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 air conditioning system of this vehicle uses refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a).
None of refrigerant, compressor oil and component parts is interchangeable between two types of
A/C : one using refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) and the other using refrigerant CFC-12 (R-12).
Be sure to check which refrigerant is used before any service work including inspection and mainte-
nance. For identification between these two types, refer to “REFRIGERANT TYPE” in this section.
When replenishing or changing refrigerant and compressor oil and when replacing parts, make sure
that the material or the part to be used is appropriate to the A/C installed in the vehicle being serviced.
Use of incorrect one will result in leakage of refrigerant, damage in parts or other faulty condition.
NOTE:
For basic servicing method of the air conditioning system that is not described in this section, refer to
“AIR CONDITIONING BASIC MANUAL (Part number : 99520-02130)”.

1B-10 AIR CONDITIONING (OPTIONAL)
PERFORMANCE DIAGNOSIS
1) Confirm that vehicle and environmental conditions are as fol-
lows.
Vehicle is not exposed to direct sun.
Ambient temperature is within 15 – 35°C (59 – 95°F).
2) Make sure that high pressure valve (1) and low pressure
valve (2) of manifold gauge set (3) are firmly closed.
3) Connect high pressure charging hose (4) to high pressure
service valve (5), and connect low pressure charging hose
(6) to low pressure service valve (7).
4) Bleed the air in charging hoses (4), (6) by loosening their
respective nuts on manifold gauge set (3), utilizing the refrig-
erant pressure. When a hissing sound is heard, immediately
tighten nut.
5) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature (engine
coolant temperature at 80 – 90°C (176 – 194°F)) and keep it
at specified idle speed. (Radiator cooling fan should not be
working when checking pressure and temperature.)
6) Turn A/C switch to ON position, and set blower fan switch at
“H” (4th position), temperature dial at “COOL”, air outlet con-
trol dial at “FACE” and fresh/recirculation control dial at
“RECIRCULATION”. (Confirm that A/C compressor and radi-
ator/condenser cooling fan are working.)
Keep all windows, doors and engine food open.

7) With dry bulb thermometer (1) inserted into center duct air
outlet and another one set near evaporator air inlet, read
temperature indicated on each thermometer. CAUTION:
Do not interchange high and low pressure charging
hoses by mistake.

REFRIGERANT RECOVERY, EVACUATING AND CHARGING
OPERATION PROCEDURE FOR REFRIGERANT CHARGING
WARNING:
 Your eyes should not be exposed to refrigerant (liquid).
Any liquid HFC-134a (R-134a) escaping by accident shows a temperature as low as approximately
–6°C (32°F) below freezing point. Should liquid HFC-134a (R-134a) get into your eyes, it may cause a
serious injury. To protect your eyes against such accident, it is necessary to always wear goggles.
Should it occur that HFC-134a (R-134a) strikes your eyes, consult a doctor immediately.
– Do not use your hand to rub the affected eye(s). Instead, use quantities of fresh cold water to
splash it over the affected area to gradually raise temperature of such area above freezing point.
– Obtain proper treatment as soon as possible from a doctor or eye specialist.
 Should the HFC-134a (R-134a) liquid come into contact with your skin, the affected area should be
treated in the same manner as when skin is frostbitten or frozen.
 Refrigerant must not be handled near where welding or steam cleaning is performed.
 Refrigerant should be kept at a cold and dark place. It should never be stored where a high temper-
ature is anticipated, e.g. where exposed to direct sun light, close to fire or inside vehicle (including
trunk room).
 Avoid breathing fumes produced when HFC-134a (R-134a) is burned. Such fumes may be hazard-
ous to health.
Replenish compressor oil
Start evacuating
Inspect and repair connections
Charge 360 ± 30 g of
refrigerant in gas form Stop evacuating 15 minutes (below –760 mmHg)
Wait 10 mintues
If gauge shows
abnormal conditions Check system for
pressure tightness
Check A/C system

Check system for refrigerant
leaks and refrigerant

RECOVERY
REFRIGERANT RECOVERY
When discharging refrigerant out of A/C system, always recover it
by using refrigerant recovery and recycling equipment. Discharg-
ing refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) into atmosphere would cause
adverse effect to environments.
REPLENISHING COMPRESSOR OIL
It is necessary to replenishing specified amount of compressor oil
to compressor (1) from compressor suction side hole (2) before
evacuating and charging refrigerant.
WHEN CHARGING REFRIGERANT ONLY
When charging refrigerant without replacing any component part,
replenish the same amount of measured oil when recover refrig-
erant (if not measure, replenish 30 cc oil).NOTE:
 After recovery refrigerant from system, the amount of
removed compressor oil must be measured for replen-
ishing compressor oil.
 When handling recovery and recycling equipment, be
sure to follow the instruction manual for the equip-
ment.

AIR CONDITIONING (OPTIONAL) 1B-23
1) Connect high charging hose (1) and low charging hose (2) of
manifold gauge set (3) respectively as follows :
High charging hose (1) → High pressure charging valve (4)
on condenser outlet pipe
Low charging hose (2) → Low pressure charging valve (5)
on suction pipe
2) Attach center charging hose (6) of manifold gauge set (3) to
vacuum pump (7).
3) Operate vacuum pump (7), and then open discharge side
valve (Hi) (8) of manifold gauge set (3).
If there is no blockage in the system, there will be an indica-
tion on high pressure gauge (9).
In this case, open the other side valve (Lo) (10) of the set
and repair the system.
4) Approximately 10 minutes later, low pressure gauge (11)
should show a vacuum lower than –760 mmHg providing no
leakage exists.
5) Evacuation should be carried out for a total of at least 15
minutes.
6) Continue evacuation until low pressure gauge (9) indicates a
vacuum less than –760 mmHg, and then close both valves
(8), (10).
7) Stop vacuum pump (7). Disconnect center charging hose (6)
from pump inlet. Now, the system is ready for charging
refrigerant.
CHECKING SYSTEM FOR PRESSURE LEAKS
After completing the evacuation, close manifold gauge high pres-
sure valve and low pressure valve and wait 10 minutes. Verify
that low pressure gauge reading has not changed.NOTE:
 If the system does not show a vacuum below –760
mmHg, close both valves, stop vacuum pump and
watch movement of low pressure gauge.
 Increase in the gauge reading suggests existence of
leakage. In this case, repair the system before continu-
ing its evacuation.
 If the gauge shows a stable reading (suggesting no
leakage), continue evacuation.
CAUTION:
If the gauge reading moves closer to “0”, there is a leak
somewhere. Inspect the tubing connections, make nec-
essary corrections, and evacuate system once again,
making sure that there are no leaks.
