Servicing the airbag system
If the airbags inflate, have the airbags and
related components replaced by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
If your vehicle ever gets in deep water and
the driver's floor is submerged, the airbag
controller could be damaged. If this hap-
pens, ask an authorized SUZUKI dealer to
check the airbag system as soon as possi-
ble.
Special procedures are required for servic-
ing or replacing an airbag. For that reason,
only an authorized SUZUKI dealer should
be allowed to service or replace your air-
bags. Remind anyone who services your
SUZUKI vehicle that it has airbags.
Service on or around airbag components
or wiring must be performed only by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer. Improper ser-
vice could result in unintended airbag
deployment or could render the airbag
inoperative. Either of these two conditions
may result in severe injury.
To prevent damage or unintended inflation
of the airbag system, check that the lead-
acid battery is disconnected and the igni-
tion switch has been in "LOCK" position or
the ignition mode has been LOCK (OFF)
for at least 90 seconds before performing
any electrical service work on your
SUZUKI vehicle. Do not touch airbag sys-
tem components or wires. The wires are
wrapped with yellow tape or yellow tubing,
and the couplers are yellow for easy identi-
fication.
Scrapping a vehicle that has an uninflated
airbag can be hazardous. Ask an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer, body repair shop or
scrap yard for help with disposal.
Front passenger airbag deactiva-
tion system (if equipped)
EXAMPLE
(2)
(1)
The front passenger's front airbag must be
deactivated if a child restraint system is to
be installed on the front passenger's seat.
When the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to ON, "PAS-
SENGER AIRBAG ON" indicator (1) or
"PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF" indicator (2)
shows whether the front passenger's air-
bag is activated or deactivated.
When the front passenger's airbag is acti-
vated, both "PASSENGER AIRBAG ON"
indicator (1) and "PASSENGER AIRBAG
OFF" indicator (2) come on for a few sec-
onds and then go out.
After that, only "PASSENGER AIRBAG
ON" indicator (1) comes on for about 1
minute and then goes out.
When the front passenger's airbag is deac-
tivated, both "PASSENGER AIRBAG ON"
indicator (1) and "PASSENGER AIRBAG
OFF" indicator (2) come on for a few sec-
onds and then go out.
After that, only "PASSENGER AIRBAG
OFF" indicator (2) comes on.
When you activate or deactivate the front
passenger's airbag, check which indicator
is on before starting the engine.
Side airbags, side curtain airbags and seat
belt pretensioners are not connected to the
airbag deactivation system. Even if the
front passenger's airbag is deactivated,
side airbags, side curtain airbags and seat
belt pretensioners are still activated.
