ON” indicator (1) comes on for about 1
minute and then goes out.
When the front passenger’s airbag system
is deactivated, both “PASSENGER AIR-
BAG ON” indicator (1) and “PASSENGER

According to accident statistics, children
are safer when properly restrained in rear
seating positions than front seating posi-
tions. Whenever possible, SUZUKI recom-
mends that child restraint systems be
installed on the rear seat.
Airbag deactivation switch

The airbag deactivation switch (3) is
installed only for use when a rear-facing
child restraint system or infant restraint
system is installed in the front passenger’s
seat. The switch is located on the lateral
face of the passenger’s side of the instru-
ment panel.
WARNING
When using child restraint system on
the front passenger’s seat, the front
passenger’s airbag system must be
deactivated; otherwise deployment of
the front passenger’s airbag could
result in the death or serious injury of
the child.
WARNING
Check that the front passenger’s air-
bag system is activated and “PAS-
SENGER AIRBAG ON” indicator (1) is
on whenever there is no child
restraint installed on the front pas-
senger’s seat.
