Temperature gauge
61MM0A155
When the ignition switch is in “ON” position
or the ignition mode is “ON”, this gauge
indicates the engine coolant temperature.
Under normal driving conditions, the indi-
cator should stay within the normal,
acceptable temperature range between
“H” and “C”. If the indicator approaches
“H”, overheating is indicated. Follow the
instructions for “Engine trouble: Overheat-
ing” in “EMERGENCY SERVICE” section.
Brightness control
61MM0A156
When the ignition switch is turned to “ON”
position or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to “ON”, the
instrument cluster lights come on.
Your vehicle has a system to automatically
dim the brightness of the instrument clus-
ter lights when the position lights or head-
lights are on.
You can change the brightness of the
instrument cluster lights regardless of
whether the position lights or headlights
are off or on.
To increase the brightness of the instru-
ment cluster lights, turn the indicator selec-
tor knob (1) clockwise. To reduce the brightness of the instrument
cluster lights, turn the indicator selector
knob (1) counterclockwise.

NOTE:
• If you do not turn the knob for more than
5 seconds while activating the bright-
ness control, the brightness control dis-
play will be canceled automatically.
• When you reconnect the battery, the
brightness of the instrument cluster
lights will be reinitialized. Readjust the
brightness according to your preference.
NOTE:
If you select the high brightness level when
the position lights or headlights are on, the
instrument cluster lights are not dimmed.
NOTICE
Continuing to drive the vehicle when
engine overheating is indicated can
result in severe engine damage.

5) Reinstall the drain plug and gasket.
Tighten the plug with a wrench to the
specified torque.
NOTE:
• Whenever the engine oil is changed, the
oil life monitoring must be reset to moni-
tor the next oil change timing properly.
To reset the light, consult your SUZUKI
dealer. If you reset it by yourself, refer to
“Setting mode” in “BEFORE DRIVING”
section (for gasoline engine model).
• For more information of the oil change
request light and oil life monitoring, refer
to “Oil change request light (if equipped)”
and “Information display” in “BEFORE
DRIVING” section.
Oil filter replacement
NOTE:
(For diesel engine model)
Since special procedures and tools are
required, ask your authorized SUZUKI
dealer for this job.
1) Using an oil filter wrench, turn the oil fil-
ter counterclockwise and remove it.
2) Using a clean rag, wipe off the mount-
ing surface on the engine where the
new filter will be seated.
3) Smear a small amount of engine oil
around the rubber gasket of the new oil
filter.
4) Screw the new filter by hand until the fil-
ter gasket contacts the mounting sur-
face.(For gasoline engine model)

(Continued)
To minimize your exposure to used
oil, wear a long-sleeve shirt and
moisture-proof gloves (such as dish-
washing gloves) when changing oil. If
oil contacts your skin, wash thor-
oughly with soap and water.
Launder any clothing or rags if it is

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
54P00-01E
If the coolant level is below “LOW” mark,
more coolant should be added. When the
engine is cool, remove the degassing tank
cap by turning it counterclockwise slowly to
release any pressure. And add coolant
until the degassing tank level reaches
“FULL” mark. Never fill the degassing tank
above “FULL” mark.
Coolant replacement
Since special procedures are required, ask
your authorized SUZUKI dealer for this job.
Air cleaner
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there
will be greater intake resistance, resulting
in decreased power output and increased
fuel consumption.
(For gasoline engine model)
61MM0B063
1) Remove the air cleaner inlet hose (1).
2) Remove the bolts (2), loosen the bolt
(3) and lift the air cleaner case (4)
directly above.
61MM0B064
3) Unclamp the side clamps, and remove
the element from the air cleaner case. If
it appears to be dirty, replace it with a
new one.
4) Clamp the side clamps or tighten the
bolts securely.
WA R N I N G
It is hazardous to remove the reser-
voir tank cap (degassing tank cap) for
a diesel engine when the water tem-
perature is high, because scalding
fluid and steam may be blown out
under pressure. Wait until the coolant
temperature has lowered before
removing the cap.
NOTICE
When lifting the air cleaner, check that
the air cleaner does not interfere with
the engine oil dipstick (5) to avoid
damage the dipstick.

Open the engine hood. Disconnect the
coupler by pushing the lock release. Turn
the bulb holder counterclockwise and
remove it.
CAUTION
• Light bulbs can be hot enough to
burn your finger right after turning
off lights. This is true especially for
halogen headlight bulbs. Replace
the bulbs after they become cool
enough.
• The headlight bulbs are filled with
pressurized halogen gas. They can
burst and injure you if they are hit
or dropped. Handle them carefully.
• To avoid injury by sharp-edged
parts of the body, wear gloves and
a long-sleeved shirt when replacing
light bulbs.
NOTICE
The oils from your skin may cause a
halogen bulb to overheat and burst
when the lights are on. Grasp a new
bulb with a clean cloth.
NOTICE
Frequent bulb replacement indicates
the need for an inspection of the elec-
trical system. This should be carried
out by your SUZUKI dealer.
