Page 54 BEFORE DRIVING Across the pelvis 65D201 WARNING (Continued) • Seat belts should never be worn with the straps twisted and should be adjusted as tightly as is com- fortable to provide the protection for which they have been designed. A slack belt will provide less pro- tection than one which is snug.
Page 55 WARNING (Continued) • Infants and small children should never be transported unless they are properly restrained. Restraint systems for infants and small chil- dren can be purchased commer- cially and should be used. Make sure that the system you purchase meets Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
Page 56 BEFORE DRIVING To reduce the risk of sliding under the belt during a collision, position the lap portion of the belt across your lap as low on your hips as possible and adjust it to a snug fit by pulling the shoulder portion of the belt upward through the latch plate.
Page 57 Rear Center Seat Belt 57L21183 The rear center seat belt is a “Lap-shoul- der belt” with a buckle, a latch plate and a detachable connector.

Page 64 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 Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan- dards.
Page 65 WARNING Children could be endangered in a crash if their child restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle. When installing a child restraint sys- tem, be sure to follow the instruc- tions below. Be sure to secure the child in the restraint system accord- ing to the manufacturer’s instruc- tions.

Page 80 If this happens, deployment of the front passenger’s air bag will not include consideration of whether the front passenger’s seat belt is fastened or not. Have system inspected by an authorized SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
Page 81 Front Passenger Sensing System The front passenger sensing system will turn off the front passenger’s front air bag and seat belt pretensioner under certain conditions. This system works using a sen- sor mat that is part of the front passenger’s seat.
Page 82 According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in rear seating positions than in front seating posi- tions. Whenever possible, SUZUKI recom- mends you install child restraints in the rear seat. 2-63 The front passenger sensing system is designed to enable the front passenger’s...
Page 83 Have the system inspected by an authorized SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible. WARNING • Do not spill any liquids on the seat. Liquids can damage the sensors under the front seat. • Have the front passenger’s sensor mat inspected by your dealer after a collision.
Page 84 BEFORE DRIVING Air bags must inflate quickly and forcefully in order to reduce the chance of serious or fatal injuries. However, an unavoidable consequence of the quick inflation is that the air bag may irritate bare skin, such as the facial area against a front air bag. Also, upon inflation, a loud noise will occur and some powder and smoke will be released.
