6-1 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
78J00-03E
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.

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

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

section.
Do not use the accelerator pedal, and
be ready to turn off the engine immedi-
ately if it starts.

7-2 GENERAL INFORMATION
78J00-03E
Emission Compliance Label
(for U.S.A.)
60A412
The EPA emission compliance label is
located under the hood. It provides much
of the information needed to perform an
engine tune-up on your vehicle.
WarrantiesThe warranties covering your vehicle are
explained in a separate New Vehicle War-
ranty Information booklet given to you at
the time of sale. Please read this booklet
carefully so you can understand your rights
and responsibilities.For U.S.A.The following warranties are provided with
your vehicle:
 New Vehicle Limited Warranty
 Limited Warranty For SUZUKI Parts or
Accessories
 Emission Components Defect Warranty
 Emission Performance Warranty
On-Board Vehicle Computers
and Event Data RecordersYour vehicle, like other modern motor
vehicles, has a number of sophisti-
cated computer systems that monitor
and control several aspects of the
vehicle’s performance. Your vehicle
uses on-board vehicle computers to
monitor emission control components
to optimize fuel economy, to monitor
conditions for airbag deployment and,
if so equipped, to provide anti-lock
braking and to help the driver control
the vehicle in difficult driving situa-
tions. Some information may be stored
during regular operations to facilitate
repair of detected malfunctions; other
information is stored only in a crash
event by computer systems, such as
those commonly called event data
recorders (EDR).
In a crash event, computer systems,
such as the Airbag Sensing and Diag-
nostic Module (SDM) in your vehicle
may record information about the con-
dition of the vehicle and how it was
operated, such as data related to
engine speed, brake application, throt-
tle position, vehicle speed, safety belt
usage, airbag readiness, airbag per-
formance, and the severity of a colli-
sion. This information has been used
to improve vehicle crash performance
