EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
If the air bag stored place is damaged
or cracked, the air bag system may
not work properly, which could result
in serious injury in the event of a
crash. Have your vehicle inspected
by an authorized SUZUKI dealer.EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
(Vehicle without the front passenger
air bag deactivation system)
Do not install a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger’s
seat. If the passenger’s front air bag
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 air bag.

Side air bags and side curtain air bags (if equipped)
68KM090
Side air bags and side curtain air bags are
designed to inflate in severe side impact
crashes when the ignition switch is in “ON”
position or the ignition mode is ON.
Side air bags and side curtain air bags are
not designed to inflate in frontal or rear
crashes, rollovers or minor side crashes,
since they would offer no protection in
those types of accidents. Only the side air
bag and side curtain air bag on the side of
the vehicle that is struck will inflate. How-
ever, in a frontal angle crash, the side air
bags and side curtain air bags may inflate.
Since an air bag deploys only one time
during an accident, seat belts are needed to restrain occupants from further move-
ments during the accident.
Therefore, an air bag 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 o
ccur in an accident.
Side air bags (if equipped)
75RM107
Side air bags 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 air bags. Side curtain air bags (if equipped)
75RM041
Side curtain air bags are located in the roof
lining. The words “SRS AIRBAG” are
molded into the pillar to identify the loca-
tion of the side curtain air bags.

How the system worksIn a frontal crash, the crash sensors will
detect rapid deceleration, and if the con-
troller judges that the deceleration rep-
resents a severe frontal crash, the
controller will trigger the inflators. If your
vehicle is equipped with side air bags and
side curtain air bags, crash sensors will
detect a side crash, and if the controller
judges that the side crash is severe
enough, it will trigger the side air bag and
side curtain air bag inflators. The inflators
inflate the appropriate air bags with nitro-
gen or argon gas. The inflated air bags
provide a cushion for your head (front air
bags and side curtain air bags only) and
upper body. The air bag inflates and
deflates so quickly that you may not even
realize that it has activated. The air bag will
neither hinder your view nor make it harder
to exit the vehicle.
Air bags must inflate quickly and forcefully
in order to reduce the chance of serious or
fatal injuries. However, an unavoidable
consequence of the quick inflation is that
the air bag may irritate bare skin, such as
the facial area against a front air bag.
Wash off any residue as soon as possible
to prevent skin irritation. Also, upon infla-
tion, a loud noise will occur and some pow-
der and smoke will be released. These
conditions are not harmful and do not indi-
cate a fire in the vehicle. Be aware, how-ever, that some air bag components may
be hot for a while after inflation.
A seat belt helps keep you in the proper
position for maximum protection when an
air bag inflates. Adjust your seat as far
back as possible while still maintaining
control of the vehicle. Sit fully back in your
seat; sit up straight; do not lean over the
steering wheel or dashboard. Front occu-
pants should not lean on or sleep against
the door. Refer to “Seat adjustment” sec-
tion and “Seat belts and child restraint sys-
tems” section in this
section for details on
proper seat and seat belt adjustments.

switch is turned to “ON” position or
the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to ON,
stays on for more than 10 seconds,
or comes on while driving, the air bag
system or the seat belt pretensioner
system may not work properly, which
could result in serious injury in the
event of a crash. Have both systems
inspected by an authorized SUZUKI
dealer.

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
75RM4-01E
NOTE:
It is normal for water to drip from the air
conditioning system after use.
4) Check that the hood is fully closed andlatched.
5) Check the headlights, turn signal lights, brake lights and horn for proper opera-
tion.
6) Adjust the seat and head restraint.
7) Check the brake pedal and the parking brake lever.
8) Adjust the mirrors.
9) Check that you and all passengers have properly fastened your seat belts.
10)Check that all warning lights come on as the ignition switch is turned to “ON”
position or the engine switch is pressed
to change the ignition mode to ON.
11)Check all gauges.
12)Check that the brake system warning light turns off when the parking brake is
released.
Once a week, or each time you fill your fuel
tank, perform the following under-hood
checks:
1) Engine oil level
2) Coolant level
3) Brake fluid level
4) Lead-acid battery solution level
5) Windshield washer fluid level
6) Hood latch operation Pull the hood release handle inside the
vehicle. Check that you cannot open the hood all the way without releasing
the secondary latch. Close the hood
securely after checking for proper latch
operation. See the item “All latches,
hinges and locks” of “Chassis, body
and others” in “Maintenance schedule”
in the “INSPECTION AND MAINTE-
NANCE” section for lubrication sched-
ule.
Once a month, or each time you fill your
fuel tank, check the tire pressure using a
tire pressure gauge. Also check the tire
pressure of the spare tire.
Engine oil consumptionIt is normal for the engine to consume
some engine oil during normal vehicle
operation.
The amount of engine oil consumption
depends on viscosity and quality of the oil
and your driving conditions.
More oil is consumed during high-speed
driving and when there is frequent acceler-
ation and deceleration. Under high loads,
your engine also will consume more oil.
A new engine also consumes more oil,
since its pistons, piston rings and cylinder
walls have not yet become conditioned.
New engines reach the normal level of oil
consumption only after approximately
5000 km (3000 miles) driving.
Oil consumption:
Max. 1.0 L per 1000 km
(1 Qt. per 600 miles)
When judging the amount of oil consump-
tion, note that the oil may become diluted
and it is difficult to judge the accurate oil
level.
As an example, if a vehicle is used for
repeated short trips, and consumes a nor-
mal amount of oil, the dipstick may not
show any drop in the oil level at all, even
after 1000 km (600 miles) or more of driv-
ing. This is because the oil gradually
becomes diluted with fuel or moisture,
WA R N I N G
Check that the hood is fully closed
and latched before d riving. If it is not,
it can fly up unexpectedly during
driving, obstructing your view and
resulting in an accident.

Canceling speed limiter• To cancel the speed limiter, push “CAN-CEL” switch (2). The set indicator (5) will
go off.
• To resume the previously set speed, push up the “RES +/SET –” switch (3)
and turn on the set indicator (5).
To turn off the speed limiter system, push
“LIMIT” switch (1) and check that limit indi-
cator (4) is off.
Also, you can turn off the speed limiter by
turning off the engine.
NOTE:
If you turn off the speed limiter system, the
previously set speed in the memory is
cleared. Set your speed again.
Dual camera brake support (if equipped)Dual camera brake support is a system
that detects obstacles or partition lines in
front of your vehicle by the stereo camera,
attempts to avoid a crash by giving warn-
ing to the driver, and attempts to reduce
damage in the event of a crash. NOTE:
• While the system is working, if a vehicle
in front of you moves outside of the ste-
reo camera’s detection field or the vehi-
cle can no longer be detected, the
system may stop functioning.
• While the system is working, a braking sound may be heard even if you do not
depress the brake pedal, but this is nor-
mal.
WA R N I N G
• Dual camera brake support has lim-its and may not function properly
depending on the driving condi-
tions. Do not rely excessively on
the system and always drive in a
safe manner.
• For safety reasons, do not check the operation of the system by
yourself.
• Check that all passengers fasten their seat belts when the vehicle is
being operated.
When the system is activated, there
is a risk of serious injury from
being thrown.

Catalytic converter
80G106
The purpose of the catalytic converter is to
minimize the amount of harmful pollutants
in your vehicle’s exhaust. Use of leaded
fuel in vehicles equipped with catalytic
converters is prohibited, because lead
deactivates the pollutant-reducing compo-
nents of the catalyst system.
The converter is designed to last the life of
the vehicle under normal usage and when
unleaded fuel is used. No special mainte-
nance is required on the converter. How-
ever, it is very important to keep the engine
properly tuned. Engine misfiring, which can
result from an improperly tuned engine,
may cause overheating of the catalytic
converter. This may result in permanent
WA R N I N G
• Fasten your seat belts at all times.Even though air bags are equipped
at the front seating positions, the
driver and all passengers should
be properly restrained at all times,
using the seat belts provided. Refer
to “Seat belts and child restraint
systems” section for instructions
on proper use of the seat belts.
• Never drive under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs. Alcohol and
drugs can seriously impair your
ability to drive safely, greatly
increasing the risk of injury to
yourself and others. You should
also avoid driving when you are
tired, sick, irritated or under stress.
NOTICE
The future performance and reliabil-
ity of the engine depends on the care
and restraint exercised during its
early life. It is especially important to
observe the following precautions
during the first 960 km (600 miles) of
vehicle operation.
•After starting, do not race theengine. Warm it up gradually.
• Avoid prolonged vehicle operation at a constant speed. Moving parts
will break in better if you vary your
speed.
• Start off from a stop slowly. Avoid full throttle starts.
• Avoid hard braking, especially during the first 320 km (200 miles)
of driving.
• Do not drive slowly with the trans- axle in a high gear.
• Drive the vehicle at moderate
engine speeds.
• Do not tow a trailer during the first 960 km (600 miles) of vehicle oper-
ation.
