FOR SAFE DRIVING
Side airbags and side curtain air-
bags
Side airbags and side curtain airbags are
designed to inflate in severe side impact
collisions when the ignition switch is in
"ON" position.
Side airbags and side curtain airbags are
not designed to inflate in frontal or rear col-
lisions, rollovers or minor side collisions,
since they would offer no protection in
those types of accidents. Only the side air-
bag and side curtain airbag on the side of
the vehicle that is struck will inflate. How-
ever, in a frontal angle collision, the side
airbags and side curtain airbags may
inflate. Since an airbag deploys only one
time during an accident, seat belts are
needed to restrain occupants from further
movements during the accident.

Therefore, an airbag 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.
Side airbags
68KM090
Side airbags 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 airbags.
Side curtain airbags
Side curtain airbags are located in the roof
lining. The words "SRS AIRBAG" are
molded into the pillar to identify the loca-
tion of the side curtain airbags.

WARNING
If the airbag stored place is damaged
or cracked, the airbag system may
not work properly, which could result
in serious injury in the event of a col-
lision. Have your vehicle inspected
by a SUZUKI dealer.
