FOR SAFE DRIVING
69TB-01E
Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnostic
module which records information about
the airbag system if the airbags deploy in a
collision. The module records information
about overall system status, and which
sensors activated the deployment.
WARNING
(Continued)
• Do not attach any objects to, or
place any objects over, the steering
wheel or dashboard. Do not place
any objects between the airbag and
the driver or front passenger.
These objects may interfere with
airbag operation or may be pro-
pelled by the airbag in the event of
a collision. Also, these objects may
move when you start moving vehi-
cle or while vehicle is moving, they
may interfere with driver’s view or
safe driving. In each condition, it
may cause severe injury.
• For vehicle with side airbags, do not
use seat covers on the front seats,
because seat covers may obstruct
the inflation of side airbags. Also,
near the door, do not place cup
holders, hangers or any other
objects and do not lean an umbrella,
as these objects could be propelled
by the airbag in the event of a colli-
sion. Either of these conditions may
cause severe injury.

WARNING
(Continued)
• Do not strike or apply significant
levels of impact to the airbag com-
ponent areas. It can cause the air-
bags to malfunction.
• Even though your vehicle is moder-
ately damaged by a collision, it may
not be severe enough to trigger
front, side or side curtain airbags
to inflate. If your vehicle sustains
any front-end or side damage, have
the airbag system inspected by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer or a
qualified workshop to ensure that it
works properly. If the original func-
tion of airbag system is damaged,
airbag may not function effectively
and fully in case of an emergency.
CAUTION
Airbags must inflate quickly and
forcefully in order to reduce the
chance of serious or fatal injuries.
However, an unavoidable conse-
quence of the quick inflation is that
the airbag may irritate bare skin,
such as the facial area against a front
airbag. Wash off any residue as soon
as possible to prevent skin irritation.
Also, upon inflation, a loud noise will
occur and some powder and smoke
will be released. These conditions
are not harmful and do not indicate a
fire in the vehicle. Be aware, however,
that some airbag components may be
hot for a while after inflation.
This may cause burn injury.
