2000 SUZUKI SWIFT seats

GENERAL INFORMATION 0A-7
 Before starting any service work, cover fenders, seats
and any other parts that are likely to get scratched or
stained during servicing. Also, be aware that what you
wear (e.g, buttons) may cause damage to the vehicle’s
finish.
 When performing service to electrical parts that does
not require use of battery power, disconnect the nega-
tive cable of the battery.
 When removing the battery, be sure to disconnect the
negative cable first and then the positive cable. When
reconnecting the battery, connect the positive cable first
and then the negative cable, and replace the terminal
cover.
 When removing parts that are to be reused, be sure to
keep them arranged in an orderly manner so that they
may be reinstalled in the proper order and position.
 Whenever you use oil seals, gaskets, packing, O-rings,
locking washers, split pins, self-locking nuts, and cer-
tain other parts as specified, be sure to use new ones.
Also, before installing new gaskets, packing, etc., be
sure to remove any residual material from the mating
surfaces.

MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 0B-19
ALL LATCHES, HINGES AND LOCKS
INSPECTION
DOORS
Check that each door of front, rear and back doors opens and
closes smoothly and locks securely when closed.
If any malfunction is found, lubricate hinge and latch or repair
door lock system.
ENGINE HOOD
Check that secondary latch operates properly (check that sec-
ondary latch keeps hood from opening all the way even when
pulling hood release handle inside vehicle.) Also check that hood
opens and closes smoothly and properly and hood locks securely
when closed.
If any malfunction is found, lubricate hinge and latch, or repair
hood lock system.
FINAL INSPECTION
SEATS
Check that seat slides smoothly and locks securely at any position. Also check that reclining mechanism of front
seat back allows it to be locked at any angle.
SEAT BELT
Inspect belt system including webbing, buckles, latch plates, retractors and anchors for damage or wear.
Check that seat belt is securely locked. If “REPLACE BELT” label on front seat belt is visible, replace belt.
BATTERY ELECTROLYTE LEVEL CHECK
Check that the electrolyte level of all battery cells is between the upper and lower level lines on the case. If bat-
tery is equipped with built-in indicator, check battery condition by the indicator.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL OPERATION
Check that pedal operates smoothly without getting caught or interfered by any other part.
WARNING:
When carrying out road tests, select a safe place where no man or no running vehicle is seen so as to
prevent any accident.

AIR CONDITIONING (OPTIONAL) 1B-27
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
SERVICE PRECAUTION
When servicing air conditioning system, note the following instructions.
REFRIGERANT LINE
Never use heat for bending pipes. When bending a pipe, try to make its bending radius as slight as possible.
Keep internal parts of air conditioning free from moisture and dirt. When disconnecting any line from system,
install a blind plug or cap to the fitting immediately.
When connecting hoses and pipes, apply a few drops of compressor oil (refrigerant oil) to seats of coupling
nuts and O-ring.
When tightening or loosening a fitting, use two wrenches, one for turning and the other for support.
Tighten flared nuts by the following specified torque.
Tightening torque
8 mm pipe : 13 N·m (1.3 kg-m, 9.5 lb-ft)
12 mm pipe : 23 N·m (2.3 kg-m, 16.6 lb-ft)
14.5 mm pipe : 33 N·m (3.3 kg-m, 23.8 lb-ft) WARNING:
Should refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a) strike your eye(s), consult a doctor immediately.
 Do not use your hand to rub affected eye(s). Instead, use quantities of fresh cold water to splash it
over affected area to thus gradually raise its temperature above the freezing point.
 Obtain proper treatment as soon as possible from a doctor or eye specialist. Should liquid refriger-
ant HFC-134a (R-134a) get on your skin, such affected part should be treated in the same manner as
when skin is frostbitten or frozen.
1. Suction hose:
Apply compressor oil (refrigerant oil) to O-ring.4. Expansion valve:
Apply compressor oil (refrigerant oil) to O-ring.
2. Discharge hose:
Apply compressor oil (refrigerant oil) to O-ring.5. A/C refrigerant pressure switch:
Apply compressor oil (refrigerant oil) to O-ring.
3. Condenser outlet pipe:
Apply compressor oil (refrigerant oil) to O-ring.

3F-8 WHEELS AND TIRES
TIRE
MOUNTING AND DISMOUNTING
Use a tire changing machine to mount or dismount tires. Follow equipment manufacturer’s instructions. Do not
use hand tools or tire irons alone to change tires as they may damage tire beads or wheel rim.
Rim bead seats should be cleaned with a wire brush or coarse steel wool to remove lubricants, old rubber and
light rust. Before mounting or dismounting a tire, bead area should be well lubricated with approved tire lubri-
cant.
After mounting, inflate to specified pressure shown on tire placard so that beads are completely seated.
Install valve core and inflate to proper pressure.
REPAIR
There are many different materials and techniques on the market to repair tires. As not all of these work on all
types of tires, tire manufacturers have published detailed instructions on how and when to repair tires. These
instructions can be obtained from each tire manufacturer.WARNING:
Do not stand over tire when inflating. Bead may break when bead snaps over rim’s safety hump and
cause serious personal injury.
Do not exceed specified pressure when inflating. If specified pressure will not seat beads, deflate, re-
lubricate and reinflate.
Over inflation may cause bead to break and cause serious personal injury.

6A1-50 ENGINE MECHANICAL (M13 ENGINE)
Valve seat repair:
A valve seat not producing a uniform contact with its valve or
showing width of seating contact that is out of specified
range must be repaired by regrinding or by cutting and
regrinding and finished by lapping.
a) EXHAUST VALVE SEAT : Use valve seat cutters (1) to
make two cuts as illustrated in figure. Two cutters must be
used: the first for making 15° angle, and the second for
making 45° angle. The second cut must be made to pro-
duce desired seat width.
Seat width for exhaust valve seat
“a” : 1.1 – 1.3 mm (0.0433 – 0.0512 in.)
b) INTAKE VALVE SEAT : Use valve seat cutters to make
three cuts as illustrated in figure. Three cutters must be
used: the 1st for making 15° angle, the 2nd for making 60°
angle, and 3rd for making 45° angle. The 3rd cut (45°) must
be made to produce desired seat width.
Seat width for intake valve seat
“b” : 1.1 – 1.3 mm (0.0433 – 0.0512 in.)
c) VALVE LAPPING : Lap valve on seat in two steps, first with
coarse size lapping compound applied to face and the sec-
ond with fine-size compound, each time using valve lapper
according to usual lapping method.
Cylinder Head
Remove all carbon deposits from combustion chambers.
NOTE:
Do not use any sharp-edged tool to scrape off carbon
deposits. Be careful not to scuff or nick metal surfaces
when decarbonizing. The same applies to valves and
valve seats, too.
