BEFORE DRIVING
80SS5-01E
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.
WARNING
• The driver should not lean over the
steering wheel. The front passen-
ger should not rest his or her body
against the dashboard where a
front airbag is mounted or a child
should not stand in front of the
dashboard. Otherwise, he or she
will get too close to the dashboard.
For vehicles with side airbags and
side curtain airbag, occupants
should not lean on or sleep against
the door. In these situations, the
out-of-position occupant would be
too close to an inflating airbag, and
may suffer severe injury.

WARNING
(Continued)
• Do not attach any objects to, or
place any objects over, the steering
wheel or dashboard. Do not place
any objects between the airbag and
the driver or front passenger.
These objects may interfere with
airbag operation or may be pro-
pelled by the airbag in the event of
a collision. Also, these objects may
move when you start moving vehi-
cle or while vehicle is moving, they
may interfere with driver’s view or
safe driving. In each conditions
may cause severe injury.
• For vehicles with side airbags, do
not use non-genuine seat covers on
the front seats, because non-genu-
ine seat covers may obstruct the
inflation of side airbags. SUZUKI
highly recommends SUZUKI-genu-
ine seat covers to be used when
covering the front seats of such
vehicles with side airbags. Also,
near the door, do not place cup
holders, hangers or any other
objects and do not lean an umbrella,
as these objects could be propelled
by the airbag in the event of a colli-
sion. Either of these conditions may
cause severe injury.

WARNING
(Continued)
• Do not strike or apply significant
levels of impact to the airbag com-
ponent areas. It can cause the air-
bags to malfunction.
• Even though your vehicle is moder-
ately damaged by a collision, it may
not be severe enough to trigger
front, side or side curtain airbags
to inflate. If your vehicle sustains
any front-end or side damage, have
the airbag system inspected by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer to
ensure that it works properly. If the
original function of airbag system
is damaged, airbag may not func-
tion effectively and fully in case of
an emergency.
