.A. WARNING

Take extreme care when working on·

your vehicle to prevent accidental

injury. Carefully observe the follow-

ing precautions:

• To prevent damage or unintended

activation of the airbag system or

seat belt pretensioner system, check

that the lead-acid battery is discon-

nected and the ignition switch has

been in "LOCK" position for at least

90 seconds before performing any

electrical service work on your

SUZUKI vehicle. Do not touch airbag

system components, seat belt pre-

tensioner system components or

wires.

The wires are wrapped with yellow

tape or yellow tubing, and the cou-

plers are yellow for easy identifica-

tion.

Do not leave the engine running in

garages or other confined areas.

(Continued)

6-1

.A. WARNING

(Continued)

When the engine is running, keep

hands, clothing, tools, and other

objects away from the fan and drive

belt. Even though the fan may not

be moving, it can automatically

turn on without warning .

• When it is necessary to perform

service work with the engine run~

ning, check that the parking brake

is set fully and the transmission is

in Neutral (for manual transmission

vehicles) or Park (for automatic

transmission vehicles).

Do not touch ignition wires or other

ignition system parts when starting

the engine or when the engine is

running, or you could receive an

electric shock.

• Be careful not to touch a hot

engine, exhaust manifold and

pipes, muffler, radiator and water

hoses.

Do not allow smoking, sparks, or

flames around fuel or the battery.

Flammable fumes are present.

Do not get under your vehicle if it is

supported only with the portable

jack provided in your vehicle.

• Be careful not to cause accidental

short circuits between the positive

and negative battery terminals.

(Continued)

.A. WARNING

(Continued)

Keep used oil, coolant, and other

fluids away from children and pets.

Dispose of used fluids properly;

never pour them on the ground,

into sewers, etc.

Maintenance schedule

The following table shows the timing when

you should perform regular maintenance

on your vehicle. This table shows in miles,

kilometers and months when you should

perform inspections, adjustments, lubrica-

tion and other services. These intervals

should be shortened if driving is usually

done under severe conditions (refer to

"Maintenance recommended under severe

driving conditions") .

.A, WARNING

SUZUKI recommends that mainte-

nance on items marked with an aster~

isk (*) be performed by a SUZUKI

dealer or a qualified service techni-

cian. If you are qualified, you may

perform maintenance on the

unmarked items by referring to the

instructions in this section. If you are

not sure whether you can success~

fully ·complete any of the unmarked

maintenance jobs, ask a SUZUKI

dealer to do the maintenance for you.

NOTICE

Whenever it becomes necessary to

replace parts on your vehicle, it is

recommended that you use genuine

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

Drive belt

A WARNING

When the engine is running, keep

hands, hair, clothing, tools, etc. away

from the moving fan and drive belts.

Check that the drive belt tension is correct

while the engine is stopped. If the belt is

too loose, insufficient battery charging,

engine overheating, poor air conditioning,

or excessive belt wear can result. When

you push the belt with your thumb midpoint

between the pulleys, there should be a

deflection according to the following chart.

The belts should also be examined to

ensure that they are not damaged.

If you need to replace or adjust the belt

have it done by a SUZUKI dealer.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

It is important to keep the engine oil at the

correct level for proper lubrication of your

vehicle's engine. Check the oil level with

the vehicle on a level surface. The oil level

indication may be inaccurate if the vehicle

is on a slope. The oil level should be

checked either before starting the engine

or at least 5 minutes after stopping the

engine.

The handle of the engine oil dipstick is col-

ored with yellow for easy identification.

6-25

Pull out the oil dipstick, wipe the oil off with

a clean cloth, insert the dipstick all the way

into the engine, and then remove it again.

The oil on the stick should be between the

upper and lower limits shown on the stick.

If the oil level indication is near the lower,

limit, add enough oil to raise the level to

the upper limit.

NOTICE

Failure to check the oil level regularly

could lead to serious engine trouble

due to insufficient oil.

Refilling

Open Close

tr-------~,

• \lc----------,1/.

52RM60020

Remove the oil filler cap and pour oil slowly

through the filler hole to bring the oil level

to the upper limit on the dipstick. Be careful

not to overfill the oil. Too much oil is almost

as bad as too little oil. After refilling, start the

engine and allow it to idle for about a min-

ute. Stop the engine, wait about 5 minutes

and check the oil level again.

Changing engine oil and filter

Drain the engine oil while the engine is still

warm.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

Tyres

78RB07013

The front and rear tyre pressure specifica-

tions are listed in the tyre information label.

Both front and rear tyres should have the

specified tyre pressure.

NOTE:

The tyre pressure will change due to

changes in atmospheric pressure, tem-

perature or tyre temperature when driving.

To reduce the chance that the low tyre

pressure warning light (if equipped) will

come on due to normal changes in tem-

perature and atmospheric pressure, it is

important to check and adjust the tyre

pressures when the tyres are cold. If you

check tyres after driving, they are warm.

Even if the tyre pressure seems to be good

in this condition, it could fall below the

6-36

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

specified pressure when tyres cool down.

Also, tyres that are inflated to the specified

pressure in a warm garage may have pres-

sure below the specification when the vehi-

cle is driven outside in very cold

temperature. If you adjust the tyre pres-

sure 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 neces-

sary. 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 pres-

sure 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.

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 han-

dling 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 cer-

tain 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 replace-

ment tyres that differ in size from

the original tyres.

Replacing a tyre with one of a dif-

ferent size, or using different

brands among the four tyres can

result in damage to the drive train.

Air conditioning system

If you do not use the air conditioner for a

long period, such as during winter, it may

not give the best performance when you

start using it again. To help maintain opti-

mum performance and durability of your air

conditioner, it needs to be run periodically.

Operate the air conditioner at least once a

month for one minute with the engine

idling. This circulates the refrigerant and oil
