FOR SAFE DRIVING
78RB1-01E
Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnostic
module which records information about
the airbag system if the airbags deploy in a
collision. The module records information
about overall system status, and which
sensors activated the deployment, and for
a certain vehicle only, whether the driver’s
seat belt was in use.
Servicing the airbag system
If the airbags inflate, have the airbags and
related components replaced by a SUZUKI
dealer as soon as possible.
If your vehicle ever gets in deep water and
the driver’s floor is submerged, the airbag
controller could be damaged. If this hap-
pens, ask a SUZUKI dealer to check the
airbag system as soon as possible.
Special procedures are required for servic-
ing or replacing an airbag. For that reason,
only a SUZUKI dealer should be allowed to
service or replace your airbags. Remind
anyone who services your SUZUKI vehicle
that it has airbags.
Service on or around airbag components
or wiring must be performed only by a
SUZUKI dealer. Improper service could
result in unintended airbag deployment or
could render the airbag inoperative. Either
of these two conditions may result in
severe injury.
To prevent damage or unintended inflation
of the airbag system, check that the lead-
acid battery is disconnected and the igni-
tion switch has been in “LOCK” position for
at least 90 seconds before performing any
electrical service work on your SUZUKI
vehicle. Do not touch airbag system com-
ponents 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
airbag can be hazardous. Ask a SUZUKI
dealer, body repair shop or scrap yard for
help with disposal.
Front passenger airbag deactiva-
tion system (if equipped)
78RB02027
The front passenger’s front airbag system
must be deactivated if a child restraint sys-
tem is to be installed on the front
passenger’s seat.
When the ignition switch is turned to “ON”
position, “PASSENGER AIRBAG ON” indi-
cator (1) or “PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF”
indicator (2) shows whether the front pas-
senger’s airbag system is activated or
deactivated.
