Suzuki Grand Vitara JB416 / JB420. Manual

For vehicles equipped with a Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag) System:
When servicing vehicle body, if shock may be applied to air bag system component parts, remove
those parts beforehand.

Fastener Caution for Body Service

S5JB0A9000003

CAUTION

• Fasteners are important attaching parts in that they could affect the performance of vital

components and systems, and/or could result in major repair expense. They must be replaced with
one of the same part number of with an equivalent part if replacement become necessary.

• Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality or substitute a design. Torque values must be used

as specified during reassembly to assure proper retention of these parts.

Cautions in Body Electrical System Servicing

S5JB0A9100001

When performing works related to electric systems,
observe the cautions described in “Precautions for
Electrical Circuit Service in Section 00” for the purpose
of protection of electrical parts and prevention of a fire
from occurrence.

Precautions for Wiring System

S5JB0A9100002

WARNING

(For the vehicles with the Supplemental
Restraint System (Air Bags) and/or the Seat
Belt Pretensioner System)
Service on or around the air bag system /
Seat belt pretensioner system components
or their wiring must be performed only by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer. Observe all the
warnings of the “Air Bag System” and
disable the systems before performing the
service. Failure to follow the Warnings could
result in unintended activation of the
systems or could render the systems
inoperative. Either of these two conditions
may result in severe injury.

CAUTION

To prevent damage to the electrical/
electronic parts (especially computers or
semi-conductors) or to prevent fire:

• When disconnecting the battery terminals, be sure to

1: turn off the ignition switch and all other switches,
2: disconnect the negative (–) terminal wire and then
3: disconnect the positive (+) terminal wire.
Connect the wires in the reverse order of
disconnecting.

• When disconnecting the connectors, be sure to unlock

the connector lock (if equipped) and then pull the
connector shells to detach them. Do not pull the wires.

• Connect the connectors by holding the connector

shells. Make sure they are securely locked.

• Install the wiring harness securely without any slack.
• When installing parts, make sure the wiring harness is

not interfered with or pinched by them.

• Avoid routing the wiring harness near or around a

sharp corner or edge of the vehicle body or parts as
much as possible. If necessary, protect the wiring
harness by winding tape or the like around on it.

• When replacing a fuse, make sure to use the specified

capacity fuse. Using a fuse with a larger capacity can
cause damage to the electrical parts or a fire.

• Do not handle electrical/ electronic parts (computer,

relay, etc.) roughly or drop them.

• Do not expose electrical/ electronic parts to high

temperature (Approximately 80

°C (176 °F) or higher)

or water.

• Be sure to insert the tester probe (or, if necessary, an

appropriate needle or wire designed for the inspection
work) into the back side (wiring harness side) of the
connector for inspection not to damage or deform the
terminal of the connector.
