PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTION FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED
WITH A SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
(AIR BAG) SYSTEM
WARNING:
The configuration of air bag system parts are as shown in
the figure. When it is necessary to service (remove, rein-
stall and inspect) these parts, be sure to follow proce-
dures described in SECTION 10B. Failure to follow proper
procedures could result in possible air bag system activa-
tion, personal injury, damage to parts or air bag system
being unable to activate when necessary.
If the air bag system and another vehicle system both
need repair, SUZUKI recommends that the air bag system
be repaired first, to help avoid unintended air bag system
activation.
Do not modify the steering wheel, dashboard, or any other
air bag system components. Modifications can adversely
affect air bag system performance and lead to injury.
If the vehicle will be exposed to temperatures over 93C
(200F) (for example, during a paint baking process), re-
move the air bag system components beforehand to avoid
component damage or unintended air bag system activa-
tion.
DIAGNOSIS
When troubleshooting air bag system, be sure to follow
ªDIAGNOSISº in SECTION 10B. Bypassing these proce-
dures may result in extended diagnostic time, incorrect diag-
nosis, and incorrect parts replacement.
Never use electrical test equipment other than that specified
in this manual.
WARNING:
Never attempt to measure the resistance of the air bag (in-
flator) modules (driver and passenger) and seat belt preten-
tioners (driver and passenger). It is very dangerous as the
electric current from the tester may deploy the air bag or ac-
tivate the pretensioner.

0A-4 GENERAL INFORMATION
SERVICING AND HANDLING
WARNING:
Many of service procedures require disconnection of ªAIR
BAGº fuse and all air bag (inflator) module(s) from initiator
circuit to avoid an accidental deployment.
Driver and Passenger Air Bag (Inflator) Modules
For handling and storage of a live air bag (inflator) module,
select a place where the ambient temperature below 65C
(150F), without high humidity and away from electric
noise.
When carrying a live air bag (inflator) module, make sure
the bag opening is pointed away from you. In case of an
accidental deployment, the bag will then deploy with mini-
mal chance of injury. Never carry the air bag (inflator)
module by the wires or connector on the underside of the
module. When placing a live air bag (inflator) module on
a bench or other surface, always face the bag up, away
from the surface. As the live passenger air bag (inflator)
module must be placed with its bag (trim cover) facing up,
place it on the workbench with a slit or use the workbench
vise to hold it securely at its lower mounting bracket. This
is necessary so that a free space is provided to allow the
air bag to expand in the unlikely event of accidental de-
ployment. Otherwise, personal injury may result.
Never dispose of live (undeployed) air bag (inflator) mod-
ules (driver and passenger). If disposal is necessary, be
sure to deploy them according to deployment procedures
described in SECTION 10B before disposal.
The air bag (inflator) module immediately after deploy-
ment is very hot. Wait for at least half an hour to cool it off
before proceeding the work.
After an air bag (inflator) module has been deployed, the
surface of the air bag may contain a powdery residue. This
powder consists primarily of cornstarch (used to lubri-
cate the bag as it inflates) and by-products of the chemical
reaction. As with many service procedures, gloves and
safety glasses should be worn.

GENERAL INFORMATION 0A-5
WARNING:
SDM
During service procedures, be very careful when handling
a Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM). Never strike or
jar the SDM.
Never power up the air bag system when the SDM is not
rigidly attached to the vehicle. All SDM and mounting
bracket fasteners must be carefully torqued and the arrow
must be pointing toward the front of the vehicle to ensure
proper operation of the air bag system.
The SDM could be activated when powered while not rigid-
ly attached to the vehicle which could cause deployment
and result in personal injury.
WARNING:
Driver and Passenger Seat Belt Pretensioners
For handling and storage of a live seat belt pretensioner,
select a place where the ambient temperature below 65C
(150F), without high humidity and away from electric
noise.
Never carry seat belt pretensioner by wire or connector of
pretensioner. When placing a live seat belt pretensioner
on the workbench or some place like that, be sure not to
lay it with its exhaust hole provided side facing down. It is
also prohibited to put something on its face with an ex-
haust hole or to put a seat belt pretensioner on top of
another. Otherwise, personal injury may result.
Never dispose of live (inactivated) seat belt pretensioners
(driver and passenger). If disposal is necessary, be sure
to activate them according to activation procedures de-
scribed in SECTION 10B before disposal.
The seat belt pretensioner immediately after activation is
very hot. Wait for at least half an hour to cool it off before
proceeding the work.
With many service procedures, gloves and safety glasses
should be worn to prevent any possible irritation of the
skin or eyes.

NOTE:
Before fitting new oil filter, be sure to oil its O-ring. Use engine
oil for this purpose.
4) Screw new filter on oil filter stand by hand until the filter O-ring
contacts the mounting surface.
CAUTION:
To tighten oil filter properly, it is important to accurately
identify the position at which at filter O-ring first contacts
the mounting surface.
5) Tighten the filter 3 / 4 turn from the point of contact with the
mounting surface using an oil filter wrench.

It is recommended to use engine oil of SG, SH or SJ grade.
NOTE:
For temperature between ±20C (±4F) and 30C (86F), it
is highly recommended to use SAE 10W ± 30 oil.

NOTE:
Engine oil capacity is specified. However, note that the
amount of oil required when actually changing oil may
somewhat differ from the data in the table depending on
various conditions (temperature, viscosity, etc.).
7) Check oil filter and drain plug for oil leakage.
8) Start engine and run it for three minutes. Stop it and wait five min-
utes before checking oil level. Add oil, as necessary, to bring oil
level to FULL level mark on dipstick.
NOTE:
Step 1) ± 7) outlined above must be performed with ENGINE
NOT RUNNING. For step 8), be sure to have adequate ven-
tilation while engine is running.

Engine Coolant Change
WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned, do not remove radia-
tor cap while engine and radiator are still hot. Scalding fluid
and steam can be blown out under pressure if cap is taken
off too soon.
1) Remove radiator cap when engine is cool.
2) Loosen radiator drain plug to drain coolant.
3) Remove reservoir, which is on the side of radiator, and drain.
4) Tighten plug securely. Also reinstall reservoir.
5) Fill radiator with specified amount of coolant, and run engine for
2 or 3 minutes at idle. This drives out any air which may still be
trapped within cooling system. STOP ENGINE. Add coolant as
necessary until coolant level reaches the filler throat of radiator.
Reinstall radiator cap.

Then, reinstall cap aligning arrow marks on reservoir and cap.
NOTE:
When installing reservoir cap, align arrow marks on reser-

CAUTION:
When changing engine coolant, use mixture of 50% wa-
ter and 50% ANTIFREEZE / ANTICORROSION COOLANT
for the market where ambient temperature falls lower
than ±16C (3F) in winter, and mixture of 70% water and
30% ANTIFREEZE / ANTICORROSION COOLANT for the
market where ambient temperature doesn't fall lower
than ±16C (3F).
Even in a market where no freezing temperature is antici-
pated, mixture of 70% water and 30% ANTIFREEZE / AN-
TICORROSION COOLANT should be used for the pur-
pose of corrosion protection and lubrication.

Exhaust System Inspection
WARING:
To avoid danger of being burned, do not touch exhaust sys-
tem when it is still hot. Any service on exhaust system
should be performed when it is cool.
When carrying out periodic maintenance, or the vehicle is raised for
other service, check exhaust system as follows:
Check rubber mountings for damage, deterioration, and out of
position.
Check exhaust system for leakage, loose connections, dents and
damages.
If bolts or nuts are loose, tighten them to specification.
Check nearby body areas for damaged, missing, or misposi-
tioned parts, open seams, holes, loose connections or other de-
fects which could permit exhaust fumes to seep into the vehicle.
Make sure that exhaust system components have enough clear-
ance from the underbody to avoid overheating and possible dam-
age to the floor carpet.
Any defects should be fixed at once.
