2000 SUZUKI SWIFT check oil

GENERAL INFORMATION 0A-5
CAUTION:

Even when the accident was light enough not to cause air
bags to deploy, be sure to inspect system parts and other
related parts according to instructions under “Repair and
Inspection Required after an Accident” in Section 9J.

When servicing parts other than air bag system, if shocks
may be applied to air bag system component parts, re-
move those parts beforehand.

When handling the air bag (inflator) modules (driver and
passenger) or SDM, be careful not to drop it or apply an im-
pact to it. If an excessive impact was applied (e.g.,
dropped from a height of 91.4 cm (3 feet) or more), never
attempt disassembly or repair but replace it with a new
one.

When grease, cleaning agent, oil, water, etc. has got onto
air bag (inflator) modules (driver and passenger), wipe off
immediately with a dry cloth.

Air bag wire harness can be identified easily as it is cov-
ered with a yellow protection tube. Be very careful when
handling it.

When an open in air bag wire harness, damaged wire har-
ness, connector or terminal is found, replace wire har-
ness, connectors and terminals as an assembly.

Do not apply power to the air bag system unless all com-
ponents are connected or a diagnostic chart requests it,
as this will set a diagnostic trouble code.

Never use air bag system component parts from another
vehicle.

When using electric welding, be sure to temporarily dis-
able air bag system referring to “Disabling Air Bag Sys-
tem” under “Service Precaution” in Section 9J.

Never expose air bag system component parts directly to
hot air (drying or baking the vehicle after painting) or
flames.

WARNING / CAUTION labels are attached on each part of
air bag system components. Be sure to follow the instruc-
tions.

After vehicle is completely repaired, perform “Air Bag
Diagnostic System Check” described in “Diagnosis” in
Section 9J.

0A-8 GENERAL INFORMATION

When disconnecting vacuum hoses, attach a tag describing
the correct installation positions so that the hoses can be re-
installed correctly.

After servicing fuel, oil, coolant, vacuum, exhaust or brake
systems, check all lines related to the system for leaks.

For vehicles equipped with fuel injection systems, never dis-
connect the fuel line between the fuel pump and injector
without first releasing the fuel pressure, or fuel can be
sprayed out under pressure.

When performing a work that produces a heat exceeding
80C in the vicinity of the electrical parts, remove the heat
sensitive electrical part(s) beforehand.

Use care not to expose connectors and electrical parts to wa-
ter which will be a cause of a trouble.

Engine Oil and Filter Change
WARNING:
New and used engine oil can be hazardous.
Be sure to read “WARNING” in General Precaution in SEC-
TION 0A and observe what in written there.
Use engine oil of SE, SF, SG, SH or SJ grade.
Select the appropriate oil viscosity according to the left chart.
Before draining engine oil, check engine for oil leakage. If any evi-
dence of leakage is found, make sure to correct defective part be-
fore proceeding to following work.
1) Drain engine oil by removing drain plug.
2) After draining oil, wipe drain plug clean. Reinstall drain plug, and
tighten it securely as specified below.

4) Apply engine oil to new oil filter O-ring.
5) Screw new filter on oil filter stand by hand until filter O-ring con-
tacts mounting surface.
CAUTION:
To tighten oil filter properly, it is important to accurately
identify the position at which filter O-ring first contacts
mounting surface.

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.

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.
