Precautions: Precautions for Diagnosing Trouble · Precautions for Servicing RBS System · Precautions for Removing / Installing and Replacing RBS Control Module · Precautions for Control Systems · General safety (00)
WARNING:
•RBS is a system to reduce the collision damage. Therefore, your vehicle may suffer a serious accident if accelerator pedal or brake pedal etc. is operated without care. It is necessary to pay enough attention for safety driving checking the surrounding traffic.
•Without observing the following precautions, a serious accident may occur by malfunction of RBS.
Procedure to disable RBS can be selected among RBS OFF switch (on-board), ESP® OFF switch (on-board) and ESP® OFF operation by SUZUKI scan tool (Suzuki SDT-II).
•Without observing the following precautions, a serious accident may occur by malfunction of RBS.
—Do not affix sticker including clear film over the millimeter wave radar cover located in front of the RBS control module.
—Do not drop or otherwise expose RBS control module to large shock. The RBS control module that has received large shock should be replaced.
—If peripheral component of the radiator grill is damaged, check the RBS control module and its bracket.
—When replacing radiator grill and millimeter wave radar cover, use SUZUKI genuine parts.
—Do not modify suspension. Modification of the vehicle’s height or inclination may affect correct detection of a vehicle ahead.
—Use tires of the specified size and same brand. Do not mix tires of different wear.
•Disable RBS when checking the vehicle on a brake tester or speedometer tester. Without disabling RBS, the system may malfunction.—Do not drop or otherwise expose RBS control module to large shock. The RBS control module that has received large shock should be replaced.
