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. Please observe all WARNINGS and “Service Precautions” under “On-
Vehicle Service” in air bag system section before performing service on or around the air bag sys-
tem 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.
The procedures in this section must be followed in the order listed to temporarily disable the air
bag system and prevent false diagnostic codes from setting. Failure to follow procedures could
result in possible air bag system activation, personal injury or otherwise unneeded air bag system
repairs.
CAUTION:
When fasteners are removed, always reinstall them at the same location from which they were
removed. If a fastener needs to be replaced, use the correct part number fastener for that application.
If the correct part number fastener is not available, a fastener of equal size and strength (or stronger)
may be used. Fasteners that are not reused, and those requiring thread-locking compound, will be
called out. The correct torque value must be used when installing fasteners that require it. If the above
procedures are not followed, parts or system damage could result.

General Description
This double tube type steering column has the following three important features in addition to the steering func-
tion:
The column is energy absorbing, designed to compress in a front-end collision.
The ignition switch and lock are mounted conveniently on this column.
With the column mounted lock, the ignition and steering operations can be locked to inhibit theft of the vehi-
cle.
To insure the energy absorbing action, it is important that only the specified screws, bolts and nuts be used as
designated and that they are tightened to the specified torque.
When the column assembly is removed from the vehicle, special care must be taken in handling it. Use of a
steering wheel puller other than the one recommended in this manual or a sharp blow on the end of the steering
shaft, leaning on the assembly, or dropping the assembly could shear the plastic shear pins which maintain col-
umn length and position.
The driver air bag (inflator) module is one of the supplemental restraint (air bag) system components and is
mounted to the center of the steering wheel. During certain frontal crashes, the air bag system supplements the
restraint of the driver’s and passenger’s seat belts by deploying the air bags.
The air bag (inflator) module should be handled with care to prevent accidental deployment. When servicing, be
sure to observe all WARNINGS and CAUTIONS in this section and “Service Precautions” in Section 10B.

Check air bag (inflator) module visually and if any of the following
is found, replace it with a new one.
Air bag being deployed
Trim cover (1) (pad surface) being cracked
Wire harness (3) or connector being damaged
Air bag (inflator) module being damaged or having been
exposed to strong impact (dropped)
INSTALLATION
1) Check that horn wire is connected to horn terminal securely.
2) Connect yellow connector (1) of driver air bag (inflator) mod-
ule (3) pushing connector till it is locked.
3) Install driver air bag (inflator) module to steering wheel, tak-
ing care so that no part of wire harness is caught between
them.
4) Make sure that clearance between module and steering
wheel is uniform all the way.
5) Tighten driver air bag (inflator) module mounting bolts (1) to
specified torque.
Tightening torque

under “Service Precautions” in Section 10B.
Steering Wheel
2. Inflator case
CAUTION:
For vehicle with air bag system
Removal of the steering wheel allows the contact coil to
turn freely but do not turn the contact coil (on the combi-
nation switch) more than allowable number of turns
(about two and a half turns from the center position
clockwise or counterclockwise respectively), or coil will
break.

4) Install steering wheel pad (for vehicle without air bag system)
or driver air bag (inflator) module (for vehicle with air bag
system) as follows.
For vehicle without air bag system
–For TYPE A
a) Connect horn connector.
b) Install steering wheel pad.
–For TYPE B
a) To install the pad, hook (1) the upper part of the pad to the
pawl of the steering wheel and push in the lower part of the
pad until it fits to the set spring securely.
For vehicle with air bag system
a) Install driver air bag (inflator) module to steering wheel.
Refer to “Driver Air Bag (Inflator) Module” in this section.
Centering contact coil (for vehicle with air bag sys-
tem)
1) Check that vehicle’s wheels (front tires) are set at straight-
ahead position.
2) Check that ignition switch is at “LOCK” position.
3) Turn contact coil counterclockwise slowly with a light force till
contact coil will not turn any further. NOTE:
After installing the steering wheel, turn the steering
wheel about 1 full rotation so that the cancel cam pin fits
into the pin hole in the steering wheel and then check the
turn signal lever for proper function.
NOTE:
Contact coil can turn about 5 turns at maximum, that is, if
it is at the center position, can turn about two and a half
turns both clockwise and counterclockwise.

Steering Column Assembly
CAUTION:
Once the steering column is removed from the vehicle,
the column is extremely susceptible to damage.
Dropping the column assembly on its end could col-
lapse the steering shaft or loosen the plastic shear
pins which maintain column length.
Leaning on the column assembly could cause it to
bend or deform.
Any of the above damage could impair the column’s col-
lapsible design.
NOTE:
When servicing steering column or any column-mounted
component, remove steering wheel. But when removing
steering column simply to gain access to instrument
panel components, leave steering wheel installed on
steering column.

WARNING:
When hoisting vehicle, be sure to select the lifting point suitable for the service work referring to Sec-
tion 0A.
NOTE:
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.

Wheel Disc, Nut and Bearing Check
1) Inspect each wheel disc for dents, distortion and cracks.
Disc in badly damaged condition must be replaced.
2) Check wheel nuts for tightness and as necessary, retighten
them to specification.
Tightening torque
Wheel nuts
(a) : 95 N·m (9.5 kg-m, 69.0 lb-ft)
3) Check wheel bearing for wear. After retightening lock nut to
specified torque, apply dial gauge to wheel hub center and
measure thrust play.
Wheel bearing thrust play limit
: 0.05 mm (0.002 in)
When measurement exceeds limit, replace bearing.
4) By rotating wheel actually, check wheel bearing for noise and
smooth rotation. If defective, replace bearing.
