When Using Floor Jack
In raising front or rear vehicle end off the floor by jacking, be sure
to put the jack against the center portion of the front axle housing
(1) or rear axle housing (2).
To perform service with either front or rear vehicle end jacked up,
be sure to place safety stands (1) under chassis frame so that
body is securely supported. And then check to ensure that chas-
sis frame does not slide on safety stands (1) and the vehicle is
held stable for safety’s sake. WARNING:
If the vehicle to be jacked up only at the front or rear end,
be sure to block the wheels on ground in order to ensure
safety.
After the vehicle is jacked up, be sure to support it on
stands. It is extremely dangerous to do any work on the
vehicle raised on jack alone.
CAUTION:
Never apply jack against suspension parts (i.e., stabi-
lizer, etc.) or vehicle floor, or it may get deformed.

SYMBOLS
WIRE COLOR SYMBOLS
There are two kinds of colored wire used in this vehicle. One is
single-colored wire and the other is dual-colored (striped) wire.
The single-colored wire uses only one color symbol (i.e. “GRN”).
The dual-colored wire uses two color symbols (i.e. “GRN/YEL”).
The first symbol represents the base color of the wire (“GRN” in
the figure) and the second symbol represents the color of the
stripe (“YEL” in the figure). SYMBOL DEFINITION SYMBOL DEFINITION

Fasteners Information
Metric Fasteners
Most of the fasteners used for this vehicle are metric fasteners. When replacing any fasteners, it is most impor-
tant that replacement fasteners be the correct diameter, thread pitch and strength.
Fastener Strength Identification
Most commonly used metric fastener strength property classes are 4T, 6.8, 7T, 8.8 and radial line with the class
identification embossed on the head of each bolt. Some metric nuts will be marked with punch, 6 or 8 mark
strength identification on the nut face. Figure shows the different strength markings.
When replacing metric fasteners, be careful to use bolts and nuts of the same strength or greater than the origi-
nal fasteners (the same number marking or higher). It is likewise important to select replacement fasteners of
the correct diameter and thread pitch. Correct replacement bolts and nuts are available through the parts divi-
sion.
Metric bolts: Identification class numbers or marks correspond to bolt strength (increasing numbers represent
increasing strength).
Standard Tightening Torque
Each fastener should be tightened to the torque specified in each section of this manual. If no description or
specification is provided, refer to the following tightening torque chart for the applicable torque for each fastener.
When a fastener of greater strength than the original one is used, however, use the torque specified for the orig-
inal fastener.
1. Nuts strength identification
NOTE:
For the flanged bolt, flanged nut and self-lock nut of 4T and 7T strength, add 10% to the tightening
torque given in the chart below.
The chart below is applicable only where the fastened parts are made of steel light alloy.

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).

Power Steering (P/S) System (if equipped)
INSPECTION
1) Visually check power steering system for fluid leakage and
hose for damage and deterioration.
Repair or replace defective parts, if any.
2) With engine stopped, check fluid level indicated on fluid tank
or level gauge of tank cap, which should be between MAX
and MIN marks. If it is lower than MIN, fill fluid up to MAX
mark.
3) Visually check pump drive belt for cracks and wear.
4) Check belt for tension, referring to “Drive Belt” in this section.
If necessary, have belt adjusted or replaced.
All Hinges, Latches and Locks
DOORS INSPECTION
Check that each door of front and back doors opens and closes
smoothly and locks securely when closed.
If any malfunction is found, lubricate hinge and latch or repair
door lock system.
ENGINE HOOD INSPECTION
Check that secondary latch operates properly (check that sec-
ondary latch keeps hood from opening all the way even when pull-
ing hood release handle inside vehicle.) Also check that hood
opens and closes smoothly and properly and hood locks securely
when closed.
If any malfunction is found, lubricate hinge and latch, or repair
hood lock system. Check hood latch bolt for tightness.
