Service on or around the pretensioner
system components or wiring must be
performed only by an authorized MARUTI
SUZUKI dealer who is specially trained.
Improper service could result in unintended
activation of pretensioners or could render
the pretensioner inoperative. Either of these
two conditions may result in personal injury.
To prevent damage or unintended
activation of the pretensioners, be sure the
battery is disconnected and the ignition
switch has been in the “LOCK” position for
at least 90 seconds before performing any
electrical service work on your MARUTI
SUZUKI.
Do not touch pretensioner system
components or wiring. The wires are
wrapped with yellow tape or yellow tubing,
and the couplers are yellow. When
scrapping your MARUTI SUZUKI, ask your
MARUTI SUZUKI dealer, body repair shop,
or scrap yard for assistance.
BEFORE DRIVING

Read this section and the “Supplemental
Restraint System (air bags)” section to
learn more about the pretensioner system.
The seat belt pretensioner system works
with the SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM (Air Bags). The crash sensors
and the electronic controller of the air bag
system also control the seat belt
pretensioners. When the air bags are
triggered, the pretensioners are also
triggered. For precautions and general
infor mation including ser vicing the
pretensioner system, refer to the
“Supplemental Restraint System (air bags)”
section in addition to this “Seat Belt
Pretensioner System” section, and follow
all those precautions.
The pretensioner is located in each front
seat belt retractor. The pretensioner
tightens the seat belt so the belt fits the
occupant’s body more snugly in the event
of a frontal crash. The retractors will remain
locked after the pretensioners are activated.
Upon activation, some noise will occur and
some smoke may be released. These
conditions are not harmful and do not
indicate a fire in the vehicle.
The driver and all passengers must be
properly restrained by wearing seat belts
at all times, whether or not a pretensioner
is equipped at their seating position, to
minimize the risk of severe injury or death
in the event of a crash.
Sit fully back in the seat; sit up straight; do
not lean forward or sideways. Adjust the
belt so the lap portion of the belt is worn
low across the pelvis, not across the waist.
Please refer to the “Seat Adjustment”
section and the instr uctions and
precautions about the seat belts in this
“Seat Belts and Child Restraint Systems”
section for details on proper seat and seat
belt adjustments.
Please note that the pretensioners along
with the air bags will activate only in severe
frontal collisions. They are not designed to
activate in rear impacts, side impacts,
rollovers, or minor frontal collisions. The
pretensioners can be activated only once.
If the pretensioners are activated (that is,
if the air bags are activated), have the
pretensioner system serviced by an
authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer as
soon as possible.
If the “AIR BAG” light on the instrument
cluster does not blink or come on briefly
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, stays on for more than 10
seconds, or comes on while driving, the
pretensioner system or the air bag system
may not work properly. Have both systems
inspected by an authorized MARUTI
SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
