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 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 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
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:
All brake 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 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 specified during reassembly to assure
proper retention of all parts. There is to be no welding as it may result in extensive damage and weakening
of the metal.

FRONT BRAKE HOSE / PIPE
REMOVAL
1) Raise and suitably support vehicle. Remove tire and wheel.
This operation is not necessary when removing pipes connecting master cylinder and flexible hose.
2) Clean dirt and foreign material from both hose end or pipe end fittings. Remove brake hose or pipe.
INSTALLATION
1) Reverse removal procedure for brake hose and pipe installation procedure.
For installation, make sure that steering wheel is in straightforward position and hose has no twist or kink. Check
to make sure that hose doesn't contact any part of suspension, both in extreme right and extreme left turn condi-
tions. If it does at any point, remove and correct. Fill and maintain brake fluid level in reservoir. Bleed brake sys-
tem.
2) Perform brake test and check installed part for fluid leakage.
