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).
NOTE:
For the descriptions (items) not found in this section, refer to the same section of Service Manual men-
tioned in FOREWORD of this manual.

er apron extension (1) on right side.
NOTE:
Do not push center pin (3) too far in, or it will fall off into
fender.
4) Remove air cleaner assembly as previously outlined.
5) Remove A / C compressor drive belt, if equipped.

1. Camshaft allowable turning range – – – By timing
mark, within 90 from “V” mark on head cover on
both right and left.
2. Crankshaft allowable turning range – – – by punch
mark, within 90 from arrow mark on oil pump case
on both right and left.
CAUTION:
After timing belt is removed, never turn camshaft and crank-
shaft independently more than such an extent as shown be-
low. If turned, interference may occur among piston and
valves, and parts related to piston and valves may be dam-
aged.
12) Remove tensioner, tensioner plate, tensioner spring and
spring damper.
INSPECTION
Check timing belt for wear or crack. Replace it as necessary.
Check tensioner for smooth rotation and rattle.
INSTALLATION
1) Install tensioner plate (1) to tensioner (2).
Insert lug (3) of tensioner plate into hole (4) of tensioner.
2) Install tensioner (2) and tensioner plate (3).
Do not tighten the tensioner bolt (1) and stud by wrench yet.
Hand tighten only at this time.
Check to ensure that plate movement in arrow direction as
shown in figure causes tensioner to move in the same direction.
If no associated movement between plate and tensioner occurs,
remove tensioner and plate again and reinsert the plate lug into
tensioner hole.
