Brake Fluid Level InspectionS6RW0D4106004
CAUTION!
Do not use shock absorber fluid or any other
fluid which contains mineral oil. Do not use a
container which has been used for mineral oil
or a container which is wet from water.
Mineral oil will cause swelling and distortion
of rubber parts in hydraulic brake system and
water mixed into brake fluid will lower fluid
boiling point. Keep all fluid containers
capped to prevent contamination.

NOTE
Be sure to use particular brake fluid either as
indicated on reservoir cap of that vehicle or
recommended in owner’s manual which
comes along with that vehicle. Use of any
other fluid is strictly prohibited.
Fluid level should be between MIN and MAX
lines marked on reservoir.
When brake warning light lights sometimes
during driving, replenish fluid to MAX level.
When fluid decreases quickly, inspect brake
system for leakage. Correct leaky points and
then refill to specified level.

1) Check master cylinder, reservoir and reservoir hose
(if equipped) for crack, damage and brake fluid
leakage. If any faulty condition exists, correct or
replace.
2) Check that brake fluid level is between MAX (1) and
MIN marks (2) on reservoir.
Brake Light Switch AdjustmentS6RW0D4106005
Adjustment should be made as follows. Pull up brake
pedal toward you and while holding it there, adjust
switch position so that clearance between end of thread
and brake pedal is as specified. Then lock it by turning
clockwise.
Clearance between brake pedal and brake light
switch
“a”: 0.5 – 1.5 mm (0.02 – 0.05 in.)
Air Bleeding of Brake SystemS6RW0D4106006
CAUTION!
Brake fluid is extremely damaging to paint. If
fluid should accidentally touch painted
surface, immediately wipe fluid from paint
and clean painted surface.

Bleeding operation is necessary to remove air whenever
it entered hydraulic brake system.
Hydraulic lines of brake system are based on the
diagonal split system. When a brake pipe or hose was
disconnected at the wheel, bleeding operation must be
performed at both ends of the line of the removed pipe or
hose. When any joint part of the master cylinder of other
joint part between the master cylinder and each brake
(wheel) was removed, the hydraulic brake system must
be bled at all 4 wheel brakes.
NOTE
Perform bleeding operation starting with rear
brake caliper or wheel cylinder farthest from
master cylinder and then at front caliper of
the same brake line. Do the same on the
other brake line.

On-Board Diagnostic System DescriptionS6RW0D5101005
NOTE
There are two types of OBD system
depending on the vehicle specification.For
identification, refer to “Precaution on On-
Board Diagnostic (OBD) System in Section
1A”.

For automatic transaxle control system, TCM has the
following functions.
• For Euro OBD model, when the ignition switch is
turned ON with the engine at a stop, MIL (1) turns ON
to check the bulb of the MIL.
• For Euro OBD model, when TCM detects a
malfunction in A/T control system TCM desires turning
on MIL and stores malfunction DTC in TCM memory.
(If it detects that continuously 3 driving cycles are
normal after detecting a malfunction, however, it
makes MIL turn OFF although DTC stored in its
memory will remain.)
• For Euro OBD model, it is possible to communicate
with TCM through data link connector (DLC) (2) by
using not only SUZUKI scan tool (3) but also CAN
communication OBD generic scan tool. (Diagnostic
information can be checked and erased by using scan
tool.)
• For non-Euro-OBD model, when ignition switch is
turned ON and no malfunction in A/T control system is
detected, transmission warning light (4) lights for
about 2 seconds after ignition switch is turned ON and
then goes OFF for bulb check.• For non-Euro-OBD model, when TCM detects a
malfunction in A/T control system, it indicates
transmission warning light (4) and stores malfunction
DTC in its memory.
• For information about the following items, refer to “On-
Board Diagnostic System Description in Section 1A”.
– Warm-up cycle
– Driving cycle
– 2 driving cycle detection logic
– Pending DTC
– Freeze frame date

below LOW HOT, add SUZUKI ATF 3317 or Mobil
ATF 3309 up to FULL HOT.
Automatic transaxle fluid
SUZUKI ATF 3317 or Mobil ATF 3309
NOTE
• Do not race engine while checking fluid
level, even after the engine start.
• Do not overfill. Overfilling can cause
foaming and loss of fluid through breather.
Then slippage and transaxle failure can
result.
• Bringing the level from LOW HOT to FULL
HOT requires 0.4 liters (0.85 / 0.70 US/Imp.
pt).
• If vehicle was driven under high load such
as pulling a trailer, fluid level should be
checked about half an hour after it is
stopped.

Level Check at Room (Cold) Temperature – Cold
Check
Fluid level can be checked temporarily at room (cold)
temperature which correspond to 20 – 30 °C (68 – 86
°F). This level check is considered to be preparation
before performing level check under normal operating
(hot) temperature. Checking procedure itself is the same
as that described in “Level Check at Normal Operating
(Hot) Temperature – Hot Check: ”. If fluid level is
between “FULL COLD” (4) and “LOW COLD” (5),
proceed to test drive. And when fluid temperature has
reached normal operating temperature, check fluid level
again and adjust it as necessary.
CAUTION!
Fluid level check at room (cold) temperature
is recommended only for preparation of level
check under normal (hot) operating
condition.
Failure to perform fluid level check under
normal (hot) operating temperature may
result in damage to transaxle.

A/T Fluid ChangeS6RW0D5106003
CAUTION!
Do not use any fluid other than the specified
ATF. Use of any fluid other than the specified
ATF may cause juddering or some other
faulty condition to occur.

1) Lift up vehicle.
2) Remove left side engine under cover.
3) When engine is cool, remove drain plug (1) from oil
pan (2) and drain A/T fluid.
4) Install drain plug (1).
