• Be careful when overtaking othervehicles. Allow enough room for
your trailer before changing lanes,
and use turn signal lights properly
in advance.
• Slow down and shift into a lower gear before you reach long or steep
downhill grades. It is hazardous to
attempt downshifting while you are
descending a hill.
• Do not step on the brake pedal strongly. This could cause the
brakes to over-heat resulting in
reduced braking efficiency. Use
engine braking as much as possi-
ble.
• Because of the added trailer weight, your engine may overheat
on hot days when going up long or
steep hills. Pay attention to your
engine temperature. If the high
engine coolant temperature warn-
ing light (red color) indicates over-
heating, pull off the road and stop
the vehicle in a safe place. Refer to
“Engine trouble: Overheating” in
the “EMERGENCY SERVICE” sec-
tion.
WA R N I N G
When parking your vehicle and con-
nected trailer, always use the follow-
ing procedure:
1) Apply the vehicle’s brakes firmly.
2) Have another person place wheel
chocks under the wheels of the
vehicle and the trailer while you
are holding the brakes.
3) Slowly release the brakes until the wheel chocks absorb the load.
4) Fully engage the parking brake.
5) Manual transaxle – turn off the engine, then shift into reverse or
first gear.
Auto Gear Shift – shift into reverse
or first gear and check the gear
position indicator in the instru-
ment cluster to make sure that the
transaxle is engaged in 1st or
reverse, then turn off the engine.
CVT – shift into “P” (Park) and
turn off the engine.
When starting out after parking:
1) Depress the clutch and start the engine.
2) Shift into gear, release the parking brake, and slowly pull away from
the chocks.
3) Stop, apply the brakes firmly and hold them.
4) Have another person remove the
chocks.

Since special procedures, materials and
tools are required, it is recommended that
you trust this job to your authorized
SUZUKI dealer.
Continuously variable transaxle (CVT) fluidSpecified fluidUse a CVT fluid SUZUKI CVT FLUID
GREEN-2.Fluid level checkYou must check the fluid level with the CVT
fluid at normal ope rating temperature.
To check the fluid level:
1) To warm up the CVT fluid, drive the vehicle for more 5 km. NOTE:
Do not check the fluid level if you have just
driven the vehicle for a long time at high
speed, or if you have driven in city traffic in
hot weather, or if the vehicle has been pull-
ing a trailer. Wait until the fluid cools down
(about 30 minutes), or the fluid level indi-
cation will not be correct.
2) Park your vehicle on level ground.
3) Apply the parking brake and then start
the engine in “P” (Park). Let it idle for
two minutes and keep it running during
the fluid level check.
4) With your foot on the brake pedal,
move the gearshift lever through each
gear, pausing for about three seconds
in each range. Then move it back to the
“P” (Park) position.
NOTICE
When replacing spark plugs, you
should use the brand and type speci-
fied for your vehicle. For the specified
plugs, refer to “SPECIFICATIONS”
section in the end of this book. If you
wish to use a brand of spark plug
other than the specified plugs, con-
sult your SUZUKI dealer.
NOTICE
Driving with too much or too little
fluid can damage the transaxle.
NOTICE
Be sure to use the specified CVT
fluid. Using CVT fluid other than
SUZUKI CVT FLUID GREEN-2 may
damage the CVT of your vehicle.
WA R N I N G
Be sure to depress the brake pedal
when moving the gearshift lever, or
the vehicle can move suddenly.
