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:

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.

A. WARNING
If the main fuse or a primary fuse blows, have your vehicle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer. Always use a genuine SUZUKI replacement. Never use a substitute such as a wire even for a temporary repair, or extensive electrical damage and a fire can result.
NOTE: Check that the fuse box always carries spare fuses.

Engine trouble: Starter does
not operate
1) Try turning the ignition switch to "START" position with the headlights turned on to determine the lead-acid battery condition. If the headlights go excessively dim or go off, it usually means that either the lead-acid battery is discharged or the battery terminal contact is poor. Recharge the lead-acid battery or correct battery terminal contact as necessary. 2) If the headlights remain bright, check the fuses. If the reason for failure of the starter is not obvious, there may be a major electrical problem. Have the vehicle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.
Engine trouble: Does not start
Make sure that your vehicle has enough · fuel and battery. If the engine does not start under very cold condition, press the accelerator pedal all the way to the fioor and hold it while cranking the engine. Refer to "Starting engine" in operating your vehicle section. If the engine still does not start have your vehicle inspected at a SUZUKI dealer. Do not operate the starter motor for more than 12 seconds.
EMERGENCY SERVICE
Engine trouble: Overheating
The engine could overheat temporarily under severe driving conditions. If the high engine coolant temperature warning light comes on as overheating or the engine coolant temperature gauge indicates overheating during driving:
1) Turn off the air conditioner. 2) Take the vehicle to a safe place and park. 3) Run the engine at a normal idle speed for a few minutes until the high engine coolant temperature warning light goes off or the indicator is within the normal, acceptable temperature range between "H" and "C".
A WARNING
If you see or hear escaping steam, stop the vehicle in a safe place and immediately turn off the engine to cool it. Do not open the hood when steam is present. When the steam can no longer be seen or heard, open the hood to see if the coolant is still boiling. If it is, you must wait until it stops boiling before you proceed.
7-10
EMERGENCY SERVICE
If the high engine coolant temperature warning light does not go off or the temperature indication does not come down to within the normal, acceptable range:
1) Turn off the engine and check that the water pump belt and pulleys are not damaged or slipping. If any abnormality is found, correct it. 2) Check the coolant level in the reservoir. If it is found to be lower than "LOW" line, check radiator, water pump, radiator hoses and heater hoses for leakage. If leakage that may cause overheating is found, do not run the engine until these problems have been corrected. 3) If leakage is not found, carefully add coolant to the reservoir and then the radiator, if necessary. (Refer to "Engine coolant" in "INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE" section.)
NOTE: If engine overheats and you are not sure what to do, contact a SUZUKI dealer.

A WARNING
• It is hazardous to remove the radiator cap when the water temperature is high, because scalding fluid and steam may be blown out under pressure. The cap should only be taken off when the coolant temperature has lowered. To help prevent personal injury, keep hands, tools and clothing away from the engine cooling fan and air-conditioner fan. These electric fans can automatically turn on without warning.

2) Rinse the body to loosen the dirt. Remove dirt and mud from the body exterior with running water. You may use a soft sponge or brush. Do not use hard materials which can scratch the . paint or plastic. Remember that the headlight covers or lenses are made of plastic in many cases.
NOTICE
To avoid damage to the paint or plastic surface, do not wipe the dirt off without ample water. Follow the above procedure.
3) Wash the entire exterior with a mild detergent or car wash soap using a sponge or soft cloth. The sponge or cloth should be frequently soaked in the soap solution.
NOTICE
When using a commercial car wash product, observe the cautions specified by the manufacturer. Never use strong household detergents or soaps.
4) Once the dirt has been completely removed, rinse off the detergent with running water. 5) Wipe off the vehicle body with a wet chamois or cloth and allow it to dry in the shade.
6) Check carefully for damage to painted surfaces. If there is any damage, touch up the damage following the procedure below: 1. Clean all damaged spots and allow them to dry. 2. Stir the paint and touch up the damaged spots lightly using a small brush. 3. Allow the paint to dry completely.
Washing by an automatic car wash
NOTICE
If you use an automatic car wash, check that your vehicle's body parts, such as spoilers, cannot be damaged. If you are in doubt, consult the car wash operator for advice.
