Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTE: Do not check the fluid level if you have just driven the vehicle for a long time at high
speed, 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 indica­
tion will not be correct.

the engine in "P" (Park). Let it idle for two minutes and keep it running during
the fluid level check. . 5} With your foot on the brake pedal, move the gearshift lever through each range,
pausing for about three seconds in each range. Then move it back to the "P" (Park) position.

Be sure to depress the brake pedal
when moving the gearshift lever, or the vehicle can move suddenly.

Parking Brake
EXAMPLE
Ratchet tooth specification "b": 5th -7th Lever pull force (1): 200 N (20 kg, 44 Ibs)
54G109
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 parking brake inspected
and/or adjusted by your SUZUKI dealer.

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 rattling 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 outside the specifi­
cation or you find anything else to be wrong, an inspection must be performed by your SUZUKI dealer.

For maintenance-free battery (cap-less type), you need not add water. For tradi­
tional type battery, which has water filler caps, the level of the battery solution must
be kept between the "UPPER" and the "LOWER" level lines at all times. If the level is found to be below the "LOWER" level
line, add distilled water to the "UPPER"
level line. You should periodically check the
battery, battery terminals, and battery hold-down bracket for corrosion. Remove
corrosion using a stiff brush and ammonia
mixed with water, or baking soda mixed
with water. After removing corrosion, rinse
with
clean water.
If your vehicle is not going to be driven for
a month or longer, disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery to help prevent discharge.
