Supplemental Restraint System (air bags): 3, 9, 12 BEFORE DRIVING tion 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. Please note that the pretensioners along with the front air bags will activate in severe frontal collisions. Also, the pretensioners along with the side curtain air bags will activate in severe rollovers. They are not designed to activate in rear impacts, side impacts, or minor frontal collisions. The pretensioners can be activated only once. If the pretensioners are activated (that is, if the front air bags and/or the side curtain air bags are activated), have the pretensioner system serviced by an authorized SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible. If the "AIR BAG" light on the instrument cluster does not blink or come on briefly when the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" position, stays on for more than 10 seconds, or comes on while driving, 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. Service on or around the pretensioner system components or wiring must be performed only by an authorized SUZUKI dealer who is specially trained. Improper service could result in unintended activation of pretensioners or could render the pretensioner inoperative. Either of these two conditions may result in personal injury. To prevent damage or unintended activation of the pretensioners, be sure the battery is disconnected and the ignition switch has been in the "LOCK" position for at least 90 seconds before performing any electrical service work on your SUZUKI. Do not touch pretensioner system components or wiring. The wires are wrapped with yellow tape or yellow tubing, and the couplers are yellow. When scrapping your SUZUKI, ask your SUZUKI dealer, body repair shop or scrap yard for assistance.
