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).

When carrying out periodic maintenance, or the vehicle is raised
for other service, check exhaust system as follows:
Check rubber mountings for damage, deterioration, and out
of position.
Check exhaust system for leakage, loose connections, dents
and damages.
If bolts or nuts are loose, tighten them to specification.
Check nearby body areas for damaged, missing, or misposi-
tioned parts, open seams, holes, loose connections or other
defects which could permit exhaust fumes to seep into the
vehicle.
Make sure that exhaust system components have enough
clearance from the underbody to avoid overheating and pos-
sible damage to the floor carpet.
Any defects should be fixed at once.
Ignition System
Spark Plugs
REPLACEMENT
Replace spark plugs with new ones referring to “Spark Plug” in
Section 6F.
Fuel System
Air Cleaner Filter
INSPECTION
1) Remove air cleaner case clamps (1).
2) Take cleaner filter out of air cleaner case.
3) Check air cleaner filter for dirt. Replace excessively dirty fil-
ter.
4) Blow off dust by compressed air from air outlet side of filter.
5) Install air cleaner filter into case.
6) Install air cleaner case cap and clamp it securely.

REPLACEMENT
Replace air cleaner filter with new one according to steps 1), 2)
and 5), 6) of inspection procedure.
Fuel Lines and Connections
INSPECTION
1) Visually inspect fuel lines and connections for evidence of
fuel leakage, hose cracking and damage. Make sure all
clamps are secure.
Repair leaky joints, if any.
Replace hoses that are suspected of being cracked.
Fuel Filter
REPLACEMENT
Fuel filter (1) is a part of fuel pump assembly (2) which is installed
in fuel tank. Replace fuel filter with new one periodically, referring
to “Fuel Pump Assembly (with Fuel Filter, Fuel Level Gauge and
Fuel Cut Valve)” in Section 6C for proper procedure.
Fuel Tank
INSPECTION
Check fuel tank for damage, cracks, fuel leakage, corrosion and
tank bolts looseness.
If a problem is found, repair or replace.
Emission Control System
Crankcase Ventilation Hoses and Connections
INSPECTION
Refer to “PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) Valve” in this sec-
