INSPECTION
1) Inspect transmission case for evidence of oil leakage.
Repair leaky point if any.
2) Make sure that vehicle is placed level for oil level check.
3) Remove level plug (2) of transmission.
4) Check oil level.
Oil level can be checked roughly by means of level plug hole.
That is, if oil flows out of level plug hole or if oil level is found
up to hole when level plug is removed, oil is properly filled.
If oil is found insufficient, pour specified amount of specified
oil.

Check” in Section 7B and be sure to perform it under speci-
fied conditions. If fluid level is low, replenish specified fluid.
CHANGE
1) Inspect transmission case for evidence of fluid leakage.

hose for damage and deterioration.
Repair or replace defective parts, if any.
2) With engine stopped, check fluid level indicated on fluid tank
or level gauge of tank cap, which should be between MAX
and MIN marks. If it is lower than MIN, fill fluid up to MAX
mark.
3) Visually check pump drive belt for cracks and wear.
4) Check belt for tension, referring to “Drive Belt” in this section.
If necessary, have belt adjusted or replaced.

DOORS INSPECTION
Check that each door of front and back doors opens and closes
smoothly and locks securely when closed.
If any malfunction is found, lubricate hinge and latch or repair
door lock system.
ENGINE HOOD INSPECTION
Check that secondary latch operates properly (check that sec-
ondary latch keeps hood from opening all the way even when pull-
ing hood release handle inside vehicle.) Also check that hood
opens and closes smoothly and properly and hood locks securely
when closed.
If any malfunction is found, lubricate hinge and latch, or repair
hood lock system. Check hood latch bolt for tightness.

WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with Supplement Restraint (Air Bag) System
 Service on and around the air bag system components or wiring must be performed only by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to “Air Bag System Components and Wiring Location View” under
“General Description” in Section 10B in order to confirm whether you are performing service on or
near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARNINGS and “Service Precau-
tions” under “On-Vehicle Service” in Section 10B before performing service on or around the air
bag system components or wiring. Failure to follow WARNINGS could result in unintentional activa-
tion of the system or could render the system inoperative. Either or these two conditions may result
in severe injury.
 Technical service work must be started at least 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the
“LOCK” position and the negative cable is disconnected from the battery. Otherwise, the system
may be activated by reserve energy in the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
