0A-6 GENERAL INFORMATION
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
The WARNING and CAUTION below describe some general precautions that you should observe when servicing
a vehicle. These general precautions apply to many of the service procedures described in this manual, and they
will not necessarily be repeated with each procedure to which they apply.
WARNING:

Whenever raising a vehicle for service, be sure to follow the instructions under “VEHICLE LIFTING
POINTS” on SECTION 0A.

When it is necessary to do service work with the engine running, make sure that the parking brake
is set fully and the transmission is in Neutral (for manual transmission vehicles) or Park (for automatic
transmission vehicles). Keep hands, hair, clothing, tools, etc. away from the fan and belts when the
engine is running.

When it is necessary to run the engine indoors, make sure that the exhaust gas is forced outdoors.

Do not perform service work in areas where combustible materials can come in contact with a hot
exhaust system. When working with toxic or flammable materials (such as gasoline and refrigerant),
make sure that the area you work in is well-ventilated.

To avoid getting burned, keep away from hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust manifold, tail-
pipe, muffler, etc.

New and used engine oil can be hazardous. Children and pets may be harmed by swallowing new or
used oil. Keep new and used oil and used engine oil filters away from children and pets.
Continuous contact with used engine oil has been found to cause [skin] cancer in laboratory animals.
Brief contact with used oil may irritate skin. To minimize your exposure to used engine oil, wear a
long-sleeve shirt and moisture-proof gloves (such as dish washing gloves) when changing engine
oil. If engine oil contacts your skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water. Launder any clothing or
rags if wet with oil, recycle or properly dispose of used oil and filters.

Make sure the bonnet is fully closed and latched before driving. If it is not, it can fly up unexpectedly
during driving, obstructing your view and resulting in an accident.
CAUTION:

Before staring any service work, cover fenders, seats and
any other parts that are likely to get scratched or stained dur-
ing servicing. Also, be aware that what you wear (e.g. but-
tons) may cause damage to the vehicle’s finish.

When performing service to electrical parts that does not re-
quire use of battery power, disconnect the negative cable of
the battery.

GENERAL INFORMATION 0A-9

Always be careful not to handle electrical parts (computer,
relay, etc.) in a rough manner or drop them.
PRECAUTIONS FOR CATALYTIC CONVERTER
For vehicles equipped with a catalytic converter, use only un-
leaded gasoline and be careful not to let a large amount of un-
burned gasoline enter the converter or it can be damaged.
–Conduct a spark jump test only when necessary, make it as
short as possible, and do not open the throttle.
–Conduct engine compression checks within the shortest
possible time.
–Avoid situations which can result in engine misfire (e.g.
starting the engine when the fuel tank is nearly empty.).
PRECAUTIONS FOR ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT
SERVICE

When replacing a fuse, make sure to use a fuse of the speci-
fied capacity. Use of a fuse with a larger capacity will cause
a damage to the electrical parts and a fire.

When disconnecting and connecting coupler, make sure to
turn ignition switch OFF, or electronic parts may get dam-
aged.

0A-20 GENERAL INFORMATION
VEHICLE LIFTING POINTS
WARNING:

Before applying hoist to underbody, always take vehicle balance throughout service into consider-
ation. Vehicle balance on hoist may change depending of what part to be removed.

Before lifting up the vehicle, check to be sure that end of hoist arm is not in contact with brake pipe,
fuel pipe, bracket or any other part.

When using frame contact hoist, apply hoist as shown (right and left at the same position). Lift up the
vehicle till 4 tires are a little off the ground and make sure that the vehicle will not fall off by trying to
move vehicle body in both ways. Work can be started only after this confirmation.

Make absolutely sure to lock hoist after vehicle is hoisted up.

When using floor jack:
GENERAL INFORMATION 0A-21
In raising front or rear vehicle end off the floor by jacking, be sure
to put the jack against the center portion of front cross member (1)
or rear cross member (2).
WARNING:

Never apply jack against suspension parts (i.e., stabilizer,
etc.) or vehicle floor, or it may get deformed.

If the vehicle to be jacked up only at the front or rear end,
be sure to block the wheels on ground in order to ensure
safety.
After the vehicle is jacked up, be sure to support it on
stands. It is extremely dangerous to do any work on the
vehicle raised on jack alone.
To perform service with either front or rear vehicle end jacked up,
be sure to place safety stands under body so that body is securely
supported. And then check to ensure that body does not slide on
safety stands and the vehicle is held stable for safety’s sake.

SECTION 0B
MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
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 autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to “Air Bag System Components and Wiring Location View” under “Gener-
al Description” in air bag system section in order to confirm whether you are performing service on
or near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARNINGS and “Service Precau-
tions” 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).
