BEFORE DRIVING

EXAMPLE

Driver’s Seat Belt Reminder

Driver’s seat belt reminder light

WARNING

It is absolutely essential that the

driver and passengers wear their seat

belts at all times. Persons who are

not wearing seat belts have a much

greater risk of injury if an accident

occurs. Make a regular habit of buck-

ling your seat belt before putting the

key in the ignition or pressing the

engine switch.

EXAMPLE

80J2008

NOTE:

71LMT0219

The word “CENTER” is molded into the

buckle for the rear center belt. The buckles

are designed so a latch plate cannot be

inserted into the wrong buckle.

When the driver does not buckle his or her

seat belt with the ignition switch in the “ON”

position or the engine switch is pressed to

change the ignition mode to “ON”, the

driver’s seat belt reminder light in the

instrument cluster will blink until the

driver’s seat belt is buckled.

The reminder will be automatically can-

celed when the driver’s seat belt is buckled

or the ignition switch is turned off.

EXAMPLE

Adjust the shoulder anchor height so that

the shoulder belt rides on the center of the

outboard shoulder. To upward, slide the

anchor up. To downward, slide the anchor

down while pulling the lock knob out. After

adjustment, make sure that the anchor is

securely locked.

Periodically inspect the seat belts to make

sure they work properly and are not dam-

aged. Check the webbing, buckles, latch

plates, retractors, anchorages, and guide

loops. Replace any seat belts which do not

work properly or are damaged.

NOTICE

When you move a seatback, make

sure the belt webbing is hooked in

the seat belt hangers so the seat

belts are not caught by the seatback,

seat hinge, or seat latch. This helps

prevent damage to the belt system.

WARNING

Be sure that the shoulder belt is posi-

tioned on the center of the outside

shoulder. The belt should be away

from your face and neck, but not fall-

ing off your shoulder. Misadjustment

of the belt could reduce the effective-

ness of the safety belt in a crash.

Seat Belts and Child Restraint Systems: 3

BEFORE DRIVING

SUZUKI highly recommends that you use

a child restraint system to restrain infants

and small children. Many different types of

child restraint systems are available; make

sure that the restraint system you select

meets applicable safety standards.

All child restraint systems are designed to

be secured in vehicle seats by either seat

belts (lap belts or the lap portion of lap-

shoulder belts). Whenever possible,

SUZUKI recommends that child restraint

systems be installed on the rear seat.

According to accident statistics, children

are safer when properly restrained in rear

seating positions than in front seating posi-

tions.

65D607

65D608

WARNING

If you must use a front-facing child restraint

in the front passenger’s seat, adjust the

passenger’s seat as far back as possible.

If your vehicle is equipped with a

front passenger air bag, do not install

a rear-facing child restraint in the

front passenger’s seat. If the passen-

ger’s air bag inflates, a child in a rear-

facing child restraint could be killed

or seriously injured. The back of a

rear-facing child restraint would be

too close to the inflating air bag.

NOTE:

Observe any statutory regulation about

child restraints.

WARNING

65D609

If you install a child restraint system

in the rear seat, slide the front seat

for enough forward so that the child’s

feet do not contact the front seat-

back. This will help avoid injury to the

child in the event of an accident.
