If the coolant level is below “LOW” mark,
more coolant should be added. When the
engine is cool, remove the degassing tank
cap by turning it counterclockwise slowly to
release any pressure. And add coolant
until the degassing tank level reaches
“FULL” mark. Never fill the degassing tank
above “FULL” mark.
Coolant replacement
Since special procedures are required, ask
your authorized SUZUKI dealer for this job.
Air cleaner
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there
will be greater intake resistance, resulting
in decreased power output and increased
fuel consumption.

WA R N I N G
It is hazardous to remove the reser-
voir tank cap (degassing tank cap) for
a diesel engine when the water tem-
perature is high, because scalding
fluid and steam may be blown out
under pressure. Wait until the coolant
temperature has lowered before
removing the cap.
NOTICE
When lifting the air cleaner, check that
the air cleaner does not interfere with
the engine oil dipstick (5) to avoid
damage the dipstick.

Open the engine hood. Disconnect the
coupler by pushing the lock release. Turn
the bulb holder counterclockwise and
remove it.
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 elec-
trical system. This should be carried
out by your SUZUKI dealer.
