FOR SAFE DRIVING
minimize the risk of severe injury or death
in the event of a collision.
Sit fully back in the seat; sit up straight; do
not lean forward or sideways. Adjust the
belt so the lap portion of the belt is worn
low across the pelvis, not across the waist.
Please refer to "Seat Adjustment" section
and the instructions and precautions about
the seat belts in this "Seat Belts and Child
Restraint Systems" section for details on
proper seat and seat belt adjustments.
Please note that the pretensioners along
with the airbags will activate in severe fron-
tal or side collisions. They are not
designed to activate in rear impacts, roll-
overs, or minor frontal side collisions. The
pretensioners can be activated only once.
If the pretensioners are activated (that is, if
the airbags are activated), have the pre-
tensioner system serviced by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
If airbag warning light on the instrument
cluster does not blink or come on briefly
when the ignition switch is turned to "ON"
position or the ignition mode is changed to
ON, stays on for more than 10 seconds, or
comes on while driving, the pretensioner
system or the airbag system may not work
properly. Have both systems inspected by
an authorized SUZUKI dealer or a qualified
workshop as soon as possible.
Service on or around the pretensioner sys-
tem components or wiring must be per-
2-29
formed only by an authorized SUZUKI
dealer or a qualified workshop who is spe-
cially trained. Improper service could result
in unintended activation of pretensioners
or could render the pretensioner inopera-
tive. Either of these two conditions may
result in personal injury.
To prevent damage or unintended activa-
tion of the pretensioners, check that the
lead-acid battery 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 per-
forming any electrical service work on your
SUZUKI vehicle.
Do not touch pretensioner system compo-
nents or wiring. The wires are wrapped
with yellow tape or yellow tubing, and the
couplers are yellow. When scrapping your
SUZUKI vehicle, ask an authorized
SUZUKI dealer, a qualified workshop,
body repair shop, or scrap yard for assis-
tance.
For Proper Operation of Seat Belt
Pretensioner System
Do not modify any parts that can affect the
functionality of the seat belt pretensioner
system. The seat belt may be retracted
unexpectedly, or it may not be properly
retracted when necessary.
Disposal and Scrapping
Seat belt pretensioners that have not been
activated must be activated according to
the predetermined procedure before dis-
posal.
WARNING
If you do not handle a pretensioner
properly for disposal, the preten-
sioner system may activate unex-
pectedly, resulting in severe injury.
When disposing of a pretensioner or
scrapping the vehicle equipped with
a pretensioner, consult an authorized
SUZUKI dealer or a qualified work-
shop.
