you trust this job to your authorized
SUZUKI dealer.
Continuously variable transaxle (CVT) fluidSpecified fluidUse a CVT fluid SUZUKI CVT FLUID
GREEN-2.Fluid level checkYou must check the fluid level with the CVT
fluid at normal ope rating temperature.
To check the fluid level:
1) To warm up the CVT fluid, drive the vehicle for more 5 km. NOTE:
Do not check the fluid level if you have just
driven the vehicle for a long time at high
speed, or 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 indi-
cation will not be correct.
2) Park your vehicle on level ground.
3) 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.
4) With your foot on the brake pedal,
move the gearshift lever through each
gear, pausing for about three seconds
in each range. Then move it back to the
“P” (Park) position.
NOTICE
When replacing spark plugs, you
should use the brand and type speci-
fied for your vehicle. For the specified
plugs, refer to “SPECIFICATIONS”
section in the end of this book. If you
wish to use a brand of spark plug
other than the specified plugs, con-
sult your SUZUKI dealer.
NOTICE
Driving with too much or too little
fluid can damage the transaxle.
NOTICE
Be sure to use the specified CVT
fluid. Using CVT fluid other than
SUZUKI CVT FLUID GREEN-2 may
damage the CVT of your vehicle.
WA R N I N G
Be sure to depress the brake pedal
when moving the gearshift lever, or
the vehicle can move suddenly.

Tires
80JS025
The front and rear tire pressure specifica-
tions are listed on the tire information label.
Both front and rear tires should have the
specified tire pressure.
Note that the value does not apply to the
compact spare tire, if equipped.
NOTE:
The tire inflation pressure will change due
to changes in atmospheric pressure, tem-
perature or tire temperature when driving.
To reduce the chance that the low tire
pressure warning light (if equipped) will
come on due to normal changes in tem-
perature and atmospheric pressure, it is
important to check and adjust the tire pres-
sures when the tires are cold. If you check
tires after driving, they are warm. Even ifthe tire pressure seems to be good in this
condition, it could fall below the specified
pressure when tires co
ol down. Also, tires
that are inflated to the specified pressure
in a warm garage may have pressure
below the specification when the vehicle is
driven outside in very cold temperature. If
you adjust the tire pressure in a garage
that is warmer than the outside tempera-
ture, you should add 1 kPa to the recom-
mended cold tire inflation pressure for
every 0.8°C difference between garage
temperature and outside temperature.
Tire inspectionInspect your vehicle’s tires at least once a
month by performing the following checks:
1) Measure the air pressure with a tire gauge. Adjust the pressure if neces-
sary. Remember to check the spare
tire, too.
EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
• Air pressures should be checkedwhen the tires are cold or you may
get inaccurate readings.
• Check the inflation pressure from time to time while inflating the tire
gradually, until the specified pres-
sure is obtained.
• Never under-inflate or over-inflate the tires.
Under-inflation can cause unusual
handling characteristics or can
cause the rim to slip on the tire
bead, resulting in an accident or
damage to the tire or rim.
Over-inflation can cause the tire to
burst, resulting in personal injury.
Over-inflation c an also cause
unusual handling characteristics
which may result in an accident.

(1) Tread wear indicator
(2) Indicator location mark
2) Check that the depth of the tread groove is more than 1.6 mm (0.06 in.).
To help you check this, the tires have
molded-in tread wear indicators in the
grooves. When the indicators appear
on the tread surface, the remaining
depth of the tread is 1.6 mm (0.06 in.)
or less and the tire should be replaced.
3) Check for abnormal wear, cracks and damage. Any tires with cracks or other
damage should be replaced. If any tires
show abnormal wear, have them
inspected by your SUZUKI dealer. 4) Check for loose wheel nuts.
5) Check that there are no nails, stones or
other objects sticki ng into the tires.

EXAMPLE
CAUTION
Hitting curbs and running over rocks
can damage tires and affect wheel
alignment. Have tires and wheel
alignment checked periodically by
your SUZUKI dealer.
WA R N I N G
• Your SUZUKI vehicle is equipped
with tires which are all the same
type and size. This is important to
ensure proper steering and han-
dling of the vehicle. Never mix tires
of different size or type on the four
wheels of your vehicle. The size
and type of tires used should be
only those approved by SUZUKI as
standard or optional equipment for
your vehicle.
• Replacing the wheels and tires
equipped on your vehicle with cer-
tain combinations of aftermarket
wheels and tires can significantly
change the steering and handling
characteristics of your vehicle.
• Therefore, use only those wheel
and tire combinations approved by
SUZUKI as standard or optional
equipment for your vehicle.
NOTICE
Replacing the original tires with tires
of a different size may result in false
speedometer or odometer readings.
Check with your SUZUKI dealer
before purchasing replacement tires
that differ in size from the original
tires.
NOTICE
For 4WD models, replacing a tire with
one of a different size, or using differ-
ent brands among the four tires can
result in damage to the drive train.

For maintenance-free battery (cap-less
type), you need not add water. For tradi-
tional type battery, which has water filler
caps, the level of the battery solution must
be kept between the upper level line (1)
and lower level line (2) at all times. If the
level is found to be below the lower level
line (2), add distilled water to the upper
level line (1). You should periodically check
the battery, battery terminals, and battery
hold-down bracket for corrosion. Remove
corrosion using a stiff brush and ammonia
mixed with water, or baking soda mixed
with water. After removing corrosion, rinse
with clean water.
If your vehicle is not going to be driven for
a month or longer, disconnect the cable
from the negative terminal of the battery to
help prevent discharge.Replacement of the battery
