On-Vehicle Service
Service Precautions
Service and diagnosis
Before servicing or replacing seat belts, refer to following precautionary items.
• Seat belts should be normal relative to strap retractor and buckle portions.
• Keep sharp edges and damaging objects away from belts. Avoid bending or damaging any portion of belt
buckle, latch plate and ELR.
• Do not bleach or dye belt webbing. (Use only mild soap and lukewarm water to clean it.)
• When installing a seat belt anchor bolt, start bolt by hand to prevent cross-threading.
• Use only the correct seat belt anchor bolts and screws and tighten to the correct torque value.
• Do not attempt any repairs on retractor mechanisms or retractor covers. Replace defective assemblies with
new replacement parts.
• Keep belts dry and clean at all times.
• If there exist any parts in question, replace such parts.
• Replace belts whose webbing is cut or otherwise damaged.
• Do not put anything into trim panel opening which seat belt webbing passes through.

WARNING:
If replacing seat belt is necessary, replace buckle and ELR (or webbing) together as a set. This is for
the reason of ensuring locking of tongue plate with buckle. If these parts are replaced individually,
such a locking condition may become unreliable. For this reason, SUZUKI will supply only the spare
buckle and ELR (or webbing) in a set part.
WARNING:
When performing service on or around air bag system components or air bag system wiring, disable
the air bag system. Refer to “DISABLING AIR BAG SYSTEM” of “SERVICE PRECAUTIONS” under
“ON-VEHICLE SERVICE” in Section 10B.
Failure to follow procedures could result in possible air bag activation, personal injury or unneeded
air bag system repairs.
