Suzuki GRAND VITARA 1999, Manual

Page: 15 / 35

Precautions: 00-12
A/C System Caution
S6JB0A0000011
CAUTION
!
The air conditioning system of this vehicle
uses refrigerant HFC-134a (R-134a).
None of refrigerant, compressor oil and
component parts is interchangeable between
two types of A/C: one using refrigerant CFC-
12 (R-12) and the other using refrigerant HFC-
134a (R-134a).
Be sure to check which refrigerant is used
before any service work including inspection
and maintenance. For identification between
these two types, refer to “A/C Refrigerant
Type Description in Section 7B”.
When replenishing or changing refrigerant
and compressor oil and when replacing
parts, make sure that the material or the part
to be used is appropriate to the A/C installed
in the vehicle being serviced.
Use of incorrect one will result in leakage of
refrigerant, damage in parts or other faulty
condition.
Fastener Caution
S6JB0A0000012
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.
Suspension Caution
S6JB0A0000013
CAUTION
!
• All 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 specified
during reassembly to assure proper
retention of this part.
• Never attempt to heat, quench or
straighten any suspension part. Replace it
with a new part or damage to the part may
result.
Wheels and Tires Caution
S6JB0A0000014
CAUTION
!
All wheel fasteners are important attaching
parts in that they 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 specified during reassembly to
assure proper retention of all parts.
There is to be no welding as it may result in
extensive damage and weakening of the
metal.
