The TPMS system is ready for the sen-
sor matching process to begin.
5) Start with the driver side front tire.
6) Remove the valve cap from the tire’s
valve stem. Activate the TPMS sensor
by increasing or decreasing the tire’s
air pressure for five seconds, or until a
horn chirp sounds. The horn chirp,
which may take up to 30 seconds to
sound, confirms that the sensor identifi-
cation code has been matched to the
tire/wheel position. To decrease the
tire’s air-pressure use the pointed end
of the valve cap, a pencil-style air pres-
sure gage, or a key.
7) Proceed to the passenger side front
tire, and repeat the procedure in Step 6.
8) Proceed to the passenger side rear tire,
and repeat the procedure in Step 6.
9) Proceed to the driver side rear tire, and
repeat the procedure in Step 6.
10)After hearing the confirming horn chirp
for the driver side rear tire, the tire
learning process ends. Turn the ignition
switch to LOCK.
11)Set all four tires to the recommended
air pressure level as indicated on the
tire and loading information label.
12)Put the valve caps back on the valve
stems.

Tire Inspection and RotationTires should be rotated every 5000 to 8000
miles (8000 to 13000 km).
Any time you notice unusual wear, rotate
your tires as soon as possible and check
wheel alignment. Also check for damaged
tires or wheels. Refer to “When It Is Time
for New Tires” and “Wheel Replacement”
in this section for more information.The purpose of regular rotation is to
achieve more uniform wear for all tires on
the vehicle. The first rotation is the most
important. Refer to “Scheduled Mainte-
nance” in “Maintenance Schedule” in the
“Maintenance Schedule” section for sched-
uled rotation intervals.

When rotating your tires, always use the
correct rotation pattern shown here.
Do not include the compact spare tire in
your tire rotation.
After the tires have been rotated, adjust
the front and rear inflation pressures as
shown on the Tire and Loading Information
label. Refer to “Inflation -Tire Pressure” in
this section and “Loading Your Vehicle” in
“Your Driving, the Road, and Your Vehicle”
in the “Driving Your Vehicle” section.

Wheel ReplacementReplace any wheel that is bent, cracked,
or badly rusted or corroded. If wheel nuts
keep coming loose, the wheel, wheel bolts,
and wheel nuts should be replaced. If the
wheel leaks air, replace it (except some
aluminum wheels, which can sometimes
be repaired). See your dealer if any of
these conditions exist.
Your dealer will know the kind of wheel you
need.
Each new wheel should have the same
load-carrying capacity, diameter, width,
offset, and be mounted the same way as
the one it replaces.
If you need to replace any of your wheels,
wheel bolts or wheel nuts, replace them
only with new original equipment parts.
This way, you will be sure to have the right
wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts for
your vehicle.Refer to “Changing a Flat Tire” in this sec-
tion for more information.
Used Replacement Wheels
Tire Chains
If a Tire Goes FlatIt is unusual for a tire to blowout while you
are driving, especially if you maintain your
vehicle’s tires properly. If air goes out of a
tire, it is much more likely to leak out
slowly. But if you should ever have a blow-
out, here are a few tips about what to
expect and what to do:
WARNING
Using the wrong replacement wheels,
wheel bolts, or wheel nuts on your
vehicle can be dangerous. It could
affect the braking and handling of
your vehicle, make your tires lose air
and make you lose control. You
could have a collision in which you
or others could be injured. Always
use the correct wheel, wheel bolts,
and wheel nuts for replacement.
CAUTION
The wrong wheel can also cause
problems with bearing life, brake
cooling, speedometer or odometer
calibration, headlamp aim, bumper
height, vehicle ground clearance, and
tire or tire chain clearance to the
body and chassis.
WARNING
Putting a used wheel on your vehicle
is dangerous. You cannot know how
it has been used or how far it has
been driven. It could fail suddenly
and cause a crash. If you have to
replace a wheel, use a new original
equipment wheel.
WARNING
Do not use tire chains. There is not
enough clearance. Tire chains used
on a vehicle without the proper
amount of clearance can cause dam-
age to the brakes, suspension or
other vehicle parts. The area dam-
aged by the tire chains could cause
you to lose control of your vehicle
and you or others may be injured in a
crash.
Use another type of traction device
only if its manufacturer recommends
it for use on your vehicle and tire size
combination and road conditions.
Follow that manufacturer’s instruc-
tions. To help avoid damage to your
vehicle, drive slowly, readjust or
remove the device if it is contacting
your vehicle, and do not spin your
vehicle’s wheels. If you do find trac-
tion devices that will fit, install them
on the front tires.

clean water. After rinsing thoroughly, dry
with a soft clean towel. A wax may then be
applied.
The surface of these wheels is similar to
the painted surface of the vehicle. Do not
use strong soaps, chemicals, abrasive pol-
ishes, abrasive cleaners, cleaners with
acid, or abrasive cleaning brushes on them
because the surface could be damaged.
Do not use chrome polish on aluminum
wheels.Do not take the vehicle through an auto-
matic car wash that has silicone carbide
tire cleaning brushes. These brushes can
also damage the surface of these wheels.
TiresTo clean the tires, use a stiff brush with tire
cleaner.Sheet Metal DamageIf the vehicle is damaged and requires
sheet metal repair or replacement, make
sure the body repair shop applies anti-cor-
rosion material to parts repaired or
replaced to restore corrosion protection.
Original manufacturer replacement parts
will provide the corrosion protection while
maintaining the warranty.Finish DamageAny stone chips, fractures or deep
scratches in the finish should be repaired
right away. Bare metal will corrode quickly
and may develop into major repair
expense.
Minor chips and scratches can be repaired
with touch-up materials available from yourSUZUKI dealer. Larger areas of finish
damage can be corrected in your SUZUKI
dealer’s body and paint shop.
Underbody MaintenanceChemicals used for ice and snow removal
and dust control can collect on the under-
body. If these are not removed, corrosion
and rust can develop on the underbody
parts such as fuel lines, frame, floor pan,
and exhaust system even though they
have corrosion protection.
At least every spring, flush these materials
from the underbody with plain water. Clean
any areas where mud and debris can col-
lect. Dirt packed in close areas of the
frame should be loosened before being
flushed. Your dealer or an underbody car
washing system can do this for you.Chemical Paint SpottingSome weather and atmospheric conditions
can create a chemical fallout. Airborne pol-
lutants can fall upon and attack painted
surfaces on the vehicle. This damage can
take two forms: blotchy, ring-shaped dis-
colorations, and small, irregular dark spots
etched into the paint surface.
Although no defect in the paint job causes
this, SUZUKI will repair, at no charge to
the owner, the surfaces of new vehicles
damaged by this fallout condition within 12
months or 12000 miles (20000 km) of pur-
chase, whichever occurs first.
CAUTION
Using chrome polish on aluminum
wheels could damage the wheels.
The repairs would not be covered by
your warranty. Use chrome polish on
chrome wheels only.
CAUTION
If you drive your vehicle through an
automatic car wash that has silicone
carbide tire cleaning brushes, you
could damage the aluminum or
chrome-plated wheels. The repairs
would not be covered by your war-
ranty. Never drive a vehicle equipped
with aluminum or chrome-plated
wheels through an automatic car
wash that uses silicone carbide tire
cleaning brushes.
CAUTION
Using petroleum-based tire dressing
products on your vehicle may dam-
age the paint finish and/or tires.
When applying a tire dressing,
always wipe off any overspray from
all painted surfaces on your vehicle.

Maintenance ScheduleIntroductionImportant: Keep engine oil at the proper
level and change as recommended.Maintenance RequirementsYour Vehicle and the Environment
Proper vehicle maintenance not only helps
to keep your vehicle in good working condi-
tion, but also helps the environment. All
recommended maintenance is important.
Improper vehicle maintenance can even
affect the quality of the air we breathe.
Improper fluid levels or the wrong tire infla-
tion can increase the level of emissions
from your vehicle. To help protect our envi-
ronment, and to keep your vehicle in good
condition, be sure to maintain your vehicle
properly.Using the Maintenance ScheduleWe want to help you keep your vehicle in
good working condition. But we do not
know exactly how you will drive it. You may
drive very short distances only a few times
a week. Or you may drive long distances
all the time in very hot, dusty weather. You
may use your vehicle in making deliveries.
Or you may drive it to work, to do errands,
or in many other ways.
Because of all the different ways people
use their vehicles, maintenance needs
vary. You may need more frequent checks
and replacements. So please read the fol-
lowing and note how you drive. If you have
any questions on how to keep your vehicle
in good condition, see your dealer.This schedule is for vehicles that:
carry passengers and cargo within rec-
ommended limits. You will find these lim-
its on the Tire and Loading Information
label. Refer to “Loading Your Vehicle” in
“Your Driving, the Road, and Your Vehi-
cle” in the “Driving Your Vehicle” section.
are driven on reasonable road surfaces
within legal driving limits.
use the recommended fuel. Refer to
“Gasoline Octane” in “Fuel” in the “Ser-
vice and Appearance Care” section.
The services in “Scheduled Maintenance”
in this section should be performed when
indicated. Refer to “Additional Required
Services” in this section for further informa-
tion.
CAUTION
Maintenance intervals, checks,
inspections, replacement parts, and
recommended fluids and lubricants
as prescribed in this manual are nec-
essary to keep your vehicle in good
working condition. Any damage
caused by failure to follow scheduled
maintenance might not be covered by
warranty.
WARNING
Performing maintenance work on a
vehicle can be dangerous. In trying to
do some jobs, you can be seriously
injured. Do your own maintenance
work only if you have the required
know-how and the proper tools and
equipment for the job. If you have any
doubt, see your dealer to have a qual-
ified technician do the work. Refer to
“Doing Your Own Service Work” in
the “SERVICE AND APPEARANCE
CARE” section.
6-2 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
78J00-03E
Some maintenance services can be com-
plex. So, unless you are technically quali-
fied and have the necessary equipment,
you should have your dealer do these jobs.
When you go to your dealer for your ser-
vice needs, you will know that trained and
supported service technicians will perform
the work using genuine parts.
“Owner Checks and Services” in this sec-
tion tells you what should be checked,
when to check it, and what you can easily
do to help keep your vehicle in good condi-
tion.
The proper replacement parts, fluids, and
lubricants to use are listed in “Recom-
mended Fluids and Lubricants” and “Nor-
mal Maintenance Replacement Parts” in
this section. When your vehicle is serviced,
make sure these are used. All parts should
be replaced and all necessary repairs
done before you or anyone else drives the
vehicle.
Scheduled MaintenanceWhen the change engine oil light and/or
CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message
comes on, it means that service is required
for your vehicle. Have your vehicle ser-
viced as soon as possible within the next
600 miles (1000 km). It is possible that, if
you are driving under the best conditions,
the engine oil life system may not indicate
that vehicle service is necessary for over a
year. However, the engine oil and filter
must be changed at least once a year (or
10 months if operated in Canada) and at
this time the system must be reset. Your
dealer has trained service technicians who
will perform this work using genuine parts
and reset the system.
If the engine oil life system is ever reset
accidentally, you must service your vehicle
within 3000 miles (5000 km) since your last
service. Remember to reset the oil life sys-
tem whenever the oil is changed. Refer to
“Engine Oil Life System” in “Checking
Things Under the Hood” in the “Service
and Appearance Care” section for informa-
tion on the Engine Oil Life System and
resetting the system.
For ALL except CANADA
When the change engine oil light and/or
CHANGE ENGINE OIL SOON message
appears, certain services, checks, and
inspections are required. Required ser-
vices are described in the following for
“Maintenance I” and “Maintenance II”.Generally, it is recommended that your first
service be Maintenance I, your second
service be Maintenance II, and that you
alternate Maintenance I and Maintenance
II thereafter. However, in some cases,
Maintenance II may be required more
often.
Maintenance I
Use Maintenance I if the light/message
comes on within 10 months since the vehi-
cle was purchased or Maintenance II was
performed.
Maintenance II
Use Maintenance II if the previous service
performed was Maintenance I. Always use
Maintenance II whenever the light/mes-
sage comes on 10 months or more since
the last service or if the light/message has
not come on at all for one year.
For CANADA
Use For CANADA Scheduled Maintenance
if the light/message comes on or if more
than 10 months have elapsed since the
most recent maintenance service was per-
formed.
