WARNING
This section of the owner's manual
describes your SUZUKI's SEAT BELT
PRETENSIONER SYSTEM.
read and follow ALL these instruc-
tions carefully to minimize your risk
of severe injury or death.
Your vehicle is equipped with a seat belt
pretensioner system at the front seating
positions. You can use the pretensioner
seat belts in the same manner as ordinary
seat belts.
The seat belt pretensioner system works
with the SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM (advanced air bags). The crash
sensors and the electronic controller of the
air bag system also control the seat belt
pretensioners. The pretensioners are trig-
gered only when there is a frontal or side
crash severe enough to trigger the air bags
and the seat belts are fastened. If the seat
EXAMPLE belts are not fastened, the respective pre-
tensioner system will not be activated. For
52D011
precautions and
including servicing the pretensioner sys-
tem, refer to the "Supplemental Restraint
System (air bags)" section in addition to
this "Seat Belt Pretensioner System" sec-
tion, and follow all those precautions.
Please
The pretensioner is located in each front
seat belt retractor. The pretensioner tight-
ens the seat belt so the belt fits the occu-
pant's body more snugly in the event of a
frontal or side crash. The retractors will
remain locked after the pretensioners are
activated. Upon activation, some noise will
occur and some smoke may be released.
These conditions are not harmful and do
not indicate a fire in the vehicle.
