WARNING
An air bag supplements or adds to
the crash 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 air bag is mounted at their
seating position, to minimize the risk
of severe injury or death in the event
of a crash.
AIR BAG light
If AIR BAG light on the instrument cluster
does not blink or come on when the igni-
tion switch is first turned to "ON" position,
or the ignition mode is first changed to ON,
or AIR BAG light stays on, or comes on
while driving, the air bag system (or the
seat belt pretensioner system) may not
work properly. Have the air bag system
inspected by an authorized SUZUKI dealer
as soon as possible.

WARNING
63J030
NEVER use a rearward facing child
restraint on a seat protected by an
ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH
or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD
can occur.
BEFORE DRIVING
Front air bags
EXAMPLE
84MS0T209
Front air bags are designed to inflate in
severe frontal crashes when the ignition
switch is in "ON" position or the ignition
mode is ON.
NOTE:
In a frontal angle crash, the side air bags (if
equipped) and side curtain air bags (if
equipped) may inflate.
Front air bags are not designed to inflate in
rear impacts, side impacts, rollovers or
minor frontal crashes, since they would
offer no protection in those types of acci-
dents. Since an air bag deploys only one
time during an accident, seat belts are
needed to restrain occupants from further
movements during the accident.
