WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with Supplement 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 DIAGNOSIS 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 SERVICE
PRECAUTIONS under PRECAUTIONS 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 unin-
tentional activation of the system or could render the system inoperative. Either of these two condi-
tions 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).
NOTE:
Starting motor varies depending on specifications, etc. Therefore, be sure to check model and speci-
fication of the vehicle being serviced before replacing parts.
