BEFORE DRIVING

sure that the restraint system you select
meets applicable safety standards.
All child restraint systems are designed to
be secured on vehicle seats by seat belts
(lap belts or the lap portion of lap-shoulder
belts). Whenever possible, SUZUKI rec-
ommends that child restraint systems be
installed on the rear seat. According to
accident statistics, children are safer when
properly restrained in rear seating posi-
tions than in front seating positions.
If you must use a front-facing child
restraint in the front passenger’s seat,
adjust the passenger’s seat as far back as
possible.
NOTE:
Observe any statutory regulation about
child restraints.

WARNING
If your vehicle is equipped with a
front passenger air bag, do not install
a rear-facing child restraint in the
front passenger’s seat. If the passen-
ger’s air bag inflates, a child in a rear-
facing child restraint could be killed
or seriously injured. The back of a
rear-facing child restraint would be
too close to the inflating air bag.
WARNING
If you install a child restraint system
in the rear seat, slide the front seat
far enough forward so that the child’s
feet do not touch the front seatback.
This will help avoid injury to the child
in the event of an accident.
