WARNING
(Continued)
• For vehicles
with
side air bags,
do
not
place seat covers on the
front
seats, because seat covers
could
restrict the
air
bag's inflation. Also,
do
not
place any
cup
holders
on
the door, as the
cup
holder
could
be propelled by the
air
bag in the
event
of
a crash. Either
of
these
conditions
may cause severe
injury.
Note that
even
though your vehicle may be
moderately damaged
in
a collision, the col-
lision may not have been severe enough to
trigger the front or side air bags to inflate.
If
your car sustains ANY front-end or side
damage, have the air bag system
inspected
by
an
authorized SUZUKI dealer
to ensure it is
in
proper working order.
Your
vehicle is equipped with a diagnostic
module which records information about
the air bag system if the air bags deploy
in
a crash. The module records information
about
overall system status, which sensors
activated the deployment.
Servicing the
air
bag system
If
the air bags inflate, have the air bags and
related components replaced
by
an
autho-
rized
SUZUKI. dealer as soon as possible.
If
your vehicle ever gets
in
deep water and
the driver'S floor is submerged, the air bag
controller could be damaged.
If
it does,
have the air bag system inspected by the
SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
Special procedures are required for servic-
ing or replacing
an
air bag. For that reason,
only
an
authorized SUZUKI dealer should
be
allowed to service or replace your air
bags.
Please remind anyone who services
your
SUZUKI that it has air bags.
Service
on
or around air bag components
or wiring must be performed
only by
an
authorized SUZUKI dealer. Improper ser-
vice
could result
in
unintended air bag
deployment or
could render the air bag
inoperative. Either of these two conditions
may result
in
severe injury.
To
prevent damage or unintended inflation
of the air bag system, be sure the battery
is disconnected and the ignition switch has
been
in
the "LOCK" position for at least 90
seconds before performing any electrical
service work
on
your SUZUKI. Do not
touch air bag system components or wires.
The wires are wrapped with
yellow tape or
yellOW
tubing, and the couplers are
yellOW
for easy identification.
Scrapping a car that has
an
uninflated air
bag can be hazardous. Ask your dealer,
body repair shop or scrap yard for
help
with disposal.
