Supplemental Restraint System (advanced air bags): 3, 9, 12 BEFORE DRIVING Front air bags will not inflate They are not designed to inflate in rear impacts, side impacts, rollovers or minor frontal collisions, since they would offer no protection in those types of accidents. Remember, since air bags deploy only one time during an accident, seat belts are needed to restrain occupants from further movements during the accident.
BEFORE DRIVING Side air bags are located in the part of the front seatbacks closest to the doors. The words “SRS AIRBAG” are molded into the side air bag cover to identify the location of the side air bags. Side collision range Side air bags and side curtain air bags will probably not inflate 64J036 Side air bags and side curtain air bags will not inflate 64J034 Side curtain air bags are located in the roof lining.
BEFORE DRIVING Driver’s Seat Position Sensor WARNING An air bag supplements, or adds to, the crash protection offered by seat belts. The driver and all passengers must be properly restrained by wearing seat belts at all times, whether or not air bags are mounted at their seating position, to minimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash. WARNING If the AIR BAG light in the instrument cluster ever comes on and stays on, it means that something may be wrong with the air bag system.
BEFORE DRIVING Front Passenger Sensing System The front passenger sensing system will turn off the front passenger’s front air bag and seat belt pretensioner under certain conditions. This system works using a sensor mat that is part of the front passenger’s seat.
BEFORE DRIVING front air bag when the system senses a properly-seated adult in the front passenger’s seat. When the passenger sensing system has allowed the air bag to be enabled, the “PASS AIR BAG OFF” indicator will remain off to remind you that the air bag is active. 65D607 WARNING If a person of adult size is sitting in the front passenger’s seat and the “PASS AIR BAG OFF” indicator comes on, it could be because that person isn’t sitting properly in the seat.
BEFORE DRIVING How the System Works WARNING • Do not spill any liquids on the seat. Liquids can damage the sensors under the front seat. • Have the driver’s seat position sensor and the front passenger’s sensor mat inspected by your dealer after a collision. • Do not replace the front seats. If you replace them, the air bags and front passenger sensing system may not work properly. • Do not use a seat cover. If you use a seat cover, the front passenger sensing system may not work properly.
BEFORE DRIVING WARNING 65D610 54G582 • The driver should not lean over the steering wheel. The front passenger should not rest his or her body against the dashboard, or otherwise get too close to the dashboard. For vehicles with side air bags and side curtain air bags, 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 air bag, and may suffer severe injury.
BEFORE DRIVING Service on or around air bag components or wiring must be performed only by an authorized SUZUKI dealer. Improper service could result in unintended air bag deployment or could render the air bags inoperative. Either of these two conditions may result in severe injury.

Catalytic Converter: NO Improving Fuel Economy: NO OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING Even without reserve power in the brake system, you can still stop the vehicle by pressing the brake pedal harder than normally required. However, the stopping distance may be longer. Brake Assist System When you slam the brakes on, the brake assist system judges as an emergency stop and provides more powerful braking for a driver who cannot hold down the brake pedal firmly.
Improving Fuel Economy: NO OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE How the ABS Works A computer continuously monitors wheel speed. The computer compares the changes in wheel speed when braking. If the wheels slow suddenly, indicating a skidding situation, the computer will change braking pressure several times each second to prevent the wheels from locking. When you start your vehicle or when you accelerate after a hard stop, you may hear a momentary motor or clicking noise as the system resets or checks itself.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE The ESP® has the following three systems: Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) (if equipped) ESP® is a registered DaimlerChrysler AG. trademark of The Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) helps to control the vehicle during cornering if the vehicle is understeering or oversteering. It also assists you in maintaining traction while accelerating on loose or slippery road surfaces. It does this by regulating the engine’s output, and by selectively applying the brakes.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING • The ESP® may not work properly if tires or wheels other than those specified in the Owner’s Manual are used. When replacing tires or wheels, use only the size and type specified in this Owner’s Manual. • The ESP® may not work properly if tires are not inflated to the recommended tire inflation pressure. • The ESP® may not work properly if tires are fitted with tire chains. • The ESP® may not work properly if the tires are excessively worn.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) “ESP OFF” switch CAUTION If the “ESP” warning light comes on, or stays on while driving, there may be a malfunction of the ESP® systems (other than ABS). You should have the systems inspected by an authorized SUZUKI dealer. NOTE: When the “ESP” warning light comes on, or stays on while driving, indicating a malfunction of the ESP® systems (other than ABS), the brake system will function as an ordinary ABS that has no additional ESP® functions.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE Low Tire Pressure Warning Light WARNING 52D305 WARNING Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label, you should determine the proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING If the low tire pressure warning light comes on and stays on, reduce your speed and avoid abrupt steering and braking. Stop in a safe place as soon as possible and check your tires. • If you have a flat tire, replace it with the spare tire. Refer to “Jacking Instructions” in the “EMERGENCY SERVICE” section. Refer to “Replacing Tires and/or Wheels” for instructions on how to restore normal operation of the tire pressure monitoring system after you have had a flat tire.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE TPMS Malfunction Indicator WARNING Your vehicle also has been equipped with a TPMS malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operating properly. WARNING The TPMS malfunction indicator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illuminated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the malfunction exists.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE • When the TPMS sensor’s electronic signal is disturbed in one of the following ways: – Electric devices or facilities using similar radio wave frequencies are nearby. – A lot of snow or ice covers the vehicle, in particular, around the wheels or wheel housings. – Snow tires or tire chains are used. • When you use non-genuine SUZUKI wheels or tires.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE Catalytic Converter CAUTION 54G236 The purpose of the catalytic converter is to minimize the amount of harmful pollutants in your vehicle’s exhaust. Use of leaded fuel in vehicles equipped with catalytic converters is prohibited by federal law, because lead deactivates the pollutantreducing components of the catalyst system. The converter is designed to last the life of the vehicle under normal usage and when unleaded fuel is used.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE Improving Fuel Economy The following instructions will help you improve fuel economy. EXAMPLE Avoid excessive idling If you are to wait for more than a minute while you are parked, stop the engine and start it again later. When warming up a cold engine, allow the engine to idle until the temperature gauge pointer comes up to the “C” position. In this position, the engine is sufficiently warm for starting off.
