Servicing the air bag system
If the air bags inflate, have the air bags
and related components replaced by an
authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop as
soon as possible.
If your vehicle ever gets in deep water and
the driver’s floor is submerged, the air bag
controller could be damaged. If this hap-
pens, ask an authorised Maruti Suzuki
workshop to check the air bag system as
soon as possible.
Special procedures are required for servic-
ing or replacing an air bag. For that rea-
son, only an authorised Maruti Suzuki
workshop should be allowed to service or
replace your air bags. Remind anyone who
services your MARUTI SUZUKI vehicle
that it has air bags.
Service on or around air bag components
or wiring must be performed only by an
authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop.
Improper service could result in unin-
tended air bag deployment or could render
the air bag inoperative. Either of these two
conditions may result in severe injury.
To prevent damage or unintended inflation
of the air bag system, check that the bat-
tery 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 performing any electri-
cal service work on your MARUTI SUZUKI
vehicle. Do not touch air bag system com-
ponents or wires. The wires are wrapped
with yellow tape or yellow tubing, and the
couplers are yellow for easy identification.
Scrapping a vehicle that has an uninflated
air bag can be hazardous. Ask an autho-
rised Maruti Suzuki workshop, body repair
shop or scrap yard for help with disposal.
