To check the gear oil level, use the fol-
lowing procedure:
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface with
the parking brake applied. Then, stop
the engine.
2) Remove the oil filler and level plug.
For the manual transaxle;
3) If gear oil flows from the plug hole, the
oil level is correct. Reinstall the plug. If
gear oil does not flow from the plug
hole, add oil through the filler plug hole
until oil flows a little 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 oil filler and level plug hole
until the oil level reaches the bottom of
the filler hole, and then reinstall the
plug.

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 “MIN” line, fill it up to “MAX” line
with SAE J1704 or DOT4 brake fluid.
CAUTION
After driving the vehicle, the gear oil
temperature may be high enough to
burn you. Wait until the oil filler and
level plug are cool enough to touch
with your bare hands before inspect-
ing gear oil level.
NOTICE
When tightening the plug, apply the
following sealing compound or
equivalent to the plug threads to pre-
vent oil leakage.

The main fuse, primary fuses and some of the
individual fuses are located in the engine
compartment. If the main fuse blows, no elec-
trical component will function. If a primary fuse
blows, no electrical component in the corre-
sponding load group will function. When
replacing the main fuse, a primary fuse or an
individual fuse, use a genuine SUZUKI
replacement.To remove a fuse, use the fuse puller pro-
vided in the fuse box. The amperage of each
fuse is shown in the back of the fuse box

Open the engine hood. Disconnect the
coupler by pushing the lock release. Turn
the bulb holder counterclockwise and
remove it.
CAUTION
• Light bulbs can be hot enough to
burn your finger right after turning
off lights. 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.
• To avoid injury by sharp-edged
parts of the body, wear gloves and
a long-sleeved shirt when replacing
light bulbs.
NOTICE
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.
NOTICE
Frequent bulb replacement indicates
the need for an inspection of the elec-
trical system. This should be carried
out by your SUZUKI dealer.

EMERGENCY SERVICE
54P00-01E
Engine trouble: Overheating
The engine could overheat temporarily
under severe driving conditions. If the
engine coolant temperature gauge indi-
cates overheating during driving:
1) Turn off the air conditioner, if equipped.
2) Take the vehicle to a safe place and
park.
3) Run the engine at a normal idle speed
for a few minutes until the indicator is
within the normal, acceptable tempera-
ture range between “H” and “C”.If the temperature indication does not
come down to within the normal, accept-
able range:
1) Turn off the engine and check that the
water pump belt and pulleys are not
damaged or slipping. If any abnormality
is found, correct it.
2) Check the coolant level in the reservoir.
If it is found to be lower than “LOW”
line, check radiator, water pump, radia-
tor hoses and heater hoses for leakage.
If leakage that may cause overheating
is found, do not run the engine until
these problems have been corrected.
3) If leakage is not found, carefully add
coolant to the reservoir and then the
radiator, if necessary. (Refer to “Engine
coolant” in “INSPECTION AND MAIN-
TENANCE” section.)
NOTE:
If engine overheats and you are not sure
what to do, contact your SUZUKI dealer.

WA R N I N G
If you see or hear escaping steam,
stop the vehicle in a safe place and
immediately turn off the engine to
cool it. Do not open the hood when
steam is present. When the steam
can no longer be seen or heard, open
the hood to see if the coolant is still
boiling. If it is, you must wait until it
stops boiling before you proceed.WA R N I N G
• It is hazardous to remove the radia-
tor cap (or degassing tank cap for a
diesel engine) when the water tem-
perature is high, because scalding
fluid and steam may be blown out
under pressure. The cap should
only be taken off when the coolant
temperature has lowered.
• To help prevent personal injury,
keep hands, tools and clothing
away from the engine cooling fan
and air-conditioner fan (if
equipped). These electric fans can
automatically turn on without warn-
ing.

Corrosion prevention
It is important to take good care of your
vehicle to protect it from corrosion. Listed
below are instructions for how to maintain
your vehicle to prevent corrosion. Please
read and follow these instructions carefully.
Important information about corro-
sion
Common causes of corrosion
1) Accumulation of road salt, dirt, moisture
or chemicals in hard-to-reach areas of
the vehicle underbody or frame.
2) Chipping, scratches and any damage to
treated or painted metal surfaces
resulting from minor accidents or abra-
sion by stones and gravel.
Environmental conditions which accel-
erate corrosion
1) Road salt, dust control chemicals, sea
air or industrial pollution will all acceler-
ate the corrosion of metal.
2) High humidity will increase the rate of
corrosion particularly when the tem-
perature range is just above the freez-
ing point.
3) Moisture in certain areas of a vehicle
for an extended period of time may pro-
mote corrosion even though other body
sections may be completely dry.4) High temperatures will cause an accel-
erated rate of corrosion to parts of the
vehicle which are not well-ventilated to
permit quick drying.
This information illustrates the necessity of
keeping your vehicle (particularly the
underbody) as clean and dry as possible. It
is equally important to repair any damage
to the paint or protective coatings as soon
as possible.How to help prevent corrosion
Wash your vehicle frequently
The best way to preserve the finish on your
vehicle and to help avoid corrosion is to
keep it clean with frequent washing.
Wash your vehicle at least once during the
winter and once immediately after the win-
ter. Keep your vehicle, particularly the
underside, as clean and dry as possible.
If you frequently drive on salted roads,
your vehicle should be washed at least
once a month during the winter. If you live
near the ocean, your vehicle should be
washed at least once a month throughout
the year.
For washing instructions, refer to “Vehicle
cleaning” section.Remove foreign material deposits
Foreign material such as salts, chemicals,
road oil or tar, tree sap, bird droppings and
industrial fall-out may damage the finish of
your vehicle if it is left on painted surfaces.
Remove these types of deposits as quickly
as possible. If these deposits are difficult to
wash off, an additional cleaner may be
required. Check that any cleaner you use
is not harmful to painted surfaces and is
specifically intended for your purposes.
Follow the manufacturer’s directions when
using these special cleaners.
Repair finish damage
Carefully examine your vehicle for damage
to the painted surfaces. Should you find
any chips or scratches in the paint, touch
them up immediately to prevent corrosion
from starting. If the chips or scratches have
gone through to the bare metal, have a
qualified body shop make the repair.
Keep passenger and luggage compart-
ments clean
Moisture, dirt or mud can accumulate
under the floor mats and may cause corro-
sion. Occasionally, check under these
mats to ensure that this area is clean and
dry. More frequent checks are necessary if
the vehicle is used for off-road driving or in
wet weather.
Certain cargos such as chemicals, fertiliz-
ers, cleaners, salts, etc. are extremely cor-
rosive by nature. These products should
be transported in sealed containers. If they

APPEARANCE CARE
54P00-01E
are spilled or leaked, clean and dry the
area immediately.
Store your vehicle in a dry, well-venti-
lated area
Do not park your vehicle in a damp, poorly-
ventilated area. If you often wash your
vehicle in the garage and place it there in
wet condition, your garage may be damp.
The high humidity in the garage may
cause or accelerate corrosion. A wet vehi-
cle may corrode even in a heated garage if
the ventilation is poor.Vehicle cleaning

Cleaning interior
Vinyl upholstery
Prepare a solution of soap or mild deter-
gent mixed with warm water. Apply the
solution to the vinyl with a sponge or soft
cloth and let it soak for a few minutes to
loosen dirt.
Rub the surface with a clean, damp cloth
to remove dirt and the soap solution. If
some dirt still remains on the surface,
repeat this procedure.
Fabric upholstery
Remove loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
Using a mild soap solution, rub stained
areas with a clean damp cloth. To remove
soap, rub the areas again with a cloth
dampened with water. Repeat this until the
stain is removed, or use a commercial fab-
ric cleaner for tougher stains. If you use a
fabric cleaner, carefully follow the manu-
facturer’s instructions and precautions.
WA R N I N G
Do not apply additional undercoating
or rust preventive coating on or
around exhaust system components
such as the catalytic converter and
exhaust pipes. A fire could be started
if the undercoating substance
becomes overheated.
WA R N I N G
When cleaning the interior or exterior
of the vehicle, do not use flammable
solvents such as lacquer thinners,
gasoline and benzene. Also, do not
use cleaning materials such as
bleaches and strong household
detergents. The materials could
cause personal injury or damage to
the vehicle.
