Wiper and washer operation
When the ignition switch is in "ON" posi­tion, you can use the wiper/washer lever.
When the wipers are under heavy load such as covered by snow, the breaker will be activated and the wipers will stop oper­ating to protect the wiper motor from over­heating. If the wiper stops during operation, do the following methods.
1) Stop the vehicle in a safe place, and turn the engine off. 2) Move the wiper lever and switch to "OFF" position. 3) Remove obstacles such as snow on the wipers. 4) After a while, when the temperature of the wiper motor becomes low enough, the breaker will be reset automatically and the wipers will be able to use.
If you cannot use the wipers after a while, there may be another problem. Ask a SUZUKI dealer to have the wipers inspected.

78RB02059
To turn the windshield wipers on, move the lever down to one of the three operating positions. In "INT" position, the wipers operate intermittently. The "INT" position is very convenient for driving in mist or light rain. In "LO" position, the wipers operate at a steady low speed. In "HI" position, the wipers operate at a steady high speed. To turn off the wipers, move the lever back to "OFF" position.
Move the lever up and hold it to "MIST" position, the windshield wipers will turn on continuously at low speed.

Daily inspection checklist
Before driving
60A187
1) Check that windows, mirrors, lights and reflectors are clean and unobstructed. 2) Visually check the tyres for the follow-ing points: -the depth of the tread groove -abnormal wear, cracks and damage -loose wheel nuts -existence of foreign material such as nails, stones, etc.
Refer to "Tyres" in "INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE" section for details. 3) Look for fluid and oil leakage.
3-1
NOTE: It is normal for water to drip from the air conditioning system while and 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 opera­tion. 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 by the seat belts. 1 0)Check that all warning lights come on as the ignition switch is turned to "ON" position. 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 fluid (acid) level 5) Windshield washer fluid level
6) Hood latch operation Pull the hood release handle inside the vehicle. Check that you cannot open . the hood further 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 MAINTE­NANCE" section for lubrication sched­ule.
A WARNING
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.
Once a month, or each time you fill your fuel tank, check the tyre pressure using a tyre pressure gauge. Also check the tyre pressure of the spare tyre.

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 acceler­ation 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 consump­tion, 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 nor­mal 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 driv­ing. This is because the oil gradually becomes diluted with fuel or moisture,
making it appear that the oil level has not changed. You should also be aware that the diluting ingredients evaporate out when the vehicle is subsequently driven at high speeds, such as on an expressway, making it appear that oil is excessively consumed after high-speed driving.

Ignition key reminder A buzzer sounds intermittently to remind you to remove the ignition key if it is in the ignition switch when the driver's door is opened.

A. WARNING
Never return the ignition switch to "LOCK" position and remove the ignition key while the vehicle is moving. The steering wheel will lock and you will not be able to steer the vehicle. (Continued)
A. WARNING
(Continued) Always return the ignition switch to "LOCK" position and remove the ignition key when leaving the vehi­cle even only for a short time. Also do not leave children alone in a parked vehicle. Unattended chil­dren may be able to start the vehi­cle or shift the transmission into neutral, which could result in an accident. There is also a danger that children may injure them­selves by playing with the power windows or other moving features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or extremely cold tem­peratures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
NOTICE
For protection of a lead-acid bat­tery and a starter motor, do not use the starter motor by turning the key to "START" for more than 12 sec­onds at a time. If the engine dose not start, turn the key to "LOCK" position and wait for more than 30 seconds before trying again. If the engine does not start after several attempts, consult a SUZUKI dealer or a qualified workshop.

The gearshift lever is designed so that it cannot be shifted out of "P" position unless the ignition switch is in "ON" position and the brake pedal is depressed.
Use the gearshift lever positions as fol­lows:
P (Park) Use this position to lock the transmission when the vehicle is parked or when start­ing the engine. Shift into Park only when the vehicle is completely stationary.
R (Reverse) Use this position to reverse the vehicle from stop. Make sure that vehicle is corn-
pletely stationary before shifting into Reverse.
N (Neutral) Use this position for starting the engine if the engine stalls and you need to restart it while the vehicle is moving. You may also shift into Neutral and depress the brake pedal to hold the vehicle stationary during
idling.
D (Drive) Use this position for all normal driving.
With the gearshift lever in "D" range you ?an get an automatic downshift by press­ing the accelerator pedal. The higher the vehicle speed is, the more you need to press the accelerator pedal to get a down­shift.
2 (Low2) Use this position to provide extra power when climbing hills, or to provide engine braking when going down hills.
L (Low 1) Use this position to provide maximum power when climbing steep hills or driving through deep snow or mud, or to provide maximum engine braking when going down steep hills.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
A, WARNING
Always depress the brake pedal before shifting from "P" (Park) (or "N" (Neutral) if the vehicle is station­ary) to a forward or reverse gear, to help prevent the vehicle from moving unexpectedly when you shift.
