Page 35: Seat Belts And Child Restraint Systems
NOTE: It may be necessary to recline the seat- back to provide enough overhead clear- ance to remove the head restraint. Seat Belts and Child Restraint Systems 65D231 WARNING An air bag supplements, or adds to, the frontal crash protection offered by seat belts.
Page 36 BEFORE DRIVING Across the pelvis 65D201 WARNING (Continued) • Seat belts should never be worn with the straps twisted and should be adjusted as tightly as is com- fortable to provide the protection for which they have been designed. A slack belt will provide less pro- tection than one which is snug.
Page 37 WARNING (Continued) • Infants and small children should never be transported unless they are properly restrained. Restraint systems for infants and small chil- dren can be purchased commer- cially and should be used. Make sure that the system you purchase meets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

Page 42: Seat Belt Inspection
BEFORE DRIVING Seat Belt Inspection EXAMPLE 65D209S Periodically inspect the seat belts to make sure they work properly and are not dam- aged. Check the webbing, buckles, latch plates, retractors, anchorages and guide loops. Replace any seat belts which do not work properly or are damaged.
Page 43 EXAMPLE 80JC007 Booster seat EXAMPLE 80JC008 SUZUKI highly recommends that you use a child restraint system to restrain infants and small children. Many different types of child restraint systems are available; make sure that the restraint system you select meets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan- dards.
Page 44 BEFORE DRIVING 65D608 65D609 2-31 WARNING Children could be endangered in a crash if their child restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle. When installing a child restraint sys- tem, be sure to follow the instruc- tions below. Be sure to secure the child in the restraint system accord- ing to the manufacturer’s instruc- tions.
Page 45 EXAMPLE 83E035 1) Pull all of the remaining webbing out of the retractor. You will hear a click, which means that the emergency locking retractor (ELR) has converted to func- tion as an automatic locking retractor (ALR). EXAMPLE 83E032 2) Allow the extra webbing to retract, and pull the webbing toward the retractor to take up any slack.
Page 46 BEFORE DRIVING WARNING Before installing a child restraint in the rear center seat, follow these steps for secure installation: • Make sure the detachable connec- tor is securely latched and the web- bing is not twisted. • Make sure the seat belt is passed through the seat belt guide.
