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.

For maintenance-free battery (cap-less type), you need not add water. For traditional type battery, which has water filler caps, the level of the battery fluid (acid) fluid (acid) must be kept between the upper level line (1) and lower level line (2) at all times. If the level is found to be below the lower level line (2), add distilled water to the upper level line (1 ). You should periodically check the battery, battery terminals, . and battery hold-down bracket for corrosion. Remove corrosion using a stiff brush and ammonia mixed with water or baking soda mixed with water. After removing corrosion, rinse with clean water.
If your vehicle is not going to be driven for a month or longer, disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery to help prevent discharge.

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.

Fuel recommendation
78RB0901R
To avoid damaging catalytic converter, you must use unleaded gasoline with an octane number (RON) of 91 or higher (or 95 or higher if a "RON 95" label is attached on the fuel filler lid), which complies with the European standard EN228. Do not use gasoline with additives containing metal.This is identified by a label attached on fuel lid that states: "UNLEADED FUEL ONLY", "NUR UNVERBLEITES BENZIN", "ENDAST BLYFRI BENSIN" or "SOLO GASOLINA SIN PLOMO".
Gasoline-ethanol blends Blends of unleaded gasoline and ethanol (grain alcohol), also known as gasohol, are commercially available in certain areas. Blends of this type may be used in your vehicle if they are no more than 10% ethanol. Check that this gasoline-ethanol blend has octane ratings no lower than those recommended for the gasoline.
Use the recommended gasoline which conforms to the following labels.
NOTE: If you are not satisfied with the driveability or fuel economy of your vehicle when you use a gasoline-alcohol blend, you should switch back to unleaded gasoline containing no alcohol.
Gasoline containing MTBE (where legally available) Unleaded gasoline containing MTB_E (methyl tertiary butyl ether) may be used in your vehicle if the MTBE content 1s not greater than 15%. This oxygenated fuel does not contain alcohol.
SPECIFICATION
NOTICE
The fuel tank has an air space to allow for fuel expansion in hot weather. If you continue to add fuel after the filler nozzle has automati-cally shut off or an initial blowback occurs, the air chamber will become full. Exposure to heat when fully fuelled in this manner will result in leakage due to fuel expansion. To prevent such fuel leakage, stop filling after the filler nozzle has automati-cally shut off, or when initial vent blowback occurs, if using an alterna-tive non-automatic system.
NOTICE
Be careful not to spill fuel containing alcohol while refueling. If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body, wipe it up immediately. Fuels containing alco-hol can cause paint damage, which is not covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
NOTE: For the fuel recommendation of Chile, Panama and Argentina models, refer to "For Chile, Panama and Argentina" in the "SUPPLEMENT" section.
