OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
54P00-01E
Starting a cold and warm engine
(For gasoline engine model)
With your foot taken off the accelerator
pedal, crank the engine by turning the igni-
tion key to “START”. Release the key when
the engine starts.
If the engine does not start after 12 sec-
onds of cranking, wait about 15 seconds,
and then press down the accelerator pedal
to 1/3 full of capacity and try cranking the
engine again. Release the key and accel-
erator pedal when the engine starts.
If the engine still does not start, try holding
the accelerator pedal all the way to the
floor while cranking. This should clear the
engine if it is flooded.(For diesel engine model)
Cold engine

and wait until the glow plug indicator goes
out if it comes on. Crank the engine by
turning the ignition key to “START”.
Release the key when the engine starts.
Warm engine

key to “START”. Release the key when the
engine starts.
Caution when stopping the engine with
turbocharger
When stopping the engine after climbing or
high speed driving, let the engine idle for
about one minute or more (if it is not pro-
hibited) to cool down the turbocharger and
engine oil. This is to prevent the engine oil
from over-deteriorating. Deteriorated
engine oil will damage the bearings of the
turbocharger.
WA R N I N G
Check that the parking brake is set
fully and the transaxle is in Neutral
before attempting to start the engine.
NOTICE
• Stop turning the starter immedi-
ately after the engine has started or
the starter system can be damaged.
• Do not crank the engine for more
than 12 seconds at a time. If the
engine does not start on the first
try, wait about 15 seconds before
trying again.
NOTICE
• Stop turning the starter immedi-
ately after the engine has started or
the starter system can be damaged.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
54P00-01E
Refill with oil and oil leakage check
1) Pour oil through the filler hole and
install the filler cap.
For the approximate capacity of the oil,
refer to “Capacities” in “SPECIFICA-
TIONS” section.
2) Start the engine and carefully check the
oil filter and the drain plug for leakage.
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 leakage
again.
Engine coolant
Selection of coolant
To maintain optimum performance and
durability of your engine, use SUZUKI gen-
uine coolant or equivalent.
NOTE:
If you replace the engine coolant with cool-
ant other than “SUZUKI LLC: Super
(Blue)”, follow the schedule of “SUZUKI
LLC: Standard (Green)”. To see the detail
of the maintenance schedule, refer to
“Maintenance schedule” in this section.
This type of coolant is the best for cooling
system for the following reasons:
• The coolant helps maintain proper
engine temperature.
• It gives proper protection against freez-
ing and boiling.
• It gives proper protection against corro-
sion and rust.
Failure to use the proper coolant can dam-
age your cooling system. Your authorizedSUZUKI dealer can help you select the
proper coolant.
NOTICE
• When replacing the oil filter, it is
recommended that you use a genu-
ine SUZUKI replacement filter. If
you use an aftermarket filter, check
that it is of equivalent quality and
follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.
• Oil leakage from the periphery of
the oil filter or drain plug indicate
incorrect installation or gasket
damage. If you find any leakage or
are not sure that the filter has been
properly tightened, have the vehi-
cle inspected by your SUZUKI
dealer.
NOTICE
“SUZUKI LLC: Super (Blue) coolant”;
This coolant is already diluted to the
proper percentage. Do not dilute with
distilled water additionally. Doing so
may result in the possibility of freez-
ing and/or overheating coolant.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging your cooling sys-
tem:
• Always use a high quality ethylene
glycol base non-silicate type cool-
ant diluted with distilled water at
the correct mixture concentration.
• Check that the proper mix is 50/50
coolant to distilled water and in no
case higher than 70/30. Concentra-
tions greater than 70/30 coolant to
distilled water will cause overheat-
ing conditions.
• Do not use straight coolant nor
plain water (except “SUZUKI LLC:
Super (Blue)”).
• Do not add extra inhibitors or addi-
tives. 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 damage.
