A. WARNING

An airbag supplements or adds to the

collision protection offered by seat

belts. The driver and all passengers

must be properly restrained by fas-

tening seat belts at all times, whether

or not an airbag is mounted at their

seating position, to minimize the risk

of severe injury or death in the event

of a collision.

Front airbags

63J259

Front airbags are designed to infiate in

severe frontal collisions when the ignition

switch is in "ON" position.

NOTE:

In a frontal angle collision, the side airbags

and side cwtain airbags may inflate.

Front airbags are not designed to infiate in

rear impacts, side impacts, rollovers or

minor frontal collisions, since they would

offer no protection in those types of acci-

dents. Since an airbag deploys only one

time during an accident, seat belts are

needed to restrain occupants from further

movements during the accident.

1-37

Therefore, an airbag is not a substitute for Front passenger's front airbag

seat belts. To maximize your protection,

always fasten your seat belts. Be aware

that no system can prevent all possible

injuries that may occur in an accident.

Driver's front airbag

D

SRS AIRBAG

78RB02023

SRS AIRBAG

78RB02024

The driver's front airbag is located behind

the canter pad of the steering wheel and

the front passenger's front airbag is

located behind the passenger's side of the

dashboard.

The words "SRS AIRBAG" are melded into

the airbag covers to identify the location of

the airbags.

A WARNING

If the airbag stored place is damaged

or cracked, the airbag system may

not work properly, which could result

in serious injury in the event of a col-

lision. Have your vehicle inspected

by a SUZUKI dealer.

58MS030

.A WARNING

(Vehicle without the front passenger

airbag deactivation system)

Do not install a rear-facing child

restraint in the front passenger's

seat. If the passenger's front airbag

inflates, a child in a rear-facing child

restraint could be killed or severely

injured. The back of a rear-facing

child restraint would be too close to

the inflating airbag.

Conditions of front airbags may inflate

.A WARNING

(Vehicle with the front passenger air-

bag deactivation system)

When using child restraint system on

the front passenger's seat, the front

passenger's airbag system must be

deactivated; otherwise deployment of

the front passenger's airbag could

result in the death or serious injury of

the child.

Refer to "Seat belts and child restraint sys-

tems" section for details on securing your

child .

Side airbags and side curtain air-

bags

68KM090

Side airbags and side curtain airbags are

designed to inflate in severe side impact

collisions when the ignition switch is in

"ON" position.

Side airbags and side curtain airbags are

not designed to inflate in frontal or rear col-

lisions, rollovers or minor side collisions,

since they would offer no protection in

those types of accidents. Only the side air-

bag and side curtain airbag on the side of

the vehicle that is struck will inflate. How-

ever, in a frontal angle collision, the side

airbags and side curtain airbags may

inflate. Since an airbag deploys only one

time during an accident, seat belts are

needed to restrain occupants from further

movements during the accident.

Therefore, an airbag is not a substitute for

seat belts. To maximize your protection,

always fasten your seat belts. Be aware

that no system can prevent all possible

injuries that may occur in an accident.

Side airbags

78RB02025

Side airbags are located in the part of the

front seatbacks closest to the doors. The

"SRS AIRBAG" labels are attached to the

seatbacks to identify the location of the

side airbags.

Side curtain airbags

SRS AIRBAG

78RB02026

Side curtain airbags are located in the roof

lining. The words "SRS AIRBAG" are

melded into the pillar to identify the loca-

tion of the side curtain airbags.

A WARNING

If the airbag stored place is damaged

or cracked, the airbag system may

not work properly, which could result

in serious injury in the event of a col-

lision. Have your vehicle inspected

by a SUZUKI dealer.

80J120

• Impact from the rear

80J110

• Vehicle rollover

In a frontal collision, the crash sensors will

detect rapid deceleration, and if the con-

troller judges that the deceleration rep-

resents a severe frontal collision, the

controller will trigger the infiators. If your

vehicle is equipped with side airbags and

side curtain airbags, crash sensors will

detect a side collision, and if the controller

judges that the side collision is severe

enough, it will trigger the side airbag and

side curtain airbag infiators. The infiators

inflate the appropriate airbags with nitro-

gen or argon gas. The infiated airbags pro-

vide a cushion for your head (front airbags

and side curtain airbags only) and upper

body. The airbag inflates and defiates so

quickly that you may not even realize that it

has activated. The airbag will neither hin-

der your view nor make it harder to exit the

vehicle.

Airbags must infiate quickly and forcefully

in order to reduce the chance of serious or

fatal injuries. However, an unavoidable

consequence of the quick infiation 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 pre-

vent skin irritation. Also, upon inflation, a

loud noise will occur and some powder

and smoke will be released. These condi-

tions 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 infiation.

1-44

FOR SAFE DRIVING

A seat belt helps keep you in the proper

po_sition for maximum protection when an

airbag infiates. Adjust your seat as far

back as possible while still maintaining

control of the vehicle. Sit fully back in your

seat; sit up straight; do not lean over the

steering wheel or dashboard. Front occu-

pants should not lean on or sleep against

the door. Refer to "Seat adjustment" sec-

tion and "Seat belts and child restraint sys-

tems" section in this section for details on

proper seat and seat belt adjustments.

1-45

A WARNING

• The driver should not lean over the

steering wheel. The front passen-

ger should not rest his or her body

against the dashboard, or other-

wise get too close to the dash-

board. For vehicles with side

airbags and side curtain airbag,

occupants should not lean on or

sleep against the door. In these sit-

uations, the out-of-position occu-

pant would be too close to an

inflating airbag, and may suffer

severe injury.

• Do not attach any objects to, or

place any objects over, the steering

wheel or dashboard. Do not place

any objects between the airbag and

the driver or front passenger.

These objects may interfere with

airbag operation or may be pro-

pelled by the airbag in the event of

a collision. Also, these objects may

move when you start moving vehi-

cle or while vehicle is moving, they

may interfere with driver's view or

safe driving. In each conditions

may cause severe injury.

(Continued)

A WARNING

(Continued)

For vehicles with side airbags, do

not use non-genuine seat covers

on the front seats, because non-

genuine seat covers may obstruct

the inflation of side airbags. Suzuki

highly recommends Suzuki-genu-

ine seat covers to be used when

covering the front seats of such

vehicles with side airbags. Also,

near the door, do not place cup

holders, hangers or any other

objects and do not lean an

umbrella, as these objects could be

propelled by the airbag in the event

of a collision. Either of these condi-

tions may cause severe injury.

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 moderately

damaged 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 a

SUZUKI dealer to ensure that ii works

properly.

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, and for

a certain vehicle only, whether the driver's

seat belt was in use.

Servicing the airbag system

If the airbags inflate, have the airbags and

related components replaced by a 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 a SUZUKI dealer to check the

airbag system as soon as possible.

FOR SAFE DRIVING

Special procedures are required for servic-

ing or replacing an airbag. For that reason,

only a SUZUKI dealer should be allowed to

service or replace your airbags. Remind

anyone who services your SUZUKI vehicle

that it has airbags.

Service on or around airbag components

or wiring must be performed only by a

SUZUKI dealer. 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 lead-

acid battery is disconnected and the igni-

tion switch has been in "LOCK" position for

at least 90 seconds before performing any

electrical service work on your 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.

Scrapping a vehicle that has an uninflated

airbag can be hazardous. Ask a SUZUKI

dealer, body repair shop or scrap yard for

help with disposal.

OFF" indicator (2) comes on.

When you activate or deactivate the front

passenger's airbag system, 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 system is deacti-

vated, side airbags, side curtain airbags

and seat belt pretensioners are still acti-

vated.

58MS030

.A WARNING

When using child restraint system on

the front passenger's seat, the front

passenger's airbag system must be

deactivated; otherwise deployment of

the front passenger's airbag could

result in the death or serious injury of

the child.

.A WARNING

Check that the front passenger's air-

bag system is activated and "PAS-

SENGER AIRBAG ON" indicator (1) is

on whenever there is no child

restraint installed on the front pas-

senger's seat.

According to accident statistics, children

are safer when properly restrained in rear

seating positions than front seating posi-

tions. Whenever possible, SUZUKI recom-

mends that child restraint systems be

installed on the rear seat.
