SUZUKI highly recommends that you use
a child restraint system to restrain infants
and small children. Many different types of
child restraint systems are available; check
that the restraint system you select meets
applicable safety standards.
All child restraint systems are designed to
be secured in vehicle seats either by seat
belts (lap belts or the lap portion of lap-
shoulder belts) or by special rigid lower
anchor bars built into the seat. Whenever
possible, SUZUKI recommends that child
restraint systems be installed on the rear
seat. According to accident statistics, chil-
dren are safer when properly restrained in
rear seating positions than in front seating
positions.
(For countries applied for UN Regula-
tion No.16)
When purchasing a child restraint and
install it to your SUZUKI vehicle, refer to
the information about suitability for child
restraints shown in “Child restraint system
for countries applied for UN Regulation
No.16” in this section.
NOTE:
Observe any statutory regulation about
child restraints.
EXAMPLE
EXAMPLE
WARNING
(Vehicle without the front passenger
airbag deactivation system)
Do not install a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger’s
seat. If the passenger’s front airbag
inflates, a child in a rear-facing child
restraint could be killed or severely
injured. The back of a rear-facing
child restraint would be too close to
the inflating airbag.
WARNING
(Vehicle with the front passenger air-
bag deactivation system)
Whenever a child restraint system
has to be used in the front passen-
ger’s seat, regardless of front facing
or rear facing, 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.
