NOTICE
When installing the spark plugs, screw them in with your fingers to avoid stripping the threads. Tighten the spark plugs with a torque wrench to 17.5 Nm (1.7 kgÂm, 12.9 lb-ft). Do not allow contamiÂnants to enter the engine through the spark plug holes when the plugs are removed. Never use spark plugs with the wrong thread size.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
To check the gear oil level, use the folÂlowing 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 transmission;
3) If gear oil fiows from the plug hole, the oil level is correct. Reinstall the plug. If gear oil does not fiow from the plug hole, add oil through the filler plug hole until oil fiows a little from the plug hole.

78RB07010
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.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
specified pressure when tyres cool down. Also, tyres that are inflated to the specified pressure in a warm garage may have presÂsure below the specification when the vehiÂcle is driven outside in very cold temperature. If you adjust the tyre presÂsure in a garage that is warmer than the outside temperature, you should add 1 kPa to the recommended cold tyre pressure for every O.B'C difference between garage temperature and outside temperature.
6-37
Tyre inspection
Inspect your vehicle's tyres at least once a month or before long trip by performing the following checks:
1) Measure the air pressure with a tyre gauge. Adjust the pressure if necesÂsary. Remember to check the spare tyre, too.
A WARNING
• Air pressures should be checked when the tyres are cold or you may get inaccurate readings. Check the inflation pressure from time to time while inflating the tyre gradually, until the specified presÂsure is obtained. Never under-inflate or over-inflate the tyres. Under-inflation can cause unusual handling characteristics or can cause the rim to slip on the tyre bead, resulting in an accident or damage to the tyre or rim. Over-inflation can cause the lyre to burst, resulting in personal injury. Over-inflation can also cause unusual handling characteristics which may result in an accident.

(1) Tread wear indicator (2) Indicator location mark
2) Check that the depth of the tread groove is more than 1.6 mm (0.06 in.). To help you check this, the tyres have molded-in tread wear indicators in the grooves. When the indicators appear on the tread surface, the remaining depth of the tread is 1.6 mm (0.06 in.) or less and the tyre should be replaced. 3) Check for abnormal wear, cracks and damage. Any tyres with cracks or other damage should be replaced. If any tyres show abnormal wear, have them inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.

A CAUTION
Hitting curbs and running over rocks can damage tyres and affect wheel alignment. Have tyres and wheel alignment checked periodically by a SUZUKI dealer.
4) Check for loose wheel nuts. 5) Check that there are no nails, stones or other objects sticking into the tyres.
A WARNING
• Your SUZUKI vehicle is equipped with tyres which are all the same type and size. This is important to ensure proper steering and hanÂdling of the vehicle. Never mix tyres of different size or type on the four wheels of your vehicle. The size and type of tyres used should be only those approved by SUZUKI as standard or optional equipment for your vehicle. Replacing the wheels and tyres equipped on your vehicle with cerÂtain combinations of aftermarket wheels and tyres can significantly change the steering and handling characteristics of your vehicle. Therefore, use only those wheel and tyre combinations approved by SUZUKI as standard or optional equipment for your vehicle.
NOTICE
Replacing the original tyres with tyres of a different size may result in false speedometer or odometer readings. Check with a SUZUKI dealer before purchasing replaceÂment tyres that differ in size from the original tyres. Replacing a tyre with one of a difÂferent size, or using different brands among the four tyres can result in damage to the drive train.

Changing wheels
To change a wheel, use the following proÂ
cedure: 1) Prepare the jack, tools and spare tyre. 2) Loosen, but do not remove the wheel nuts. 3) Jack up the vehicle (follow the jacking instructions in this section).
A WARNING
Shift into "P" (Park) for an automatic transmission, or into 11R" (Reverse) for a manual transmission vehicle when you jack up the vehicle. Never jack up the vehicle with the transmission in "N" (Neutral). OthR erwise, unstable jack may cause an accident.
4) Remove the wheel nuts and wheel.

5) Clean any mud or dirt off from the surÂface of the wheel (1 ), hub (2), thread part (3) and surface of the wheel nuts (4) with a clean cloth. Clean the hub carefully; it may be hot from driving.
EMERGENCY SERVICE
6) Install the new wheel and replace the wheel nuts with their cone shaped end facing the wheel. Tighten each nut snugly by hand until the wheel is securely seated on the hub.

APPEARANCE CARE
Corrosion prevention
It is_ important to take good care of your vehicle to protect it from corrosion. Listed below are instructions for how to maintain your vehicle to prevent corrosion. Please read and follow these instructions carefully.
Important information about corroÂ
sion
Common causes of corrosion 1) Accumulation of road salt, dirt moisture or chemicals in hard-to-reach areas of the vehicle underbody or frame. 2) Chipping, scratches and any damage to treated or painted metal surfaces resulting from minor accidents or abraÂsion by stones and gravel.
Environmental conditions which accelÂerate corrosion 1) Road salt, dust control chemicals, sea breeze or industrial pollution will all accelerate the corrosion of metal. 2) High humidity will increase the rate of corrosion particularly when the temÂperature range is just above the freezÂing point. 3) Moisture in certain areas of a vehicle for an extended period of lime may proÂmote corrosion even though other body sections may be completely dry.
8-1
4) High temperatures will cause an accelÂerated rate of corrosion to parts of the vehicle which are not well-ventilated to permit quick drying.
This information illustrates the necessity of keeping your vehicle (particularly the ~nderbody) as clean and dry as possible. It Is equally important to repair any damage to the paint or protective coatings as soon as possible.
How to help prevent corrosion
Wash your vehicle frequently The_ best way to preserve the finish on your vehicle and to help avoid corrosion is to keep it clean with frequent washing. Wash your vehicle at least once during the winter and once immediately after the winÂter. K<:ep your vehicle, particularly the underside, as clean and dry as possible. If you frequently drive on salted roads your vehicle should be washed at least once a month during the winter. If you live near the ocean, your vehicle should be washed at least once a month throughout the year.
For washing instructions, refer to "Vehicle cleaning" section.
Remove foreign material deposits Foreign materials such as salts chemicals road oil or tar, tree sap, bird droppings and industnal fall-out may damage the finish of your vehicle if it is left on painted surfaces. Remove these types of deposits as quickly as possible. If these deposits are difficult to wash off, an additional cleaner may be required. Check that any cleaner you use is not harmful to painted surfaces and is specifically intended for your purposes. Follow the manufacturer's directions when using these special cleaners.
Repair finish damage Carefully examine your vehicle for damage to the painted surfaces. Should you find any chip~ or scratches in the paint, touch them up 1mmed1ately to prevent corrosion from starting. If the chips or scratches have gone through to the bare metal have a qualified body shop make the rep~ir.
Keep passenger and luggage compartÂments clean Moisture, dirt or mud can accumulate under the floor mats and may cause corroÂsion. Occasionally, check under these mats to ensure that this area is clean and dry. More fr~quent checks are necessary if the vehicle Is used for off-road driving or in wet weather. Certain cargos such as chemicals, fertilizÂers, cleaners, salts, etc. are extremely corÂrosive by nature. These products should be transported in sealed containers. If they
