0B-20 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
FINAL INSPECTION
Seats
Check that seat slides smoothly and locks securely at
any position. Also check that reclining mechanism of
front seat back allows it to be locked at any angle.
Seat Belt
Inspect belt system including webbing, buckles, latch
plates, retractors and anchors for damage or wear.
If “REPLACE BELT” label on belt is visible, replace
belt.
Check that seat belt is securely locked.
Battery Electrolyte Level Check
Check that the electrolyte level of all battery cells is
between the upper and lower level lines on the case.
If battery is equipped with built-in indicator, check bat-
tery condition by the indicator.
Accelerator Pedal Operation
Check that pedal operates smoothly without getting
caught or interfered by and other part.
Engine Start
Check engine start for readiness.
On automatic transmission vehicles, try to start the
engine in each gear. The starter should crank only in
“P” (Park) or “N” (Neutral).
On manual transmission vehicles, place the shift le-
ver in “Neutral,” depress clutch pedal fully and try to
start.
Exhaust System Check
Check for leakage, cracks or loose supports.
Clutch (For manual transmission)
Check for the following.

Clutch is completely released when depressing
clutch pedal.

No slipping clutch occurs when releasing pedal and
accelerating.

Clutch itself is free from any abnormal condition.
Gearshift or Select Lever (Transmission)
Check gear shift or select lever for smooth shifting to
all positions and for good performance of transmis-
sion in any position.
With automatic transmission equipped vehicle, also
check that shift indicator indicates properly according
to which position select lever is shifted to.
CAUTION:
With automatic transmission equipped ve-
hicle, make sure that vehicle is at complete
stop when shifting select lever to “P” range
position and release all brakes.
Brake
[Foot brake]
Check the following;

that brake pedal has proper travel,

that brake works properly,

that it is free from noise,

that vehicle does not pull to one side when brake is
applied,

and that brake does not drag.
WARNING:
When carrying out road tests, select a safe
place where no man or no running vehicle is
seen so as to prevent any accident.
WARNING:
Before performing the following check, be
sure to have enough room around the vehicle.
Then, firmly apply both the parking brake and
the regular brakes. Do not use the accelerator
pedal. If the engine starts, be ready to turn off
the ignition promptly. Take these precautions
because the car could move without warning
and possibly cause personal injury or proper-
ty damage.

MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 0B-21
[Parking brake]
Check that lever has proper travel.
Check to ensure that parking brake is fully effective
when the vehicle is stopped on the safe slope and
brake lever is pulled all the way.
Steering

Check to ensure that steering wheel is free from in-
stability, or abnormally heavy feeling.

Check that the vehicle does not wander or pull to
one side.
Engine

Check that engine responds readily at all speeds.

Check that engine is free from abnormal noise and
abnormal vibration.
Body, Wheels and Power Transmitting System
Check that body, wheels and power transmitting sys-
tem are free from abnormal noise and abnormal
vibration or any other abnormal condition.
Meters and Gauge
Check that speedometer, odometer, fuel meter, tem-
perature gauge, etc. are operating accurately.
Lights
Check that all lights operate properly.
Windshield Defroster
Periodically check that air comes out from defroster
outlet when operating heater or air conditioning.
Set fan switch lever to “HI” position and mode lever to
defroster position for this check. WARNING:
With vehicle parked on a fairly steep slope,
make sure nothing is in the way downhill to
avoid any personal injury or property damage.
Be prepared to apply regular brake quickly
even if vehicle should start to move.

MAINTENANCE
COOLANT
The coolant recovery system is standard. The coolant in the radiator expands with heat, and the overflow is col-
lected in the reservoir tank.
When the system cools down, the coolant is drawn back into the radiator.
The cooling system has been filled at the factory with a quality coolant that is either 50 / 50 mixture of water and
GOLDEN CRUISER 1200 (ethylene glycol antifreeze.) or 30 / 70 mixture of water and GOLDEN CRUISER 1200.
The 50 / 50 mixture coolant solution provides freezing protection to – 36
C (– 33
F), the 30 / 70 mixture coolant solu-
tion provides freezing protection to – 16
C (3
F).
When changing the engine coolant, use mixture of 50% water and 50% GOLDEN CRUISER 1200 for the market
where ambient temperature falls lower than – 16
C (3
F) in winter and mixture of 70% water and 30% GOLDEN
CRUISER 1200 for the market where ambient temperature doesn’t fall lower than – 16
C (3
F).
NOTE:
Alcohol or methanol base coolant or plain water alone should not be used in cooling system at any time
as damage to cooling system could occur.
Even in a market where no freezing temperature is anticipated, mixture of 70% water and 30% ethylene
glycol antifreeze (Antifreeze / Anticorrosion coolant) should be used for the purpose of corrosion protec-
tion and lubrication.

IDLE SPEED / IDLE AIR CONTROL (IAC) DUTY
INSPECTION
Before idle speed / IAC duty check, make sure of the following.

Lead wires and hoses of Electronic Fuel Injection and engine
emission control systems are connected securely.

Accelerator cable has some play, that is, it is not tight.

Valve lash is checked and adjusted according to maintenance
schedule.

Ignition timing is within specification.

All accessories (wipers, heater, lights, A / C, etc.) are out of ser-
vice.

Air cleaner has been properly installed and is in good condition.

No abnormal air inhaling from air intake system.
After above items are all confirmed, check idle speed and IAC duty
as follows.
NOTE:
Before starting engine, place transmission gear shift lever in
“Neutral” (shift selector lever to “P” range for A / T vehicle),
and set parking brake and block drive wheels.
1) Connect SUZUKI scan tool (1) to DLC with ignition switch OFF,
if it is available.
2) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
3) Check engine idle speed and “IAC duty” as follow:
Select “Data List” mode on scan tool to check “IAC duty” and en-
gine speed.
Special Tool
(A): 09931-76011 (SUZUKI scan tool)
(B): Mass storage cartridge
(C): 09931-76030 (16 / 14 pin DLC cable)
If duty and/or idle speed is out of specifications, inspect idle air
control system referring to Diagnostic Flow Table B-4 IDLE AIR
CONTROL SYSTEM CHECK in Section 6.

If not, check “Electric load (+)” circuit and “Heater blower switch
signal” circuit referring to “ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM”
in this section and idle air control system.
5) Check that specified engine idle speed is obtained with A / C ON
if vehicle is equipped with A / C.
If not, check A / C ON signal circuit.
