To replace the timing belt on the Suzuki Vitara, loosen the screws that secure the panel at the front of the engine block: once the fixing screws of this panel are loosened, the underlying belt will be accessible. This must be removed by reducing its tension, completely removing the tensioner pulley: after this has been removed, you can slide the belt off the respective pulleys and install the new one. After installation, cover everything back with the panels and check the engine's proper functioning.
