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.

lowing procedure:
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface with
the parking brake applied. Then, stop
the engine.
2) Remove the oil filler and level plug.
For the manual transaxle;
3) If gear oil flows from the plug hole, the
oil level is correct. Reinstall the plug. If
gear oil does not flow from the plug
hole, add oil through the filler plug hole
until oil flows a littl e from the plug hole.
For the transfer and rear differential;
3) Check the inside of the hole with your finger. If the oil level comes up to the
bottom of the plug hole, the oil level is
correct. If so, reinstall the plug.
4) If the oil level is low, add gear oil through the oil filler and level plug hole
until the oil level reaches the bottom of
the filler hole, and then reinstall the
plug.

Clutch pedal play “d”:
10 – 15 mm (0.4 – 0.6 in.)
Measure the clutch pedal play by moving
the clutch pedal with your hand and mea-
suring the distance it moves until you feel
slight resistance. The play in the clutch
pedal should be between the specified val-
ues. If the play is more or less than the
above, or clutch dragging is felt with the
pedal fully depressed, have the clutch
inspected by your SUZUKI dealer.
BrakesBrake fluid
75RM095
Check the brake fluid level by looking at
the reservoir in the engine compartment.
Check that the fluid level is between “MAX”
and “MIN” lines.
EXAMPLE
NOTICE
If your brake fluid level is near the
“MIN” line, there is a possibility of
brake pad and/or shoe wear and brake
fluid leakage.
Consult with your authorized SUZUKI
dealer regarding this possibility
before filling the reservoir.
WA R N I N G
Failure to follow the guidelines below
can result in personal injury or seri-
ous damage to the brake system.
• If the brake fluid in the reservoir drops below a certain level, the
brake warning light on the instru-
ment cluster will come on (the
engine must be running with the
parking brake fully disengaged).
Should the light come on, immedi-
ately ask your SUZUKI dealer to
inspect the brake system.
• A rapid fluid loss indicates leakage
in the brake system which should
be inspected by your SUZUKI
dealer immediately.
• Do not use any fluid other than SAE J1703 or DOT3 brake fluid. Do not
use reclaimed fluid or fluid that has
been stored in old or open contain-
ers. It is essential that foreign parti-
cles and other liquids are kept out
of the brake fluid reservoir.
CAUTION
Brake fluid can harm your eyes and
damage painted surfaces. Be careful
when refilling the reservoir.

7-37INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
75RM4-01E
NOTE:
• The fluid level can be expected to gradu-ally fall as the brake pad and/or shoe
wear.
• Brake fluid absorbs water over time and
brake fluid with high water content may
cause vapor lock or brake system mal-
function.
Replace your brake fluid in accordance
with the maintenance schedule in your
Owner’s Manual.Brake pedalCheck brake pedal stroke. If the stroke is
so large, have the brake system inspected
by your SUZUKI dealer. If you doubt the
brake pedal is at its normal height, check it
as follows:
54G108
Minimum distance between brake pedal
and floor carpet “a”: 73 mm (2.9 in.)
With the engine running, measure the dis-
tance between the brake pedal and floor
carpet when the pedal is depressed with
approximately 30 kg (66 lbs) of force. The
minimum distance required is as specified.
Since your vehicle’s brake system is self-
adjusting, there is no need for pedal
adjustment.
If the pedal to floor carpet distance as
measured above is less than the minimum
distance required, have your vehicle
inspected by your SUZUKI dealer.
NOTE:
When measuring the distance between the
brake pedal and floor wall, be sure not to
include the floor mat or rubber on the floor
wall in your measurement.
