MARUTI SUZUKI highly recommends that you use a child restraint system to restrain infants and small children. Many differenttypes of child restraint systems are avail-
able; make sure that the restraint systemyou select meets applicable safety stan-dards.
All child restraint systems are designed tobe secured on vehicle seats by either seat belts (lap belts or the lap portion of lap- shoulder belts). Whenever possible, MAR- UTI SUZUKI recommends that childrestraint systems be installed on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, chil- dren are safer when properly restrained inrear seating positions than in front seating positions.
If you must use a front-facing child restraint in the front passenger’s seat, adjust the passenger’s seat as far back as possible.
NOTE: Observe any statutory regulation aboutchild restraints.

If your vehicle is equipped with afront passenger air bag, do not installa rear-facing child restraint in the front passenger’s seat. If the passen- ger’s air bag inflates, a child in a rear-facing child restraint could be killed or seriously injured. The back of a rear-facing child restraint would betoo close to the inflating air bag.
WA R N I N G
If you install a child restraint system in the rear seat, slide the front seat farenough forward so that the child’s feet do not touch the front seatback. This will help avoid injury to the child in theevent of an accident.
