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.

Improperly formed or damaged terminals.
Check each connector terminal in problem circuits carefully
to ensure good contact tension by using the corresponding
mating terminal.
If contact tension is not enough, reform it to increase contact
tension or replace.
Poor terminal-to-wire connection.
Check each wire harness in problem circuits for poor con-
nection by shaking it by hand lightly. If any abnormal condi-
tion is found, repair or replace.
Wire insulation which is rubbed through, causing an intermit-
tent short as the bare area touches other wiring or parts of
the vehicle.
Wiring broken inside the insulation. This condition could
cause continuity check to show a good circuit, but if only 1 or
2 strands of a multi-strand-type wire are intact, resistance
could be far too high.
If any abnormality is found, repair or replace.
Precaution For Installing Mobile Communica-
tion Equipment
When installing mobile communication equipment such as CB
(Citizens-Band)-radio or cellular-telephone, be sure to observe
the following precautions.
Failure to follow cautions may adversely affect electronic control
system.
Keep the antenna as far away as possible from the vehicle’s
electronic control unit.
Keep the antenna feeder more than 20 cm (7.9 in) away from
electronic control unit and its wire harnesses.
Do not run the antenna feeder parallel with other wire har-
nesses.
Confirm that the antenna and feeder are correctly adjusted.
1. Check contact tension by inserting and removing just once
2. Check each terminal for bend and proper alignment

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).
