the oil level reaches the bottom of the Clutch Pedal filler hole, then reinstall the plug.
.A WARNING
After driving the vehicle, the gear oil
temperature may be high enough to
burn you. Wait until the oil filler
plug is cool enough to touch with your W\\N bare hands before inspecting gear
oil.
CAUTION
When tightening the plug, apply seal­ing compound "SUZUKI Bond No. 1215" or equivalent to the plug threads to prevent oil leakage.

Check the clutch pedal for smooth opera­tion and clutch fluid level from time to time. If clutch dragging is felt with the pedal fully depressed, have the clutch inspected by
your SUZUKI dealer. If the clutch fluid level is near the "MIN" line, fill it up to the "MAX"
line with SAE J1703 or DOT-3 brake fluid.
Automatic Transmission (AT)
Fluid
Specified Fluid Use an automatic transmission fluid
SUZUKI ATF 3317 or Mobil ATF 3309.
Fluid Level Check
CAUTION
Driving with too much or too little
fluid can damage the transmission.
You must check the fluid level with the
automatic transmission fluid at normal operating temperature.
To check the fluid level: 1) To warm up the transmission fluid, drive
the vehicle or idle the engine until the
temperature gauge indicates normal operating temperature. 2) Then drive for ten more minutes.
CAUTION
Be sure to use the specified auto­matic transmission fluid. Using auto­matic transmission fluid other than SUZUKI ATF 3317 or Mobil ATF 3309 may damage the automatic transmis­sion of your vehicle.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTE: Do not check the fluid level if you have just driven the vehicle for a long time at high
speed, if you have driven in city traffic in hot weather, or if the vehicle has been pull­
ing a trailer. Wait until the fluid cools down
(about
30 minutes), or the fluid level indica­
tion will not be correct.
3} Park your vehicle on level ground. 4} Apply the parking brake and then start
the engine in "P" (Park). Let it idle for two minutes and keep it running during
the fluid level check. . 5} With your foot on the brake pedal, move the gearshift lever through each range,
pausing for about three seconds in each range. Then move it back to the "P" (Park) position.
A. WARNING
Be sure to depress the brake pedal
when moving the gearshift lever, or the vehicle can move suddenly.

6} The handle of the AfT fluid dipstick is colored red for easy identification.
Remove the dipstick, clean it and push it back in until the cap seats. Then pull out the dipstick. 7} Check both sides of the dipstick, and read the lowest level. The fluid level should be between the two marks in the "HOT' range on the dipstick.
