ANTI-CORROSION TREATMENT
As rust proof treatment, steel sheets are given corrosion resistance on the interior and/or exterior.
These corrosion resistance steel sheet materials are called one of two-side galvanized steel sheets.
It is for the sake of rust protection that these materials are selected and given a variety of treatments as
described blow.
Steel sheets are treated with cathodic electroprimer which is excellent in corrosion resistance.
Rust proof wax coatings are applied to door and side sill insides where moisture is liable to stay.
Vinyl coating is applied to body underside and wheel housing inside.
Sealer is applied to door hem, engine compartment steel sheet-to-steel sheet joint, and the like portions to
prevent water penetration and resulting in rust occurrence.
In panel replacement or collision damage repair, leaving the relevant area untreated as it is in any operation
which does disturb the above-mentioned rust proof treatment will cause corrosion to that area. Therefore, it is
the essential function of any repair operation to correctly recoat the related surfaces of the relevant area.
All the metal panels are coated with metal conditioners and primer coating during vehicle production. Following
the repair and/or replacement parts installation, every accessible bare metal surface should be cleaned and
coated with rust proof primer. Perform this operation prior to the application of sealer and rust proof wax coating.
Sealer is applied to the specific joints of a vehicle during production. The sealer is intended to prevent dust from
entering the vehicle and serves also as an anticorrosion barrier. The sealer is applied to the door and hood hem
areas and between panels. Correct and reseal the originally sealed joints if damaged. Reseal the attaching
joints of a new replacement panel and reseal the hem area of a replacement door or hood.
Use a quality sealer to seal the flanged joints, overlap joints and seams. The sealer must have flexible character-
istics and paint ability after it’s applied to repair areas.
For the sealer to fill open joints, use caulking material. Select a sealer in conformance with the place and pur-
pose of a specific use. Observe the manufacturer’s label-stand instructions when using the sealer.
In many cases, repaired places require color painting. When this is required, follow the ordinary techniques
specified for the finish preparation, color painting and undercoating build-up.
Rust proof wax, a penetrative compound, is applied to the metal-to-metal surfaces (door and side sill insides)
where it is difficult to use ordinary undercoating material for coating. Therefore, when selecting the rust proof
wax, it may be the penetrative type.
During the undercoating (vinyl coating) application, care should be taken that sealer is not applied to the engine-
related parts and shock absorber mounting or rotating parts. Following the under coating, make sure that body
drain holes are kept open.
The sequence of the application steps of the anti-corrosion materials are as follows:
1) Clean and prepare the metal surface.
2) Apply primer.
3) Apply sealer (all joints sealed originally).
4) Apply color in areas where color is required such as hem flanges, exposed joints and under body compo-
nents.
5) Apply anticorrosion compound (penetrative wax).
6) Apply undercoating (rust proof material).WARNING:
Standard shop practices, particularly eye protection, should be followed during the performance of the
below-itemized operations to avoid personal injury.

WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag) System with seat belt pretensioner:
Service on or around the air bag system components or wiring must be performed only by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer. Please observe all WARNINGS and “Service Precautions” under “On-
Vehicle Service” in air bag system section before performing service on or around the air bag sys-
tem 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.
The procedures in this section must be followed in the order listed to disable the air bag system
temporarily and prevent false diagnostic trouble codes from setting. Failure to follow procedures
could result in possible activation of the air bag system, personal injury or otherwise unneeded air
bag system repairs.
CAUTION:
When fasteners are removed, always reinstall them at the same location from which they were
removed. If a fastener needs to be replaced, use the correct part number fastener for that application.
If the correct part number fastener is not available, a fastener of equal size and strength (or stronger)
may be used. Fasteners that are not reused, and those requiring thread-locking compound, will be
called out. The correct torque value must be used when installing fasteners that require it. If the above
procedures are not followed, parts or system damage could result.

Driver and Front Passenger Air Bags and Seat Belt Pretensioners
With the air bag system which includes air bags for both the driver’s and passenger’s sides as well as the seat
belt pretensioners, the pretensioner takes up the sag of the seat belt, the driver air bag (inflator) module is
deployed from the center of the steering column and the passenger air bag (inflator) module from the top of the
instrument panel in front of the front passenger seat in occurrence of a front collision with an impact larger than
a certain set value to supplement protection offered by the driver and front passenger seat belts.
SYSTEM SPECIFICATION
SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER (IF EQUIPPED)
Some seat belts of the driver and front passenger seats are provided with a pretensioner as an optional function
unit. The pretensioner is incorporated in retractor assembly and controlled by SDM as one of air bag system
components. It will be activated at the same time as the air bag when an impact at the front of vehicle exceeds
the specified value.
When servicing seat belt (retractor assembly) with pretensioner, be sure to observe all WARNINGS and CAU-
TIONS in this section and “SERVICE PRECAUTIONS” of “ON-VEHICLE SERVICE” in Section 10B
DIAGNOSIS
For diagnosis of air bag system (including in seat belt pretensioner), refer to Section 10B.
INSPECTION AND REPAIR REQUIRED AFTER ACCIDENT
After an accident, whether the seat belt pretensioner has been activated or not, be sure to perform checks and
repairs described on “REPAIRS AND INSPECTIONS REQUIRED AFTER ACCIDENT” under “DIAGNOSIS” in
Section 10B.Type 1 Type 2 Type 3
