dence of leakage is found, make sure to correct defective part
before proceeding to the following work.
1. Camshaft
2. Thickness gauge
WARNING:
New and used engine oil can be hazardous.
Be sure to read “WARNING” in General Precaution in

MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 0B-19
ALL LATCHES, HINGES AND LOCKS
INSPECTION
DOORS
Check that each door of front, rear and back doors opens and
closes smoothly and locks securely when closed.
If any malfunction is found, lubricate hinge and latch or repair
door lock system.
ENGINE HOOD
Check that secondary latch operates properly (check that sec-
ondary latch keeps hood from opening all the way even when
pulling hood release handle inside vehicle.) Also check that hood
opens and closes smoothly and properly and hood locks securely
when closed.
If any malfunction is found, lubricate hinge and latch, or repair
hood lock system.
FINAL INSPECTION
SEATS
Check that seat slides smoothly and locks securely at any position. Also check that reclining mechanism of front
seat back allows it to be locked at any angle.
SEAT BELT
Inspect belt system including webbing, buckles, latch plates, retractors and anchors for damage or wear.
Check that seat belt is securely locked. If “REPLACE BELT” label on front seat belt is visible, replace belt.
BATTERY ELECTROLYTE LEVEL CHECK
Check that the electrolyte level of all battery cells is between the upper and lower level lines on the case. If bat-
tery is equipped with built-in indicator, check battery condition by the indicator.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL OPERATION
Check that pedal operates smoothly without getting caught or interfered by any other part.
WARNING:
When carrying out road tests, select a safe place where no man or no running vehicle is seen so as to
prevent any accident.

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
authorized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to “Air Bag System Components and Wiring Location View” under
“General Description” in air bag system section in order to confirm whether you are performing ser-
vice on or near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARNINGS and “Ser-
vice Precautions” under “On-Vehicle Service” 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
“LOCK” 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).
CAUTION:
The air conditioning system of this vehicle uses refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a).
None of refrigerant, compressor oil and component parts is interchangeable between two types of
A/C : one using refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) and the other using refrigerant CFC-12 (R-12).
Be sure to check which refrigerant is used before any service work including inspection and mainte-
nance. For identification between these two types, refer to “REFRIGERANT TYPE” in this section.
When replenishing or changing refrigerant and compressor oil and when replacing parts, make sure
that the material or the part to be used is appropriate to the A/C installed in the vehicle being serviced.
Use of incorrect one will result in leakage of refrigerant, damage in parts or other faulty condition.
NOTE:
For basic servicing method of the air conditioning system that is not described in this section, refer to
“AIR CONDITIONING BASIC MANUAL (Part number : 99520-02130)”.

ABNORMAL NOISE DIAGNOSIS
There are various types of noise, ranging from those produced in the engine compartment to those from the
passenger compartment, also from rumbling noises to whistling noises.
ABNORMAL NOISE FROM COMPRESSOR
ABNORMAL NOISE FROM MAGNETIC CLUTCH
ABNORMAL NOISE FROM TUBING
ABNORMAL NOISE FROM CONDENSER
Condition Possible Cause Correction
During compressor
operation, a rumbling
noise is heard propor-
tional to engine
revolutions.Inadequate clearance in piston area (piston or
swash-plate)Repair or replace compressor as
necessary.
A loud noise is heard
at a certain rpm, dis-
proportionately to
engine revolution.Loose or faulty compressor drive belt Adjust drive belt tension, or replace
drive belt.
Loose compressor mounting bolts Retighten mounting bolts.
A loud rattle is heard
at low engine rpm.Loose compressor clutch plate bolt Retighten clutch plate bolt.
Replace compressor if it was oper-
ated in this condition for a long
time.
Condition Possible Cause Correction
A rumbling noise is
heard when compres-
sor is not operating.Worn or damaged bearings Replace magnet clutch assembly.
A chattering noise is
heard when compres-
sor is engaged.Faulty clutch clearance (excessive) Adjust clutch clearance.
Worn clutch friction surface Replace magnet clutch assembly.

taminating the friction surfaceReplace compressor body assem-
bly.
Condition Possible Cause Correction

heard inside vehicle,
but not particularly
noticeable in engine
compartment.Faulty tubing clamps Reposition clamps or increase the
number of clamps.

AIR CONDITIONING (OPTIONAL) 1B-15
COMPRESSOR DRIVE BELT
INSPECTION
Check compressor drive belt (6) for wear and cracks, and
replace as required.
Check compressor drive belt (6) tension by measuring how
much it deflects when pushed at intermediate point between
compressor pulley (1) and tension pulley (2) with about 100
N (10 kg) force after crankshaft pulley 1 rotating.
If belt tension is without specification, adjust belt tension
referring to below procedures.
Compressor drive belt tension
“a” : 3 – 5 mm (0.12 – 0.20 in.)
New compressor drive belt tension
“a” : 2 – 4 mm (0.08 – 0.16 in.)
ADJUSTMENT
1) Loosen tension pulley nut (3).
2) Adjust belt tension by tighten or loosen tension pulley adjust-
ing bolt (4).
3) Tighten tension pulley nut (3).
4) Turn the crank pulley (5) 1 revolution, then check belt ten-
sion.
REPLACEMENT
1) Loosen tension pulley nut (3).
2) Loosen belt tension by loosen tension pulley adjusting bolt
(4).
3) Remove compressor drive belt (6).
4) Install new compressor drive belt.
5) Adjust belt tension referring to above procedure.
