Seat Belts and Child Restraint Systems: 3
BEFORE DRIVING
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 applicable safety standards.
All child restraint systems are designed to
be secured in vehicle seats by either seat
belts (lap belts or the lap portion of lap-
shoulder belts) or by special rigid lower
anchor bars built into the seat. Whenever
possible, SUZUKI recommends that child
restraint systems be installed on the rear
seat. According to accident statistics, chil-
dren are safer when properly restrained in
rear seating positions than in front seating
positions.
If you must use a front-facing child restraint
in the front passenger's seat, adjust the
passenger's seat as far back as possible.
NOTE:
Observe any statutory regulation about
child restraints.

WARNING
If your vehicle is equipped with a
front passenger front air bag, do not
install a rear-facing child restraint in
the front passenger's seat. If the pas-
senger's air bag inflates, a child in a
rear-facing child restraint could be
killed or seriously injured. The back
of a rear-facing child restraint would
be too close to the inflating air bag.
WARNING
If you install a child restraint system
in the rear seat, slide the front seat
for enough forward so that the child's
feet do not contact the front seat-
back. This will help avoid injury to
the child in the event of an accident.
