WARNING:
This service manual is intended for authorized Suzuki dealers and qualified service mechanics only.
Inexperienced mechanics or mechanics without the proper tools and equipment may not be able to
properly perform the services described in this manual.
Improper repair may result in injury to the mechanic and may render the vehicle unsafe for the driver
and passengers.
WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with a Supplemental Restraint or 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.
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, instrument panel or any other air bag system component on or
around air bag system components or wiring. Modifications can adversely affect air bag system
performance and lead to injury.
If the vehicle will be exposed to temperatures over 93°C (200°F), for example, during a paint baking
process, remove the air bag system components, that is air bag or inflator modules, SDM and/or
seat belt with pretensioner, beforehand to avoid component damage or unintended activation.

Precautions
Precaution for Vehicles Equipped with a Sup-
plemental Restraint (Air Bag) System
Diagnosis
When troubleshooting air bag system, be sure to follow “Air
Bag Diagnostic System Check” in Section 10B. Bypassing
these procedures may result in extended diagnostic time,
incorrect diagnosis, and incorrect parts replacement.
Never use electrical test equipment other than that specified
in this manual. WARNING:
The configuration of air bag system parts are as shown
in the figure. When it is necessary to service (remove,
reinstall and inspect) these parts, be sure to follow
procedures described in Section 10B. Failure to follow
proper procedures could result in possible air bag sys-
tem activation, 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 sys-
tem 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
93°C (200°F) (for example, during a paint baking pro-
cess), remove the air bag system components before-
hand to avoid component damage or unintended air
bag system activation.
1. Air bag wire harness (in instrument panel
wire harness and floor wire harness)5. Contact coil
2. Passenger air bag (inflator) module 6. Driver air bag (inflator) module
3. SDM 7. Seat belt pretensioner (if equipped)
4. DLC
WARNING:
Never attempt to measure the resistance of the air bag
(inflator) modules (driver and passenger) and seat belt
pretensioners (driver and passenger). It is very danger-
ous as the electric current from the tester may deploy the
air bag or activate the pretensioner.

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 rigidly attached to the vehicle which could
cause deployment and result in personal injury.
WARNING:
Driver and Passenger Seat Belt Pretensioners (If
equipped)
For handling and storage of a live seat belt preten-
sioner, select a place where the ambient temperature
below 65°C (150°F), 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 preten-
sioner on the workbench or some place like that, be
sure not to lay it with its exhaust hole (1) provided side
facing down. It is also prohibited to put something on
its face with an exhaust hole (1) or to put a seat belt
pretensioner on top of another. Otherwise, personal
injury may result.
Never dispose of live (inactivated) seat belt pretension-
ers (driver and passenger). If disposal is necessary, be
sure to activate them according to activation proce-
dures described 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 irrita-
tion of the skin or eyes.

CAUTION:
Even when the accident was light enough not to cause air bags to activate, be sure to inspect sys-
tem parts and other related parts according to instructions under “Repair and Inspection Required
after an Accident” in Section 10B.
When servicing parts other than air bag system, if shocks may be applied to air bag system compo-
nent parts, remove those parts beforehand.
When handling the air bag (inflator) modules (driver and passenger), seat belt pretensioners (driver
and passenger) or SDM, be careful not to drop it or apply an impact to it. If an excessive impact was
applied (e.g., dropped from a height of 90 cm (3 feet) or more), never attempt disassembly or repair
but replace it with a new one.
When grease, cleaning agent, oil, water, etc. has got onto air bag (inflator) modules (driver and pas-
senger) or seat belt pretensioners (drive and passenger), wipe off immediately with a dry cloth.
Air bag wire harness can be identified easily as it is covered with a yellow protection tube. Be very
careful when handling it.
When an open in air bag wire harness, damaged wire harness, connector or terminal is found,
replace wire harness, connectors and terminals as an assembly.
Do not apply power to the air bag system unless all components are connected or a diagnostic
chart requests it, as this will set a diagnostic trouble code.
Never use air bag system component parts from another vehicle.
When using electric welding, be sure to disconnect air bag (inflator) module connectors (driver and
passenger) and seat belt pretensioner connectors (driver and passenger) respectively.
Never expose air bag system component parts directly to hot air (drying or baking the vehicle after
painting) or flames.
WARNING / CAUTION labels are attached on each part of air bag system components. Be sure to
follow the instructions.
After vehicle is completely repaired, perform “Air Bag Diagnostic System Check” in Section 10B.

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.
