Front seats
A WARNING
Failure to take the following precautions may result in the driver's side floor mat interfering with the pedals and causing a loss of vehicle control or an accident. Check that the floor mat grommets are hooked to the fasteners. Never place additional floor mats on top of the existing floor mat.
Seat adjustment
A WARNING
Never attempt to adjust the driver's seat or seatback while driving. The seat or seatback could move unexpectedly, causing loss of control. Check that the driver's seat and seatback are properly adjusted before you start driving.
A WARNING
To avoid excessive seat belt slack, which reduces the effectiveness of the seat belts as a safety device, check that the seats are adjusted before the seat belts are fastened.
A WARNING
All seatbacks should always be in an upright position when driving, or seat belt effectiveness may be reduced. Seat belts are designed to offer maximum protection when seatbacks are in the upright position.
A WARNING
Do not place any object under the front seat. If an object becomes caught under the front seat, the following may occur. • The seat will not be latched.
A WARNING
Do not leave cigarette lighters or spray cans on the floor. If a cigarette lighter or spray can is on the floor, it may light accidentally when luggage is loaded or the seat is adjusted, causing a fire.

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 canceled when the driver's seat belt is buckled or the ignition switch is turned off.
Front passenger's seat belt reminder (if equipped) If there is a person sitting in the front passenger seat and the front passenger seat belt is unbuckled when the ignition switch is turned to "ON" position, the front passenger's seat belt reminder will activate. The front passenger's seat belt reminder works in the same manner as the driver's seat belt reminder.

equipped) will come on and then the interior buzzer may beep. ff a child or a sma/1 sized person sit on the front passenger's seat or the cushion is put on the front passenger's seat, the weight wi/1 not be sensed by the sensor and the interior buzzer may not beep.
FOR SAFE DRIVING
Rear passenger's seat belt reminder (if equipped) If there is a person sitting in the rear passenger seat and the rear passenger seat belt is unbuckled when the ignition switch is turned to "ON" position, the rear passenger's seat belt reminder will activate. The rear passenger's seat belt reminder works in the same manner as the driver's seat belt reminder.
NOTICE
The sensor of the rear passenger's seat belt reminder is located in the seat cushion. Therefore, if you spill liquid such as liquid aromatics, soft drinks or juice on the rear passenger's seat cushion, immediately wipe it dry with a soft cloth. Otherwise, the sensor of the rear passenger's seat belt reminder can be damaged.
NOTE: ff you put an object on the rear passenger's seat, the weight of the object will be sensed by the sensor and the rear passenger's seat belt reminder light (if equipped} wi/1 come on and then the interior buzzer may beep. ff a child or a small sized person sit on the rear passenger's seat or the cushion is put on the rear passenger's seat, the weight will not be sensed by the sensor and the interior buzzer may not beep.

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.

Immobilizer system
This system is designed to help prevent vehicle theft by electronically disabling the engine starting system. The engine can be started only with your vehicle's original immobilizer ignition key, which has an electronic identification code programmed in it. The key communicates the identification code to the vehicle when the ignition switch is turned to "ON" position. If you need to make spare keys, see a SUZUKI dealer. The vehicle must be programmed with the correct identification code for the spare. A key made by an ordinary locksmith will not work.

If the immobilizer warning light blinks when the ignition switch is in "ON" position, the engine will not start.
NOTICE
Do not modify or remove the immobilizer system. If modified or removed, the system cannot be properly operated.
NOTE: If the immobilizer system warning light blinks or comes on, a message may be shown on the information display. This immobilizer system is maintenancefree.
It this light blinks, turn the ignition switch to "LOCK" position, and then turn it back to "ON" position. It the light still blinks after the ignition switch is turned back to "ON" position, there may be something wrong with your key or with the immobilizer system. Ask a SUZUKI dealer to have the system inspected.
