BEFORE DRIVING
84MM6-01E
authorized SUZUKI dealer. Improper ser-
vice could result in unintended 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 for at least 90
seconds before performing any electrical
service work on your SUZUKI 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 dealer,
body repair shop or scrap yard for help
with disposal.
Front Passenger Air Bag Deactiva-
tion System (if equipped)
84MM00227
The front passenger’s front air bag must
be deactivated if a child restraint system is
to be installed on the front passenger’s
seat.
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, the “PASSENGER AIR BAG
ON” indicator (1) or “PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF” indicator (2) shows whether the
front passenger’s air bag is activated or
deactivated.
When the front passenger’s air bag is acti-
vated, both the “PASSENGER AIR BAG
ON” indicator (1) and “PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF” indicator (2) come on for a few
seconds then go out.
After then only the “PASSENGER AIR
BAG ON” indicator (1) comes on for about
1 minute and then goes out.
When the front passenger’s air bag is
deactivated, both the “PASSENGER AIR
BAG ON” indicator (1) and “PASSENGER
AIR BAG OFF” indicator (2) come for a few
seconds then go out.
After then only the “PASSENGER AIR
BAG OFF” indicator (2) comes on.
When you activate or deactivate the front
passenger’s air bag, make sure which indi-
cator is on before starting the engine.
Side air bags, side curtain air bags and
seat belt pretensioners are not connected
to the air bag deactivation system. Even if
the front passenger’s air bag is deacti-
vated, side air bags, side curtain air bags
and seat belt pretensioners are still acti-
vated.
