1-1. For safe use
WARNING
●
The SRS driver airbag deploys with
considerable force, and can cause
death or serious injury especially if
the driver is very close to the air-
bag.
Since the risk zone for the driver’s air-
bag is the first 50 - 75 mm (2 - 3 in.) of
inflation, placing yourself 250 mm (10
in.) from your driver airbag provides
you with a clear margin of safety. This
distance is measured from the center
of the steering wheel to your breast-
bone. If you sit less than 250 mm (10
in.) away now, you can change your
driving position in several ways:
• Move your seat to the rear as far as
you can while still reaching the ped-
als comfortably.
• Slightly recline the back of the seat.
Although vehicle designs vary,
many drivers can achieve the 250
mm (10 in.) distance, even with the
driver seat all the way forward, sim-
ply by reclining the back of the seat
somewhat. If reclining the back of
your seat makes it hard to see the
road, raise yourself by using a firm,
non-slippery cushion, or raise the
seat if your vehicle has that feature.
• If your steering wheel is adjustable,
tilt it downward. This points the air-
bag toward your chest instead of
your head and neck.
The seat should be adjusted as rec-
ommended above, while still main-
taining control of the foot pedals,
steering wheel, and your view of the
instrument panel controls.
●
The SRS front passenger airbag
also deploys with considerable
force, and can cause death or seri-
ous injury especially if the front pas-
senger is very close to the airbag.
The front passenger seat should be
as far from the airbag as possible
with the seatback adjusted, so the
front passenger sits upright.
● Improperly seated and/or restrained
infants and children can be killed or
seriously injured by a deploying air-
bag. An infant or child who is too
small to use a seat belt should be
properly secured using a child
restraint system. Suzuki strongly
recommends that all infants and
children be placed in the rear seats
of the vehicle and properly
restrained. The rear seats are safer
for infants and children than the
front passenger seat. (

of the SRS front passenger airbag
unit or sit on the knees of a front
passenger.
●
Do not allow the front seat occu-
pants to hold items on their knees.
