This procedure is for emergency use only.
If repeated use of this procedure is neces-
sary, or the procedure does not work as
described, take the vehicle to your dealer
for repair.
Using the 2WD/i-AWD
(intelligent All Wheel Drive)
Switch (if equipped)
57L31016
This i-AWD system enables you to select
the driving mode according to driving con-
ditions by operating the 2WD/i-AWD
switch.Driving Modes2WD
If you drive on a dry, paved road, select
this mode to save fuel.
In this mode, the engine torque transmitted
to the rear wheels is limited to the mini-
mum. (As a result, the vehicle runs in a
quasi-front-wheel-drive condition.)i-AWD
This mode is for all normal driving.
In almost all road surface conditions, the
system keeps distributing engine torque to
the rear wheels in the most suitable pro-
portion for varying conditions under auto-
matic control.
In the i-AWD mode, the i-AWD controller
monitors the driver’s vehicle control opera-
tions and conditions of the vehicle. Based
on the sensed conditions, the controller
electronically controls the power coupling
so that optimum torque is distributed to the
rear wheels. This function improves driving
stability and driving performance on rough
roads and stabilizes driving performance
even on snow-covered up-hill roads or the
like.
During constant speed driving, torque dis-
tribution to the rear wheels is reduced
almost to the front-wheel-drive condition,
thus improving fuel consumption.

5) Reinstall the drain plug and gasket.
Tighten the plug with a wrench to the
specified torque.
6) Reinstall the engine under cover.
Replace the Oil Filter
60A198
1) Remove the engine under cover.
2) Using an oil filter wrench, turn the oil fil-
ter counterclockwise and remove it.
3) Using a clean rag, wipe off the mount-
ing surface on the engine where the
new filter will be seated.
4) Smear a little engine oil around the rub-
ber gasket of the new oil filter.
5) Screw on the new filter by hand until the
filter gasket contacts the mounting sur-
face.

(1) Oil filter
(2) 3/4 turn
6) Tighten the filter 3/4 turn from the point
of contact with the mounting surface (or
to the specified torque) using an oil filter
wrench.
7) Reinstall the engine under cover.
WARNING
New and used oil and solvent can be
hazardous. Children and pets may be
harmed by swallowing new or used
oil or solvent. Repeated, prolonged
contact with used engine oil may
cause [skin] cancer. Brief contact
with used oil or solvent may irritate
skin.
 Keep new and used oil and solvent
away from children and pets.
 Wear a long-sleeve shirt and water-
proof gloves.
 Wash with soap if oil or solvent
contacts your skin.
Tightening torque specification
35 Nm (25.3 lb-ft, 3.5 kg-m)
CAUTION
To tighten the oil filter properly, it is
important to accurately identify the
position at which the filter gasket
first contacts the mounting surface.EXAMPLE
Tightening torque specification
14 Nm (10.0 lb-ft, 1.4 kg-m)
CAUTION
To prevent oil leakage, make sure
that the oil filter is tight, but do not
overtighten it.

ing the release lever,
3) Remove the bolt, and
4) Pull the ignition coil out.

EXAMPLE
CAUTION
 When servicing the iridium/plati-
num spark plugs (slender center
electrode type plugs), do not touch
the center electrode, as it is easy to
damage.
 When installing the spark plugs,
screw them in with your fingers to
avoid stripping the threads. Tighten
with a torque wrench to 25 Nm (2.5
kg-m, 18.0 lb-ft). Do not allow con-
taminants to enter the engine
through the spark plug holes when
the plugs are removed.
 Never use spark plugs with the
wrong thread size.
CAUTION
When replacing spark plugs, you
should use the brand and type speci-
fied for your vehicle. For the speci-
fied plugs, refer to the
“SPECIFICATIONS” section at the
end of this book. If you wish to use a
brand of spark plug other than the
specified plugs, consult your SUZUKI
dealer.

Tightening torque
Gear Oil Level CheckThe manual transaxle, transfer gears (i-
AWD CVT) and rear differential (i-AWD)
are lubricated with gear oil. To check the
gear oil level in any of the above locations,
use the following procedure:
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface. Set
parking brake and stop the engine.
2) Remove the oil filler plug (1).
For the manual transaxle;
3) If gear oil flow from the plug hole, the oil
level is correct. Reinstall the plug.
If gear oil do not flow from the plug
hole, add oil through the filler plug hole
until a little oil flow from the plug hole.
For the transfer and rear differential;
3) Check the inside of the hole with your
finger. If the oil level comes up to the
bottom of the plug hole, the oil level is
correct. If so, reinstall the plug.
4) If the oil level is low, add gear oil
through the filler plug hole (1) until the
oil level reaches the bottom of the filler
hole.Gear Oil ReplacementSince special procedures, materials and
tools are required, it is recommended that
you trust this job to your authorized
SUZUKI dealer.
Clutch Pedal
57L71010
Check the clutch pedal for smooth opera-
tion 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 DOT3 brake fluid. Oil Filler Plug

Changing WheelsTo change a wheel, use the following pro-
cedure:
1) Remove the jack, tools and spare wheel
from the vehicle.
2) Loosen, but do not remove the wheel
nuts.
3) Jack up the vehicle (follow the jacking
instructions in this section).
4) Remove the wheel nuts and wheel.
5) Before installing the new wheel, clean
any mud or dirt off from the surface of
the nuts wheel and hub with a clean
cloth. Clean the hub carefully; it may be
hot from driving.
6) Install the new wheel and replace the
wheel nuts with their cone shaped end
facing the wheel. Tighten each nut
snugly by hand until the wheel is
securely seated on the hub.

7) Lower the jack and fully tighten the nuts
in a crisscross fashion with a wrench as
shown in the illustration.
Full Wheel Cover (if equipped)

(1) or (2) Flat end tool
Your vehicle includes two tools, a wheel
brace and a jack crank, one of which has a
flat end.
Use the tool with the flat end to remove the
full wheel cap, as shown above.
54G117
When installing the cover, make sure that it
is positioned so that it does not cover or
foul the air valve.
WARNING
 Be sure to shift into “P” (Park) in
CVT, or shift into “R” (Reverse) in
manual transaxle when you jack up
the vehicle.
 Never jack up the vehicle with the
transaxle in “N” (Neutral). Other-
wise, unstable jack may cause an
accident.
Wheel tightening torque
140 Nm (103.3 lb-ft, 14.3 kg-m)
WARNING
Use genuine wheel nuts and tighten
them to the specified torque as soon
as possible after changing wheels.
Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly
tightened wheel nuts may come
loose or fall off, which can result in
an accident. If you do not have a
torque wrench, have the wheel nut
torque checked by an authorized
SUZUKI dealer.
