PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONS FOR VEHICLE EQUIPPED
WITH A SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
(AIR BAG) SYSTEM
WARNING:
The configuration of air bag system parts are as
shown in the figure. When it is necessary to service
(remove, reinstall and inspect) these parts, be sure to
follow procedures described in SECTION 10B. Failure
to follow proper procedures could result in possible
air bag system activation, personal injury, damage to
parts or air bag system being unable to activate when
necessary.
If the air bag system and another vehicle system both
need repair, SUZUKI recommends that the air bag sys-
tem be repaired first, to help avoid unintended air bag
system activation.
Do not modify the steering wheel, dashboard, or any
other air bag system components. Modifications can
adversely affect air bag system performance and lead
to injury.
If the vehicle will be exposed to temperatures over
93C (200F) (for example, during a paint baking pro-
cess), remove the air bag system components before-
hand to avoid component damage or unintended air
bag system activation.
1. Steering wheel
2. Driver air bag (inflator) module
3. Passenger air bag (inflator) module (if equipped)
4. SDM
5. Air bag harness
6. DLC
DIAGNOSIS
When troubleshooting air bag system, be sure to follow
DIAGNOSIS in SECTION 10B. Bypassing these procedures
may result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect diagno-
sis, and incorrect parts replacement.
Never use electrical test equipment other than that speci-
fied in this manual.
WARNING:
Never attempt to measure the resistance of the air bag
(inflator) modules (driver and passenger). It is very dan-
gerous as the electric current from the tester may deploy
the air bag.
