A. WARNING
You should take extreme care when working on your vehicle to prevent
accidental injury. Here are a few pre
cautions that you should be espe
cially careful to observe: (Continued)
7-1
A. WARNING
(Continued) • To prevent damage or unintended
activation of the air bag system or seat belt pretensioner system, be sure the battery is disconnected
and the ignition switch has been in
the "LOCK" position for at least 90 seconds before performing any
electrical service work on your SUZUKI. Do not touch air bag system components, seat belt pretensioner system components or wires.
The wires are wrapped with yellow
tape or yellow tubing, and the cou
plers are yellow for easy identifica
tion.
• Do not leave the engine running in
garages or other confined areas. • When the engine is running, keep
hands, clothing, tools, and other objects away from the fan and drive belt. Even though the fan may not be moving, it can automatically turn on without warning. • When it is necessary to do service work with the engine running, make sure that the parking brake is set fully and the transmission is in Neutral (for manual transmission vehicles) or Park (for automatic transmission vehicles). (Continued)
A. WARNING
(Continued) • Do not touch ignition wires or other ignition system parts when starting the engine or when the engine is
running, or you could receive an electric shock. • Be careful not. to touch a hot
engine, exhaust manifold and
pipes, muffler, radiator and water
hoses.
• Do not allow smOking, sparks, or flames around gasoline or the bat
tery. Flammable fumes are present.
• Do not get under your vehicle if it is supported only with the portable jack provided in your vehicle. • Be careful not to cause accidental short circuits between the positive
and negative battery terminals.
• Keep used oil, coolant, and other fluids away from children and pets.
Dispose of used fluids properly;
never pour them on the ground, into sewers, etc ..

Refill with Oil and Check for Leaks 1) Pour oil through the filler hole and install the filler cap. For the approximate capacity of the oil, refer to the "Capacities" item in the "SPECIFICATIONS" section. 2) Start the engine and look carefully for leaks at the oil filter and drain plug. 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 leaks again.
CAUTION
• When replacing the oil filter, it is recommended that you use a genu
ine SUZUKI replacement filter. If you use an aftermarket filter, make
sure it is of equivalent quality and follow the manufacturer's instruc
tions.
• Oil leaks from around the oil filter or drain plug indicate incorrect installation or gasket damage. If you find any leaks or are not sure
that the filter has been properly tightened, have the vehicle inspected by your SUZUKI dealer.

Engine Coolant
(For Gasoline Engine Model)

(For Gasoline Engine Model)
EXAMPLE
(For Diesel Engine Model)
64J249
.A WARNING
It is hazardous to remove the degas
sing tank cap for Diesel engine when
the water temperature is high,
because scalding fluid and steam may be blown out under pressure.
Wait until the coolant temperature
has lowered before removing the cap.
Page 15 of 48
Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Selection of Coolant CAUTION
SUZUKI LLC: Super (Blue) coolant;
SUZUKI LLC: Super (Blue) coolant is already diluted to the proper percent
age. Do not dilute with distilled water additionally. Doing so may result in the possibility of freezing coolant and/or overheating.
To maintain optimum performance and durability of your engine, use SUZUKI Genuine Coolant or equivalent.
NOTE: If you replace the engine coolant other
than the SUZUKIl:.LC: Super (Blue), 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 best for your cooling system as it: • Helps maintain proper engine temperature. • Gives proper protection against freezing
and boiling.
• Gives proper protection against corro-
sion and rust. Failure to use the proper coolant can damage your cooling system. Your authorized SUZUKI dealer can help you select the
proper coolant.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging your cooling system: • Always use a high quality ethylene
glycol base non-silicate type coolant diluted with distilled water at the correct mixture concentration. • Make sure that the proper mix is 50/ 50 coolant to distilled water and in no case higher than 70/30. Concentrations greater than 70/30 coolant to distilled water will cause overheating conditions. • Do not use straight coolant nor plain water (except SUZUKI LLC: Super (Blue».
• Do not add extra inhibitors or additives. 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/automatic
transmission damage.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Coolant Level
Check Check the coolant level at the reservoir
tank, not at the radiator. With the engine cool, the coolant level should be between
the "FULL (MAXI)" and "LOW (MINI)" marks.
Adding Coolant
(For Gasoline Engine Model) If the coolant level is below the "LOW" mark, more coolant should be added. Remove the reservoir tank cap and add coolant until the reservoir tank level reaches the "FULt..:' mark. Never fill the reservoir tank above the "FULt..:' mark.
(For
Diesel Engine Model)
A. WARNING
It is hazardous to remove the degassing tank cap for Diesel engine when the water temperature is high,
because scalding fluid and steam may be blown out under pressure. Wait· until the coolant temperature has lowered before removing the cap.
If the coolant level is below the "MINI" mark, more coolant should be added. When the engine is cool, remove the degassing tank cap by turning it antic lockwise slowly to release any pressure. And add coolant until the degassing tank level reaches the "MAXI" mark. Never fill the
degassing tank above the "MAXI" mark.

CAUTION
• The mixture you use should contain 50% concentration of antifreeze. • ~f the lowest ~mbient temperature In your area IS expected to be -35°C (-31°F) or below, use higher con~entrati~ns up to 60% following the instructions on the antifreeze
container.
• When putting the cap on the reservoir tank, line up the arrow on the
cap and the arrow on the tank. Failure to follow this can result in coolant leakage.
A. WARNING
Engine coolant is harmful or fatal if swallowed or inhaled. Do not drink antifreeze or coolant solution. If swalI~wed, do not induce vomiting. Imme
diately contact a poison control c~nter or a physician. Avoid inhaling mist or hot vapors; if inhaled remove to fresh air. Wash thoroughly after handling. Solution can be poisonous to animals. Keep out of the reach of children and animals.

1) Wh~n the engine is cool, remove the radiator cap by turning it slowly to the left until ~ "stop:' is felt. Do not press
down while turning the cap. Wait until any pressure is released, then press down on the cap and continue turning it
anticlockwise.
.A. WARNING
It is hazardous to remove the radiator c~p when the water temperature is high, because scalding fluid and
steam may be blown out under pressure. Wait until the coolant temperature has lowered before removing the
cap.
2) Redmov~ the reservoir by lifting it up, an drain the reservoir completely.

3) Remove the engine under cover. 4) Loosen the drain plug attached to the lower part of the radiator and drain the coolant into a suitable container.
5) Reinstall the reservoir and fill it with coolant to the "FULL.:' line. 6) Tighten the drain plug on the radiator. 7) Reinstall the engine under cover. 8) Fill the radiator with coolant and install
the radiator cap. 9) After filling, let the engine idle for about 2-3 minutes to get rid of air in the cooling system.
1 O)Stop the engine. 11 )Check the coolant level in the radiator
again. If the level has gone down, add
more coolant.
CAUTION
The coolant must be replaced with
the vehicle on level ground.
(For
Diesel Engine Model) Since special procedures are required, we recommend you take your vehicle to your SUZUKI dealer for coolant replacement.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Air Cleaner
EXAMPLE
66J167
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there
will be greater intake resistance, resulting in decreased power output and increased fuel consumption.
Check and
clean periodically according to
the following procedure:
1) Take off the air cleaner case cover.
Remove the element from the air cleaner case cover. 2) This air cleaner element is of dry type.
Remember that it needs cleaning
according to the following method.
3) Blow off dust on cleaner element by
compressed air from inside the element, or replace the element as necessary.
