Brake Fluid
64J154
Check the brake fluid level by looking at
the reservoir in the engine compartment.
Check that the fluid level is between the "MAX" and "MIN" lines. If the brake fluid level is near the "MIN" line, fill it up to the "MAX" line with SAE J1703 or DOT3 brake
fluid.
A WARNING
Failure to follow the guidelines below can result in personal injury or seri­
ous damage to the brake system. . • If the brake fluid in the reservoir drops below a certain level, the
brake warning light on the instru­
ment panel will come on (the
engine must be running with the
parking brake fully disengaged).
Should the light come on, immedi­
ately ask your SUZUKI dealer to inspect the brake system. . • A rapid fluid loss indicates a leak In the brake system which should be
inspected by your SUZUKI dealer
immediately.
• Brake fluid can harm your eyes and
damage painted surfaces. Use cau­
tion when refilling the reservoir. • Do not use any fluid other than SAE
J1703 or DOT3 brake fluid. Do not use reclaimed fluid or fluid that has
been stored in old or open contain­
ers. It is essential that foreign parti­cles and other liquids are kept out of the brake fluid reservoir.

Parking Brake
EXAMPLE
Ratchet tooth specification "b": 5th -7th Lever pull force (1): 200 N (20 kg, 44 Ibs)
54G109
Check the parking brake for proper adjust­
ment by counting the number of clicks made by the ratchet teeth as you slowly pull up on the parking brake lever to the
point of full engagement. The parking brake lever should stop between the speci­
fied ratchet teeth and the rear wheels
should be securely locked. If the parking brake is not properly adjusted or the
brakes drag after the lever has been fully released, have the parking brake inspected
and/or adjusted by your SUZUKI dealer.

Steering
EXAMPLE
Steering wheel play "c": 0-30 mm (0.0 -1.2 in.)
\! "c"
{)
7BKOBO
Check the play of the steering wheel by gently turning it from left to right and mea­
suring the distance that it moves before
you feel slight resistance. The play should be between the specified values.
Check that the steering wheel turns easily and smoothly without rattling by turning it all the way to the right and to the left while driving very slowly in an open area. If the
amount of free play is outside the specifi­
cation or you find anything else to be wrong, an inspection must be performed by your SUZUKI dealer.

level is between the (1) and (2) lines. If the fluid level is near the (2) line, fill it up to the (1) line with an auto­
matic transmission fluid eauivalent to DEXRON®-II, DEXRON@-IIE or DEXRON®-III. Do not overfill.
