NOTE:
If you push the temperature selector (1)
until “HI” or “LO” appears on the display,
the climate control system will operate at
maximum heating or cooling. The tempera-
ture of the air from the outlets may change
suddenly while “LO” or “HI” is displayed,
but this is normal.
NOTE:
When you change the unit of temperature
in the information display, the unit of tem-
perature in the air conditioning system will
be changed. Refer to “Information display

Safety information
Notes on discsPrecautions
• When the inside of the vehicle is verycold and the player is used soon after
switching on the heater, condensation
may form on the disc or the optical
parts of the player and proper playback
may not be possible. If condensation
forms on the disc, wipe it off with a soft
cloth. If condensation forms on the opti-
cal parts of the player, do not use the
player for about one hour. This will
allow the condensation to disappear
normally.
• Driving on extremely bumpy roads which cause severe vibrations may
cause sound to skip.
• This unit uses a precision mechanism. Even in the event that trouble arises,
never open the case, disassemble the
unit, or lubricate the rotating parts.
Bring the unit to an authorized SUZUKI
dealer. Cautions on handling
52D274
This unit has been designed specifically for
playback of compact discs bearing mark
(A) shown above.
No other discs
can be played.
WA R N I N G
If you pay too much attention to
operating the audio system or view-
ing the audio system display while
driving, an accident can occur. If
you set the sound volume too loud,
it could prevent you from being
aware of road and tr affic conditions.
• Keep your eyes on the road and your mind on the drive. Avoid pay-
ing too much attention to operat-
ing the audio system or viewing
the audio system display.
• Familiarize yourself with the audio
system controls and operation of
the audio system before driving.
• Preset your favorite radio stations
before driving so that you can
quickly tune to them using the
presets.
• Set the sound volume to a level that will allow you to continue to
be aware of road and traffic condi-
tions while driving.

VEHICLE LOADING AND TOWING
75RM4-01E
Additional trailer towing warnings
WA R N I N G
Connect trailer lights and hook up
safety chains every time you tow.
NOTICE
Because towing a trailer puts addi-
tional stress on your vehicle, more
frequent maintenance will be
required than under normal driving
conditions. Follow the schedule in
“Maintenance recommended under
severe driving conditions”.
WA R N I N G
Your vehicle should be handled in a
different way when towing a trailer.
For the safety of yourself and others,
observe the following precautions:
• Practice turning, stopping, andreversing before you begin towing
a trailer in traffi c. Do not tow a
trailer in traffic until you are confi-
dent that you can handle the vehi-
cle and trailer safely.
• Never exceed towing speed limits
or 80 km/h (50 mph), whichever is
lower.
• Never drive at a speed that causes shaking or swaying of the trailer. If
you notice even the slightest sign
of shaking or sw aying, slow down.
• When roads are wet, slippery or rough, drive at a slower speed than
you would on dry or smooth roads.
Failure to slow down when road
conditions are bad can result in
loss of control.
• Always have someone guide you when reversing.
(Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• Allow adequate stopping distance.Stopping distance is increased
when you tow a trailer. For each 16
km/h (10 mph) of speed, allow at
least one vehicle and trailer length
between you and the vehicle
ahead. Allow a greater stopping
distance if roads are wet or slip-
pery.
• If the trailer has over-run brakes,
apply the brakes gradually to avoid
snatching caused by the trailer
wheels locking.
• Slow down before corners and maintain a steady speed while cor-
nering. Deceleration or accelera-
tion while cornering can result in
loss of control. Remember that a
larger than normal turning radius is
needed because the trailer wheels
will be closer than vehicle wheels
to the inside of the turn.
• Avoid sudden acceleration and stopping of the vehicle. Do not
make quick maneuvers unless they
are necessary.
• Slow down in cross winds and be
prepared for gusts of wind from
large passing vehicles. (Continued)

Tightening torque for drain plug:
35 Nm (3.6 kg-m, 25.8 lb-ft)4) Reinstall the drain plug with new gas-
ket. Tighten the plug with a wrench to
the specif ied torque.
NOTE:
(For models with oil change request light)
• 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 “Inf ormation display” in
the “BEFORE DRIVING” section.
• For more information of the oil change request light and oil life monitoring, refer
to “Oil change request light” in the
“BEFORE DRIVING” section.
Oil filter replacement1) Using an oil filter wr ench, 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.

WA R N I N G
Engine oil can be hazardous. Chil-
dren and pets may be harmed by
swallowing new or used oil. Keep
new and used oil and used oil filters
away from children and pets.
Repeated, prolonged contact with
used engine oil may cause skin can-
cer.
Brief contact with used oil may irri-
tate skin. (Continued)EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
(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
with oil.
Recycle or properly dispose of used
oil and oil filters.

(3) Oil filler and level plug To check the gear oil level, use the fol-
lowing procedure:
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface with
the parking brake applied. Then, stop
the engine.
2) Remove the oil filler and level plug.
For the manual transaxle;
3) If gear oil flows from the plug hole, the
oil level is correct. Reinstall the plug. If
gear oil does not flow from the plug
hole, add oil through the filler plug hole
until oil flows a littl e from the plug hole.
For the transfer and rear differential;
3) Check the inside of the hole with your finger. If the oil level comes up to the
bottom of the plug hole, the oil level is
correct. If so, reinstall the plug.
4) If the oil level is low, add gear oil through the oil filler and level plug hole
until the oil level reaches the bottom of
the filler hole, and then reinstall the
plug.

CAUTION
After driving the vehicle, the gear oil
temperature may be high enough to
burn you. Wait until the oil filler and
level plug are cool enough to touch
with your bare hands before inspect-
ing gear oil level.
NOTICE
When tightening the plug, apply the
following sealing compound or
equivalent to the plug threads to pre-
vent oil leakage.

Parking brake
54G109
Ratchet tooth specification “b”:
4th – 9th
Lever pull force (1):
200 N (20 kg, 45 lbs)
Check the parking brake for proper adjust-
ment by counting the number of clicks
made by the ratchet teeth as you slowly
pull up on the parking brake lever to the
point of full engagement. The parking
brake lever should stop between the speci-
fied ratchet teeth and the rear wheels
should be securely locked. If the parking
brake is not properly adjusted or the
brakes drag after the lever has been fully
released, have the park ing brake inspected
and/or adjusted by your SUZUKI dealer.

If the measured thickness or inner diame-
ter of the most worn part exceeds the
value indicated above, the parts should be
replaced with a new one. The measure-
ment involves disassembling each brake
and requires the use of a micrometer or
caliper, which must be done according to
the instructions described in the relevant
service manual or available from the rele-
vant repair information site.
Steering
75RM035
Steering wheel play “c”:
0 – 30 mm (0.0 – 1.2 in.)
Check the play of the steering wheel by
gently turning it from left to right and mea-
suring the distance that it moves before
you feel slight resistance. The play should
be between the specified values.
Check that the steering wheel turns easily
and smoothly without r attling by turning it
all the way to the right and to the left while
driving very slowly in an open area. If the
amount of free play is not as specified or
you find anything else to be wrong, an
inspection must be performed by your
SUZUKI dealer.
