When seated as shown in the above illus-
tration, the front passenger sensing sys-
tem senses a properly-seated occupant
and enables the air bag.
When using a seat belt extender, follow the
instructions in the “Seat Belt Extender”
section.
WARNING
The front passenger sensing system
may not work properly in the follow-
ing situations:
• The occupant is not wearing the
seat belt properly.
• The occupant is sitting near the
dashboard or is not sitting in the
proper position.
• A rear seat occupant is pushing or
pulling on the seatback or is push-
ing up the seat cushion using their
feet.
• Objects placed under the seat are
pushing up on the seat cushion.
• Heavy objects are hanging on the
seatback.
WARNING
If the “AIR BAG” light in the instru-
ment cluster ever comes on and
stays on, it means that something
may be wrong with the air bag sys-
tem. If this ever happens, have the
vehicle inspected by an authorized
SUZUKI dealer immediately, because
the air bags may not offer the protec-
tion for which they were designed.
WARNING
If the “PASS AIRBAG OFF” indicator
on the information display turns on
even though there is no occupant or
an adult occupant in the front pas-
senger’s seat, it means that some-
thing may be wrong with the
passenger sensing system. 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 driver’s seat position sen-
sor and the front passenger’s seat
weight sensors inspected by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer after a
collision.
• Do not replace the front seats. If
you replace them, the air bags and
front passenger sensing system
may not work properly.
• Do not use a seat cover. If you use
a seat cover, the front passenger
sensing system may not work prop-
erly.
