Suzuki Grand Vitara: Warning
WARNING: You should take extreme
care when working on your vehicle to prevent accidental injury. Here are a few precautions
that you should be especially careful to observe:
• To prevent damage or unintended inflation of the air bag 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 or wires. The wires are wrapped with yellow tape
or yellow tubing, and the couplers are yellow for easy identification.
• 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 moving fan and fan belt.
• 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).
• 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 battery. 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, engine coolant and other fluids away from children and pets. Dispose
of used fluids properly; never pour them on the ground, into sewers, etc.
