Driver’s front airbag precautions
WARNING
• As the airbag may not provide the
best performance and it may result
in severe injury in case of emer-
gency, observe the following
points.
– Do not modify the suspension. If
the vehicle height or the stiffness
of the suspension were to
change, airbag malfunction may
result.
– When installing a grille guard,
etc., on the front of the vehicle,
consult an authorized SUZUKI
dealer or a qualified workshop. If
you modify the front part of the
vehicle, the airbag system may
not work properly.
– When installing radio equipment,
etc., consult an authorized
SUZUKI dealer or a qualified
workshop. Radio waves, etc.,
from a radio may adversely affect
the computer module used in the
airbag system.
