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)”.

REFRIGERANT RECOVERY, EVACUATING AND CHARGING
OPERATION PROCEDURE FOR REFRIGERANT CHARGING
WARNING:
 Your eyes should not be exposed to refrigerant (liquid).
Any liquid HFC-134a (R-134a) escaping by accident shows a temperature as low as approximately
–6°C (32°F) below freezing point. Should liquid HFC-134a (R-134a) get into your eyes, it may cause a
serious injury. To protect your eyes against such accident, it is necessary to always wear goggles.
Should it occur that HFC-134a (R-134a) strikes your eyes, consult a doctor immediately.
– Do not use your hand to rub the affected eye(s). Instead, use quantities of fresh cold water to
splash it over the affected area to gradually raise temperature of such area above freezing point.
– Obtain proper treatment as soon as possible from a doctor or eye specialist.
 Should the HFC-134a (R-134a) liquid come into contact with your skin, the affected area should be
treated in the same manner as when skin is frostbitten or frozen.
 Refrigerant must not be handled near where welding or steam cleaning is performed.
 Refrigerant should be kept at a cold and dark place. It should never be stored where a high temper-
ature is anticipated, e.g. where exposed to direct sun light, close to fire or inside vehicle (including
trunk room).
 Avoid breathing fumes produced when HFC-134a (R-134a) is burned. Such fumes may be hazard-
ous to health.
Replenish compressor oil
Start evacuating
Inspect and repair connections
Charge 360 ± 30 g of
refrigerant in gas form Stop evacuating 15 minutes (below –760 mmHg)
Wait 10 mintues
If gauge shows
abnormal conditions Check system for
pressure tightness
Check A/C system

Check system for refrigerant
leaks and refrigerant
charging quantity
Performance test

1B-28 AIR CONDITIONING (OPTIONAL)
Route drain hose so that drained water does not make any contact to vehicle components.
If pipes or hoses are replaced, replenish specified amount of compressor oil to compressor suction side by
referring to “REPLENISHING COMPRESSOR OIL” in this section.
HANDLING REFRIGERANT HFC-134a (R-134a)
Always wear goggles to protect your eyes.
Avoid you direct contact to liquid refrigerant.
Do not heat refrigerant container higher than 40°C (104°F).
Do not discharge refrigerant into atmosphere.
Do not allow liquid refrigerant to touch bright metals. Refrigerant combined with moisture is corrosive and
will tarnish surfaces of bright metals including chrome.
REFRIGERANT RECOVERY
When discharging refrigerant out of A/C system, always recover it by using refrigerant recovery and recycling
equipment. Discharging refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) into atmosphere would cause adverse effect to environ-
ments.
REFRIGERANT CHARGE
After perform replenishing compressor oil and evacuating, charge a proper amount of refrigerant to A/C system
referring to “CHARGING” in this section.
CONDENSER ASSEMBLY
INSPECTION
Check the following.
Clog of condenser fins.
If, any clogs are found, condenser fins should be washed
with water, and should be dried with compressed air.
Condenser fins for leakage and breakage.
If any defects are found, repair or replace condenser.
Condenser fittings for leakage.
If any defects are found, repair or replace condenser. CAUTION:
Do not perform an additional refrigerant charging to A/C system. This cause it to overcharge.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage condenser fins. If condenser fin
is bent, straighten it by using flat head screwdriver or
pair of pliers.

AIR CONDITIONING (OPTIONAL) 1B-31
Tighten receiver/dryer cap to specified torque
Tightening torque
Receiver / dryer cap : 13 N·m (1.3 kg-m, 9.5 lb-ft)
Replenish specified amount of compressor oil to compressor
suction side by referring to “REPLENISHING COMPRES-
SOR OIL” in this section.
RADIATOR/CONDENSER COOLING FAN
MOTOR
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
For details, refer to “RADIATOR” in Section 6B.
INSPECTION
1) Check continuity terminal “a” – “b” and “c” – “d” about the
radiator/condenser cooling fan motor (1).
If check results are no continuity, replace radiator/condenser
cooling fan motor.
2) Check no continuity “a” – “c” and “b” – “d” about the radiator/
condenser cooling fan motor (1).
If check result are continuity, replace radiator/condenser
cooling fan motor.
3) Connect battery to radiator/condenser cooling fan motor ter-
minal “a” – “b” and “c” – “d” as shown in figure, then check
that the radiator/condenser cooling fan motor operates
smoothly.
Reference current of radiator/condenser cooling fan
motor at 12 V
“a” – “b” : 7.8 – 11.8 A
“c” – “d” : 4.8 – 8.8 A

AIR CONDITIONING (OPTIONAL) 1B-33
4) Remove fresh air control cable (1) and A/C evaporator tem-
perature sensor coupler.
5) Disconnect suction hose (1) and condenser outlet hose (2)
by removing attaching bolt (3).
6) Remove cooling unit mounting nuts (4) and screws (5).
7) Remove cooling unit (6).
INSPECTION
Check the following.
Clog of A/C evaporator fins.
If any clogs are found, A/C evaporator fins should be
washed with water, and should be dried with compressed
air.
A/C evaporator fins for leakage and breakage.
If any defects are found, repair or replace A/C evaporator.
A/C evaporator fittings for leakage.
If any defects are found, repair or replace A/C evaporator.
INSTALLATION
Reverse removal procedure to install cooling unit noting the fol-
lowing instructions.
If A/C evaporator temperature sensor removed, its should be
reinstalled in original position.
Replenish specified amount of compressor oil to compressor
suction side by referring to “REPLENISHING COMPRES-
SOR OIL” in this section.
Install uniformly the packing (1) to installation hole.
Evacuate and charge refrigerant by referring to “EVACUAT-
ING” and “CHARGING” in this section.
Adjust fresh air control cable, refer to “HEATER LEVER
ASSEMBLY” in Section 1A.
