There are two kinds of colored wire used in this vehicle. One is
single-colored wire and the other is dual-colored (striped) wire.
The single-colored wire uses only one color symbol (i.e. “G”).
The dual-colored wire uses two color symbols (i.e. “G/Y”). The first
symbol represents the base color of the wire (“G” in the figure) and
the second symbol represents the color of the stripe (“Y” in the fig-
ure).

MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with Supplemental Restraint (Air Bag) System:
Service on and around the air bag system components or wiring must be performed only by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to “Air Bag System Components and Wiring Location View” under “Gener-
al Description” in air bag system section 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 air bag system section before performing service on or around
the air bag system components or wiring. Failure to follow WARNINGS could result in unintentional
activation of the system or could render the system inoperative. Either of 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).

7) Replenish oil until oil level is brought to FULL level mark on dip-
stick (oil pan and oil filter capacity). Filler inlet is at the top of cyl-
inder head cover.
8) Start engine and run it for three minutes. Stop it and wait another
5 minutes before checking oil level. Add oil, as necessary, to
bring oil level to FULL level mark on dipstick.
Engine Oil Capacity
NOTE:
Engine oil capacity is specified as left table.
However, note that amount of oil required when actually
changing oil may somewhat differ from data in left table de-
pending on various conditions (temperature, viscosity, etc.).
9) Check oil filter and drain plug for oil leakage.
ITEM 1-5
Engine Coolant Change
WARNING:
To help avoid danger of being burned, do not remove radia-
tor cap while engine and radiator are still hot. Scalding fluid
and steam can be blown out under pressure if cap is taken
off too soon.
CAUTION:
When changing engine coolant, use mixture of 50% water
and 50% ethylene-glycol base coolant (Anti-Freeze/Anti-
corrosion coolant) for the market where ambient tempera-
ture falls lower than –16C (3F) in winter and mixture of
70% water and 30% ethylene-glycol base coolant for the
market where ambient temperature doesn’t fall lower than
–16C (3F).
Even in a market where no freezing temperature is antici-
pated, mixture of 70% water and 30% ethylene-glycol base
coolant should be used for the purpose of corrosion protec-
tion and lubrication.
Refer to SECTION 6B for COOLANT CAPACITY.
MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION 0B-13
ITEM 5-2
Brake Hoses and Pipes Inspection
Perform this inspection where there is enough light and use a mirror
as necessary.
Check brake hoses and pipes for proper hook-up, leaks, cracks,
chafing, wear, corrosion, bends, twists and other damage.
Replace any of these parts as necessary.
Check all clamps for tightness and connections for leakage.
Check that hoses and pipes are clear of sharp edges, moving
parts.
CAUTION:
After replacing any brake pipe or hose, be sure to carry out
air purge operation.
ITEM 5-3
Brake Fluid Change
CAUTION:
Since brake system of this vehicle is factory-filled with
brake fluid indicated on reservoir cap, do not use or mix dif-
ferent type of fluid when refilling; otherwise serious dam-
age will occur.
Do not use old or used brake fluid, or any fluid from a un-
sealed container.
Change brake fluid as follows.
Drain existing fluid from brake system completely, fill system with
specified fluid and carry out air purge operation.
For air purging procedure, refer to SECTION 5.
1. Ball joint stud dust seal (boot)
2. Suspension arm
1. Tie-rod end boot
2. Steering gear case boot
3. Universal joint
0B-16 MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Check front and rear suspension systems for damaged, loose or
missing parts; also for parts showing signs of wear or lack of lu-
brication.
Repair or replace defective parts, if any.
Check front suspension arm ball joint stud dust seals for leakage,
detachment, tear or any other damage.
Replace defective boot, if any.
ITEM 6-5
Steering System Inspection
1) Check steering wheel for play and rattle, holding vehicle straight
on ground.
Steering wheel play “a”: 0 – 30 mm (0 – 1.1 in.)
2) Check steering linkage for looseness and damage. Repair or re-
place defective parts, if any.
3) Check boots of steering linkage and steering gear case for dam-
age (leaks, detachment, tear, etc.). If damage is found, replace
defective boot with new one.
4) Check universal joints of steering shaft for rattle and damage. If
rattle or damage is found, replace defective part with a new one.
ITEM 6-6
Power Steering (P / S) System Inspection (if equipped)
1) Visually check power steering system for fluid leakage and hose
for damage and deterioration.
Repair or replace defective parts, if any.
2) With engine stopped, check fluid level indicated on fluid tank,
which should be between MAX and MIN marks. If it is lower than
MIN, fill fluid up to MAX mark.
NOTE
Be sure to use specified P / S fluid.
Fluid level should be checked when fluid is cool.
3) Visually check pump drive belt for cracks and wear.
4) Check belt for tension, referring to item 1-1 in this section.
If necessary, adjust or replace.
