have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that
the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See your authorized Suzuki dealer for information on whether
your vehicle may benefit from the information. Suzuki reserves the right to change technical specifications at any time without prior notice.
