Oil change request light(if equipped)
79JM007
Your vehicle has the oil life monitoring sys-
tem and related oil change request light
that alerts you to change the engine oil and
oil filter.
When this light comes on or blinks, change
engine oil and oil filter immediately.
For details on how to change the engine oil
and oil filter, refer to “Changing engine oil
and filter” in “INSPECTION AND MAINTE-
NANCE” section.
Gasoline engine model and diesel engine
model have different lighting methods for
oil change request light. Check an appro-
priate method from the following descrip-
tions, according to your vehicle model.
(For gasoline engine model)
This light comes on for several seconds
when the ignition switch is turned to “ON”
position or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to “ON” so you
can check that light is working.If either of odometer reading or time is
reached to the value which is set by the
system, this light blinks when the ignition
switch or engine switch is in “ON” position.
In addition, the message is shown on the
information display to tell you it is neces-
sary to change the engine oil and oil filter.
When the engine oil and oil filter are
changed, and the oil life monitoring system
is reset, this light will go out.
Whenever the engine oil and oil filter are
changed, the light must be reset to monitor
the next oil change timing properly. The
light will go out after the reset. For the
resetting procedure, refer to “Information
display” in this section.
NOTE:
This light is used to facilitate the oil and oil
filter change according to the maintenance
schedule.(For diesel engine model)
This light comes on for several seconds
when the ignition switch is turned to “ON”
position or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to “ON” so you
can check that light is working.
If this light blinks when the engine is run-
ning, you should change the engine oil and
oil filter immediately since the monitoring sys-
tem has calculated that oil life has been
diminished by a deterioration of engine oil.
When the engine oil and oil filter are
changed, and the oil life monitoring system
is reset, this light will go out.
NOTICE
Severe engine damage will result, if
you keep operating the engine after
this light comes on.
Change the engine oil and oil filter
immediately when the light blinks.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
54P00-01E
Pull out the oil dipstick, wipe oil off with a
clean cloth, insert the dipstick all the way
into the engine, and then remove it again.
The oil on the stick should be between the
upper and lower limits shown on the stick.
If the oil level indication is near the lower
limit, add enough oil to raise the level to
the upper limit.NOTE:
When the soot particles accumulated in
the DPF
® are combusted, the amount of
the engine oil may increase due to the dilu-
tion with the fuel. This is not a vehicle mal-
function. The soot particles accumulated in
the DPF
® are combusted automatically
during driving. However, they may not be
combusted in the following cases.
• When you drive at low speed for a long
time
• When you repeat a short-time or short-
distance driving
1) When the DPF
® warning light comes
on, drive at a speed of 50 km/h (31
mph) or higher for more than 25 min-
utes to regenerate the DPF
® properly.
For details, refer to “Diesel particulate
filter (DPF
®)” in “OPERATING YOUR
VEHICLE” section.
2) When the oil change request light
blinks, change the engine oil and oil fil-
ter, and reset the oil life monitoring sys-
tem. To reset the oil life monitoring
system, consult your SUZUKI dealer.
3) When the engine oil level exceeds the
MAX level on the dipstick, consult your
SUZUKI dealer.
Refilling
81A147
Remove the oil filler cap and pour oil slowly
through the filler hole to bring the oil level
to the upper limit on the dipstick. Be careful
not to overfill the oil. Too much oil is almost
as bad as too little oil. After refilling, start the
engine and allow it to idle for about a min-
ute. Stop the engine, wait about 5 minutes
and check the oil level again.
NOTICE
Failure to check the oil level regularly
could lead to serious engine trouble
due to insufficient oil.
NOTICE
(For diesel engine model)
Do not top up the oil over the MAX
limit. Too much oil causes serious
engine trouble.
