the lock switch by pushing it again.
NOTE:
If you drive with one of the rear windows
open, you may hear a loud sound caused
by air vibration. To reduce the sound, open
the driver’s or front passenger’s window, or
narrow the rear window opening.
Pinching prevention function (if equipped)If the driver’s window has the AUTO-UP
feature, the driver’s window is also
equipped with the pinching prevention
function. This function detects a foreign
object that is caught in the window as it is
being closed by AUTO-UP feature, which
allows you to close the window without
holding the window switch in UP position,
and stops the window from closing to pre-
vent damage. NOTE:
Even if you cannot close the window by the
AUTO-UP feature because there may be
something wrong with the pinching preven-
tion function, you can close the window by
holding the window switch in UP position.
If you drive in extreme off-road condition,
the pinching prevention function may oper-
ate accidentally because the window
reacts to vehicle jolting.
Pinching prevention function initializa-
tion
When you disconnect and reconnect the
lead-acid battery or replace the fuse, the
function will be deactivated. In this condi-
tion, the AUTO-DOWN feature will be
deactivated, while the AUTO-UP feature
may remain activated. The pinching pre-
vention function needs to be initialized.

• You should always lock the pas-
senger’s window operation when
there are children in the vehicle.
Children can be seriously injured if
they get part of their body caught
by the window during operation.
• To avoid injuring an occupant by window entrapment, check that no
part of the occupant’s body such as
hands or head is in the path of the
electric windows when closing
them.
• Always remove the ignition key or
take the keyless push start system
remote controller with you when
leaving the vehicle even only for a
short time. Also do not leave chil-
dren alone in a parked vehicle.
Unattended children could use the
electric window switches and get
trapped by the window.
WA R N I N G
To avoid injuring an occupant by win-
dow entrapment, check that no part
of the occupant’s body such as
hands or head is in the path of the

This function may not detect an
object due to the size, hardness, or
position of the object being caught in
the closing window.
CAUTION
• The pinching prevention functiondoes not operate while you are
holding the window switch in UP
position.
• The pinching prevention function
may not detect an object caught in

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.
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.
