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)

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.

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.

Jump-starting instructions
A. WARNING
Never attempt to jump-start your vehicle if the lead-acid battery appears to be frozen. Batteries in this condition may explode. When making jump lead connections, check that your hands and the jump leads remain clear from pulleys, belts or fans. Lead-acid batteries produce flammable hydrogen gas. Keep flames and sparks away from the battery or an explosion may occur. Never smoke when working near the battery. If the booster battery you use for jump-starting is installed in another vehicle, check that the two vehicles are not touching each other. If your lead-acid battery discharges repeatedly, for no apparent reason, have your vehicle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer. • To avoid harm to yourself or damage to your vehicle or battery, follow the jump-starting instructions below. If you are in doubt, call for qualified road service.
NOTICE
Your vehicle should not be started by pushing or towing. This starting method could result in permanent damage to the catalytic converter. Use jump leads to start a vehicle with a weak or flat battery.
1) Use only a 12-volt lead-acid battery to jump-start your vehicle. Position the good 12-volt lead-acid battery close to your vehicle so that the jump leads will reach both batteries. When using a battery installed on another vehicle, check that two vehicles do not touch each other. Set the parking brakes fully on both vehicles. 2) Turn off all vehicle accessories, except those necessary for safety reasons (for example, headlights or hazard lights).
