Take extreme care when working on
your vehicle to prevent accidental
injury. Carefully observe the follow-
ing precautions:
• To prevent damage or unintended
activation of the air bag system or
seat belt pretensioner system, check
that the battery is disconnected and
the ignition switch has been in
“LOCK” position or the ignition
mode has been “LOCK” (OFF) for at
least 90 seconds before performing
any electrical service work on your
SUZUKI vehicle. Do not touch air
bag system components, seat belt
pretensioner system components or
wires.
The wires are wrapped with yellow
tape or yellow tubing, and the cou-
plers are yellow for easy identifica-
tion.
• Do not leave the engine running in
garages or other confined areas.

• When the engine is running, keep
hands, clothing, tools, and other
objects away from the fan and drive
belt. Even though the fan may not
be moving, it can automatically
turn on without warning.
• When it is necessary to perform
service work with the engine run-
ning, check that the parking brake
is set fully and the transaxle is in
Neutral.
• Do not touch ignition wires or other
ignition system parts when starting
the engine or when the engine is
running, or you could receive an
electric shock.
• Be careful not to touch a hot
engine, exhaust manifold and
pipes, muffler, radiator and water
hoses.
• Do not allow smoking, sparks, or
flames around fuel or the battery.
Flammable fumes are present.
• Do not get under your vehicle if it is
supported only with the portable
jack provided in your vehicle.
• Be careful not to cause accidental
short circuits between the positive
and negative battery terminals.

• Keep used oil, coolant, and other
fluids away from children and pets.
Dispose of used fluids properly;
never pour them on the ground,
into sewers, etc.

The following table shows the times when
you should perform regular maintenance
on your vehicle. This table shows the tim-
ing when you should perform inspections,
adjustments, lubrication and other ser-
vices, by kilometer, mile and month.
This table is generated in terms of the fol-
lowing points:

tion. For some items, the maintenance
interval for severe condition is not
described in the table. In this case, perform
maintenance according to the mainte-
nance interval for normal condition.
The maintenance interval for severe condi-
tion is shorter than the one for normal con-
dition.Maintenance recommended under
severe driving conditions
• When most trips are less than 6 kilome-
ters (4 miles)
• When most trips are less than 16 kilome-
ters (10 miles) and outside temperature
remains below freezing
• Idling and/or low-speed operation in
