BEFORE DRIVING  
Child restraint system for countries applied for UN Regulation No.16  
CAUTION  
Adjust the height of the rear head restraint or remove it for fitting the child restraint, as necessary. However, if a booster  
cushion not equipped with the head restraint is fitted, the rear seat head restraint should not be removed. If the rear head  
restraint is removed for fitting the child restraint, you need to install it again after removing the child restraint.  
If the child restraint is fitted improperly, a child sitting in it could be injured in a crash. (Refer to “Installation with lap-shoul-  
der seat belts” section, “Installation with ISOFIX type anchorages” section and “Installation of child restraint with top tether”  
section in this section for details.)  
Child restraint  
The suitability of each passenger’s seat position for carriage of children and fitting of child restraint system is shown in the table below.  
Whenever you carry children under 12 years of age or smaller than 150 cm, properly use the child restraints which conform to UN Regu-  
lation No. 44, the standard for child restraints, referring to the table.

Whenever possible, SUZUKI recom-  
mends that child restraint systems be  
installed on the rear seat. According to  
accident statistics, children are safer when  
properly restrained in rear seating posi-  
tions than in front seating positions.  
• If you must install the child restraint sys-  
tem on the front passenger’s seat, follow  
instructions below.  
– Deactivate the front passenger’s front  
air bag by the front passenger air bag  
deactivation system.  
– Slide the seat to the most rear position  
by the seat position adjustment lever.  
– Adjust the seatback at the 5th step  
inclined position (counted from most  
upright position) with the seatback  
angle adjustment lever.  
Installation with lap-shoulder seat  
belts  
EXAMPLE  
CAUTION  
If your vehicle is equipped with the  
rear head restraint, adjust the height  
of the rear head restraint or remove it  
for fitting the child restraint, as nec-  
essary. However, if a booster cushion  
not equipped with the head restraint  
is fitted, the rear seat head restraint  
should not be removed. If the rear  
head restraint is removed for fitting  
the child restraint, you need to install  
it again after removing the child  
restraint.  
80JC021  
If the child restraint is fitted improp-  
erly, a child sitting in it could be  
injured in a crash.  
– If your vehicle is equipped with the  
seat height adjustment lever, raise the  
seat to the uppermost position by the  
seat height adjustment lever.  
NOTE:  
Stow the removed head restraint in the lug-  
gage compartment so it will not cause  
inconvenience to the occupants.  
Install your child restraint system accord-  
ing to the instructions provided by the child  
restraint system manufacturer.  
Check that the seat belt is securely  
latched.  
Move the child restraint system in all direc-  
tions to check that it is securely installed.  
When you put your child in the child  
restraint system, appropriately slide the  
front seat forward not to touch a part of  
your child’s body.

BEFORE DRIVING  
Install the ISOFIX type child restraint sys-  
tem according to the instructions provided  
by the child restraint system manufacturer.  
After installation, try moving the child  
restraint system in all directions especially  
forward to check that connecting bars are  
securely latched to the anchorages.  
Here is a general instruction:  
Installation with ISOFIX type  
anchorages  
CAUTION  
If your vehicle is equipped with the  
rear head restraint, adjust the height  
of the rear head restraint or remove it  
for fitting the child restraint, as nec-  
essary. However, if a booster cushion  
not equipped with the head restraint  
is fitted, the rear seat head restraint  
should not be removed. If the rear  
head restraint is removed for fitting  
the child restraint, you need to install  
it again after removing the child  
restraint.  
EXAMPLE  
If the child restraint is fitted improp-  
erly, a child sitting in it could be  
injured in a crash.  
EXAMPLE  
52RM20270  
Your vehicle is equipped with the lower  
anchorages in the rear seat outboard seat-  
ing positions for securing a ISOFIX type of  
child restraints with the connecting bars.  
The lower anchorages are located where  
the rear of the seat cushion meets the bot-  
tom of the seatback.  
NOTE:  
Stow the removed head restraint in the lug-  
gage compartment so it will not cause  
inconvenience to the occupants.  
84MM00252  
Your vehicle is equipped with the top tether  
anchorages. Use the top tether strap of the  
child restraint according to the instructions  
provided by the child restraint system man-  
ufacturer.

52RM20180  
WARNING  
Some child restraint systems require the  
use of a top tether strap. Top tether anchor-  
age brackets are provided in your vehicle at  
the locations shown in the illustrations.  
The number of the top tether anchorage  
brackets provided in your vehicle depends  
on the vehicle specification. Install the child  
restraint system as follows:  
Do not attach the child restraint top  
tether strap to the luggage restraint  
loops (if equipped). Incorrectly  
attached top tether strap will reduce  
the intended effectiveness of the  
child restraint system.  
When you put your child in the child  
restraint system, appropriately slide the  
front seat forward not to touch a part of  
your child’s body.  
NOTICE  
When installing a child restraint sys-  
tem to the rear seat, adjust the front  
seat position so that the front seat  
does not interfere with the child  
restraint system.

EXAMPLE  
To determine if your vehicle is equipped  
with a seat belt pretensioner system at the  
front or rear seating positions, check the  
label on the seat belt at the bottom part. If  
the letters “p” and/or “PRE” appear as illus-  
trated, your vehicle is equipped with the  
seat belt pretensioner system. You can use  
the pretensioner seat belts in the same  
manner as ordinary seat belts.  
Seat belt pretensioner system  
EXAMPLE  
and/or  
Read this section and “Supplemental  
restraint system (air bags)” section to learn  
more about the pretensioner system.  
The seat belt pretensioner system works  
with the supplemental restraint system (air  
bags). The crash sensors and the elec-  
tronic controller of the air bag system also  
control the seat belt pretensioners. The  
pretensioners are triggered only when  
there is a frontal or side crash severe  
enough to trigger the air bags and the seat  
belts are fastened. For precautions and  
general information including servicing the  
pretensioner system, refer to “Supplemen-  
tal restraint system (air bags)” section in  
addition to this “Seat belt pretensioner sys-  
tem” section, and follow all those precau-  
tions.

4) When routing the top tether strap, pass  
the top tether strap as shown in the  
illustration. (Refer to “Head restraints (if  
equipped)” section for details on how to  
remove the head restraint.)  
5) Check that cargo does not interfere  
with routing of the top tether strap.

WARNING  
This section describes your SUZUKI  
vehicle’s seat belt pretensioner sys-  
tem. Read and follow all these  
instructions carefully to minimize  
your risk of severe injury or death.  
NOTICE  
When installing a child restraint sys-  
tem to the rear seat, adjust the front  
seat position so that the front seat  
does not interfere with the child  
restraint system.  
The pretensioner is located in each front  
seat belt retractor and each rear seat belt  
retractor in outboard seating position. The  
pretensioner tightens the seat belt so the  
belt fits the occupant’s body more snugly in  
the event of a frontal or side crash. The  
retractors will remain locked after the pre-  
tensioners are activated. Upon activation,  
2-47  
52RM0-01E  
BEFORE DRIVING  
some noise will occur and some smoke  
may be released. These conditions are not  
harmful and do not indicate a fire in the  
vehicle.  
than 10 seconds, or comes on while driv-  
ing, the pretensioner system or the air bag  
system may not work properly. Have both  
systems inspected by an authorized  
SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.  
The driver and all passengers must be  
properly restrained by fastening seat belts  
at all times, whether or not a pretensioner  
is equipped at their seating position, to  
minimize the risk of severe injury or death  
in the event of a crash.  
Service on or around the pretensioner sys-  
tem components or wiring must be per-  
formed only by an authorized SUZUKI  
dealer who is specially trained. Improper  
service could result in unintended activa-  
tion of pretensioners or could render the  
pretensioner inoperative. Either of these  
two conditions may result in personal  
injury.  
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.  
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 “LOCK”  
(OFF) for at least 90 seconds before per-  
forming any electrical service work on your  
SUZUKI vehicle.  
Please note that the pretensioners along  
with the air bags will activate in severe  
frontal or side crashes. They are not  
designed to activate in rear impacts, roll-  
overs, or minor frontal side crashes. The  
pretensioners can be activated only once.  
If the pretensioners are activated (that is, if  
the air bags are activated), have the pre-  
tensioner system serviced by an autho-  
rized SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.  
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, body repair shop, or scrap  
yard for assistance.  
If AIR BAG light on the instrument cluster  
does not blink or come on briefly when the  
ignition switch is turned to “ON” position or  
the engine switch is pressed to change the  
ignition mode to “ON”, stays on for more
