Engine coolantSelection of coolantTo maintain optimum performance and
durability of your engine, use SUZUKI gen-
uine coolant or equivalent.
NOTE:
If you use the engine coolant other than
the SUZUKI LLC: Super (Blue) for replace-
ment, follow the schedule of SUZUKI LLC:
Standard (Green). To see the detail of the
maintenance schedule, refer to “Periodic
maintenance schedule” in this section.
This type of coolant is the best for cooling
system for the following reasons:
• The coolant helps maintain properengine temperature.
• It gives proper protection against freez- ing and boiling.
• It gives proper protection against corro- sion and rust. Failure to use the proper coolant can dam-
age your cooling system. Your authorized
SUZUKI dealer can help you select the
proper coolant.
Coolant level checkCheck the coolant le
vel at the reservoir
tank, not at the radiator. With the engine
cool, the coolant level should be between
“FULL” and “LOW” marks.Adding coolant
NOTICE
SUZUKI LLC: Super (Blue) coolant;
This coolant is already diluted to the
proper percentage. Do not dilute with
distilled water additionally. Doing so
may result in the possibility of freez-
ing and/or overheating coolant.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging your cooling sys-
tem:
• Always use a high quality ethylene
glycol base non-silicate type cool-
ant diluted with distilled water at
the correct mixture concentration.
• Check that the proper mix is 50/50
coolant to distill ed water and in no
case higher than 70/30. Concentra-
tions greater than 70/30 coolant to
distilled water will cause overheat-
ing conditions.
• Do not use straight coolant nor plain water (except SUZUKI LLC:
Super (Blue)).
• Do not add extra inhibitors or addi- tives. They may not be compatible
with your cooling system.
• Do not mix different types of base coolants. Doing so may result in
accelerated seal wear and/or the
possibility of severe overheating
and extensive engine or CVT (if
equipped) damage.
WA R N I N G
Swallowing engine coolant can cause
severe injury or death. Inhaling cool-
ant mist or vapors or getting coolant
in your eyes could result in severe
injury.
• Do not drink antifreeze or coolantsolution. If swallowed, do not
induce vomiting. Immediately con-
tact a poison control center or a
physician.
• Avoid inhaling coolant mist or hot
vapors. If inhaled, remove to a
fresh air area.
• If coolant gets in the eyes, flush
with water and seek medical atten-
tion.
• Wash thoroughly after handling
coolant.
• Keep engine coolant out of the
reach of children and pets.

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.

To avoid damaging the catalytic converter,
you must use unleaded gasoline with an
octane number (RON) of 91 or higher.
These vehicles are also identified by a
label attached near the fuel filler pipe that
states: “UNLEADED FUEL ONLY”, “NUR
UNVERBLEITES BENZIN”, “ENDAST
BLYFRI BENSIN” or “SOLO GASOLINA
SIN PLOMO”. Gasoline-ethanol blends
Blends of unleaded gasoline and ethanol
(grain alcohol), also known as gasohol, are
commercially available in certain areas.
Blends of this type may be used in your
vehicle if they are no more than 10% etha-
nol.
Check that this gasoline-ethanol blend has
octane ratings no lower than those recom-
mended for the gasoline.
NOTE:
If you are not satisfied with the driveability
or fuel economy of your vehicle when you
use a gasoline-alcohol blend, you should
switch back to unleaded gasoline contain-
ing no alcohol.
EXAMPLE
NOTICE
The fuel tank has an air space to
allow for fuel expansion in hot
weather. If you continue to add fuel
after the filler nozzle has automati-
cally shut off or an initial blowback
occurs, the air chamber will become
full. Exposure to heat when fully
fuelled in this manner will result in
leakage due to fuel expansion. To
prevent such fuel leakage, stop filling
after the filler nozzle has automati-
cally shut off, or when initial vent
blowback occurs, if using an alterna-
tive non-automatic system.
NOTICE
Be careful not to spill fuel containing
alcohol while refueling. If fuel is
spilled on the vehicle body, wipe it up
immediately. Fuels containing alco-
hol can cause paint damage, which is
not covered under the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
