Maintenance
If 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 opti­mum 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 "INSPEC­TION AND MAINTENANCE" section.
(For models with air conditioner refrig­erant R-1234yf) NOTE: Your vehicle uses the air conditioning refrigerant HFO-1234yf, commonly called R-1234yf. R-1234yf replaced R-134a for automotive applications. Other refrigerants are available, but only R-1234yf should be used in your vehicle. (For the country of Singapore) • For repair and parts replacement, have your vehicle repaired or replaced parts by an authorized SUZUKI dealer that has the mechanic qualified with SAE J2845 for air conditioner of R-1234yf.
OTHER CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
NOTICE
Using the wrong refrigerant may damage your air conditioning sys­tem. Use R-1234yf only. Do not mix or replace the R-1234yf with other refrig­erants.
(For models with air conditioner refrig­erant R-134a) NOTE: Your vehicle uses the air conditioning refrigerant HFC-134a, commonly called R-134a. R-134a replaced R-12 around 1993 for automotive applications. Other refriger­ants are available, including recycled R-12, but only R-134a should be used in your
vehicle.
NOTICE
Using the wrong refrigerant may damage your air conditioning sys­tem. Use R-134a only. Do not mix or replace the R-134a with other refrig­erants.

(For EU countries and Israel) The replacement timing varies with the type of engine oil that you choose. Refer to "Maintenance schedule" in this section for corresponding maintenance schedule.
SAE 0W-16 ( 1 ) is the best choice for good fuel economy and good startability in cold weather.
NOTE: SUZUKI highly recommends the use of ECSTAR brand engine oil. ECSTAR has been specially formulated for your SUZUKI product and contributes to the desired vehicle performance and ideal driving experience.

· INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
A 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 inspect­ing gear oil level.
NOTICE
Be sure to use new plug with new gas­ket to avoid loose·ness of the plug and oil leakage.
Gear oil change
Since special procedures, materials and tools are required, ask a SUZUKI dealer for this job.

Clutch pedal
Fluid control clutch
78RB07011
Check the clutch pedal for smooth opera­tion and clutch fiuid level from time to time. If clutch dragging is felt with the pedal fully depressed, have the clutch inspected by a SUZUKI dealer. If the clutch fiuid level is near "MIN" line, fill it up to "MAX" line with DOT3 or SAE J1703 brake fiuid.
Brakes
Brake fluid
MAX
MIN
78RB07011
Check the brake fluid level by looking at the reservoir in the engine compartment. Check that the fiuid level is between "MAX" and "MIN" lines.
NOTICE
If your brake fluid level is near the 11MIN" line, there is a possibility of brake pad and/or shoe wear and brake fluid leakage. Consult with a SUZUKI dealer regarding this possi­bility before filling the reservoir.

NOTE: SUZUKI highly recommends the use of ECSTAR brend brake fluid. ECSTAR has been specially formulated for your SUZUKI product and contributes to the desired vehicle performance and ideal driving experience.
A WARNING
Failure to follow the guidelines below can result in personal injury or seri­ous damage to the brake system. . If the brake fluid in the reservoir drops below a certain level, the brake warning light on the instru­ment cluster will come on (the engine must be running with the parking brake fully dise~gaged). Should the light come on, 1mmed1-ately ask a SUZUKI dealer to inspect the brake system. A rapid fluid loss indicates leakage in the brake system which should be inspected by a SUZUKI dealer immediately. Do not use any fluid other than DOT3 or SAE J1703 brake fluid. Do not use reclaimed fluid or fluid that has been stored in old or open con­tainers. It is essential that foreign particles and other liquids are kept out of the brake fluid reservoir.
A CAUTION
Brake fluid can harm your eyes and damage painted surfaces. Be careful when refilling the reservoir.
A WARNING
Brake fluid is harmful or fatal if swal­lowed, and harmful if it comes in con­tact with skin or eyes. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Immediately contact a poison control center or a physician. If brake fluid gets in eye~, flush eyes with water and seek medi­cal attention. Wash thoroughly after handling. Solution can be poisonous to animals. Keep out of reach of chil­dren and animals.
NOTE: • The fluid /eve/ can be expected to gredu­ally fall as the brake pad and/or shoe wear. Brake fluid absorbs water over time and brake fluid with high water content may cause vapor lock or breke system mal­function. Replace your breke fluid in accordance with the maintenance schedule m your Owner's Manual.
