When disconnecting vacuum hoses, attach a tag
describing the correct installation positions so that the
hoses can be reinstalled correctly.
After servicing fuel, oil, coolant, vacuum, exhaust or
brake systems, check all lines related to the system for
leaks.
For vehicles equipped with fuel injection systems, never
disconnect the fuel line between the fuel pump and
injector without first releasing the fuel pressure, or fuel
can be sprayed out under pressure.
When performing a work that produces a heat exceeding
80°C (176°F) in the vicinity of the electrical parts, remove
the heat sensitive electrical part(s) beforehand.

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.
