Suzuki SY413 Service Manual page 2422

DESCRIPTION
All seat belts (for driver's and passenger's seat) are provided with an Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR). and
some seat belts for driver's and passenger's seat are provided with a pretensioner as an optional function unit.
ELR:Locks the seat belt (to prevent the webbing from being pulled out of the retractor any further) as soon as any
one of the following specified conditions is detected.
The conditions are the speed at which the webbing is pulled out of the retractor, acceleration or deceleration
of the vehicle speed and inclination.
Pretensioner: it operates in linkage with air bag system in addition to the above described ELR. The pretensioner
takes up the sag of the seat belt in occurrence of a front collision with a impact larger than a certain
set value, there by enhancing restraint performance.
For more information, refer to SECTION 9J "Air Bag System."
WARNING:
If replacing seat belt is necessary, replace buckle and ELR (or webbing) together as a set. This is for
the reason of ensuring locking of tongue plate with buckle.
If these parts are replaced individually, such a locking condition may become unreliable. For this rea-
son, Suzuki will supply only the spare buckle and ELR (or webbing) in a set part.
SERVICING SEAT BELTS
Before servicing or replacing seat belts, refer to the following precautionary items.
Seat belts should be normal relative to strap retractor and buckle portions.
Keep sharp edges and damaging objects away from belts.
Avoid bending or damaging any portion of belt buckle or latch plate.
Do not bleach or dye belt webbing. (Use only mild soap and lukewarm water to clean it.)
When installing a seat belt anchor bolt and nut, start bolt and nut by hand to prevent cross-threading.
Do not attempt any repairs on retractor mechanisms or retractor covers. Replace defective assemblies with
new replacement parts.
Keep belts dry and clean at all times.
If there exist any parts in question, replace such parts.
Replace belts whose webbing is cut or otherwise damaged.
Do not put anything into trim panel opening which seat belt webbing passes through.
