could be killed or severely injured. The back of a rear-facing child restraint would be too close to the inflating airbag.
Conditions of front airbags may inflate
.A WARNING
(Vehicle with the front passenger airbag deactivation system) 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.
Refer to "Seat belts and child restraint systems" section for details on securing your child .

Front airbags may not inflate The front airbags may not infiate when a strong impact has not occurred since the collision object was easy to be deformed or moved, or the crashed portion of your vehicle was easy to be deformed. Also, front airbags may not inflate in many cases when the collision angle is greater than about 30 degrees at left and right angles from the front of your vehicle.

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 curtain airbags

Side curtain airbags are located in the roof lining. The words "SRS AIRBAG" are melded into the pillar to identify the location of the side curtain 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.

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.
