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.

Gear Oil Level Check To check the gear oil level, use the following procedure:
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface with
the parking brake applied. Then, stop
the engine.
2) Remove the oil filler plug (1). 3) Check the inside of the hole with your
finger. If the oil level comes up to the
bottom (transfer case: within 10 mm from the bottom) of the plug hole, the oil level is correct. If so, reinstall the plug. 4) If the oil level is low, add gear oil through the oil filler plug hole (1) until
7-20

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.
