GENERAL INFORMATION 0A-7
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
The WARNING and CAUTION below describe some general precautions that you should observe when servicing
a vehicle. These general precautions apply to many of the service procedures described in this manual, and they
will not necessarily be repeated with each procedure to which they apply.
WARNING:

Whenever raising a vehicle for service, be sure to follow the instructions under ªVEHICLE LIFTING
POINTSº on SECTION 0A.

When it is necessary to do service work with the engine running, make sure that the parking brake
is set fully and the transmission is in Neutral (for manual transmission vehicles) or Park (for automatic
transmission vehicles). Keep hands, hair, clothing, tools, etc. away from the fan and belts when the
engine is running.

When it is necessary to run the engine indoors, make sure that the exhaust gas is forced outdoors.

Do not perform service work in areas where combustible materials can come in contact with a hot
exhaust system. When working with toxic or flammable materials (such as gasoline and refrigerant),
make sure that the area you work in is well-ventilated.

To avoid getting burned, keep away from hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust manifold, tail-
pipe, muffler, etc.

New and used engine oil can be hazardous. Children and pets may be harmed by swallowing new or
used oil. Keep new and used oil and used engine oil filters away from children and pets.
Continuous contact with used engine oil has been found to cause [skin] cancer in laboratory animals.
Brief contact with used oil may irritate skin. To minimize your exposure to used engine oil, wear a
long-sleeve shirt and moisture-proof gloves (such as dishwashing gloves) when changing engine oil.
If engine oil contacts your skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water. Launder any clothing or rags
if wet with oil, recycle or properly dispose of used oil and filters.

Make sure the bonnet is fully closed and latched before driving. If it is not, it can fly up unexpectedly
during driving, obstructing your view and resulting in an accident.
CAUTION:

Before starting any service work, cover fenders, seats and
any other parts that are likely to get scratched or stained dur-
ing servicing. Also, be aware that what you wear (e.g, but-
tons) may cause damage to the vehicle's finish.

When performing service to electrical parts that does not re-
quire use of battery power, disconnect the negative cable of
the battery.

STANDARD TIGHTENING TORQUE
Each fastener should be tightened to the torque specified in each section of this manual. If no description or specifi-
cation is provided, refer to the following tightening torque chart for the applicable torque for each fastener. When
a fastener of greater strength than the original one is used, however, use the torque specified for the original fasten-
er.
NOTE:

For the flanged bolt, flanged nut and self-lock nut of 4T and 7T strength, add 10% to the tightening torque
given in the chart below.

The chart below is applicable only where the fastened parts are made of steel or light alloy.

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).
