Vehicle Lifting Points
When Using Frame Contact Hoist
WARNING:
Before applying hoist to underbody, always take vehicle balance throughout service into consider-
ation. Vehicle balance on hoist may change depending on what part to be removed.
Before lifting up the vehicle, check to be sure that end of hoist arm is not in contact with brake pipe,
fuel pipe, bracket or any other part.
When using frame contact hoist, apply hoist as shown (right and left at the same position). Lift up
the vehicle till 4 tires are a little off the ground and make sure that the vehicle will not fall off by try-
ing to move vehicle body in both ways. Work can be started only after this confirmation.
Make absolutely sure to lock hoist after vehicle is hoisted up.

When Using Floor Jack
In raising front or rear vehicle end off the floor by jacking, be sure
to put the jack against the center portion of the front axle housing
(1) or rear axle housing (2).
To perform service with either front or rear vehicle end jacked up,
be sure to place safety stands (1) under chassis frame so that
body is securely supported. And then check to ensure that chas-
sis frame does not slide on safety stands (1) and the vehicle is
held stable for safety’s sake. WARNING:
If the vehicle to be jacked up only at the front or rear end,
be sure to block the wheels on ground in order to ensure
safety.
After the vehicle is jacked up, be sure to support it on
stands. It is extremely dangerous to do any work on the
vehicle raised on jack alone.
CAUTION:
Never apply jack against suspension parts (i.e., stabi-
lizer, etc.) or vehicle floor, or it may get deformed.

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
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).

2. Thickness gauge
WARNING:
New and used engine oil can be hazardous.
Be sure to read “WARNING” in General Precaution in
Section 0A and observe what in written there.
Step 1) – 7) outlined below must be performed with
ENGINE NOT RUNNING. For step 8), be sure to have
adequate ventilation while engine is running.

6) Replenish oil until oil level is brought to FULL level mark on
dipstick. (oil pan and oil filter capacity). The filler inlet is at
the top of the cylinder head cover.
It is recommended to use engine oil of SE, SF, SG, SH, SJ or
SL grade.
Select the appropriate oil viscosity according to the proper
engine oil viscosity chart [A].
Engine oil specification
7) Check oil filter and drain plug for oil leakage.
8) Start engine and run it for three minutes. Stop it and wait five
minutes before checking oil level. Add oil, as necessary, to
bring oil level to FULL level mark on dipstick.
Engine Coolant
CHANGE
Change engine coolant referring to “Cooling System Flush and
Refill” in Section 6B.
Exhaust System
INSPECTION
Oil pan capacity About 3.8 liters (8.0/6.7 US/lmp pt.)
Oil filter capacity About 0.2 liters (0.4/0.3 US/lmp pt.)
Others About 0.3 liters (0.6/0.5 US/lmp pt.)
Total About 4.3 liters (9.1/7.6 US/lmp pt.)
NOTE:
Engine oil capacity is specified. However, note that the
amount of oil required when actually changing oil may
somewhat differ from the data in the table depending on
various conditions (temperature, viscosity, etc.)
1. Full level mark (hole)
2. Low level mark (hole)
WARNING:
To avoid danger of being burned, do not touch exhaust
system when it is still hot. Any service on exhaust sys-
tem should be performed when it is cool.

Inspect belt system including webbing, buckles, latch plates, retractors and anchors for damage or wear.
If “REPLACE BELT” label on front seat belt is visible, replace belt. Check that seat belt is securely locked.
BATTERY ELECTROLYTE LEVEL CHECK
Check that the electrolyte level of all battery cells is between the upper and lower level lines on the case. If bat-
tery is equipped with built-in indicator, check battery condition by the indicator.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL OPERATION
Check that pedal operates smoothly without getting caught or interfered by any other part.
ENGINE START
Check engine start for readiness.
On automatic transmission vehicles, try to start the engine in each select lever position. The starting motor
should crank only in “P” (Park) or “N” (Neutral).
On manual transmission vehicles, place the shift lever in “Neutral,” depress clutch pedal fully any try to start.
EXHAUST SYSTEM CHECK
Check for leakage, cracks or loose supports.
CLUTCH (FOR MANUAL TRANSMISSION)
Check for the following.
Clutch is completely released when depressing clutch pedal,
No slipping clutch occurs when releasing pedal and accelerating.
Clutch itself is free from any abnormal condition. WARNING:
When carrying out road tests, select a safe place where no man or no running vehicle is seen so as to
prevent any accident.
WARNING:
Before performing the following check, be sure to have enough room around the vehicle. Then, firmly
apply both the parking brake and the regular brakes. Do not use the accelerator pedal. If the engine
starts, be ready to turn off the ignition promptly. Take these precautions because the vehicle could
move without warning and possibly cause personal injury or property damage.
