WARNING / CAUTION / NOTE
Please read this manual and follow its instructions
carefully. To emphasize special information, the
words WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE have spe-
cial meanings. Pay special attention to the messages
highlighted by these signal words.
NOTE:
Indicates special information to make mainte-
nance easier or instructions clearer.
WARNING:
Indicates a potential hazard that could result
in death or injury.
CAUTION:
Indicates a potential hazard that could result
in vehicle damage.
WARNING:
This service manual is intended for authorized
SUZUKI dealers and qualified service me-
chanics only. Inexperienced mechanics or
mechanics without the proper tools and
equipment may not be able to properly per-
form the services described in this manual.
Improper repair may result in injury to the me-
chanic and may render the vehicle unsafe for
the driver and passengers.

GENERAL INFORMATION 0A-5
CAUTION:

Even when the accident was light enough not to cause air
bags to deploy, be sure to inspect system parts and other
related parts according to instructions under “Repair and
Inspection Required after an Accident” in Section 9J.

When servicing parts other than air bag system, if shocks
may be applied to air bag system component parts, re-
move those parts beforehand.

When handling the air bag (inflator) modules (driver and
passenger) or SDM, be careful not to drop it or apply an im-
pact to it. If an excessive impact was applied (e.g.,
dropped from a height of 91.4 cm (3 feet) or more), never
attempt disassembly or repair but replace it with a new
one.

When grease, cleaning agent, oil, water, etc. has got onto
air bag (inflator) modules (driver and passenger), wipe off
immediately with a dry cloth.

Air bag wire harness can be identified easily as it is cov-
ered with a yellow protection tube. Be very careful when
handling it.

When an open in air bag wire harness, damaged wire har-
ness, connector or terminal is found, replace wire har-
ness, connectors and terminals as an assembly.

Do not apply power to the air bag system unless all com-
ponents are connected or a diagnostic chart requests it,
as this will set a diagnostic trouble code.

Never use air bag system component parts from another
vehicle.

When using electric welding, be sure to temporarily dis-
able air bag system referring to “Disabling Air Bag Sys-
tem” under “Service Precaution” in Section 9J.

Never expose air bag system component parts directly to
hot air (drying or baking the vehicle after painting) or
flames.

WARNING / CAUTION labels are attached on each part of
air bag system components. Be sure to follow the instruc-
tions.

After vehicle is completely repaired, perform “Air Bag
Diagnostic System Check” described in “Diagnosis” in
Section 9J.

1. Check contact tension by inserting and removing just once
2. Check each terminal for bend and proper alignment
GENERAL INFORMATION 0A-15
INTERMITTENT AND POOR CONNECTION
Most intermittent are caused by faulty electrical connections or wir-
ing, although a sticking relay or solenoid can occasionally be at
fault. When checking it for proper connection, perform careful
check of suspect circuits for:

Poor mating of connector halves, or terminals not fully seated in
the connector body (backed out).

Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. The terminals must be clean
and free of any foreign material which could impede proper termi-
nal contact. However, cleaning the terminal with a sand paper or
the like is prohibited.

Damaged connector body, exposing the terminals to moisture
and dirt, as well as not maintaining proper terminal orientation
with the component or mating connector.

Improperly formed or damaged terminals.
Check each connector terminal in problem circuits carefully to en-
sure good contact tension by using the corresponding mating ter-
minal.
If contact tension is not enough, reform it to increase contact ten-
sion or replace.

Poor terminal-to-wire connection.
Check each wire harness in problem circuits for poor connection
by shaking it by hand lightly. If any abnormal condition is found,
repair or replace.

Wire insulation which is rubbed through, causing an intermittent
short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of the vehicle.

Wiring broken inside the insulation. This condition could cause
continuity check to show a good circuit, but if only 1 or 2 strands
of a multi-strand-type wire are intact, resistance could be far too
high.
If any abnormality is found, repair or replace.

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. “G”).
The dual-colored wire uses two color symbols (i.e. “G/Y”). The first
symbol represents the base color of the wire (“G” in the figure) and
the second symbol represents the color of the stripe (“Y” in the fig-
ure).

STANDARD TIGHTENING TORQUE
Each fastener should be tightened to the torque specified in each section of this manual. If no description or specifi-
cation is provided, refer to the following tightening torque chart for the applicable torque for each fastener. When
a fastener of greater strength than the original one is used, however, use the torque specified for the original fasten-
er.
NOTE:

For the flanged bolt, flanged nut and self-lock nut of 4T and 7T strength, add 10% to the tightening torque
given in the chart below.

The chart below is applicable only where the fastened parts are made of steel or light alloy.

MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 0B-13
ITEM 5-2
Brake Hoses and Pipes Inspection
Perform this inspection where there is enough light and use a mirror
as necessary.

Check brake hoses and pipes for proper hook-up, leaks, cracks,
chafing, wear, corrosion, bends, twists and other damage.
Replace any of these parts as necessary.

Check all clamps for tightness and connections for leakage.

Check that hoses and pipes are clear of sharp edges, moving
parts.
CAUTION:
After replacing any brake pipe or hose, be sure to carry out
air purge operation.
ITEM 5-3
Brake Fluid Change
CAUTION:
Since brake system of this vehicle is factory-filled with
brake fluid indicated on reservoir cap, do not use or mix dif-
ferent type of fluid when refilling; otherwise serious dam-
age will occur.
Do not use old or used brake fluid, or any fluid from a un-
sealed container.
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 SECTION 5.

MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 0B-21
[Parking brake]
Check that lever has proper travel.
Check to ensure that parking brake is fully effective
when the vehicle is stopped on the safe slope and
brake lever is pulled all the way.
Steering

Check to ensure that steering wheel is free from in-
stability, 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 sys-
tem are free from abnormal noise and abnormal
vibration or any other abnormal condition.
Meters and Gauge
Check that speedometer, odometer, fuel meter, tem-
perature 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 fan switch lever to “HI” position and mode lever to
defroster position for this check. WARNING:
With vehicle parked on a fairly steep slope,
make sure nothing is in the way downhill to
avoid any personal injury or property damage.
Be prepared to apply regular brake quickly
even if vehicle should start to move.
