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).

MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 0B-13
BRAKE DRUMS AND SHOES (REAR)
INSPECTION
1) Remove wheel and brake drum.
2) Check rear brake drums and brake linings for excessive
wear and damage, while wheels and drums are removed. At
the same time, check wheel cylinders for leaks. Replace
these parts as necessary.
For details, refer to “BRAKE DRUM” in Section 5.
BRAKE HOSES AND PIPES
INSPECTION
Perform this inspection where these is enough light and use a
mirror as necessary.
Check brake hoses and pipes for proper hookup, leaks,
cracks, chafing and other damage.
Check that hoses and pipes are clear of sharp edges and
moving parts.
Repair or replace any of these parts as necessary.
BRAKE FLUID
REPLACEMENT
Change brake fluid as follows.
Drain existing fluid from brake system completely, fill system with
specified fluid and carry out air purge operation.
For air purging procedure, refer to “BLEEDING BRAKES” in Sec-
tion 5.
BRAKE LEVER AND CABLE
INSPECTION
1) Inspect brake cable for damage and smooth movement.
Replace cable if it is in deteriorated condition.
CAUTION:
After replacing any brake pipe or hose, be sure to carry
out air purge operation.

MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 0B-21
STEERING
Check to ensure that steering wheel is free from instability, or abnormally heavy feeling.
Check that the vehicle does not wander or pull to one side.
ENGINE
Check that engine responds readily at all speeds.
Check that engine is free from abnormal noise and abnormal vibration.
BODY, WHEELS AND POWER TRANSMITTING SYSTEM
Check that body, wheels and power transmitting system are free from abnormal noise and abnormal vibration or
any other abnormal condition.
METERS AND GAUGE
Check that speedometer, odometer, fuel meter, temperature gauge, etc. are operating accurately.
LIGHTS
Check that all lights operate properly.
WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER
Periodically check that air comes out from defroster outlet when operating heater or air conditioning.
Set mode control lever to defroster position and fan switch lever to “HI” position for this check.
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS
