SERVICE PRECAUTION
D WARNING/CAUTION labels are attached on each part of air bag system components (SDM, air bag (inflator)
module(s) and seat belt pretensioners (if equipped)). Be sure to follow the instructions.
WARNING:
D If the air bag system and another vehicle system both need repair, Suzuki recommends that the air
bag system be repaired first, to help avoid unintended air bag system activation.
D Do not modify the steering wheel, dashboard, or any other air bag system component. Modifica-
tions can adversely affect air bag system performance and lead to injury.
D Failure to follow procedures could result in possible air bag activation, personal injury or unneeded
air bag system repairs.
D Many of the service procedures require disconnection of the "AIR BAG" fuse and all air bag (inflator) module(s)
(driver and passenger) from the initiator circuit to avoid an accidental deployment.
D Never use air bag component parts from another vehicle.
D If the vehicle will be exposed to temperatures over 93_C (200_F) (for example, during a paint baking process),
remove the air bag system components.
D When servicing, if shocks may be applied to air bag system component parts, remove those parts beforehand.
WARNING:
When performing service on or around air bag system components or air bag system wiring, follow
the procedures listed below to temporarily disable the air bag system. Failure to follow procedures
could result in possible air bag deployment, personal injury or unneeded air bag system repairs.
ii) Release locking of lock lever.
ii) After unlocked, disconnect the connector.
