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.

( 1) Preferred
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.

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
NOTE: SUZUKI highly recommends the use of ECSTAR brand coolant. ECSTAR has been specially formulated for your SUZUKI product and contributes to the desired vehicle performance and ideal driving experience.
Coolant level check
Check the coolant level at the reservoir tank, not at the radiator. With the engine cool, the coolant level should be between "FULL" and "LOW" marks.
Adding coolant
,A WARNING
Swallowing engine coolant can cause severe injury or death. Inhaling cool­ant mist or vapors or getting coolant in your eyes could result in severe injury. • Do not drink antifreeze or coolant solution. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Immediately con­tact a poison control center or a physician. • Avoid inhaling coolant mist or hot vapors. If inhaled, remove to a fresh air area. (Continued)
6-29
,A WARNING
(Continued) • If coolant gets in the eyes, flush with water and seek medical atten­tion. Wash thoroughly after handling coolant. Keep engine coolant out of the reach of children and pets.
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.
NOTICE
SUZUKI LLC: Standard (Green) cool­ant; • The mixture you use should con­tain 50% concentration of anti­freeze. If the lowest ambient temperature in your area is expected lo be -35°C (-31'F) or below, use higher con­centrations up to 60% following the instructions on the antifreeze con­tainer.
78RB07005
If the coolant level is below "LOW" mark, coolant should be added. While the engine is cool, remove the reservoir tank cap and add coolant until the reservoir tank level reaches "FULL" mark. Never fill the reser­voir tank above "FULL" mark.
NOTICE
When putting the cap on the reser­voir tank, line up the mark on the cap and the mark on the tank. Failure to follow this can result in coolant leak­age.
Coolant replacement
Since special procedures are required, ask a SUZUKI dealer for this job.

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:
54G108
Minimum distance between brake pedal and floor carpet "a"
LHD 101 mm (4.0 in)
RHD 89 mm (3.5 in)
6-34

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.
