A WARNING
Improperly using the seat heater can be hazardous. An occupant can suf­fer burns even if the heating tempera­ture is fairly low, if the occupant is wearing thin pants, a thin skirt or shorts and leaves the heater on for long periods. Avoid using the seat heater for these occupants: People who have reduced feeling in their legs, including the elderly or those with certain disabilities. • Small children, or anyone with sen­sitive skin. • People who are asleep or under the influence of alcohol or other drugs which make them tired.

NOTICE
To avoid damaging the heater ele­ment: • Do not subject the front seats to heavy impacts, such as children jumping on them. Do not cover the seat with any insulating materials such as blan­kets or cushions.
Rear seats
Head restraints (if equipped)
Head restraints are designed to help reduce the risk of neck injuries in the case of an accident.
A WARNING
Never drive the vehicle with the head restraints removed. Do not attempt to adjust the head restraint while driving.
NOTE: It may be necessary to fold forward the seatback to provide enough overhead clearance to remove the head restraint.
Adjust the head restraint to the position which places the center of the head restraint closest to the top of your ears. If this is not possible for very tall passengers, adjust the head restraint as high as possi­ble.

To raise the rear head restraint, pull upward the head restraint until it clicks. To lower the head restraint, push down the head restraint while holding in the lock lever. If a head restraint must be removed (for cleaning, replacement, etc.), push in the lock lever and pull the head restraint all the way out.
When installing a child restraint system, adjust the height of the head restraint or remove it for fitting the child restraint, as necessary.
Folding rear seats
A CAUTION
Remove objects from the rear seats before folding the rear seats. There may be a case that the rear seat belt reminder (if equipped) will not be activated, if objects are remained on the rear seats.
The rear seats of your vehicle can be folded forward to provide additional cargo space.
To fold the rear seats forward:
1) Lower the head restraint (if equipped) fully.
2) Hook the webbing of the outboard lap­shoulder belts in the belt hangers.
FOR SAFE DRIVING
NOTICE
Make sure the belt webbing is not twisted. • When you move a seatback, make sure the belt webbing is hooked in the seat belt hangers so the seat belts are not caught by the seat­back, seat hinge, or seat latch. This helps prevent damage to the belt system.

Seat belts and child restraint
systems
650231S
A. WARNING
An airbag supplements or adds to the frontal collision protection offered by seat belts. The driver and all passen­gers must be properly restrained by fastening seat belts at all times, whether or not an airbag is mounted at their seating position, to minimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a collision.

FOR SAFE DRIVING
A. WARNING
(Continued) Pregnant women should use seat belts, although specific recommen­dations about driving should be made by the woman's medical advi• sor. Remember that the lap portion of the belt should be worn as low as possible across the hips, as shown in the illustration. Do not fasten your seat belt over hard or breakable objects in your pockets or on your clothing. If an accident occurs, objects such as glasses, pens, etc. under the seat belt can cause injury. (Continued)
1-9
A. WARNING
(Continued) • Never use the same seat belt for more than one occupant and never attach a seat belt over an infant or child being held on an occupant's lap. Such seat belt use could cause serious injury in the event of an accident. Periodically inspect seat belt assemblies for excessive wear and damage. Seat belts should be replaced if webbing becomes frayed, contaminated or damaged in any way. It is essential to replace the entire seat belt assembly after it has been worn in a severe impact, even if damage to the assembly is not obvious. Children aged 12 and under should ride properly restrained in the rear seat. Infants and small children should never be transported unless they are properly restrained. Restraint systems for infants and small chil• dren can be purchased locally and should be used. Check that the system you purchase meets appli• cable safety standards. Read and follow all the directions provided by the manufacturer. (Continued)
A. WARNING
(Continued) For child, if the seat belt irritates the neck or face, use a child restraint system appropriately for the child. The seat belts of your vehicle are principally designed for persons of adult size. Avoid contamination of seat belt webbing by polishes, oils, chemi• cals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning may safely be carried out using mild soap and water. • Do not insert any items such as coins and clips into the seat belt buckles, and be careful not to spill liquids into these parts. If foreign materials get into a seat belt buckle, the seat belt may not work properly. 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 posi•
tion.

Driver's seat belt reminder If the driver's seat belt remains unbuckled when the ignition switch is turned to "ON" position, the reminder works as follows: 1) The driver's seat belt reminder light will come on. The front passenger's seat
belt reminder light will also come on if a front passenger does not fasten his/her seat belt. 2) After the vehicle's speed has reached about 15 km/h, the driver's seat belt reminder light will blink and a buzzer will sound for about 95 seconds. 3) The reminder light will remain on until the driver's seat belt is buckled. If the driver has buckled his or her seat belt and later unbuckles the seat belt, the reminder system will be activated from Step 1) or 2) according to the vehicle's speed. 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.

SUZUKI highly recommends that you use a child restraint system to restrain infants and small children. Many different types of child restraint systems are available; check
FOR SAFE DRIVING
that the restraint system you select meets applicable safety standards.
All child restraint systems are designed to be secured in vehicle seats either by seat belts (lap belts or the lap portion of lap­shoulder belts) or by special rigid lower anchor bars built onto the floor. Whenever possible, SUZUKI recommends that child restraint systems be installed on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, chil­dren are safer when properly restrained in rear seating positions than in front seating positions.
(For countries applied for UN Regula­tion No.16) When purchasing a child restraint and install it to your SUZUKI vehicle, refer to the information about suitability for child restraints shown in "Child restraint system for countries applied for UN Regulation No.16" in this section.
NOTE: Observe any statutory regulation about child restraints.

A WARNING
(Vehicle without the front passenger airbag deactivation system) Do not install a rear-facing child restraint in the front passenger's seat. If the passenger's front airbag 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 airbag.
1-19
A WARNING
(Vehicle with the front passenger air­bag deactivation system) When using a child restraint system on the front passenger's seat, the front passenger's airbag system must be deactivated; otherwise deployment of the front passenger's airbag could result in the death or serious injury of the child.
A WARNING
If you install a child restraint system in the rear seat, slide the front seat far enough forward so that the child's feet do not touch the front seatback. This will help avoid injury to the child in the event of an accident.
