5) When routing the top strap, be sure to
pass the top strap as shown in the illus-
tration. For SX4 SEDAN, if the top strap
cannot be properly tightened when
passed under the head restraint as
shown in the Type 1 and Type 2 illustra-
tions, pass the top strap over the top of
the head restraint as shown in the Type
3 illustration. (Refer to “Head
Restraints” section for details on how to
raise or lower the head restraint.)
6) Make sure that cargo does not interfere
with routing of the top strap.
Seat Belt Extender
65D613
(1) Center of body
(2) Less than 152 mm (6 inches)
(3) Open end of extender buckle
If a seat belt cannot be fastened securely
because it is not long enough, see your
authorized SUZUKI dealer for a seat belt
extender. Seat belt extenders are available
for each seating position except for the
rear center position. After inspecting the
relationship between the seat belt length,
the occupant’s body size, and the seat
adjustment (the driver’s seat should always
be adjusted as far back as possible while
still maintaining control of the vehicle, and
other adjustable seats should be adjusted
as far back as possible), your dealer can
select the appropriate seat belt extender.
A seat belt extender should only be used
for the person, vehicle and seating loca-
tion it was provided for.
When using the extender, ensure that
both ends are latched securely. Do not
use the extender if the open end of the
extender’s buckle is within 152 mm (6
inches) of the center of the occupant’s
body (See diagram). Use of the extender
when the buckle is too close to the cen-
ter of the body could increase the risk of
abdominal injury in the event of an acci-
dent, and could cause the shoulder belt
to be positioned incorrectly.
Make sure to use the correct buckle cor-
responding to your seating position.
Seat belt extenders are not intended for
use by pregnant women, and should
only be used upon approval by their
medical advisors.
Remove and stow the extender when it
is not being used.
