7B-56 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (4 A/T)
FLUID LEVEL AT ROOM TEMPERATURE
INSPECTION
The fluid level check at room temperature performed after repair
or fluid change before test driving is just preparation for level
check of normal operation temperature. The checking procedure
itself is the same as that described previously. If the fluid level is
between FULL COLD and LOW COLD, proceed to test drive. And
when the fluid temperature has reached the normal operating
temperature, check fluid again and adjust it as necessary.
FLUID CHANGE
1) Lift up vehicle.
2) When engine has cooled down, remove drain plug (1) from
oil pan and drain A/T fluid.
3) Install drain plug.

Be sure to keep transmission with torque converter hori-
zontal or facing up throughout the work. Should it be
tilted with torque converter down, converter may fall off
and cause personal injury.

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
authorized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to “Air Bag System Components and Wiring Location View” under
“General Description” in air bag system section in order to confirm whether you are performing ser-
vice on or near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARNINGS and “Ser-
vice Precautions” 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).
