NOTE:
*1:Clean more frequently if the air flow from the air conditioner decreases.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the California Air Resources Board has determined that the failure to perform recom-
mended maintenance items enclosed with a rectangle will not nullify the emission warranty or limit recall liability prior to the completion of
the vehicle’s useful life. SUZUKI, however, urges that all recommended maintenance services be performed at the indicated intervals
and the maintenance recorded.
For gasoline engine models
Select maintenance timing by mileage (odometer reading) or months,
whichever comes first.
