(For models with front passenger airbag deactivation system) Whenever possible, SUZUKI recom­mends that child restraint systems be installed on . th_e rear seat. According to· accident stat1st1cs, children are safer when ~roperly restrained in rear seating posi­tions than in front seating positions. • If you must install the child restraint sys­tem on the front passenger's seat follow instructions below. ' -D_eactivate the front passenger's front airbag by the front passenger airbag d~activation system (if equipped). -Slide the seat to the most rear position by the seat position adjustment lever. -If there is a gap or space between the child restraint and the seatback, adjust the seatback angle in order to install the child restraint system properly.
Install your child restraint system accord­ing 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 direc­tions 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.
Installation with ISOFIX type
anchorages
78RB02020
Your vehicle is equipped with the lower anchorages in the rear seat outboard seat­ing positions for securing a ISOFIX type of child restraints with the connecting bars. The lower anchorages are located where the rear of the seat cushion meets the bot­tom of the seatback.
A WARNING
Install the ISOFIX type of child restraint(s) in the only outboard seat­ing positions, not in the central posi­tion for the rear seat.

Install the ISOFIX type child restraint sys­tem according to the instructions provided by the child restraint system manufacturer. After installation, try moving the child restraint system in all directions especially forward to check that connecting bars are securely latched to the anchorages.

Installation of child restraint with
top tether
78RB02021
Some child restraint systems require the use of a top tether strap. Top tether anchor­age brackets are provided in your vehicle at the locations shown in the illustrations. The number of the top tether anchorage brackets provided in your vehicle depends on the vehicle specification. Install the child restraint system as follows:
1) Secure the child restraint on the rear seat using the procedure described above for securing a restraint system that does not require a top tether strap. 2) Hook the top tether strap to the top tether anchorage bracket and tighten the top tether strap according to the instructions provided by the child restraint system manufacturer. Attach the top tether strap to the correspond­ing top tether anchorage bracket located directly behind the child restraint. Do not attach the top tether strap to the luggage restraint loops (if equipped).
A WARNING
Do not attach the child restraint top tether strap to the luggage restraint loops (if equipped). Incorrectly attached top tether strap will reduce the intended effectiveness of the child restraint system.

Seat belt pretensioner system
A WARNING
This section describes your SUZUKI vehicle's seat belt pretensioner sys­tem. Read and follow all these instructions carefully to minimize your risk of severe injury or death.
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 illus­trated, 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 (airbags)" section to learn more about the pretensioner system.
The seat belt pretensioner system works with the supplemental restraint system (air­bags). The crash sensors and the elec­tronic controller of the airbag system also control the seat belt pretensioners. The pretensioners are triggered only when there is a frontal or side collision severe enough to trigger the airbags and the seat belts are fastened. For precautions and general information including servicing the pretensioner system, refer to "Supplemen­tal restraint system (airbags)" section in addition to this "Seat belt pretensioner sys­tem" section, and follow all those precau­tions.

The pretensioner is located in each front seat belt retractor and each rear seat belt retractor in outboard seating position. The pretensioner tightens the seat belt so the belt fits the occupant's body more snugly in the event of a frontal or side collision. The retractors will remain locked after the pre­tensioners 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 of a collision.
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 airbags will activate in severe fron­tal or side collisions. They are not designed to activate in rear impacts, roll­overs, or minor frontal side collisions. The pretensioners can be activated only once. If the pretensioners are activated (that is, if the airbags are activated), have the pre­tensioner system serviced by a SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
FOR SAFE DRIVING
If AIRBAG light on the instrument cluster does not blink or come on briefiy when the ignition switch is turned to "ON" position, stays on for more than 1 O seconds, or comes on while driving, the pretensioner system or the airbag system may not work properly. Have both systems inspected by a SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
Service on or around the pretensioner sys­tem components or wiring must be per­formed only by a SUZUKI dealer who is specially trained. Improper service could result in unintended activation of preten­sioners or could render the pretensioner inoperative. Either of these two conditions may result in personal injury.
To prevent damage or unintended activa­tion of the pretensioners, check that the lead-acid battery is disconnected and the ignition switch has been in "LOCK" position for at least 90 seconds before performing any electrical service work on your SUZUKI vehicle.
Do not touch pretensioner system compo­nents or wiring. The wires are wrapped with yellow tape or yellow tubing, and the couplers are yellow. When scrapping your SUZUKI vehicle, ask a SUZUKI dealer, body repair shop, or scrap yard for assis­tance.
