BEFORE DRIVING
79MH0-74E
To determine if your vehicle is equipped
with a seat belt pretensioner system at the
front seating positions, check the label on
the front seat belt at the bottom part. If the
letters “p” and/or “PRE” appear as illus-
trated, your vehicle is equipped with the
seat belt pretensioner system. You can use
the pretensioner seat belts in the same
manner as ordinary seat belts.
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 preten-
sioners. When the air bags are triggered,
the pretensioners are also triggered.
For precautions and general information
including servicing the pretensioner system,
refer to the “Supplemental Restraint System
(air bags)” section in addition to this “Seat
Belt Pretensioner System” section, and fol-
low all those precautions.
The pretensioner is located in each front
seat belt retractor. The pretensioner tight-
ens the seat belt so the belt fits the occu-
pant’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 con-
ditions 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 mini-
mize 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” sec-
tion and the instructions 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 in severe fron-
tal collisions. They are not designed to acti-
vate in rear impacts, side impacts, roll-
overs, or minor frontal collisions. The pre-
tensioners 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 or the engine switch is
pressed to change the ignition mode to
“ON”, 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.
Service on or around the pretensioner sys-
tem components or wiring must be per-
formed 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 or the ignition
mode has been “LOCK” (OFF) for at least
90 seconds before performing any electrical
service work on your Vehicle.
Do not touch pretensioner system compo-
nents or wiring. The wires are wrapped with
yellow tape or yellow tubing, and the cou-
plers are yellow. When scrapping your Vehi-
cle ask your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer, body
repair shop, or scrap yard for assistance.
