MaintenanceIf  you  do  not  use  the  air  conditioner  for  a
long  period,  such  as  during  winter,  it  may
not  give  the  best  performance  when  you
start  using  it  again.  To  help  maintain  opti-
mum performance and durability of your air
conditioner,  it  needs  to  be  run  periodically.
Operate the air conditioner at least once a
month  for  one  minute  with  the  engine
idling. This circulates the refrigerant and oil
and helps protect the internal components.
If  your  air  conditioner  is  equipped  with  air
filters,  clean  or  replace  them  as  specified
in  “Maintenance  schedule”  in  the
“INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE” sec-
tion. 
(For vehicles using “HFO-1234yf” refrig-
erant)
NOTE:
Your vehicle uses the air conditioning
refrigerant HFO-1234yf, commonly called
R-1234yf. R-1234yf replaced R-134a for
automotive applications. Other refriger-
ants are available, but only R-1234yf
should be used in your vehicle.
NOTICE
Using  the  wrong  refrigerant  may
damage  your  air  conditioning  sys-
tem. Use R-1234yf only. Do not mix or
replace the R-1234yf with other refrig-
erants.
(Except for vehicles using “HFO-1234yf”

WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• Be  careful  when  overtaking  othervehicles.  Allow  enough  room  for
your  trailer  before  changing  lanes,
and  use  turn  signal  lights  properly
in advance.
• Slow  down  and  shift  into  a  lower gear before you reach long or steep
downhill  grades.  It  is  hazardous  to
attempt downshifting while you are
descending a hill.
• Do  not  step  on  the  brake  pedal strongly.  This  could  cause  the
brakes  to  over-heat  resulting  in
reduced  braking  efficiency.  Use
engine  braking  as  much  as  possi-
ble.
• Because  of  the  added  trailer weight,  your  engine  may  overheat
on hot days when going up long or
steep  hills.  Pay  attention  to  your
engine temperature. If the high
engine  coolant  temperature  warn-
ing  light  (red  color)  indicates  over-
heating,  pull  off  the  road  and  stop
the vehicle in a safe place. Refer to
“Engine  trouble:  Overheating”  in
the  “EMERGENCY  SERVICE”  sec-
tion.
WA R N I N G
When  parking  your  vehicle  and  con-
nected  trailer,  always  use  the  follow-
ing procedure:
1) Apply the vehicle’s brakes firmly.
2) Have  another  person  place  wheel
chocks  under  the  wheels  of  the
vehicle  and  the  trailer  while  you
are holding the brakes.
3) Slowly release the brakes until the wheel chocks absorb the load.
4) Fully engage the parking brake.
5) Manual  transaxle  –  turn  off  the engine,  then  shift  into  reverse  or
first gear. 
Auto Gear Shift – shift into reverse
or first gear and check the gear
position  indicator  in  the  instru-
ment cluster to make sure that the
transaxle  is  engaged  in  1st  or
reverse, then turn off the engine. 
CVT  –  shift  into  “P”  (Park)  and
turn off the engine.
When starting out after parking:
1) Depress  the  clutch  and  start  the engine.
2) Shift into gear, release the parking brake,  and  slowly  pull  away  from
the chocks.
3) Stop,  apply  the  brakes  firmly  and hold them.
4) Have  another  person  remove  the
chocks.

7-25INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
75RM4-01E
It is important to keep the engine oil at the
correct  level  for  proper  lubrication  of  your
vehicle’s  engine.  Check  the  oil  level  with
the vehicle on a level surface. The oil level
indication  may  be  inaccurate  if  the  vehicle
is  on  a  slope.  The  oil  level  should  be
checked  either  before  starting  the  engine
or  at  least  5  minutes  after  stopping  the
engine.
The handle of the engine oil dipstick is col-
ored with yellow for ea sy identification. 
Pull  out  the  oil  dipstick,  wipe  oil  off  with  a
clean  cloth,  insert  the  dipstick  all  the  way
into  the  engine,  and  then  remove  it  again.
The oil on the stick should be between the
upper  and  lower  limits  shown  on  the  stick.
If  the  oil  level  indication  is  near  the  lower
limit,  add  enough  oil  to  raise  the  level  to
the upper limit.
Refilling
81A147
Remove the oil filler cap and pour oil slowly
through  the  filler  hole  to  bring  the  oil  level
to the upper limit on the dipstick. Be careful
not to overfill the oil. Too much oil is almost
as bad as too little oil. A fter refilling, start the
engine  and  allow  it  to  idle  for  about  a  min-
ute.  Stop  the  engine,  wait  about  5  minutes
and check the oil level again.
Changing engine oil and filterDrain the engine oil while the engine is still
warm.

1) Remove the oil filler cap.
2) Place a drain pan under the drain plug.
3) Using  a  wrench,  remove  the  drain  plug and drain the engine oil.
NOTICE
Failure to check the oil level regularly
could  lead  to  serious  engine  trouble
due to insufficient oil.
EXAMPLEOpen Close
CAUTION
The  engine  oil  temperature  may  be
high  enough  to  burn  your  fingers
when the drain plug is loosened. Wait
until the drain plug is cool enough to
touch with your bare hands.EXAMPLE

(2) 3/4 turn5) Tighten  the  filter  as  specified  below
from  the  point  of  contact  with  the
mounting  surface  (or  to  the  specified
torque) using an oil filter wrench.
Tightening torque for oil filter:
3/4 turn or 
 14 Nm (1.4 kg -m, 10.3 lb-ft)
Refill with oil and oil leakage check1) Pour  oil  through  the  filler  hole  and
install the filler cap. 
For the  approximate  capacity  of  the  oil,
refer  to  “Capacities”  in  the  “SPECIFI-
CATIONS” section.
2) Start the engine and carefully check the oil  filter  and  the  drain  plug  for  leakage.
Run  the  engine  at  various  speeds  for  at
least 5 minutes.
3) Stop  the  engine  and  wait  about  5  min- utes. Check  the oil  level  again  and add
oil  if  necessary.  Check  for  leakage
again.
NOTICE
To  tighten  the  oil  filter  properly,  it  is
important  to  accurately  identify  the
position  at  which  the  filter  gasket
first contacts the mounting surface.
NOTICE
To prevent oil leakage, check that the
oil  filter  is  tight,   but  do  not  over-
tighten it.
NOTICE
• When  replacing  the  oil  filter,  it  is recommended that you use a genu-
ine  SUZUKI  replacement  filter.  If
you use an aftermarket filter, check
that  it  is  of  equi valent  quality  and
follow  the  manufacturer’s  instruc-
tions.
• Oil  leakage  from  the  periphery  of the  oil  filter  or  drain  plug  indicate
incorrect  installation  or  gasket
damage.  If  you  find  any  leakage  or
are not sure that the filter has been
properly  tightened,  have  the  vehi-
cle  inspected  by  your  SUZUKI
dealer.

75RM4-01E
Engine trouble: Starter does not operate1) Try  turning  the  ignition  switch  to“START”  position  or  try  pressing  the
engine  switch  to  change  the  ignition
mode  to  START  with  the  headlights
turned  on  to  determine  the  lead-acid
battery  condition.  If  the  headlights  go
excessively  dim  or  go  off,  it  usually
means  that  either  the  lead-acid  battery
is flat or the battery terminal contact is
poor. Recharge the lead-acid battery or
correct battery  terminal contact  as  nec-
essary.
2) If  the  headlights  remain  bright,  check the fuses. If the reas on for failure of the
starter  is  not  obvious,  there  may  be  a
major electrical problem. Have the vehi-
cle  inspected  by  your  authorized
SUZUKI dealer.
Engine trouble: Flooded engine(Vehicle without keyless push start sys-
tem)
If  the  engine  is  flooded  with  gasoline,  it
may be hard to start.  If this happens, press
the  accelerator  pedal  all  the  way  to  the
floor  and  hold  it  there  while  cranking  the
engine.
• Do  not  operate  the  starter  motor  for more than 12 seconds.

the  accelerator  pedal  all  the  way  to  the
floor  and  hold  it  there  while  cranking  the
engine.
• Do  not  operate  the  starter  motor  for more than 12 seconds.
NOTE:
If the engine refuses to start, the starter
motor automatically stops after a certain
period of time. After the starter motor has
automatically stopped or if there is any-
thing abnormal in the engine starting sys-
tem, the starter motor runs only while the
engine switch is held pressed.
Engine trouble: OverheatingThe  engine  could  overheat  temporarily
under severe driving conditions. If the high
engine  coolant  temperature  warning  light
comes on as overheating during driving:
1) Turn off the air conditioner, if equipped.
2) Take  the  vehicle  to  a  safe  place  and park.
3) Let  the  engine  run  at  the  normal  idle speed  for  a  few  minutes  until  the  high
engine  coolant  temperature  warning
light goes off.
WA R N I N G
If  you  see  or  hear  escaping  steam,
stop  the  vehicle  in  a  safe  place  and
immediately  turn  off  the  engine  to
cool  it.  Do  not  open  the  hood  when
steam  is  present.  When  the  steam
can no longer be seen or heard, open
the  hood  to  see  if  the  coolant  is  still
boiling. If it is, you must wait until it
stops boiling before you proceed.

Vehicle cleaning
76G044S
Cleaning interiorVinyl upholstery
Prepare  a  solution  of  soap  or  mild  deter-
gent  mixed  with  warm  water.  Apply  the
solution  to  the  vinyl  with  a  sponge  or  soft
cloth  and  let  it  soak  for  a  few  minutes  to
loosen dirt.
Rub  the  surface  with  a  clean,  damp  cloth
to  remove  dirt  and  the  soap  solution.  If
some  dirt  still  remains  on  the  surface,
repeat this procedure.
Fabric upholstery
Remove  loose  dirt  with  a  vacuum  cleaner.
Using  a  mild  soap  solution,  rub  stained
areas  with  a  clean  damp  cloth.  To  remove
soap,  rub  the  areas  again  with  a  cloth
dampened with water. Repeat this until the
stain is removed, or use a commercial fab-
ric  cleaner  for  tougher  stains.  If  you  use  a
fabric  cleaner,  carefully  follow  the  manu-
facturer’s instructions and precautions.
WA R N I N G
Do not apply additional undercoating
or  rust  preventive  coating  on  or
around  exhaust  system  components
such  as  the  catalytic  converter  and
exhaust pipes. A fire could be started
if  the  undercoating  substance
becomes overheated.
WA R N I N G
When cleaning the interior or exterior
of the vehicle, do not use flammable
solvents  such  as  lacquer  thinners,
gasoline  and  benzene.  Also,  do  not
use  cleaning  materials  such  as
bleaches  and  strong  household
detergents.  The  materials  could
cause  personal  injury  or  damage  to
the vehicle.
WA R N I N G
On models equipped with the ENG A-
STOP  system,  there  is  a  lithium-ion
battery  under  the  front  passenger’s
seat.  Do  not  allow  the  battery  to  get
wet. Otherwise, it may cause a fire or
electric  shock  or  damage  to  the  bat-
tery.
