Check the clutch pedal for smooth opera­tion and clutch fluid level from time to time. If clutch dragging is felt with the pedal fully depressed, have the clutch inspected by
your SUZUKI dealer. If the clutch fluid level is near the "MIN" line, fill it up to the "MAX"
line with SAE J1703 or DOT-3 brake fluid.
Automatic Transmission (AT)
Fluid
Specified Fluid Use an automatic transmission fluid
SUZUKI ATF 3317 or Mobil ATF 3309.
Fluid Level Check
CAUTION
Driving with too much or too little
fluid can damage the transmission.
You must check the fluid level with the
automatic transmission fluid at normal operating temperature.
To check the fluid level: 1) To warm up the transmission fluid, drive
the vehicle or idle the engine until the
temperature gauge indicates normal operating temperature. 2) Then drive for ten more minutes.
CAUTION
Be sure to use the specified auto­matic transmission fluid. Using auto­matic transmission fluid other than SUZUKI ATF 3317 or Mobil ATF 3309 may damage the automatic transmis­sion of your vehicle.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine NOTE: Do not check the fluid level if you have just driven the vehicle for a long time at high
speed, if you have driven in city traffic in hot weather, or if the vehicle has been pull­
ing a trailer. Wait until the fluid cools down
(about
30 minutes), or the fluid level indica­
tion will not be correct.
3} Park your vehicle on level ground. 4} Apply the parking brake and then start
the engine in "P" (Park). Let it idle for two minutes and keep it running during
the fluid level check. . 5} With your foot on the brake pedal, move the gearshift lever through each range,
pausing for about three seconds in each range. Then move it back to the "P" (Park) position.
A. WARNING
Be sure to depress the brake pedal
when moving the gearshift lever, or the vehicle can move suddenly.

A WARNING
If the main fuse or a primary fuse
blows, be sure to have your vehicle inspected by an authorized SUZUKI
dealer. Always use a genuine SUZUKI replacement. Never use a substitute
such as a wire even for a temporary
repair, or extensive electrical damage
and a fire can result.

A WARNING
Always be sure to replace a blown fuse with a fuse of the correct amper­
age. Never use a substitute such as
aluminum foil or wire to replace a bloWn fuse. If you replace a fuse and
the new one blows in a short period of time, you may have a major electri­cal problem. Have your vehicle
inspected immediately by your
SUZUKI dealer.
NOTE:
Make sure that the fuse box always carries
spare fuses.

Head Light Washer Fluid
Check that there is washer fluid in the tank. Refill it if necessary.
CAUTION
• In winter season, be sure to remove snow or ice on the nozzle holder at
the front bumper before operating
head light washer. • To avoid the frozen damage to the nozzle of the head light washer, be sure to use the specific washer fluid.
Bulb Replacement
A WARNING
• Light bulbs can be hot enough to burn your finger right after being
turned off. This is true especially for halogen headlight bulbs.
Replace the bulbs after they
become cool enough. • The headlight bulbs are filled with pressurized halogen gas. They can
burst and injure you if they are hit or dropped. Handle them carefully.
CAUTION
The oils from your skin may cause a halogen bulb to overheat and burst when the lights are on. Grasp a new bulb with a clean cloth.
CAUTION
Frequent replacement of a bulb indi­cates the need for an inspection of the electrical system. This should be
carried out by your SUZUKI dealer.

Check that there is washer fluid in the tank by looking at the washer fluid level gauge which is attached to the cap of the washer
D
fluid tank. If the fluid level is near empty, refill it.
Use a good quality windshield washer
fluid, diluted with water as necessary.
A WARNING
Do not use "antifreeze" solution in the windshield washer reservoir. This can severely impair visibility when
sprayed on the windshield, and can also damage your vehicle's paint.
CAUTION
Damage may result if the washer
motor is operated with no fluid in the
washer tank.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Air Conditioning System
If you do not use the air conditioner for a long period, such as during winter, it may
not give the best performance when you start using it again. To help maintain opti­
mum performance and durability of your air
conditioner, it needs to be run periodically .. Operate the air conditioner at least once a
month for one minute with the engine
idling. This circulates the refrigerant and oil and helps protect the internal components.
