BEFORE DRIVING
79MH0-74E
Note that even though your vehicle may be
moderately damaged in a frontal collision,
the collision may not have been severe
enough to trigger the air bags to inflate. If
your vehicle sustains ANY front-end dam-
age, have the air bag system inspected by
an authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop to
ensure it is in proper working order.
Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnostic
module which records information about
the air bag system if the air bags deploy in
a crash. The module records information
about overall system status, which sensors
activated the deployment.
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 it does,
have the air bag system inspected by the
authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop 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. Please remind any-
one who services your MARUTI SUZUKI
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, be sure the battery
is disconnected and the ignition switch has
been in the “LOCK” position or the ignition
mode has been “LOCK” (OFF) for at least
90 seconds before performing any electri-
cal service work on your Vehicle. Do not
touch air bag system components 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 your autho-
rised Maruti Suzuki workshop, body repair
shop or scrap yard for help with disposal.
