NOTICE
Be sure to use new plug with new gas­ket to avoid loose·ness of the plug and oil leakage.
Gear oil change
Since special procedures, materials and tools are required, ask a SUZUKI dealer for this job.

Check the brake fluid level by looking at the reservoir in the engine compartment. Check that the fiuid level is between "MAX" and "MIN" lines.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Bulb replacement
_A 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 elec­trical system. This should be carried out by a SUZUKI dealer.

2) Push the retaining spring (5) forward and unhook it. Then remove the bulb. Install a new bulb in the reverse order of removal.

Air conditioning system
If you do not use the air conditioner for a long period, such as during winter, it may not give the best performance when you start using it again. To help maintain opti­mum performance and durability of your air conditioner, it needs to be run periodically. Operate the air conditioner at least once a month for one minute with the engine idling. This circulates the refrigerant and oil and helps protect the internal components.
Air conditioner filter replacement
Since special procedures are required, ask a SUZUKI dealer for this job.

1) To approach the air conditioner filter, remove the glove box by pressing both sides of the glove box inward and pull­ing it out.

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.

When washing the vehicle, park it in the place where direct sunlight does not fall on it as much as possible and follow the instructions below: 1) Flush the underside of body and wheel housings with pressurized water to remove mud and debris. Use plenty of water.
NOTICE
When washing the vehicle: • Avoid directing steam or hot water of more than 80°C (176°F) on plas­tic parts. To avoid damaging engine compo­nents, do not use pressurized water in the engine compartment.

2) Rinse the body to loosen the dirt. Remove dirt and mud from the body exterior with running water. You may use a soft sponge or brush. Do not use hard materials which can scratch the . paint or plastic. Remember that the headlight covers or lenses are made of plastic in many cases.
NOTICE
To avoid damage to the paint or plas­tic surface, do not wipe the dirt off without ample water. Follow the above procedure.
3) Wash the entire exterior with a mild detergent or car wash soap using a sponge or soft cloth. The sponge or cloth should be frequently soaked in the soap solution.
NOTICE
When using a commercial car wash product, observe the cautions speci­fied by the manufacturer. Never use strong household detergents or soaps.
4) Once the dirt has been completely removed, rinse off the detergent with running water. 5) Wipe off the vehicle body with a wet chamois or cloth and allow it to dry in the shade.
6) Check carefully for damage to painted surfaces. If there is any damage, touch up the damage following the procedure below: 1. Clean all damaged spots and allow them to dry. 2. Stir the paint and touch up the dam­aged spots lightly using a small brush. 3. Allow the paint to dry completely.
Washing by an automatic car wash
NOTICE
If you use an automatic car wash, check that your vehicle's body parts, such as spoilers, cannot be dam­aged. If you are in doubt, consult the car wash operator for advice.
