NOTE: SUZUKI highly recommends the use of ECSTAR brend brake fluid. ECSTAR has been specially formulated for your SUZUKI product and contributes to the desired vehicle performance and ideal driving experience.
A WARNING
Failure to follow the guidelines below can result in personal injury or serious damage to the brake system. . If the brake fluid in the reservoir drops below a certain level, the brake warning light on the instrument cluster will come on (the engine must be running with the parking brake fully dise~gaged). Should the light come on, 1mmed1-ately ask a SUZUKI dealer to inspect the brake system. A rapid fluid loss indicates leakage in the brake system which should be inspected by a SUZUKI dealer immediately. Do not use any fluid other than DOT3 or SAE J1703 brake fluid. Do not use reclaimed fluid or fluid that has been stored in old or open containers. It is essential that foreign particles and other liquids are kept out of the brake fluid reservoir.
A CAUTION
Brake fluid can harm your eyes and damage painted surfaces. Be careful when refilling the reservoir.
A WARNING
Brake fluid is harmful or fatal if swallowed, and harmful if it comes in contact with skin or eyes. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Immediately contact a poison control center or a physician. If brake fluid gets in eye~, flush eyes with water and seek medical attention. Wash thoroughly after handling. Solution can be poisonous to animals. Keep out of reach of children and animals.
NOTE: • The fluid /eve/ can be expected to gredually fall as the brake pad and/or shoe wear. Brake fluid absorbs water over time and brake fluid with high water content may cause vapor lock or breke system malfunction. Replace your breke fluid in accordance with the maintenance schedule m your Owner's Manual.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Brake pedal
Check brake pedal stroke. If the stroke is so large, have the brake system inspected by a SUZUKI dealer. If you doubt th_e brake pedal is at its normal height, check 1t as follows:

Minimum distance between brake pedal and floor carpet "a"
LHD 101 mm (4.0 in)
RHD 89 mm (3.5 in)

Page 352 of 421

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
With the engine running, measure the distance between the brake pedal and floor carpet when the pedal is depressed with approximately 30 kg (66 lbs) of force. The minimum distance required is as specified. Since your vehicle's brake system is selfadjusting, there is no need for pedal adjustment. If the pedal to floor carpet distance as measured above is less than the minimum distance required, have your vehicle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.
NOTE: • When measuring the distance between the brake pedal and floor wall, be sure not to include the floor mat or rubber on the floor carpet in your measurement. Measure the distance at the brake pedal's side facing toward the passenger's door.

A WARNING
If you experience any of the following problems with your vehicle's brake system, have the vehicle inspected immediately by a SUZUKI dealer. Poor braking performance Uneven braking (brakes not working uniformly on all wheels.) Excessive pedal travel Brake dragging Excessive noise
Parking brake
~
54G109
Ratchet tooth specification 11b": 4th-9th Lever pull force (1 ): 200 N (20 kg, 45 lbs)
Check the parking brake for proper adjustment by counting the number of clicks made by the ratchet teeth as you slowly pull up on the parking brake lever to the point of full engagement. The parking brake lever should stop between the specified ratchet teeth and the rear wheels should be securely locked. If the parking brake is not properly adjusted or the brakes drag is suspected even after the lever has been fully released, have the parking brake inspected and/or adjusted by a SUZUKI dealer.

NOTE: (Battery label) When the battery is disconnected, some i::::-==-=="---------
of the vehicle's functions will be initialized and/or deactivated. These functions must be required to reset after the battery is reconnected. Do not disconnect the battery terminals for at least one minute after the ignition switch is turned off.
A WARNING
Batteries contain toxic substances including sulfuric acid and lead. They could have potential negative consequences for the environment and human health. Used batteries must be disposed of or recycled according to applicable rules or regulations and must not be disposed of with ordinary household trash. Make sure not to tip over the battery when you remove it from the vehicle. Otherwise, sulfuric acid could run out and you might get injury.
NOTICE
After stopping the engine, controller and system are operated for a while. Therefore, before removing the battery, wait for more than one minute after turning the ignition switch to 110FF".

(5) Crossed-out wheeled bin symbol (6) Chemical symbol of "Pb"
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol (5) located on the battery label indicates that the used battery should be collected separately from ordinary household trash. The chemical symbol of "Pb" (6) indicates the battery contains more than 0.004% lead.
By ensuring the used battery is disposed of or recycled correctly, you will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health, which could otherwise be caused by inappropriate trash handling of the battery. The recycling of materials will help to conserve natural resources. For more detailed information about disposing of or recycling the used battery, consult a SUZUKI dealer.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Fuses
Your vehicle has three types of fuses, as described below:
Main fuse The main fuse takes current directly from the lead-acid battery.
Primary fuses These fuses are between the main fuse and individual fuses, and are for electrical load groups.
Individual fuses These fuses are for individual electrical cir
cuits.
To remove a fuse, use the fuse puller provided in the fuse box cover.

The main fuse, primary fuses and some of the individual fuses are located in the engine compartment. If the main fuse blows, no electrical component will function. If a primary fuse blows, no electrical component in the corresponding load group will function. When replacing the main fuse, a primary fuse or an individual fuse, use a genuine SUZUKI replacement parts or equivalent for individual fuses. To remove a fuse, use the fuse puller provided in the fuse box. The amperage of each fuse is shown in the back of the fuse box cover.

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.
