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).

Engine Vacuum Check
The engine vacuum that develops in the intake line is a good indi-
cator of the condition of the engine. The vacuum checking proce-
dure is as follows:
1) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
2) Stop engine and turn off the all electric switches.
3) Remove cap (1) from intake manifold.
4) Connect special tool (Vacuum gauge) to intake manifold.
Special tool
(A) : 09915-67310
5) Run engine at specified idle speed and read vacuum gauge.
Vacuum should be within specification.
Vacuum specification (at sea level)
59 – 73 kPa (45 – 55 cm Hg, 17.7 – 21.6 in. Hg)
at specified idle speed
6) After checking, disconnect special tool (Vacuum gauge) from
intake manifold.
7) Install cap to intake manifold.NOTE:
After warming up engine, be sure to place transmission
gear shift lever in “Neutral” (shift selector lever to “P”
range for A/T model), and set parking brake and block
drive wheels.
