BEFORE DRIVING
54G27-03E
Your vehicle has “dual stage” front air
bags, which adjust the air bag inflation
force according to crash severity, driver’s
seat fore/aft position and whether or not
the driver’s seat belt is fastened. Also, your
vehicle has a front passenger sensing sys-
tem, which turns off the front passenger’s
front air bag under certain conditions.
Driver’s Seat Position Sensor
The driver’s seat is equipped with a seat
position sensor to monitor the driver seat
fore/aft position. The seat position sensor
provides information which is used to
judge if the driver’s front air bag should
deploy at reduced power or at full power.
When the seat position sensor has a prob-
lem, the “AIR BAG” light on the instrument
cluster will turn on. If this happens, deploy-
ment of the driver’s front air bag will not
include consideration of seat fore/aft posi-
tion. Have the air bag system inspected by
an authorized SUZUKI dealer as soon as
possible.
Driver’s Seat Belt Buckle Sensor
The driver’s seat belt buckle is equipped
with a sensor to monitor whether or not the
driver’s seat belt is fastened. The driver’s
seat belt buckle sensor provides informa-
tion which is used to judge if the driver’s
front air bag should deploy at reduced
power or at full power.
When the buckle sensor has a problem,
the “AIR BAG” light on the instrument clus-
ter will turn on. If this happens, deployment
of the driver’s front air bag will not include
consideration of whether the driver’s seat
belt is fastened or not. Have the air bag
system inspected by an authorized
SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
Front Passenger Sensing System
The front passenger sensing system will
turn off the front passenger’s front air bag
under certain conditions. This system
works using weight sensors that are part of
the front passenger’s seat and a seat belt
sensor. The front passenger sensing sys-
tem is designed to detect whether an occu-
pant is present in the seat and, if an
occupant is present, to determine whether
the front passenger’s front air bag should
be enabled or disabled (turned off).
NOTE:
The front passenger’s side air bag is not
controlled by the front passenger sensing
system.
54G517
When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, the “PASS AIRBAG OFF”
indicator comes on for several seconds to
let you know the system is working. When
the front passenger sensing system has
turned off the front passenger’s front air
bag, the “PASS AIRBAG OFF” indicator
will come on and stay on to remind you
that the front passenger’s front air bag is
off.
The front passenger sensing system is
designed to turn off the front passenger’s
front air bag when the weight on the front
seat is 30 kg (65 lbs) or less. The front air
bag should be turned off in the following
situations:
• There is no occupant in the front pas-
senger seat.
• The occupant of the front passenger
seat leaves the seat for a period of time.
CAUTION
Do not put any cargo or metal objects
under the seat. The seat position sen-
sor may not work properly or may be
damaged if it is covered with some-
thing.
