INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
54P00-01E
To check the gear oil level, use the fol-
lowing procedure:
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface with
the parking brake applied. Then, stop
the engine.
2) Remove the oil filler and level plug.
For the manual transaxle;
3) If gear oil flows from the plug hole, the
oil level is correct. Reinstall the plug. If
gear oil does not flow from the plug
hole, add oil through the filler plug hole
until oil flows a little from the plug hole.
For the transfer and rear differential;
3) Check the inside of the hole with your
finger. If the oil level comes up to the
bottom of the plug hole, the oil level is
correct. If so, reinstall the plug.
4) If the oil level is low, add gear oil
through the oil filler and level plug hole
until the oil level reaches the bottom of
the filler hole, and then reinstall the
plug.
Tightening torque for oil filler and level
plug
Manual transaxle (1) or (2):
21 Nm (2.1 kg-m, 15.5 lb-ft)
Transfer (3) / Rear differential (4):
23 Nm (2.3 kg-m, 17.0 lb-ft)
Gear oil change
Since special procedures, materials and
tools are required, ask your authorized
SUZUKI dealer for this job.
Clutch pedal
Fluid control clutch
61MM0B067
Check the clutch pedal for smooth opera-
tion and clutch fluid level from time to time.
If clutch dragging is felt with the pedal fully
depressed, have the clutch inspected by
your SUZUKI dealer. If the clutch fluid level
is near “MIN” line, fill it up to “MAX” line
with SAE J1704 or DOT4 brake fluid.
CAUTION
After driving the vehicle, the gear oil
temperature may be high enough to
burn you. Wait until the oil filler and
level plug are cool enough to touch
with your bare hands before inspect-
ing gear oil level.
NOTICE
When tightening the plug, apply the
following sealing compound or
equivalent to the plug threads to pre-
vent oil leakage.
