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 autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to ªAir Bag System Components and Wiring Location Viewº under ªGener-
al Descriptionº in air bag system section in order to confirm whether you are performing service on
or near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARNINGS and ªService Precau-
tionsº under ªOn-Vehicle Serviceº 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 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
ªLOCKº 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.

1A-2 HEATER AND VENTILATION
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.

HEATER AND VENTILATION 1A-3
BODY VENTILATION
The body ventilation system of this vehicle has a fresh air intake located at the cowl top panel. When fresh air intake
control lever is at FRESH AIR position, ventilating air is drawn into the interior from the cowl center garnish and
drawn out from the ventilator outlet provided at each side body outer panel (both right and left side).
