General Precautions
The WARNING and CAUTION below describe some general precautions that you should observe when servic-
ing a vehicle. These general precautions apply to many of the service procedures described in this manual, and
they will not necessarily be repeated with each procedure to which they apply.
Before starting any service work, cover fenders, seats
and any other parts that are likely to get scratched or
stained during servicing. Also, be aware that what you
wear (e.g, buttons) may cause damage to the vehicle’s
finish.
When performing service to electrical parts that does
not require use of battery power, disconnect the nega-
tive cable of the battery. WARNING:
Whenever raising a vehicle for service, be sure to follow the instructions under “Vehicle Lifting
Points” in this section.
When it is necessary to do service work with the engine running, make sure that the parking brake
is set fully and the transmission is in Neutral (for manual transmission vehicles) or Park (for auto-
matic transmission vehicles), Keep hands, hair, clothing, tools, etc. away from the fan and belts
when the engine is running.
When it is necessary to run the engine indoors, make sure that the exhaust gas is forced outdoors.
Do not perform service work in areas where combustible materials can come in contact with a hot
exhaust system. When working with toxic or flammable materials (such as gasoline and refriger-
ant), make sure that the area you work in is well-ventilated.
To avoid getting burned, keep away from hot metal parts such as the radiator, exhaust manifold,
tailpipe, muffler, etc.
New and used engine oil can be hazardous. Children and pets may be harmed by swallowing new or
used oil. Keep new and used oil and used engine oil filters away from children and pets.
Continuous contact with used engine oil has been found to cause [skin] cancer in laboratory ani-
mals. Brief contact with used oil may irritate skin. To minimize your exposure to used engine oil,
wear a long-sleeve shirt and moisture-proof gloves (such as dish washing gloves) when changing
engine oil. If engine oil contacts your skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water. Launder any
clothing or rags if wet with oil, recycle or properly dispose of used oil and filters.
Make sure the bonnet is fully closed and latched before driving. If it is not, it can fly up unexpectedly
during driving, obstructing your view and resulting in an accident.

When disconnecting vacuum hoses, attach a tag
describing the correct installation positions so that the
hoses can be reinstalled correctly.
After servicing fuel, oil, coolant, vacuum, exhaust or
brake systems, check all lines related to the system for
leaks.
For vehicles equipped with fuel injection systems, never
disconnect the fuel line between the fuel pump and
injector without first releasing the fuel pressure, or fuel
can be sprayed out under pressure.
When performing a work that produces a heat exceeding
80°C (176°F) in the vicinity of the electrical parts, remove
the heat sensitive electrical part(s) beforehand.
Use care not to expose connectors and electrical parts
to water which will be a cause of a trouble.
Always be careful not to handle electrical parts (com-
puter, relay, etc.) in a rough manner or drop them.

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).

Final Inspection
SEATS
Check that seat slides smoothly and locks securely at any position. Also check that reclining mechanism of front
seat back allows it to be locked at any angle.
SEAT BELT
Inspect belt system including webbing, buckles, latch plates, retractors and anchors for damage or wear.
If “REPLACE BELT” label on front seat belt is visible, replace belt. Check that seat belt is securely locked.
BATTERY ELECTROLYTE LEVEL CHECK
Check that the electrolyte level of all battery cells is between the upper and lower level lines on the case. If bat-
tery is equipped with built-in indicator, check battery condition by the indicator.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL OPERATION
Check that pedal operates smoothly without getting caught or interfered by any other part.
ENGINE START
Check engine start for readiness.
On automatic transmission vehicles, try to start the engine in each select lever position. The starting motor
should crank only in “P” (Park) or “N” (Neutral).
On manual transmission vehicles, place the shift lever in “Neutral,” depress clutch pedal fully any try to start.
EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECK
Check for leakage, cracks or loose supports.
CLUTCH (FOR MANUAL TRANSMISSION)
Check for the following.
Clutch is completely released when depressing clutch pedal,
No slipping clutch occurs when releasing pedal and accelerating.
Clutch itself is free from any abnormal condition. WARNING:
When carrying out road tests, select a safe place where no man or no running vehicle is seen so as to
prevent any accident.
WARNING:
Before performing the following check, be sure to have enough room around the vehicle. Then, firmly
apply both the parking brake and the regular brakes. Do not use the accelerator pedal. If the engine
starts, be ready to turn off the ignition promptly. Take these precautions because the vehicle could
move without warning and possibly cause personal injury or property damage.

General Description
When the foot brake pedal is depressed, hydraulic pressure is developed in the master cylinder to actuate pis-
tons (two in front and four in rear).
The master cylinder is a tandem master cylinder. Three (or two) brake pipes are connected to the master cylin-
der and they make two independent circuits. One connects front brakes (right and left) and the other connects
rear brakes (right and left).
The load sensing proportioning valve (LSPV), the proportioning and bypass (P & B) valve or proportioning (P)
valve is included in these circuits between the master cylinder and the rear brake.
In this brake system, the disc brake type is used for the front wheel brake and a drum brake type (leading/trailing
shoes) for the rear wheel brake.
The parking brake system is mechanical. It applies brake force to only rear wheels by means of the cable and
mechanical linkage system. The same brake shoes are used for both parking and foot brakes.
NOTE:
The figures shows left-hand steering vehicle.
WARNING:
If any hydraulic component is removed or brake line disconnected, bleed the brake system. The
torque values specified are for dry, unlubricated fasteners.
