WARNING
(Continued)
• Do not strike or apply significant
levels of impact to the airbag com-
ponent areas. It can cause the air-
bags to malfunction.
• Even though your vehicle is dam-
aged by a collision, it may not be
severe enough to trigger front, side
or side curtain airbags to inflate. If
your vehicle sustains any front-end
or side damage, have the airbag
system inspected by Maruti Suzuki
authorized workshop to ensure that
it works properly. If the original
function of air bag system is dam-
aged, air bag may not function
effectively and fully in case of an
emergency.
CAUTION
Airbags must inflate quickly and
forcefully in order to reduce the
chance of serious or fatal injuries.
However, an unavoidable conse-
quence of the quick inflation is that
the airbag may irritate bare skin,
such as the facial area against a front
airbag. Wash off any residue as soon
as possible to prevent skin irritation.
Also, upon inflation, a loud noise will
occur and some powder and smoke
will be released. These conditions
are not harmful and do not indicate a
fire in the vehicle. Be aware, however,
that some airbag components may be
hot for a while after inflation.
This may cause burn injury.
Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnostic
module which records information about
the airbag system if the airbags deploy in a
collision. The module records information
about overall system status, and which
sensors activated the deployment.
FOR SAFE DRIVING
Servicing the airbag system
If the airbags inflate, have the airbags and
related components replaced by Maruti
Suzuki authorized workshop 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 Maruti Suzuki authorized work-
shop to check the airbag system as soon
as possible.
Special procedures are required for servic-
ing or replacing an airbag. For that reason,
only Maruti Suzuki authorized workshop
should be allowed to service or replace
your airbags. Remind anyone who ser-
vices your Maruti Suzuki vehicle that it has
airbags.
Service on or around airbag components
or wiring must be performed only by Maruti
Suzuki authorized workshop. Improper
service 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 bat-
tery is disconnected and the ignition switch
has been in "LOCK" position or the ignition
mode has been in LOCK (OFF) for at least
90 seconds before performing any electri-
cal service work on your Maruti Suzuki
vehicle. Do not touch airbag system com-
ponents or wires. The wires are wrapped
with yellow tape or yellow tubing, and the
couplers are yellow for easy identification.
