EMERGENCY SERVICE
54P00-01E
Engine trouble: Overheating
The engine could overheat temporarily
under severe driving conditions. If the
engine coolant temperature gauge indi-
cates overheating during driving:
1) Turn off the air conditioner, if equipped.
2) Take the vehicle to a safe place and
park.
3) Run the engine at a normal idle speed
for a few minutes until the indicator is
within the normal, acceptable tempera-
ture range between “H” and “C”.If the temperature indication does not
come down to within the normal, accept-
able range:
1) Turn off the engine and check that the
water pump belt and pulleys are not
damaged or slipping. If any abnormality
is found, correct it.
2) Check the coolant level in the reservoir.
If it is found to be lower than “LOW”
line, check radiator, water pump, radia-
tor hoses and heater hoses for leakage.
If leakage that may cause overheating
is found, do not run the engine until
these problems have been corrected.
3) If leakage is not found, carefully add
coolant to the reservoir and then the
radiator, if necessary. (Refer to “Engine
coolant” in “INSPECTION AND MAIN-
TENANCE” section.)
NOTE:
If engine overheats and you are not sure
what to do, contact your SUZUKI dealer.

WA R N I N G
If you see or hear escaping steam,
stop the vehicle in a safe place and
immediately turn off the engine to
cool it. Do not open the hood when
steam is present. When the steam
can no longer be seen or heard, open
the hood to see if the coolant is still
boiling. If it is, you must wait until it
stops boiling before you proceed.WA R N I N G
• It is hazardous to remove the radia-
tor cap (or degassing tank cap for a
diesel engine) when the water tem-
perature is high, because scalding
fluid and steam may be blown out
under pressure. The cap should
only be taken off when the coolant
temperature has lowered.
• To help prevent personal injury,
keep hands, tools and clothing
away from the engine cooling fan
and air-conditioner fan (if
equipped). These electric fans can
automatically turn on without warn-
ing.

APPEARANCE CARE
54P00-01E
Leather upholstery
Remove loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
Using a mild soap or saddle soap solution,
wipe dirt off with a clean damp soft cloth.
To remove soap, wipe the areas again with
a soft cloth dampened with water. Wipe the
areas dry with a soft dry cloth. Repeat this
until the dirt or stain is removed, or use a
commercial leather cleaner for tougher dirt
or stains. If you use a leather cleaner,
carefully follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions and precautions. Do not use solvent
type cleaners or abrasive cleaners.
NOTE:
• In order to keep leather upholstery look-
ing good, it should be cleaned at least
twice a year.
• If leather upholstery becomes wet,
immediately wipe it dry with tissue paper
or a soft cloth. Water may cause leather
to harden and shrink if it is not wiped off.
• When parking on sunny days, select a
shady place or use a sunshade. If
leather upholstery is exposed to direct
sunlight for a long time, it may discolor
and shrink.
• As is common with natural materials,
leather is inherently irregular in grain and
cowhide has spots in its natural state.
These do not affect the performance of
the leather in any way.Seat belts
Clean seat belts with a mild soap and
water. Do not use bleach or dye on the
belts. They may weaken the fabric in the
belts.
Vinyl floor mats
Ordinary dirt can be removed from vinyl
with water or mild soap. Use a brush to
help loosen dirt. After the dirt is loosened,
rinse the mat thoroughly with water and
dry it in the shade.
Carpets
Remove dirt and soil as much as possible
with a vacuum cleaner. Using a mild soap
solution, rub stained areas with a clean
damp cloth. To remove soap, rub the areas
again with a cloth dampened with water.
Repeat this until the stain is removed, or
use a commercial carpet cleaner for
tougher stains. If you use a carpet cleaner,
carefully follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions and precautions.
Instrument panel and console
Remove loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
Gently wipe dirt off with a tightly squeezed
damp clean cloth. Repeat this until the dirt
is removed.
Cleaning exterior
Caring for aluminum wheels
NOTE:
• Do not use an acidic or alkaline deter-
gent, or a cleaner containing petroleum
solvent to wash aluminum wheels.
These types of cleaner will cause per-
manent spots, discoloration and cracks
on finished surfaces and damage to cen-
ter caps.
• Do not use a bristle brush and soap con-
taining an abrasive material. These will
damage finished surfaces.
NOTICE
Do not use chemical products that
contain silicon to wipe electrical
components such as the air condi-
tioning system, audio, navigation
system, or other switches. These will
cause damage to the components.
NOTICE
It is important that your vehicle be
kept clean and free from dirt. Failure
to keep your vehicle clean may result
in fading of the paint or corrosion to
various parts of the vehicle body.

EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
Do not use a rearward facing child
restraint on a seat protected by an air
bag in front of it.
WA R N I N G
Do not install a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger’s
seat. If the passenger’s front air bag
inflates, a child in a rear-facing child
restraint could be killed or severely
injured. The back of a rear-facing
child restraint would be too close to
the inflating air bag.
WA R N I N G
NEVER use a rearward facing child
restraint on a seat protected by an
ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH
or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD
can occur.

Seat belt warning
Follow this warning as well as the instruc-
tion for seat belt in this book.
In the case where a “Seat Belt Assembly”
incorporates an “Automatic Length Adjust-
ing and Locking Retractor” or an “Emer-
gency Locking Retractor”.
For Mexico
Fuel recommendation
54P000101
Your vehicle requires regular unleaded
gasoline with a minimum rating of 87 pump
octane ((R + M)/2 method). In some areas,
the only fuels that are available are oxy-
genated fuels.
Oxygenated fuels which meet the mini-
mum octane requirement and the require-
ments described below may be used in
your vehicle without jeopardizing the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty.
WA R N I N G
Seat belts are designed to bear upon
the bony structure of the body, and
should be worn low across the front
of the pelvis or the pelvis, chest and
shoulders, as applicable; wearing the
lap section of the belt across the
abdominal area must be avoided.
• Seat belts should be adjusted as
firmly as possible, consistent with
comfort, to provide the protection
for which they have been designed.
A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
• Care should be taken to avoid con-
tamination of the webbing with pol-
ishes, oils and chemicals, and
particularly battery acid. Cleaning
may safely be carried out using
mild soap and water. The belt
should be replaced if webbing
becomes frayed, contaminated or
damaged.
(Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• It is essential to replace the entire
assembly after it has been worn in
a severe impact even if damage to
the assembly is not obvious.
• Belts should not be worn with
straps twisted.
• Each belt assembly must only be
used by one occupant; it is danger-
ous to put a belt around a child
being carried on the occupant’s
lap.
WA R N I N G
• No modifications or additions
should be made by the user which
will either prevent the seat belt
adjusting devices from operating to
remove slack, or prevent the seat
belt assembly from being adjusted
to remove slack.
• Referring to the instruction for seat
belt in this book, adjust the seat
belt so that the lap and sash por-
tions of the “Seat Belt Assembly”
fit as firmly as possible consistent
with comfort.
