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).
CAUTION:
The air conditioning system of this vehicle uses refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a).
None of refrigerant, compressor oil and component parts is interchangeable between two types of
A/C: one using refrigerant CFC-12 (R-12) and the other using refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a).
Be sure to check which refrigerant is used before any service work including inspection and mainte-
nance. For identification between these two types, refer to “REFRIGERANT TYPE” in this section.
When replenishing or changing refrigerant and compressor oil and when replacing parts, make sure
that the material or the part to be used is appropriate to the A/C installed in the vehicle being serviced.
Use of incorrect one will result in leakage of refrigerant, damage in parts or other faulty condition.
NOTE:
 For the descriptions (items) not found in this section, refer to the same section of the Service Man-
ual mentioned in FOREWORD of this manual.
 For basic servicing method of the air conditioning system that is not described in this section, refer
to “AIR CONDITIONING BASIC MANUAL (99520-02130)”.

NOTE:
For the descriptions (items) not found in this section, refer to the same section of the Service Man-
ual mentioned in the FOREWORD of this manual.
Some parts in the Power Steering Gear Box cannot be disassembled or adjusted. For detailed infor-
mation, refer to the description of “POWER STEERING GEAR BOX ASSEMBLY”.
All steering gear fasteners are important attaching parts in that they could affect the performance of
vital parts and systems, and/or could result in major repair expense. They must be replaced with
one of the same part number or with an equivalent part if replacement becomes necessary. Do not
use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as speci-
fied during reassembly to assure proper retention of these parts.

Service Manual mentioned in the FOREWORD of this manual
noting following point.
Install control arm to chassis.
Tighten suspension arm nuts to specified torque after lower-
ing hoist and vehicle in non-loaded condition.

Front suspension arm nut (b) :
100 N·m (10.0 kg-m, 72.5 lb-ft) CAUTION:
All front suspension fasteners are an important attaching part in that it could affect the performance
of vital parts and systems, and/or could result in major repair expense. They must be replaced with
one of the same part number or with an equivalent part if replacement becomes necessary. Do not
use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as speci-
fied during reassembly to assure proper retention of this part.
Never attempt to heat, quench or straighten any front suspension part. Replace it with a new part or
damage to the part may result.
NOTE:
For the descriptions (items) not found in this section, refer to the same section of the Service Manual
mentioned in the FOREWORD of this manual.
NOTE:
Don’t reuse front suspension arm nut (b).

5C-4 PARKING AND REAR BRAKE
Cracked, scored, or grooved drum
A cracked, drum is unsafe for further service and must be
replaced.
Do not attempt to weld a cracked drum.
Smooth up any slight scores. Heavy or extensive scoring will
cause excessive brake lining wear and it will probably be neces-
sary to resurface drum braking surface.
If brake linings are slightly worn and drum is grooved, drum
should be polished with fine emery cloth but should no be turned.
Brake shoe
Where lining is worn out beyond service limit, replace shoe.
If one of brake linings is to service limit, all linings must be
replaced at the same time.
Rear brake drum shoe thickness “a”
Standard : 7.1 mm (0.28 in.)
Service limit : 3.6 mm (0.14 in.)
INSTALLATION
For the details, refer to the same item of the same section in the
service manual mentioned in the FOREWORD of this manual not-
ing the following.
Before installing brake drum, check outer diameter of brake
shoes (3). If it is not within value as specified below, adjust it
to specification by turning adjuster (2).
Rear brake shoe outer diameter “a” :
253.3 – 253.7 mm (9.972 – 9.988 in.) NOTE:
When drum is removed, visually inspect wheel cylinder
for brake fluid leakage. Correct leaky point, if any.
CAUTION:
Never polish lining with sandpaper. If lining is polished
with sandpaper, hard particles of sandpaper will be
deposited in lining and may damage drum. When it is
required to correct lining, replace it with a new one.
NOTE:
See NOTE at the beginning of this section.

Wheel Cylinder
INSTALLATION
For the details, refer to the same item of the same section in the
service manual mentioned in the FOREWORD of this manual not-
ing the following points.

(or pipes) to wheel cylinder (1) just enough to prevent fluid
from leaking.
Tighten wheel cylinder to brake back plate (1) to specified
torque.
Tightening torque
Wheel cylinder bolt (for non sealed type) (a):
13.5 N·m (1.35 kg-m, 10.0 lb-ft)

ABS Warning Lamp)
1) Perform ABS WARNING LAMP CHECK described above.
2) Using service wire (4), connect diagnosis switch terminal (2)
of monitor coupler (1) to ground (3).
3) Turn ignition switch ON.
4) Read flashing of ABS warning lamp which represents DTC
as shown in example below and write it down. When more
than 2 DTCs are stored in memory, flashing for each DTC is
repeated three times starting with the smallest DTC number
in increasing order.
