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

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-

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).
CAUTION:
The air conditioning system of this vehicle uses refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a).
None of refrigerant, compressor oil and component parts is interchangeable between two types of
A/C: one using refrigerant CFC-12 (R-12) and the other using refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a).
Be sure to check which refrigerant is used before any service work including inspection and mainte-
nance. For identification between these two types, refer to “REFRIGERANT TYPE” in this section.
When replenishing or changing refrigerant and compressor oil and when replacing parts, make sure
that the material or the part to be used is appropriate to the A/C installed in the vehicle being serviced.
Use of incorrect one will result in leakage of refrigerant, damage in parts or other faulty condition.
NOTE:
 For the descriptions (items) not found in this section, refer to the same section of the Service Man-
ual mentioned in FOREWORD of this manual.
 For basic servicing method of the air conditioning system that is not described in this section, refer
to “AIR CONDITIONING BASIC MANUAL (99520-02130)”.

AIR CONDITIONING (OPTIONAL) 1B-21
Evacuating
Evacuating procedure
1) Connect high charging hose (1) and low charging hose (2) of
manifold gauge set (3) respectively as follows:
High Charging Hose (1) → High pressure charging valve (4)
on Discharge Hose
Low Charging Hose (2) → Low pressure charging valve (5)
on Suction Pipe
2) Attach center charging hose (6) of manifold gauge set (3) to
vacuum pump (7).
3) Operate vacuum pump (7), and then open discharge-side
valve (9) (Hi) of manifold gauge set (3).
If there is no blockage in the system, there will be an indica-
tion on high pressure gauge (10).
When this occurs, open the other-side valve (8) (Lo) of the
set.
4) Approx. 10 minutes later, low pressure gauge (11) should
show –10 kPa (–1.0 kg/cm
2, –760 mmHg, –14.2 psi) provid-
ing no leakage exists.
5) Evacuation should be carried out for a total of at least 20
minutes.
6) Continue evacuation until low pressure gauge indicates –10
kPa (–1.0 kg/cm
2, –760 mmHg, –14.2 psi), and then close
both valves (8), (9).
7) Stop vacuum pump (7). Disconnect center charging hose (6)
from pump inlet. Now, the system is ready for charging refrig-
erant. CAUTION:
Do not evacuate before recovering refrigerant in system.
NOTE:
Whenever opened (exposed to atmospheric air), air con-
ditioning system must be evacuated by using a vacuum
pump. The A/C system should be attached with a mani-
fold gauge set, and should be evacuated for approx. 20
minutes.
NOTE:
If the system does not show –10 kPa (–1.0 kg/cm
2, –
760 mmHg, –14.2 psi), close both valves, stop vacuum
pump and watch movement of low pressure gauge.
Increase in the gauge reading suggests existence of
leakage. In this case, repair the system before continu-
ing its evacuation.
If the gauge shows a stable reading (suggesting no
leakage), continue evacuation.

1B-24 AIR CONDITIONING (OPTIONAL)
c) Purge any air existing in center charging hose
When using refrigerant container tap valve, use following
procedure to purge air.
i) Once fully tighten refrigerant container tap valve and then
loosen (open) plate nut slightly.
ii) Open low pressure valve of manifold gauge set a little.
iii) As soon as refrigerant comes out with a “hiss” through a
clearance between refrigerant container and tap valve,
tighten plate nut as well as manifold gauge set low pres-
sure valve.
iv) Turn handle of tap valve clockwise so that its needle is
screwed into the new container to make a hole for refriger-
ant flow.
8) After the system has been charged with specified amount of
refrigerant or when low pressure gauge (1) and high pres-
sure gauge (2) must indicated the following specified
amount, close low pressure side valve (3) of manifold gauge
set (4). If equipped with sight glass in this time, look into the
sight glass (6) of condenser outlet pipe (5) and check that
there are no bubbles (7) in it, which means that the system is
fully charged.
Low pressure gauge when charged with specified
amount :
About 200 - 300 kPa (2 - 3 kg/cm
2, 29 - 43 psi)
(At A/C inlet temperature 30 - 35 °C (86 - 95 °F))
High pressure gauge when charged with specified
amount :
About 1370 - 1670 kPa (14 - 17 kg/cm
2, 200 - 244 psi)
(At A/C inlet temperature 30 - 35 °C (86 - 95 °F))
