GEARSHIFT OR SELECTOR LEVER (TRANSMISSION)
Check gear shift or selector lever for smooth shifting to all positions and for good performance of transmission in
any position.
With automatic transmission equipped vehicle, also check that shift indicator indicates properly according to
which position selector lever is shifted to.
With automatic transmission equipped vehicle, make sure that vehicle is at complete stop when shifting selector
lever to “P” range position and release all brakes.
BRAKE
Foot Brake
Check the following:
that brake pedal has proper travel,
that brake works properly,
that it is free from noise,
that braking force is applied equally on all wheels,
and that brake do not drag.
Parking Brake
Check that lever has proper travel.
Check to ensure that parking brake is fully effective when the vehicle is stopped on the safe slope and brake
lever is pulled all the way.
STEERING
Check to ensure that steering wheel is free from instability, or abnormally heavy feeling.
Check that the vehicle does not wander or pull to one side.
ENGINE
Check that engine responds readily at all speeds.
Check that engine is free from abnormal noise and abnormal vibration.
BODY, WHEELS AND POWER TRANSMITTING SYSTEM
Check that body, wheels and power transmitting system are free from abnormal noise and abnormal vibration or
any other abnormal condition.
METERS AND GAUGE
Check that speedometer, odometer, fuel meter, temperature gauge, etc. are operating accurately.
LIGHTS
Check that all lights operate properly.
WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER
Periodically check that air comes out from defroster outlet when operating heater or air conditioning.
Set mode control lever to defroster position and fan switch lever to “HI” position for this check. WARNING:
With vehicle parked on a fairly steep slope, make sure nothing is in the way downhill to avoid any per-
sonal injury or property damage. Be prepared to apply regular brake quickly even if vehicle should
start to move.

WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with Supplement 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 Section 10B in order to confirm whether you are performing service on or
near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARNINGS and “Service Precau-
tions” under “On-Vehicle Service” in Section 10B before performing service on or around the air
bag system components or wiring. Failure to follow WARNINGS could result in unintentional activa-
tion of the system or could render the system inoperative. Either or 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).
NOTE:
The link mechanism of the heater varies depending on the specifications.

General Description
The heater, an in and out air selectable-type hot water heater, is so constructed that it is possible to assure an
agreeable ventilation at all times by providing the ventilator air outlets at the center and both sides (right and left)
of the instrument panel, the hot air outlet at a place close to the feet of front passengers, and the defroster air
outlets at places, right and left, along the windshield glass.
The heater and ventilation consist of following parts.
1. Side ventilator outlet 6. Ventilator duct 11. Heater core
2. Side defroster outlet 7. Control lever 12. Damper
3. Center ventilator outlet 8. Blower motor 13. Air inlet box (without air conditioning, without
other parts marked *)/cooling unit (if equipped
with air conditioning) 4. Heater unit 9. Blower resistor
5. Defroster duct 10. Blower fan switch/Blower fan and A/C
switch (if equipped with air conditioning)
