RESTRAINT SYSTEM 10-3
SEAT BELT WITH ELR
The seat belt with emergency locking retractor (ELR) is designed so that it locks immediately (to prevent the web-
bing from being pulled out of the retractor any further) when any of the following items is detected as exceeding
each set value;
speed at which the webbing is pulled out of the retractor,
acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle speed, and
inclination.
SEAT BELT WITH ELR AND EML
The seat belt with ELR and EML includes both an ELR mechanism described above and an Energy Management
Loop (EML).
An EML is a small loop of webbing lightly stitched into the shoulder belt under the plastic sleeve. When the loop
is pulled by a force exceeding a specified value, the seam of the loop is torn so that the instantaneous load applied
to the driver and passenger wearing that seat belt is reduced.
DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS
With the air bag system which includes air bags for both the driver’s and passenger’s sides, the driver air bag (infla-
tor) module is deployed from the center of the steering column and the passenger air bag (inflator) module from
the top of the instrument panel in front of the front passenger seat in occurrence of a front collision with an impact
larger than a certain set value to supplement protection offered by the driver and front passenger seat belts.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
If replacing seat belt is necessary, replace buckle and retractor assembly (or webbing) together as
a set. This is for the reason of ensuring locking of tongue plate with buckle.
If these parts are replaced individually, such a locking condition may become unreliable. For this rea-
son, SUZUKI will supply only the spare buckle and retractor assembly (or webbing) in a set part.
Before servicing or replacing seat belts, refer to following precautionary items.
Seat belts should be normal relative to strap retractor and buckle portions.
Keep sharp edges and damaging objects away from belts.
Avoid bending or damaging any portion of belt buckle or latch plate.
Do not bleach or dye belt webbing. (Use only mild soap and lukewarm water to clean it.)
When installing a seat belt anchor bolt by hand to prevent cross-threading.
Do not attempt any repairs on retractor mechanisms or retractor covers. Replace defective assemblies with new
replacement parts.
Keep belts dry and clean at all times.
If there exist any parts in question, replace such parts.
Replace belts whose webbing is cut or otherwise damaged.
Do not put anything into trim panel opening which seat belt webbing passes through.
