7-1
A. WARNING
(Continued) • To prevent damage or unintended
activation of the air bag system or seat belt pretensioner system, be sure the battery is disconnected
and the ignition switch has been in
the "LOCK" position for at least 90 seconds before performing any
electrical service work on your SUZUKI. Do not touch air bag sys­tem components, seat belt preten­sioner system components or wires.
The wires are wrapped with yellow
tape or yellow tubing, and the cou­
plers are yellow for easy identifica­
tion.
• Do not leave the engine running in
garages or other confined areas. • When the engine is running, keep
hands, clothing, tools, and other objects away from the fan and drive belt. Even though the fan may not be moving, it can automatically turn on without warning. • When it is necessary to do service work with the engine running, make sure that the parking brake is set fully and the transmission is in Neutral (for manual transmission vehicles) or Park (for automatic transmission vehicles). (Continued)
A. WARNING
(Continued) • Do not touch ignition wires or other ignition system parts when starting the engine or when the engine is
running, or you could receive an electric shock. • Be careful not. to touch a hot
engine, exhaust manifold and
pipes, muffler, radiator and water
hoses.
• Do not allow smOking, sparks, or flames around gasoline or the bat­
tery. Flammable fumes are present.
• Do not get under your vehicle if it is supported only with the portable jack provided in your vehicle. • Be careful not to cause accidental short circuits between the positive
and negative battery terminals.
• Keep used oil, coolant, and other fluids away from children and pets.
