Suzuki GRAND VITARA XL-7 Service Manual

WARNING:

For vehicles equipped with a Supplemental

Restraint (Air Bag) System:

D Service on and around the air bag system

components or wiring must be performed

only by an authorized SUZUKI dealer.

Refer to “Air Bag System Components and

Wiring Location View” under “General De-

scription” in air bag system section in order

to confirm whether you are performing ser-

vice on or near the air bag system compo-

nents or wiring. Please observe all WARN-

INGS and “Service Precautions” under “On-

Vehicle Service” in air bag system section

before performing service on or around the

air bag system components or wiring. Fail-

ure to follow WARNINGS could result in

unintentional activation of the system or

could render the system inoperative. Either

of these two conditions may result in severe

injury.

D If the air bag system and another vehicle

system both need repair, SUZUKI recom-

mends that the air bag system be repaired

first, to help avoid unintended air bag sys-

tem activation.

D Do not modify the steering wheel, instru-

ment panel or any other air bag system com-

ponent (on or around air bag system compo-

nents or wiring). Modifications can adverse-

ly affect air bag system performance and

lead to injury.

D If the vehicle will be exposed to tempera-

tures over 93

_C (200_F) (for example, during

a paint baking process), remove the air bag

system components (air bag (inflator) mod-

ule, sensing and diagnostic module (SDM),

seat belt pretensioner (if equipped) before-

hand to avoid component damage or unin-

tended activation.
