0A-24 GENERAL INFORMATION
SYMBOLS
WIRE COLOR SYMBOLS
There are two kinds of colored wire used in this vehicle. One is
single-colored wire and the other is dual-colored (striped) wire.
The single-colored wire uses only one color symbol (i.e. “GRN”).
The dual-colored wire uses two color symbols (i.e. “GRN/YEL”).
The first symbol represents the base color of the wire (“GRN” in
the figure) and the second symbol represents the color of the
stripe (“YEL” in the figure). SYMBOL DEFINITION SYMBOL DEFINITION

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
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).

DRIVE BELT
WATER PUMP AND GENERATOR DRIVE BELT INSPEC-
TION
1) Disconnect negative (–) cable at battery.
2) Inspect belt for cracks, cuts, deformation, wear and cleanli-
ness. If any defect exists, replace.
Check belt for tension.
Water pump and generator belt tension
“a” : 4.5 - 5.5 mm (0.18 - 0.22 in.) deflection under 100 N
(10 kg, 22 lb) pressure
3) If belt is too tight or too loose, adjust it to specification by
adjusting alternator position.
4) Tighten alternator adjusting bolts and pivot bolt.
5) Connect negative (–) cable to battery.
WATER PUMP AND GENERATOR DRIVE BELT REPLACE-
MENT
Replace belt with new one referring to “WATER PUMP BELT” in
Section 6B.WARNING:
All inspection and replacement are to be performed with
ENGINE NOT RUNNING.
NOTE:
When replacing belt with a new one, adjust belt tension
to 3 - 4 mm (0.12 - 0.16 in.)

VALVE LASH (CLEARANCE)
INSPECTION
1) Inspect intake and exhaust valve lash and adjust as neces-
sary.
Refer to “VALVE LASH” in Section 6A1 for valve lash
inspection and adjustment procedure.
ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER
REPLACEMENT
Before draining engine oil, check engine for oil leakage. If any evi-
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
Section 0A and observe what in written there.
 Step 1) - 7) outlined below must be performed with
ENGINE NOT RUNNING. For step 8), be sure to have
adequate ventilation while engine is running.

MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 0B-7
1) Drain engine oil by removing drain plug.
2) After draining oil, wipe drain plug clean. Reinstall drain plug,
and tighten it securely as specified below.
Tightening torque
Engine oil drain plug (a) : 50 N·m (5.0 kg-m, 36.5 lb-ft)
3) Loosen oil filter by using oil filter wrench (special tool).
Special tool
(A) : 09915-47330
4) Screw new filter on oil filter stand by hand until the filter O-
ring contacts the mounting surface.
5) Tighten the filter (1) 3/4 turn from the point of contact with
the mounting surface using an oil filter wrench (2).
Tightening torque
Oil filter (b) : 14 N·m (1.4 kg-m, 10.5 lb-ft) (for reference)
NOTE:
Before fitting new oil filter, be sure to oil its O-ring. Use
engine oil for this purpose.
CAUTION:
To tighten oil filter properly, it is important to accurately
identify the position at which filter O-ring first contacts
the mounting surface.

0B-8 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
6) Replenish oil until oil level is brought to FULL level mark on
dipstick. (oil pan and oil filter capacity). The filler inlet is at
the top of the cylinder head cover.
It is recommended to use engine oil of SE, SF, SG, SH or SJ
grade. Select the appropriate oil viscosity according to the
proper engine oil viscosity chart [A].
Engine oil specification
7) Check oil filter and drain plug for oil leakage.
8) Start engine and run it for 3 minutes. Stop it and wait 5 min-
utes before checking oil level. Add oil, as necessary, to bring
oil level to FULL level mark on dipstick.
ENGINE COOLANT
REPLACEMENT
NOTE:
For ambient temperature between –20°C (–4°F) and 30°C
(86°F), it is highly recommended to use SAE 10W – 30 oil.
Oil pan capacity About 3.6 liters (7.6/6.3 US/lmp pt.)
Oil filter capacity About 0.2 liter (0.4/0.3 US/lmp pt.)
Others About 0.3 liter (0.6/0.5 US/lmp pt.)
Total About 4.1 liters (8.7/7.2 US/lmp pt.)
NOTE:
Engine oil capacity is specified. However, note that the
amount of oil required when actually changing oil may
somewhat differ from the data in the table depending on
various conditions (temperature, viscosity, etc.)
1. Full level mark (hole)
2. Low level mark (hole)
WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned, do not remove
radiator cap while engine and radiator are still hot. Scald-
ing fluid and steam can be blown out under pressure if
cap is taken off too soon.
