Trip SUZUKI SWIFT 2008 2.G Service Workshop Manual

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 0A-3 General Information:
There are two kinds of colored wire used in this vehicle. One is single-colored wire and the other is dual-colored
(striped) wire.
The single-colored wire uses only one color symbol (i.e. “GRN”).
The dual-colored wire uses two color sy mbols (i.e. “GRN/YEL”). The first symbo l represents the base color of the wire
(“GRN” in the figure) and the second symbol represents the color of the stripe (“YEL” in the figure).
Fasteners InformationS7RS0B0101004
Metric Fasteners
Most of the fasteners used for this vehicle are JIS-
defined and ISO-defined metric fasteners. When
replacing any fasteners, it is most important that
replacement fasteners be the correct diameter, thread
pitch and strength.
CAUTION!
Even when the nominal diameter (1) of thread
is the same, the thread pitch (2) or the width
across flats (3) may vary between ISO and
JIS. Refer to JIS-TO-ISO Main Fasteners
Comparison Table below for the difference.
Installing a mismatched bolt or nut will cause
damage to the thread.
Before installing, check the thread pitch for
correct matching and then tighten it by hand
temporarily. If it is tight, recheck the thread
pitch.

JIS-TO-ISO Main Fasteners Comparison Table Fastener Strength Identification
Most commonly used metric fastener strength property
classes are 4T, 6.8, 7T, 8.8 and radial line with the class
identification embossed on the head of each bolt. Some
metric nuts will be marked with punch, 6 or 8 mark
strength identification on the nut face. Figure shows the
different strength markings.
When replacing metric fasteners, be careful to use bolts
and nuts of the same strength or greater than the original
fasteners (the same number marking or higher). It is
likewise important to select replacement fasteners of the
correct diameter and thread
pitch. Correct replacement
bolts and nuts are available through the parts division.
Metric bolts: Identification class numbers or marks
correspond to bolt strength (increasing numbers
represent increasing strength).

Precautions
Precaution for Emergency Flat Tire Repair KitS7RS0B2400001
WARNING!
Flat tire repair sealant including in kit is
harmful. Be sure to observe the following.
Otherwise, your health may be ruined.
• If swallowed, get medical attention immediately.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Select place where there is good ventilation for this work.
• If it enters eye or contacts skin, wash thoroughly with water. If anything
abnormal still rema ins, get medical
attention immediately.
• Do not discard tire containing sealant as it is. Make sure to remove sealant from tire,
referring to “Tire Repair for Emergency
Repaired-Tire with Sealant”.
• Dispose of sealant as waste oil.

CAUTION!
• When tire repaired with Emergency Flat Tire Repair Kit is brought in, remove flat
tire repair sealant from tire and repair flat
tire referring to “Tire Repair for Emergency
Repaired-Tire with Sealant”.
• Sealant expiration date is printed on bottle label. if it expires, sealant should be
replaced with a new one to ensure
emergency flat tire repair.

General Description
Tires DescriptionS7RS0B2401001
The tire is of tubeless type. The tire is designed to
operate satisfactorily with loads up to the full rated load
capacity when inflated to the recommended inflation
pressures.
Correct tire pressures and driving habits have an
important influence on tire life. Heavy cornering,
excessively rapid acceleration, and unnecessary sharp
braking increase tire wear.
Tire Placard
The “Tire Placard” is located on the left or right door lock
pillar and should be referred to tire information.
The placard lists the maximum load, tire size and cold
tire pressure where applicable.
NOTE
Whether rim size and/or maximum load are
listed or not depends on regulations of each
country.

Inflation of Tires
The pressure recommended for any model is carefully
calculated to give a satisfacto ry ride, stability, steering,
tread wear, tire life and resistance to bruises.
Tire pressure, with tires cold, (after vehicle has set for 3
hours or more, or driven less than one mile) should be
checked monthly or before any extended trip. Set to the
specifications on the “Tire Placard” located on the left
door lock pillar.
It is normal for tire pressure to increase when the tires
become hot during driving.
Do not bleed or reduce tire pressure after driving.
Bleeding reduces the “Cold Inflation Pressure”.
Higher than recommended pressure can cause:
• Hard ride
• Tire bruising or carcass damage
• Rapid tread wear at center of tire
Unequal pressure on same axle can cause:
• Uneven braking
• Steering lead
• Reduced handling
• Swerve on acceleration

General Description
Front Drive Shaft ConstructionS7RS0B3101001
A constant velocity ball joint is used on the wheel side of both right and left side drive shaft assemblies. For A/T
vehicle, a tripod type constant velocity joint is used on the differential side and center shaft side. For M/T vehicle, a
double offset type constant velocity joint (DOJ) is used on the differential side and center shaft side. The drive shaft
can slide through the tripod joint or the double offset joint (DOJ) in the extension/contraction direction.
