WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag) System:

Service on and around the air bag system components or wiring must be performed only by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to ªAir Bag System Components and Wiring Location Viewº under ªGener-
al Descriptionº in air bag system section in order to confirm whether you are performing service on
or near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARNINGS and ªService Precau-
tionsº under ªOn-Vehicle Serviceº in air bag system section before performing service on or around
the air bag system components or wiring. Failure 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.

Technical service work must be started at least 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the
ªLOCKº position and the negative cable is disconnected from the battery. Otherwise, the system may
be activated by reserve energy in the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This automatic transmission is a full automatic type with 3-speed plus overdrive (O / D).
The torque converter is a 3-element, 1-step and 2-phase type and is equipped with an electronically controlled
lock-up mechanism. The gear shift device consists of 3 sets of planetary gear units, 3 disc type clutches, 4 disc
type brakes and 3 one-way clutches. The gear shift is done by selecting one of 6 positions (ªPº, ªRº, ªNº, ªDº, ª2º
and ªLº) by means of the select lever installed on the floor. On the shift knob, there is an overdrive (O / D) cut switch
which allows shift-up to the overdrive mode (except at 4L) and shift-down from the overdrive mode. Also, by using
the P / N change switch located on the console box, it is possible to select the gear change timing of 2 modes, nor-
mal and power.
