1996 Suzuki Esteem Service and Repair Manual

Air conditioning became standard on every 1996 Esteem, the main change in the sedan's second year. Buyers again chose among GL, GLX and GLX Plus, each powered by the 1.6-liter SOHC four-cylinder with a five-speed manual or automatic transmission. The wagon was still two years away, so every 1996 car is a four-door sedan. With this service and repair manual you get procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams, diagnostics and maintenance schedules for the 1996 build, including the air-conditioning system now fitted across the range.
