Headlight Aiming
Since special procedures are required, we
recommend you take your vehicle to your SUZUKI dealer for headlight alignment.

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.
