Refill with Oil and Check for Leaks 1) Pour oil through the filler hole and install the filler cap. For the approximate capacity of the oil, refer to the "Capacities" item in the "SPECIFICATIONS" section. 2) Start the engine and look carefully for leaks at the oil filter and drain plug. Run
the engine at various speeds for at least 5 minutes. 3) Stop the engine and wait about 5 min­
utes. Check the oil level again and add oil if necessary. Check for leaks again.
CAUTION
• When replacing the oil filter, it is recommended that you use a genu­
ine SUZUKI replacement filter. If you use an aftermarket filter, make
sure it is of equivalent quality and follow the manufacturer's instruc­
tions.
• Oil leaks from around the oil filter or drain plug indicate incorrect installation or gasket damage. If you find any leaks or are not sure
that the filter has been properly tightened, have the vehicle inspected by your SUZUKI dealer.

.A WARNING
It is hazardous to remove the degas­
sing tank cap for Diesel engine when
the water temperature is high,
because scalding fluid and steam may be blown out under pressure.
Wait until the coolant temperature
has lowered before removing the cap.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine Selection of Coolant CAUTION
SUZUKI LLC: Super (Blue) coolant;
SUZUKI LLC: Super (Blue) coolant is already diluted to the proper percent­
age. Do not dilute with distilled water additionally. Doing so may result in the possibility of freezing coolant and/or overheating.
To maintain optimum performance and durability of your engine, use SUZUKI Genuine Coolant or equivalent.
NOTE: If you replace the engine coolant other
than the SUZUKIl:.LC: Super (Blue), follow
.the schedule of SUZUKI LLC: Standard
(Green). To see the detail of the mainte­nance schedule, refer to "Periodic Mainte­nance Schedule" in this section.
This type of coolant is best for your cooling system as it: • Helps maintain proper engine tempera­ture. • Gives proper protection against freezing
and boiling.
• Gives proper protection against corro-
sion and rust. Failure to use the proper coolant can dam­age your cooling system. Your authorized SUZUKI dealer can help you select the
proper coolant.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging your cooling sys­tem: • Always use a high quality ethylene
glycol base non-silicate type cool­ant diluted with distilled water at the correct mixture concentration. • Make sure that the proper mix is 50/ 50 coolant to distilled water and in no case higher than 70/30. Concen­trations greater than 70/30 coolant to distilled water will cause over­heating conditions. • Do not use straight coolant nor plain water (except SUZUKI LLC: Super (Blue».
• Do not add extra inhibitors or addi­tives. They may not be compatible with your cooling system. • Do not mix different types of base coolants. Doing so may result in accelerated seal wear and/or the possibility of severe overheating and extensive engine/automatic
transmission damage.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Coolant Level
Check Check the coolant level at the reservoir
tank, not at the radiator. With the engine cool, the coolant level should be between
the "FULL (MAXI)" and "LOW (MINI)" marks.
Adding Coolant
(For Gasoline Engine Model) If the coolant level is below the "LOW" mark, more coolant should be added. Remove the reservoir tank cap and add coolant until the reservoir tank level reaches the "FULt..:' mark. Never fill the res­ervoir tank above the "FULt..:' mark.
(For
Diesel Engine Model)
A. WARNING
It is hazardous to remove the degas­sing tank cap for Diesel engine when the water temperature is high,
because scalding fluid and steam may be blown out under pressure. Wait· until the coolant temperature has lowered before removing the cap.
If the coolant level is below the "MINI" mark, more coolant should be added. When the engine is cool, remove the degassing tank cap by turning it antic lock­wise slowly to release any pressure. And add coolant until the degassing tank level reaches the "MAXI" mark. Never fill the
degassing tank above the "MAXI" mark.

3) Remove the engine under cover. 4) Loosen the drain plug attached to the lower part of the radiator and drain the coolant into a suitable container.
5) Reinstall the reservoir and fill it with coolant to the "FULL.:' line. 6) Tighten the drain plug on the radiator. 7) Reinstall the engine under cover. 8) Fill the radiator with coolant and install
the radiator cap. 9) After filling, let the engine idle for about 2-3 minutes to get rid of air in the cool­ing system.
1 O)Stop the engine. 11 )Check the coolant level in the radiator
again. If the level has gone down, add
more coolant.
CAUTION
The coolant must be replaced with
the vehicle on level ground.
(For
Diesel Engine Model) Since special procedures are required, we recommend you take your vehicle to your SUZUKI dealer for coolant replacement.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Air Cleaner
EXAMPLE
66J167
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there
will be greater intake resistance, resulting in decreased power output and increased fuel consumption.
Check and
clean periodically according to
the following procedure:
1) Take off the air cleaner case cover.
Remove the element from the air cleaner case cover. 2) This air cleaner element is of dry type.
Remember that it needs cleaning
according to the following method.
3) Blow off dust on cleaner element by
compressed air from inside the ele­ment, or replace the element as neces­sary.
