Clutch pedalCable control clutch
54G274
Clutch pedal play “d”:
10 – 15 mm (0.4 – 0.6 in.)
Measure the clutch pedal play by moving
the clutch pedal with your hand and mea-
suring the distance it moves until you feel
slight resistance. The play in the clutch
pedal should be between the specified val-
ues. If the play is more or less than the
above, or clutch dragging is felt with the
pedal fully depressed, have the clutch
inspected by your SUZUKI dealer.
BrakesBrake fluid
75RM095
Check the brake fluid level by looking at
the reservoir in the engine compartment.
Check that the fluid level is between “MAX”
and “MIN” lines.
EXAMPLE
NOTICE
If your brake fluid level is near the
“MIN” line, there is a possibility of
brake pad and/or shoe wear and brake
fluid leakage.
Consult with your authorized SUZUKI
dealer regarding this possibility
before filling the reservoir.
WA R N I N G
Failure to follow the guidelines below
can result in personal injury or seri-
ous damage to the brake system.
• If the brake fluid in the reservoir drops below a certain level, the
brake warning light on the instru-
ment cluster will come on (the
engine must be running with the
parking brake fully disengaged).
Should the light come on, immedi-
ately ask your SUZUKI dealer to
inspect the brake system.
• A rapid fluid loss indicates leakage
in the brake system which should
be inspected by your SUZUKI
dealer immediately.
• Do not use any fluid other than SAE J1703 or DOT3 brake fluid. Do not
use reclaimed fluid or fluid that has
been stored in old or open contain-
ers. It is essential that foreign parti-
cles and other liquids are kept out
of the brake fluid reservoir.
CAUTION
Brake fluid can harm your eyes and
damage painted surfaces. Be careful
when refilling the reservoir.

EMERGENCY SERVICE
75RM4-01E
Using compressor to inflate a tire1) Place the vehicle on level, hard ground.
Set the parking brake firmly and shift
into “P” (Park) if your vehicle has a
CVT, or shift into “R” (Reverse) if your
vehicle has a manual transaxle or Auto
Gear Shift.
2) Take out the compressor.
3) Unscrew the valve cap from the tire valve.
4) Connect the air ho se of the compressor
to the tire valve.
5) Connect the power plug of the com- pressor to the accessory socket. For a
manual transaxle or an Auto Gear Shift
vehicle, shift from “R” (Reverse) into “N”
(Neutral). Start the engine. Switch on
the compressor. Inflate the tire to the
required air pressure.
Jump-starting instructions
1) Use only a 12-volt lead-acid battery to
jump-start your vehicle. Position the
good 12-volt lead-acid battery close to
your vehicle so that the jump leads will
reach both batteries. When using a bat-
tery installed on another vehicle, check
that two vehicles do not touch each
other. Set the parking brakes fully on
both vehicles.
2) Turn off all vehicle accessories, except those necessary for safety reasons (for
example, headlights or hazard lights).
NOTICE
Do not operate the compressor for
longer than 10 minutes. It can cause
overheating of the compressor.
WA R N I N G
• Never attempt to jump-start your
vehicle if the lead-acid battery
appears to be frozen. Batteries in
this condition may explode.
• When making jump lead connec- tions, check that your hands and
the jump leads remain clear from
pulleys, belts or fans.
• Lead-acid batteries produce flam-
mable hydrogen gas. Keep flames
and sparks away from the battery
or an explosion may occur. Never
smoke when working near the bat-
tery.
• If the booster ba ttery you use for
jump-starting is installed in another
vehicle, check that the two vehicles
are not touching each other.
• If your lead-acid battery discharges repeatedly, for no apparent reason,
have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized SUZUKI dealer.
• To avoid harm to yourself or dam- age to your vehicle or battery, fol-
low the jump-starting instructions
below.
If you are in doubt, call for qualified
road service.
NOTICE
Your vehicle should not be started by
pushing or towing. This starting
method could result in permanent
damage to the catalytic converter.
Use jump leads to start a vehicle with
a weak or flat battery.

8-13EMERGENCY SERVICE
75RM4-01E
Engine trouble: Starter does not operate1) Try turning the ignition switch to“START” position or try pressing the
engine switch to change the ignition
mode to START with the headlights
turned on to determine the lead-acid
battery condition. If the headlights go
excessively dim or go off, it usually
means that either the lead-acid battery
is flat or the battery terminal contact is
poor. Recharge the lead-acid battery or
correct battery terminal contact as nec-
essary.
2) If the headlights remain bright, check the fuses. If the reas on for failure of the
starter is not obvious, there may be a
major electrical problem. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by your authorized
SUZUKI dealer.
Engine trouble: Flooded engine(Vehicle without keyless push start sys-
tem)
If the engine is flooded with gasoline, it
may be hard to start. If this happens, press
the accelerator pedal all the way to the
floor and hold it there while cranking the
engine.
• Do not operate the starter motor for more than 12 seconds.
(Vehicle with keyless push start system)
If the engine is flooded with gasoline, it
may be hard to start. If this happens, press
the accelerator pedal all the way to the
floor and hold it there while cranking the
engine.
• Do not operate the starter motor for more than 12 seconds.
NOTE:
If the engine refuses to start, the starter
motor automatically stops after a certain
period of time. After the starter motor has
automatically stopped or if there is any-
thing abnormal in the engine starting sys-
tem, the starter motor runs only while the
engine switch is held pressed.
Engine trouble: OverheatingThe engine could overheat temporarily
under severe driving conditions. If the high
engine coolant temperature warning light
comes on as overheating during driving:
1) Turn off the air conditioner, if equipped.
2) Take the vehicle to a safe place and park.
3) Let the engine run at the normal idle speed for a few minutes until the high
engine coolant temperature warning
light goes off.
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.

8-14
EMERGENCY SERVICE
75RM4-01E
If the high engine coolant temperature
warning light does not go off:
1) Turn off the engine and check that thewater 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 the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section.)
NOTE:
If engine overheats and you are not sure
what to do, contact your SUZUKI dealer.
79J007
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.
