0B-6 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Water pump, generator, power steering and / or A / C
compressor (if equipped) drive belt (J20 engine)
Inspection
1) Disconnect negative cable at battery.
2) Inspect belt for cracks, cuts, deformation, wear and cleanliness.
If any of above conditions are found, replace.
Also, check belt for tension.
Tension indicator ªBº should be the right of indicator ªAº as
shown in figure. If indicator ªBº is found to the left of indicator ªAº,
replace generator belt.
Replacement
Replace belt referring to Section 6H for replacement procedure of
generator drive belt.
Engine cooling fan drive belt (J20 engine)
Inspection
1) Disconnect negative cable at battery.
2) Inspect belt for cracks, cuts, deformation, wear and cleanliness.
If any defect exists, replace. Check belt for tension.
Cooling fan belt tension
ªaº: 5 ± 7 mm (0.20 ± 0.27 in.) deflection under 100 N, 10 kg
or 22 lb pressure.
NOTE:
When replacing belt with a new one, adjust belt deflection
to 4 ± 5 mm (0.16 ± 0.19 in.).
3) If the belt is too tight or too loose, adjust it to specification by ad-
justing cooling fan pulley position.
4) Tighten adjusting bolt and pivot bolt.
5) Connect negative cable at battery.
Replacement
Replace belt referring to Section 6B for replacement procedure of
cooling fan drive belt.

SECTION 1B
AIR CONDITIONING (OPTIONAL)
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 ªAir Bag System Components and Wiring Location Viewº under ªGener-
al Descriptionº 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 ªService Precau-
tionsº under ªOn-Vehicle Serviceº 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
ªLOCKº 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 the description in page 1B-2.
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.
For basic servicing method of the air conditioning system that is not described in this section, refer to AIR CONDI-
TIONING BASIC MANUAL (99520-02130).

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The air conditioning system of this model differs by the country of origin (the production plant.).
One is Japan (IWATA) produced, other one is Canada (CAMI) produced.
For the details of the identification, please refer to IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION of Section 0A in this manual.
The compressor used of Japan (IWATA) produced vehicle is made of SEIKO SEIKI and the compressor used of
Canada (CAMI) produced vehicle is made of DENSO.
IDENTIFICATION OF REFRIGERATING
SYSTEM
Whether the A / C equipped with the vehicle being serviced uses re-
frigerant R-134a or R-12 is indicated on the LABEL installed the
compressor.
Also, it can be identified by the shape of the service (charge) valve.
The compressor manufacturer, it can be identified by the LABEL on
compressor body.
