INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Drive belt
A WARNING
When the engine is running, keep hands, hair, clothing, tools, etc. away from the moving fan and drive belts.
Check that the drive belt tension is correct while the engine is stopped. If the belt is too loose, insufficient battery charging, engine overheating, poor air conditioning, or excessive belt wear can result. When you push the belt with your thumb midpoint between the pulleys, there should be a deflection according to the following chart.
The belts should also be examined to ensure that they are not damaged.
If you need to replace or adjust the belt have it done by a SUZUKI dealer.

Check that the engine oil you use comes under the quality classification as listed below: • ACEA A1/81, A3/83, A3/84, AS/85 • API SL, SM, SN • ILSAC GF-3, GF-4, GF-5 Select the appropriate oil viscosity accord­ing to the above chart.

(For EU countries and Israel) The replacement timing varies with the type of engine oil that you choose. Refer to "Maintenance schedule" in this section for corresponding maintenance schedule.
SAE 0W-16 ( 1 ) is the best choice for good fuel economy and good startability in cold weather.
NOTE: SUZUKI highly recommends the use of ECSTAR brand engine oil. ECSTAR has been specially formulated for your SUZUKI product and contributes to the desired vehicle performance and ideal driving experience.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Oil level check

6-24

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.

Changing engine oil and filter
Drain the engine oil while the engine is still warm.
78RB07003
1) Remove the oil filler cap. 2) Place a drain pan under the drain plug. 3) Using a wrench, remove the drain plug and drain the engine oil.
A CAUTION
The engine oil temperature may be high enough to burn your fingers when the drain plug is loosened. Wait until the drain plug is cool enough to touch with your bare hands.
Tightening torque for drain plug: 35 Nm (3.6 kg-m, 25.8 lb-ft)
A WARNING
Engine oil can be hazardous. Chil­dren and pets may be harmed by swallowing new or used oil. Keep new and used oil and used oil filters away from children and pets. Repeated, prolonged contact with used engine oil may cause skin can­cer. Brief contact with used oil may irri­tate skin. (Continued)
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
A WARNING
(Continued) To minimize your exposure to used oil, wear a long-sleeve shirt and moisture-proof gloves (such as dish­washing gloves) when changing oil. If oil contacts your skin, wash thor­oughly with soap and water. Launder any clothing or rags if it is with oil. Recycle or properly dispose of used oil and oil filters.
4) Reinstall the drain plug with new gas­ket. Tighten the plug with a wrench to the specified torque.
NOTE: • Whenever the engine oil is changed, the oil life monitoring must be reset to moni­tor the next oil change timing properly To reset the light, consult a SUZUKI dealer. If you reset it by yourself, refer to "Setting mode" in "BEFORE DRIVING" section. For more information of the oil change reminder light and oil life monitoring, refer to "Oil change reminder light (if equipped)" or "Information display" in "BEFORE DRIVING" section. Ask a SUZUKI dealer for changing engine oil and filter If you have difficul­ties.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Oil filler replacement
1) Using an oil filter wrench, turn the oil fil­ter counterclockwise and remove ii. 2) Using a clean rag, wipe off the mount­ing surface on the engine where the new filter will be seated. 3) Smear a small amount of engine oil around the rubber gasket of the new oil filter. 4) Screw the new filter by hand until the fil­ter gasket contacts the mounting sur­face.
(1) Loosen (2) Tighten

54G093
To tighten the oil filter properly, it is important to accurately identify the position at which the filter gasket first contacts the mounting surface.
5) Tighten the filter as specified below from the point of contact with the mounting surface (or to the specified torque) using an oil filter wrench.
Tightening torque for oil filter: 3/4 turn or 14 Nm (1.4 kg-m, 10.3 lb-ft)
NOTICE
To prevent oil leakage, check that the oil filter is tight, but do not over­tighten it.
