2018 SUZUKI JIMNY overheating

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 "Recommended fuel / lubricants and capacities (approx.)" in "SPECIFI­CATIONS" 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 min­utes. Check the oil level again and add oil if necessary. Check for leakage again.
NOTICE
When replacing the oil filter, it is recommended that you use a genu­ine SUZUKI replacement filter. If you use an aftermarket filter, check that it is of equivalent quality and follow the manufacturer's instruc­tions. • 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 vehi­cle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.
Engine coolant
Selection of coolant
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 freez­ing and/or overheating coolant.
To maintain optimum performance and durability of your engine, use SUZUKI gen­uine coolant or equivalent.
NOTE: If you use the engine coolant other than the SUZUKI LLC: Super (Blue) for replace­ment, follow the schedule of SUZUKI LLC: Standard (Green). To see the detail of the maintenance schedule, refer to "Periodic 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 freez­ing and boiling. It gives proper protection against corro­sion and rust.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Failure to use the proper coolant can dam­age your cooling system. Your SUZUKI dealer can help you select the proper cool­ant.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging your cooling sys­tem: Always use a high quality ethylene glycol base non-silicate type cool­ant 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. Concentra­tions greater than 70/30 coolant to distilled water will cause overheat­ing conditions. Do not use straight coolant nor plain water (except "SUZUKI LLC: Super {Blue)"). . • Do not add extra inhibitors or addi­tives. 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/automatic transmission damage.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
NOTE: SUZUKI highly recommends the use of ECSTAR brand coolant. ECSTAR has been specially formulated for your SUZUKI product and contributes to the desired vehicle performance and ideal driving experience.
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
,A WARNING
Swallowing engine coolant can cause severe injury or death. Inhaling cool­ant mist or vapors or getting coolant in your eyes could result in severe injury. • Do not drink antifreeze or coolant solution. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Immediately con­tact a poison control center or a physician. • Avoid inhaling coolant mist or hot vapors. If inhaled, remove to a fresh air area. (Continued)

,A WARNING
(Continued) • If coolant gets in the eyes, flush with water and seek medical atten­tion. Wash thoroughly after handling coolant. Keep engine coolant out of the reach of children and pets.
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 freez­ing and/or overheating coolant.
NOTICE
SUZUKI LLC: Standard (Green) cool­ant; • The mixture you use should con­tain 50% concentration of anti­freeze. If the lowest ambient temperature in your area is expected lo be -35°C (-31'F) or below, use higher con­centrations up to 60% following the instructions on the antifreeze con­tainer.

If the coolant level is below "LOW" mark, coolant should be added. While the engine is cool, remove the reservoir tank cap and add coolant until the reservoir tank level reaches "FULL" mark. Never fill the reser­voir tank above "FULL" mark.
NOTICE
When putting the cap on the reser­voir tank, line up the mark on the cap and the mark on the tank. Failure to follow this can result in coolant leak­age.
Coolant replacement
Since special procedures are required, ask a SUZUKI dealer for this job.

Engine trouble: Starter does
not operate
1) Try turning the ignition switch to "START" position 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 discharged or the battery terminal contact is poor. Recharge the lead-acid battery or correct battery terminal con­tact as necessary. 2) If the headlights remain bright, check the fuses. If the reason for failure of the starter is not obvious, there may be a major electrical problem. Have the vehi­cle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.
Engine trouble: Does not start
Make sure that your vehicle has enough · fuel and battery. If the engine does not start under very cold condition, press the accelerator pedal all the way to the fioor and hold it while crank­ing the engine. Refer to "Starting engine" in operating your vehicle section. If the engine still does not start have your vehicle inspected at a SUZUKI dealer. Do not operate the starter motor for more than 12 seconds.
EMERGENCY SERVICE
Engine trouble: Overheating
The engine could overheat temporarily under severe driving conditions. If the high engine coolant temperature warning light comes on as overheating or the engine coolant temperature gauge indicates over­heating during driving:
1) Turn off the air conditioner. 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 high engine coolant temperature warning light goes off or the indicator is within the normal, acceptable temperature range between "H" and "C".
A WARNING
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.
7-10

EMERGENCY SERVICE
If the high engine coolant temperature warning light does not go off or the tem­perature indication does not come down to within the normal, acceptable 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, radia­tor 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 MAIN­TENANCE" section.)
NOTE: If engine overheats and you are not sure what to do, contact a SUZUKI dealer.

A WARNING
• It is hazardous to remove the radia­tor cap when the water temperature 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. These elec­tric fans can automatically turn on without warning.
