Supplemental Restraint System (Air Bags) (If Equipped) - Suzuki Jimny Owner's Manual

BEFORE DRIVING
Sit fully back in the seat; sit up straight; do
not lean forward or sideways. Adjust the
belt so the lap portion of the belt is worn
low across the pelvis, not across the waist.
Please refer to the "Seat Adjustment" sec-
tion and the instructions and precautions
about the seat belts in this "Seat Belts and
Child Restraint Systems" section for details
on proper seat and seat belt adjustments.
Please note that the pretensioners along
with the air bags will activate in severe
frontal collisions. They are not designed to
activate in rear impacts, side impacts, roll-
overs, or minor frontal collisions. The pre-
tensioners can be activated only once. If
the pretensioners are activated (that is, if
the air bags are activated), have the pre-
tensioner system serviced by an autho-
rized 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.
1-27
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.
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 electri-
cal 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.
