BEFORE DRIVING
tions and precautions about the seat belts
in this "Seat Belts and Child Restraint Sys-
tems" section for details on proper seat
and seat belt adjustments.
Please note that the pretensioners along
with the front air bags will activate only in
severe frontal collisions. They are not
designed to activate in rear impacts, side
impacts, rollovers or minor frontal colli-
sions. The pretensioners can be activated
only once. If the pretensioners are acti-
vated (that is, if the front air bags are acti-
vated), have the pretensioner system
serviced by an authorized SUZUKI dealer
as soon as possible.
If the "AIR BAG" light on the instrument
cluster does not blink or come on briefly
when the ignition switch is turned to the
"ON" position, stays on for more than 10
seconds, or comes on while driving, the
pretensioner system or the air bag system
may not work properly. Have both systems
inspected by an authorized SUZUKI dealer
as soon as possible.
Service on or around the pretensioner sys-
tem components or wiring must be per-
formed only by an authorized SUZUKI
dealer who is specially trained. Improper
service could result in unintended activa-
tion of pretensioners or could render the
pretensioner inoperative. Either of these
two conditions may result in personal
injury.
2-37
To prevent damage or unintended activa-
tion of the pretensioners, be sure the bat-
tery is disconnected and the ignition switch
has been in the "LOCK" position for at
least 90 seconds before performing any
electrical service work on your SUZUKI.
Do not touch pretensioner system compo-
nents or wiring. The wires are wrapped
with yellow tape or yellow tubing, and the
couplers are yellow. When scrapping your
SUZUKI, ask your SUZUKI dealer, body
repair shop or scrap yard for assistance.
