2022 SUZUKI IGNIS before driving

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.

AIR BAG light
63J030
If AIR BAG light on the instrument cluster
does not blink or come on when the igni-
tion switch is first turned to “ON” position,
or the ignition mode is first changed to ON,
or AIR BAG light stays on, or comes on
while driving, the air bag system (or the
seat belt pretensioner system) may not
work properly. Have the air bag system
inspected by an authorized SUZUKI dealer
as soon as possible. Air bag symbol meaning

You may find this label on the sun visor.
NOTE:
For the label of Taiwan models, refer to
“For Taiwan” in the “SUPPLEMENT” sec-
tion.
Front air bags
63J259
Front air bags are designed to inflate in
severe frontal crashes when the ignition
switch is in “ON” position or the ignition
mode is ON.
NOTE:
In a frontal angle crash, the side air bags (if
equipped) and side curtain air bags (if
equipped) may inflate.
Front air bags are not designed to inflate in
rear impacts, side impacts, rollovers or
minor frontal crashes, since they would
offer no protection in
those types of acci-
dents. Since an air bag deploys only one
time during an accident, seat belts are
needed to restrain occupants from further
movements during the accident.
WA R N I N G
An air bag supplements or adds to
the crash protectio n offered by seat
belts. The driver and all passengers
must be properly restrained by fas-
tening seat belts at all times, whether
or not an air bag is mounted at their
seating position, to minimize the risk
of severe injury or death in the event
of a crash.
WA R N I N G
NEVER use a rearward facing child
restraint on a seat protected by an
ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH
or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD
can occur.EXAMPLE

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 occur in an accident.
Driver’s front air bag
81P30640
Front passenger’ s front air bag
75RM106
The driver’s front air bag is located behind
the center pad of the steering wheel and
the front passenger’s front air bag is
located behind the passenger’s side of the
dashboard.
The words “SRS AIRBAG” are molded into
the air bag covers to identify the location of
the air bags.

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.

Refer to “Seat belts and child restraint sys-
tems” section for details on securing your
child. Conditions of front
air bags deployment

WA R N I N G
(Vehicle with the front passenger air

passenger’s air bag system must be
deactivated; otherwise deployment of
the front passenger’s air bag could
result in the death or serious injury of
the child.

The front air bags may not inflate when a
strong impact has not occurred since the
crash object was easy to be deformed or
moved, or the crashed portion of your vehi-
cle was easy to be deformed.
Also, front air bags may not inflate in many
cases when the crash angle is greater than
about 30 degrees at left and right angles
from the front of your vehicle.

than about 50 km/h (30 mph)

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.
