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).

DISMOUNTING
1) Disconnect negative cable (1).
2) Disconnect positive cable (2).
3) Remove retainer (3).
4) Remove battery (4).
HANDLING
When handling battery, following safety precautions should be
followed:
Hydrogen gas is produced by battery. A flame or spark near
battery may cause the gas to ignite.
Battery fluid is highly acidic. Avoid spilling on clothing or
other fabric. Any spilled electrolyte should be flushed with
large quantity of water and cleaned immediately.
REMOUNTING
1) Reverse removal procedure.
2) Torque battery cables to specification.

6K-2 EXHAUST SYSTEM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The exhaust system consists of an exhaust manifold, three-way catalytic converter (TWC) in catalyst case,
exhaust pipes, a muffler and seals, gasket and etc.
The three-way catalytic converter is an emission control device added to the exhaust system to lower the levels
of Hydrocarbon (HC), Carbon Monoxide (CO), and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) pollutants in the exhaust gas.
MAINTENANCE
At every interval of periodic maintenance service, and when vehi-
cle is raised for other service, check exhaust system as follows:
Check rubber mountings for damage, deterioration, and out
of position.
Check exhaust system for leakage, loose connection, dent
and damage.
If bolts or nuts are loosened, tighten them to specified
torque.
Refer to “GENERAL DESCRIPTION”.
Check nearby body areas damaged, missing, or misposi-
tioned part, open seam, hole connection or any other defect
which could permit exhaust fumes to seep into vehicle.
Make sure that exhaust system components have enough
clearance from underbody to avoid overheating and possible
damage to passenger compartment carpet.
Any defect should be fixed at once. WARNING:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not touch the
exhaust system when the system is hot. Any service on
the exhaust system should be performed when the sys-
tem is cool.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
Refer to Section 6A1 for removal and installation procedures of exhaust manifold.
INSPECTION
Check gasket and seal for deterioration or damage.
Replace them as necessary.
EXHAUST PIPE
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
For replacement of exhaust pipe, be sure to hoist vehicle and observe WARNING under “MAINTENANCE” and
the following.
Tighten bolts and nuts to specified torque when reassembling. Refer to “GENERAL DESCRIPTION” for
location of bolts and nuts.
After installation, start engine and check each joint of exhaust system for leakage. CAUTION:
Exhaust pipe have three way catalytic converter in it, it should not be exposed to any impulse.
Be careful not to drop it or hit it against something.
