Install removed parts in reverse order of removal procedure, not-
ing the following.
Tighten each clamp securely.
Refill cooling system with proper coolant referring to “COOL-
ING SYSTEM REFILL”.

Check thermostatic movement of wax pellet as follows :
a) Immerse thermostat (1) in water, and heat water gradually.
b) Check that valve starts to open at specific temperature.
Temperature at which valve begins to open
: 80 – 84°C (176 – 183°F)

If valve starts to open at a temperature substantially below or
above specific temperature, thermostat unit should be replaced
with a new one. Such a unit, if reused, will bring about overcool-
ing or overheating tendency.

Reverse removal procedure for installation noting the following
points.
When positioning thermostat (1) on thermostat case (2), be
sure to position it so that air bleed valve (3) comes at posi-
tion as shown in figure.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The main components of the fuel system are fuel tank, fuel pump assembly (with fuel filter, fuel level gauge, fuel
pressure regulator and tank pressure control valve), fuel/vapor separator fuel feed line and fuel vapor line.
For the details of fuel flow and fuel vapor flow, refer to “GENERAL DESCRIPTION” in Section 6E. 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).
CAUTION:
The engine of this vehicle requires the use of unleaded fuel only. Use of leaded and/or low lead fuel
can result in engine damage and reduce the effectiveness of the emission control system.
