WARNING
• The driver should not lean over the
steering wheel. The front passenger
should not rest his or her body
against the dashboard, or otherwise
get too close to the dashboard. In
these situations, the out-of-position
occupant would be too close to an
inflating air bag, and may suffer
severe injury.
• Do not attach any objects to, or place
any objects over, the steering wheel
or dashboard. Do not place any
objects between the air bag and the
65D610
driver or front passenger. These
objects may interfere with air bag
operation or may be propelled by the
air bag in the event of a crash. Either
of these conditions may cause severe
injury.
Note that even though your vehicle may be
moderately damaged in a collision, the colli-
sion may not have been severe enough to
trigger the air bags to inflate. If your car sus-
tains any front-end damage, have the air bag
system inspected by an MARUTI SUZUKI
authorized dealer to ensure it is in proper
working order.
Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnostic
54G582
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, which sensors acti-
vated the deployment.
BEFORE DRIVING
Servicing the air bag system
If the air bags inflate, have the air bags and
related components replaced by a MARUTI
SUZUKI authorized dealer as soon as possi-
ble.
If your vehicle ever gets in deep water, the air
bag controller could be damaged. If it does,
have the air bag system inspected by the
MARUTI SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
Special procedures are required for servicing
or replacing an air bag. For that reason, only
a MARUTI SUZUKI authorized dealer should
be allowed to service or replace your air
bags. Please remind anyone who services
your vehicle that it has air bags.
Service on or around air bag components or
wiring must be performed only by a MARUTI
SUZUKI authorized dealer. Improper service
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, be sure the battery is dis-
connected and the ignition switch has been in
the "LOCK" position for at least 90 seconds
before performing any electrical service work
on your vehicle. Do not touch air bag system
components or wires. The wires are wrapped
with yellow tape or yellow tubing, and the
couplers are yellow for easy identification.
Scrapping a car that has an uninflated air bag
can be hazardous. Ask your MARUTI
SUZUKI dealer, body repair shop or scrap
yard for help with disposal.
