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.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
specified pressure when tyres cool down. Also, tyres that are inflated to the specified pressure in a warm garage may have pres­sure below the specification when the vehi­cle is driven outside in very cold temperature. If you adjust the tyre pres­sure in a garage that is warmer than the outside temperature, you should add 1 kPa to the recommended cold tyre pressure for every O.B'C difference between garage temperature and outside temperature.
6-37
Tyre inspection
Inspect your vehicle's tyres at least once a month or before long trip by performing the following checks:
1) Measure the air pressure with a tyre gauge. Adjust the pressure if neces­sary. Remember to check the spare tyre, too.
A WARNING
• Air pressures should be checked when the tyres are cold or you may get inaccurate readings. Check the inflation pressure from time to time while inflating the tyre gradually, until the specified pres­sure is obtained. Never under-inflate or over-inflate the tyres. Under-inflation can cause unusual handling characteristics or can cause the rim to slip on the tyre bead, resulting in an accident or damage to the tyre or rim. Over-inflation can cause the lyre to burst, resulting in personal injury. Over-inflation can also cause unusual handling characteristics which may result in an accident.

2) Check that the depth of the tread groove is more than 1.6 mm (0.06 in.). To help you check this, the tyres have molded-in tread wear indicators in the grooves. When the indicators appear on the tread surface, the remaining depth of the tread is 1.6 mm (0.06 in.) or less and the tyre should be replaced. 3) Check for abnormal wear, cracks and damage. Any tyres with cracks or other damage should be replaced. If any tyres show abnormal wear, have them inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.

A CAUTION
Hitting curbs and running over rocks can damage tyres and affect wheel alignment. Have tyres and wheel alignment checked periodically by a SUZUKI dealer.
4) Check for loose wheel nuts. 5) Check that there are no nails, stones or other objects sticking into the tyres.
A WARNING
• Your SUZUKI vehicle is equipped with tyres which are all the same type and size. This is important to ensure proper steering and han­dling of the vehicle. Never mix tyres of different size or type on the four wheels of your vehicle. The size and type of tyres used should be only those approved by SUZUKI as standard or optional equipment for your vehicle. Replacing the wheels and tyres equipped on your vehicle with cer­tain combinations of aftermarket wheels and tyres can significantly change the steering and handling characteristics of your vehicle. Therefore, use only those wheel and tyre combinations approved by SUZUKI as standard or optional equipment for your vehicle.
NOTICE
Replacing the original tyres with tyres of a different size may result in false speedometer or odometer readings. Check with a SUZUKI dealer before purchasing replace­ment tyres that differ in size from the original tyres. Replacing a tyre with one of a dif­ferent size, or using different brands among the four tyres can result in damage to the drive train.
