NOTE:
It is normal for water to drip from the air
conditioning system after use.
4) Check that the hood is fully closed and
latched.
5) Check the headlights, turn signal lights,
brake lights and horn for proper opera-
tion.
6) Adjust the seat and head restraint.
7) Check the brake pedal and the parking
brake lever.
8) Adjust the mirrors.
9) Check that you and all passengers
have properly fastened your seat belts.
10)Check that all warning lights come on
as the ignition switch is turned to “ON”
position or the engine switch is pressed
to change the ignition mode to “ON”.
11)Check all gauges.
12)Check that the brake system warning
light turns off when the parking brake is
released.
Once a week, or each time you fill your fuel
tank, perform the following under-hood
checks:
1) Engine oil level
2) Coolant level
3) Brake fluid level
4) Battery solution level
5) Windshield washer fluid level
6) Hood latch operation
Pull the hood release handle inside the
vehicle. Check that you cannot openthe hood all the way without releasing
the secondary latch. Close the hood
securely after checking for proper latch
operation. See the item “All latches,
hinges and locks” of “Chassis, body
and others” in “Maintenance schedule”
in “INSPECTION AND MAINTE-
NANCE” section for lubrication sched-
ule.
Once a month, or each time you fill your
fuel tank, check the tire pressure using a
tire pressure gauge. Also check the tire
pressure of the spare tire.Engine oil consumption
It is normal for the engine to consume
some engine oil during normal vehicle
operation.
The amount of engine oil consumption
depends on viscosity and quality of the oil
and your driving conditions.
More oil is consumed during high-speed
driving and when there is frequent acceler-
ation and deceleration. Under high loads,
your engine also will consume more oil.
A new engine also consumes more oil,
since its pistons, piston rings and cylinder
walls have not yet become conditioned.
New engines reach the normal level of oil
consumption only after approximately
5000 km (3000 miles) driving.
Oil consumption:
Max. 1.0 L per 1000 km
(1 Qt. per 600 miles)
When judging the amount of oil consump-
tion, note that the oil may become diluted
and it is difficult to judge the accurate oil
level.
As an example, if a vehicle is used for
repeated short trips, and consumes a nor-
mal amount of oil, the dipstick may not
show any drop in the oil level at all, even
after 1000 km (600 miles) or more of driv-
ing. This is because the oil gradually
becomes diluted with fuel or moisture,
WA R N I N G
Check that the hood is fully closed
and latched before driving. If it is not,
it can fly up unexpectedly during
driving, obstructing your view and
resulting in an accident.

ENG A-STOP system
(engine auto stop start
system) (if equipped)
The ENG A-STOP system (engine auto
stop start system) automatically stops and
restarts the engine without operating the
ignition switch or the engine switch when
the vehicle is stopped, such as at a traffic
signal or in a traffic jam, to reduce exhaust
gases and fuel consumption.
• When the vehicle will be stopped for a
long time or when you will leave the
vehicle unattended, turn the ignition
switch to “LOCK” position or press the
engine switch to stop the engine.
NOTE:
If your vehicle is equipped with the auto air
conditioning system, you can change the
auto engine stop condition via the informa-
tion display. Refer to “Information display”
in “BEFORE DRIVING” section.
72M2042
The ENG A-STOP system is automatically
activated when the ignition switch is turned
to “ON” position or the engine switch is
pressed to change the ignition mode to
“ON”.
The system activation also requires the fol-
lowing conditions:
• Driver’s seat belt is fastened.
• Driver’s door is closed.
• Engine hood is closed.
For more details, refer to the explanation
below.
WA R N I N G
• Do not get out of the vehicle when
the engine is stopping by the ENG
A-STOP system. If the driver’s seat
belt is unfastened and the driver’s
door is opened, the engine will
stall.
• When the engine does not restart
automatically even if you operate it
properly, start the engine using the
ignition switch or engine switch.
– Continuously stopping on the
road may result in rear crash.
– In case the vehicle moves, the
steering and braking operation
will require more efforts.
NOTICE
Only use the vehicle battery types
that have been approved by SUZUKI
vehicle manufacturer, otherwise you
could damage your vehicle, and the
ENG A-STOP system could not be
available. If a vehicle battery has to
be replaced, consult your authorized
SUZUKI dealer.

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.

Theft deterrent alarm system
A theft deterrent alarm system is armed in
about 20 seconds after you lock the doors.
Keyless push start system – Use the
remote controller or push the request
switch on driver’s door handle, front pas-
senger’s door handle or tailgate.
Keyless entry system – Use the transmit-
ter.
Once the system is armed, any attempt to
open a door by using any other means (*)
than the keyless push start system remote
controller, the request switch, the keyless
entry system transmitter or engine hood
(for EU specification vehicle) will cause the
alarm to be triggered.
* These means include the following:
–The key
– The lock knob on a door
– The power door locking switchNOTE:
The theft deterrent alarm system gener-
ates alarms when any of the predeter-
mined conditions is met. However, the
system does not have any function of
blocking unauthorized entry into your
vehicle.
Always use the keyless push start sys-
tem remote controller, the request switch
or the keyless entry system transmitter
to unlock the doors when the theft deter-
rent alarm system has been armed.
Using a key instead will trigger the
alarm.
If a person who does not know the theft
deterrent alarm system is going to drive
your vehicle, we recommend you explain
the system and its operation to the per-
son, or disable the system beforehand.
Mistakenly triggering the alarm may
cause a nuisance to others.
Even if the theft deterrent alarm system
is armed, you should still be careful to
guard against theft. Do not leave money
or things of value in your vehicle.
