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
authorized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to “Air Bag System Components and Wiring Location View” under
“General Description” in air bag system section in order to confirm whether you are performing ser-
vice on or near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARNINGS and “Ser-
vice Precautions” 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).

7C-2 CLUTCH
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The clutch is a diaphragm-spring clutch of a dry single disc type. The diaphragm spring is of a tapering-finger
type, which is a solid ring in the outer diameter part, with a series of tapered fingers pointing inward.
The disc, carrying four torsional coil springs, is positioned on the transmission input shaft with an involute spline
fit.
The clutch cover is secured to the flywheel, and carries the diaphragm spring in such a way that the peripheral
edge part of the spring pushes on the pressure plate against the flywheel (with the disc in between), when the
clutch release bearing is held back. This is the engaged condition of the clutch.
Depressing the clutch pedal causes the release bearing to advance and pushes on the tips of the tapered fin-
gers of the diaphragm spring. When this happens, the diaphragm spring pulls the pressure plate away from the
flywheel, thereby interrupting the flow of drive from flywheel through clutch disc to transmission input shaft.
