2003 Suzuki Vitara Service and Repair Manual

Reduced to a single trim, the 2003 Vitara came as a two-door soft-top convertible or four-door with the 127-horsepower 2.0L DOHC four, a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic, and rear- or part-time four-wheel drive. This was the final year for the four-cylinder Vitara and its convertible in the US. Because the lineup was pared back and equipment consolidated, this service and repair manual targets 2003 with procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams, diagnostics and maintenance schedules for both body styles.
