INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

NOTE:
*1:Clean more frequently if the air flow from the air conditioner decreases.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the California Air Resources Board has determined that the failure to perform recom-
mended maintenance items enclosed with a rectangle will not nullify the emission warranty or limit recall liability prior to the completion of
the vehicle’s useful life. SUZUKI, however, urges that all recommended maintenance services be performed at the indicated intervals
and the maintenance recorded.

Changing engine oil and filter
Drain the engine oil while the engine is still
warm.
61MM0B061
1) Remove the bolts and screws, and then
remove the engine undercover.
56KN054
2) Remove the oil filler cap.
3) Place a drain pan under the drain plug.
4) Using a wrench, remove the drain plug
and drain the engine oil.

Tightening torque for drain plug
Gasoline engine :
35 Nm (3.6 kg-m, 25.8 lb-ft)
Diesel engine :
20 Nm (2.0 kg-m, 14.8 lb-ft)
EXAMPLE
CAUTION
The engine oil temperature may be
high enough to burn your fingers
when the drain plug is loosened. Wait
until the drain plug is cool enough to
touch with your bare hands.
EXAMPLE

WA R N I N G
Engine oil can be hazardous. Chil-
dren and pets may be harmed by
swallowing new or used oil. Keep
new and used oil and used oil filters
away from children and pets.
Repeated, prolonged contact with
used engine oil may cause skin can-
cer.
Brief contact with used oil may irri-
tate skin.

Refill with oil and oil leakage check
1) Pour oil through the filler hole and
install the filler cap.
For the approximate capacity of the oil,
refer to “Capacities” in “SPECIFICA-
TIONS” section.
2) Start the engine and carefully check the
oil filter and the drain plug for leakage.
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 leakage
again.
Engine coolant
Selection of coolant
To maintain optimum performance and
durability of your engine, use SUZUKI gen-
uine coolant or equivalent.
NOTE:
If you replace the engine coolant with cool-
ant other than “SUZUKI LLC: Super
(Blue)”, follow the schedule of “SUZUKI
LLC: Standard (Green)”. To see the detail
of the maintenance schedule, refer to
“Maintenance schedule” in this section.
This type of coolant is the best for cooling
system for the following reasons:
• The coolant helps maintain proper
engine temperature.
• It gives proper protection against freez-
ing and boiling.
• It gives proper protection against corro-
sion and rust.
Failure to use the proper coolant can dam-
age your cooling system. Your authorizedSUZUKI dealer can help you select the
proper coolant.
NOTICE
• When replacing the oil filter, it is
recommended that you use a genu-
ine SUZUKI replacement filter. If
you use an aftermarket filter, check
that it is of equivalent quality and
follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.
• Oil leakage from the periphery of
the oil filter or drain plug indicate
incorrect installation or gasket
damage. If you find any leakage or
are not sure that the filter has been
properly tightened, have the vehi-
cle inspected by your SUZUKI
dealer.
NOTICE
“SUZUKI LLC: Super (Blue) coolant”;
This coolant is already diluted to the
proper percentage. Do not dilute with
distilled water additionally. Doing so
may result in the possibility of freez-
ing and/or overheating coolant.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging your cooling sys-
tem:
• Always use a high quality ethylene
glycol base non-silicate type cool-
ant diluted with distilled water at
the correct mixture concentration.
• Check that the proper mix is 50/50
coolant to distilled water and in no
case higher than 70/30. Concentra-
tions greater than 70/30 coolant to
distilled water will cause overheat-
ing conditions.
• Do not use straight coolant nor
plain water (except “SUZUKI LLC:
Super (Blue)”).
• Do not add extra inhibitors or addi-
tives. 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 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
“FULL” and “LOW” marks.
Adding coolant
(For gasoline engine model)
61MM2A001
If the coolant level is below “LOW” mark,
more coolant should be added. Remove
the reservoir tank cap and add coolant until
the reservoir tank level reaches “FULL”
mark. Never fill the reservoir tank above
“FULL” mark.
(For diesel engine model)

WA R N I N G
Engine coolant is harmful or fatal if
swallowed or inhaled. Do not drink
antifreeze or coolant solution. If swal-
lowed, do not induce vomiting. Imme-
diately contact a poison control
center or a physician. Avoid inhaling
mist or hot vapors; if inhaled, exhale
and move to where there is fresh air.
If coolant gets in eyes, flush eyes
with water and seek medical atten-
tion. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Solution can be poisonous to ani-
mals. Keep out of the reach of chil-
dren and animals.
NOTICE

distilled water additionally. Doing so
may result in the possibility of freez-
ing and/or overheating coolant.
NOTICE
“SUZUKI LLC: Standard (Green) cool-
ant”;
• The mixture you use should con-
tain 50% concentration of anti-
freeze.
• If the lowest ambient temperature
in your area is expected to be –35°C
(–31°F) or below, use higher con-
centrations up to 60% following the
instructions on the antifreeze con-
tainer.

NOTICE
When putting the cap on the reser-
voir tank, line up the mark on the cap
and the mark on the tank. Failure to
follow this can result in coolant leak-
age.
