DRIVING TIPS
NOTICE
Avoid driving in a flooded area or a deep puddle. It may cause an engine stall, short in electrical components, engine and transmission damages, etc.
4-7
Do not drive through deep or rush­
ing water
Driving in deep or rushing water can be hazardous. You could lose control of the vehicle and the occupants could drown. Also, your vehicle could be seriously dam­aged. To avoid these risks, observe the following instructions and precautions. Do not drive through deep or rushing water. Deep or rushing water, such as fast-moving streams or fioodwaters, could carry your vehicle away from your intended path. The water is too deep if it covers your wheel hubs, axles, or exhaust tailpipe. Know the depth of the water before you attempt to drive through it.
If the vehicle goes across the river unavoidably, follow the instructions below before going across the river. 1) Confirm the depth of the river and the terrain. 2) Select the place which is less than 30cm (11.8 inch) in depth of water. Go across the river to a right angle for the river or lower part of the river 3) Drive slowly at less than 5 km/h (3.1 mph) not to raise the wave and go across the river immediately to avoid operating the gearshift lever.
If the vehicle goes across the river that is more than 30 cm (11.8 inch) in depth of water unavoidably, stop the vehicle in a safe place while checking the brake effec­tiveness. Then, ask a SUZUKI dealer or a qualified workshop to check the following
inspection items. Function of brake Function of electrical components Changes of oil level and quality for engine, transmission and differential. In case that the oil is turbid whitely, water has been mixed in the oil and an oil change is required. Lubricant condition of the bearings, sus­pension joints, etc. If water blocks the tailpipe, the engine may not start or run. If the water is deep enough to get drawn into the engine intake system, the engine will be badly damaged. Submerged brakes will have poor brak­ing performance. Drive slowly and care­fully. Driving slowly will also help avoid water splashing onto the ignition system, which could cause the engine to stall. Even when driving through shallow or still waters, drive carefully since the water may be hiding ground hazards such as holes, ditches, or bumps.

A WARNING
In addition to following the driving tips in this section, it is important to observe the following precautions for on-road and off-road driving. Driver and passengers should wear seat belts at all times. Do not let anyone else drive your vehicle unless they are also aware of the vehicle characteristics and handling differences described in this section. Avoid loaning your vehicle to any• one unless you accompany them. Make sure your tyres are in good condition and always maintain the specified tyre pressure. Refer to "Tyres" in the "INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE" section for details. Do not use tyres other than those specified by SUZUKI. Never use dif• ferent sizes or types of tyres on the front and rear wheels. For informa• lion regarding the specified tyres, refer to the "SPECIFICATIONS" section. Never use oversized tyres or spe­cial shock absorbers and springs to raise uack up) your vehicle. This will raise the center of gravity of the vehicle and change its handling characteristics. (Continued)
A WARNING
(Continued) After driving through water, mud, or sandy ground, test the brakes while driving at a slow speed to see if they have maintained their nor• mal effectiveness. If the brakes are less effective than normal, dry them by repeatedly applying the brakes while driving slowly until the brakes have regained their nor• mal effectiveness. After extended operation in mud, sand, or water, have the brakes, bearings and joint parts etc. inspected by a SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
DRIVING TIPS
Running-in
NOTICE
The future performance and reliabil• ity of the engine depends on the care and restraint exercised during its early life. It is especially important to observe the following precautions during the first 960 km (600 miles) of vehicle operation. • After starting, do not race the engine. Warm ii up gradually. • Avoid prolonged vehicle operation at a constant speed. Moving parts will break in better if you vary your speed. Start off from a stop slowly. Avoid full throttle starts. Avoid hard braking, especially during the first 320 km (200 miles) of driving. Do not drive slowly with the !rans• mission in a high gear. Drive the vehicle at moderate engine speeds. Do not tow a trailer during the first 960 km (600 miles) of vehicle oper• ation.

Improving fuel economy
The following instructions will help you improve fuel economy.
Avoid excessive idling If you park your vehicle for more than one minute, stop the engine and start it again later. When warming up a cold engine, do not allow the engine to idle or apply full throttle until the engine has reached oper­ating temperature. Allow the engine to warm up by driving.
Avoid fast starts F~st starts away from lights or stop signs will consume fuel unnecessarily and shorten engine life. Start off slowly.
Avoid unnecessary stops Avoid unnecessary deceleration and stop­ping. Try to maintain a moderate, steady speed whenever possible. Slowing down and then accelerating again uses more fuel.
Keep a steady cruising speed Drive at a constant speed that road and traffic conditions will permit.
Keep the air cleaner clean
EXAMPLE
60A183
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there will be greater intake resistance, resulting m decreased power output and increased fuel consumption.
Keep weight to a minimum The heavier the load is, the more fuel the vehicle consumes. Unload any unneces­sary luggage or cargo.
Keep tyre pressures correct Under-infiation of the tyres can waste fuel due to increased rolling resistance of the tyres. Keep your tyres infiated to the cor­rect pressure shown in the label on driver's door lock pillar.
DRIVING TIPS
Highway driving
When driving at highway speeds, pay attention to the following: • Stopping distance progressively increases with vehicle speed. Apply the brakes far enough ahead of the stopping prnnt to allow for the extra stopping dis­tance. On rainy days, hydroplaning can occur. Hydroplaning is the loss of direct contact between the road surface and the vehi­cle's tyres due to a water film forming between them. Steering or braking the vehicle during hydroplaning can be very difficult, and loss of control can occur. Keep speed down when the road sur­face is wet. At high speeds, the vehicle may be affected by side winds. Therefore, reduce speed and be prepared for unex­pected buffeting, which can occur at the exits of tunnels, when passing by a cut of a hill, or when being overtaken by large vehicles, etc.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
It is important to keep the engine oil at the correct level for proper lubrication of your vehicle's engine. Check the oil level with the vehicle on a level surface. The oil level indication may be inaccurate if the vehicle is on a slope. The oil level should be checked either before starting the engine or at least 5 minutes after stopping the
engine. The handle of the engine oil dipstick is col­ored with yellow for easy identification.
6-25
Pull out the oil dipstick, wipe the oil off with a clean cloth, insert the dipstick all the way into the engine, and then remove it again. The oil on the stick should be between the upper and lower limits shown on the stick. If the oil level indication is near the lower, limit, add enough oil to raise the level to the upper limit.
NOTICE
Failure to check the oil level regularly could lead to serious engine trouble due to insufficient oil.
Refilling
Open Close tr-------~,
• \lc----------,1/.
52RM60020
Remove the oil filler cap and pour oil slowly through the filler hole to bring the oil level to the upper limit on the dipstick. Be careful not to overfill the oil. Too much oil is almost as bad as too little oil. After refilling, start the engine and allow it to idle for about a min­ute. Stop the engine, wait about 5 minutes and check the oil level again.

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.
