F o r frontal air bags, inflation is dete rmin ed by the angle of the impact and how quic kly the vehicle slo ws down in frontal and near- frontal impacts. For side impact air bags, inflation is deter mined by the location and se verity of the impact.
1-33 SEATS AND RESTRAINT SYSTEMS 85Z14-03E • Y our vehicle is equip ped with a crash sensing and diagnostic module, which records information about the air b ag system. The module records inf or mation about the readiness of the system, wh en the system commands air bag inflation.
1-34 SEATS AND RESTRAINT SYSTEMS 85Z14-03E Replacing Restra int System Parts After a Crash If you’v e had a crash, do you need new belts or LA TCH system par ts? If belts are cut or dama ged, replace them . Collision damage also may mean you will need to hav e LA TCH system, saf ety belt or seat par ts repaired or replaced.

DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE 4 85Z14-03E DRIVING Y OUR VEHICLE Your Driving, the Road, and Your Vehicl e ................ ........ 4-1 Towing .... ............
4-1 DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE 85Z14-03E Your Driving, the Road, and Your Vehicle Defensive Driving The best advice anyone can giv e a bout drivin g is: Drive def e nsiv el y . Please star t by using a v e ry impor tant saf ety device in your v ehicle: Y our saf ety belt.
4-2 DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE 85Z14-03E It’ s the amount of alcohol that counts. Fo r example , if th e same person drank three double mar tinis (3 ounces or 90 ml o f liquor each) within an hour , the person’ s BAC w ould be close to 0.12 percent. A per- son who consumes food just before or dur- ing drin king will hav e a somewhat lower BAC le vel.
4-3 DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE 85Z14-03E Sometime s, as when y ou’re driving on snow or ice , it’ s easy to ask more of those control systems than the ti res and road can provide. That means y ou ca n lose con- trol of your v ehicle. Braking Braking action inv olves perception time and reaction time.
4-4 DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE 85Z14-03E Let’ s say the road is wet and y ou’ re dr iving safely . Suddenly , an animal jumps out in front of you. Y ou slam on the brakes and continue braking. Here’ s what happens with ABS: A computer senses that wheels are slow- ing down.
4-5 DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE 85Z14-03E Steering Po w e r S t e e r i n g If you lose pow er steer ing assist beca use the engine stops or the system i s not func- tioning, you can steer but it will tak e much more eff o r t.
4-6 DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE 85Z14-03E Steering in Emergencies There are time s when steering can be more effectiv e than braking. Fo r example, you come ov er a hill and find a tr uck stopped in your lane, o r a car suddenly pulls out from nowhere, or a child dar ts out from between parked cars and stops righ t in front of you.
4-7 DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE 85Z14-03E gerous mov e, since the passing vehicle occupies th e same lane as oncoming traf- fic f or sev eral seconds. A miscalculation, an error in ju dgment, or a brief surrend er to frustration or anger can sudd enly put the passing dri ver f ace to face with the worst of all traffic accidents – the head-o n collision.
4-8 DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE 85Z14-03E steer the wa y you want the v ehicle to go. If you star t steering quickly enough, your vehicle ma y straighten out. Alwa ys be ready for a second skid if it o ccurs. Of course, traction is reduced when water , snow , ice , gra vel or other material is on the road.
4-9 DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE 85Z14-03E Remember that your headlamps light up far l ess of a roadwa y when you are in a tur n or curve. K eep your e yes moving; that wa y , it’s easier to pick out dimly lighted objects. Just as your headlamps should be check ed regul arly for proper aim, so should your ey es be examined regularly .
4-10 DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE 85Z14-03E Hydroplaning Hydroplaning is dang erous. So much water can build up under your tires that they can actually ride on the water . This can happen if the road is wet enough and you’ re going fast enough. When your v e hi- cle is hydroplaning, it has little or no con- tact with the road.
4-11 DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE 85Z14-03E time and energy . Se e the next par t, “F reewa y Driving. ” • T reat a green light as a warning signal. A traffic light is there because the cor ner is busy enough to need it.
4-12 DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE 85Z14-03E • Tires: The y are vitally impor tant to a saf e, trouble-free trip. Is the tread good enough for long-distance driving? Are the tires all inflated to the recomme.
4-13 DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE 85Z14-03E • As you go ov er the top of a hill, be aler t. There could be something in your lane, like a stalled car or an accide nt. • Y ou may see highwa y signs on moun- tains that warn of spe cial problems. Examples are long grades, passing or no-passing zones, a f all ing rocks area or winding roads.
4-14 DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE 85Z14-03E cle’ s stability when you make a hard stop on a slipper y road.) Whether you hav e an anti-lock braking system or not, y ou’ll want to begin stopping sooner than you would on dr y pav ement. Without anti-lock brakes , if you f ee l your v ehi cle begin to slide, let up on the brakes a little.
4-15 DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE 85Z14-03E Run your engine only as long as you must. This sav es fuel. When you run the engine, make it go a little faster than just idle. That is, push the accelerator slightly . This uses less fuel for the heat that you get and it keeps the batter y charged.
4-16 DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE 85Z14-03E Towing T owing Y our V ehicle Consult your SUZUKI dealer o r a profes- sional towing ser vice if you need to have your disab led vehicle towed.
4-17 DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE 85Z14-03E and shift to NEUTRAL (N). See “Shift- ing Out of Pa r k (P)” in Sectio n 2. 5) Clamp the steeri ng wheel in a straight- ahead position with a clamping device designed for to wi ng. 6) Release the par king brake .
4-18 DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE 85Z14-03E Actual weight of the loaded vehicle and actual loads at the fron t and rear axles can only be deter mined by weighing the v ehicle using a v ehicle scale . T o measure th e weight and load, tr y taking your vehicle to a highwa y weighing station, sh ipping com- pany or inspection station for trucks , etc.
4-19 DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE 85Z14-03E Determining Compatibili ty of Tire and V ehicle Lo ad Limits The tires on your v ehicle, when they are inflated to the recommend ed tire inflation pressure, ha ve a load-carr ying capacity that is greater than the load that will be on the tires when the ve hicle is at its GVWR or GA WR limit.
