If the belt is too loose, insufficient battery
charging, engine overheating, poor power
steering, poor air conditioning, or exces-
sive belt wear can result. When you press
the belt with your thumb midway 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.

Pull out the oil dipstick, wipe oil off with a
clean cloth, insert the dipstick all the way
into the engine, and then remove it again.
The oil on the stick should be between the
upper and lower limits shown on the stick.
If the oil level indication is near the lower
limit, add enough oil to raise the level to
the upper limit.NOTE:
When the soot particles accumulated in
the DPF
® are combusted, the amount of
the engine oil may increase due to the dilu-
tion with the fuel. This is not a vehicle mal-
function. The soot particles accumulated in
the DPF
® are combusted automatically
during driving. However, they may not be
combusted in the following cases.
• When you drive at low speed for a long
time
• When you repeat a short-time or short-
distance driving
1) When the DPF
® warning light comes
on, drive at a speed of 50 km/h (31
mph) or higher for more than 25 min-
utes to regenerate the DPF
® properly.
For details, refer to “Diesel particulate
filter (DPF
®)” in “OPERATING YOUR
VEHICLE” section.
2) When the oil change request light
blinks, change the engine oil and oil fil-
ter, and reset the oil life monitoring sys-
tem. To reset the oil life monitoring
system, consult your SUZUKI dealer.
3) When the engine oil level exceeds the
MAX level on the dipstick, consult your
SUZUKI dealer.
Refilling
81A147
Remove the oil filler cap and pour oil slowly
through the filler hole to bring the oil level
to the upper limit on the dipstick. Be careful
not to overfill the oil. Too much oil is almost
as bad as too little oil. After refilling, start the
engine and allow it to idle for about a min-
ute. Stop the engine, wait about 5 minutes
and check the oil level again.
NOTICE
Failure to check the oil level regularly
could lead to serious engine trouble
due to insufficient oil.
NOTICE
(For diesel engine model)
Do not top up the oil over the MAX
limit. Too much oil causes serious
engine trouble.

again.
Engine coolant
Selection of coolant
To maintain optimum performance and
durability of your engine, use SUZUKI gen-
uine coolant or equivalent.
NOTE:
If you replace the engine coolant with cool-
ant other than “SUZUKI LLC: Super
(Blue)”, follow the schedule of “SUZUKI
LLC: Standard (Green)”. To see the detail
of the maintenance schedule, refer to
“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 freez-
ing and boiling.
• It gives proper protection against corro-
sion and rust.
Failure to use the proper coolant can dam-
age your cooling system. Your authorizedSUZUKI dealer can help you select the
proper coolant.
NOTICE
• When replacing the oil filter, it is
recommended that you use a genu-
ine SUZUKI replacement filter. If
you use an aftermarket filter, check
that it is of equivalent quality and
follow the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.
• 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 vehi-
cle inspected by your SUZUKI
dealer.
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 freez-
ing and/or overheating coolant.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging your cooling sys-
tem:
• Always use a high quality ethylene
glycol base non-silicate type cool-
ant 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. Concentra-
tions greater than 70/30 coolant to
distilled water will cause overheat-
ing conditions.
• Do not use straight coolant nor
plain water (except “SUZUKI LLC:
Super (Blue)”).
• Do not add extra inhibitors or addi-
tives. 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 damage.

SUPPLEMENT
54P00-01E
NOTE:
Oxygenated fuels are fuels which contain
oxygen-carrying additives such as MTBE
or alcohol.
If “RON 95” label is attached, you must use
unleaded gasoline with a minimum rating
of 91 pump octane ((R + M)/2 method).
Gasoline containing MTBE
Unleaded gasoline containing MTBE
(methyl tertiary butyl ether) may be used in
your vehicle if the MTBE content is not
greater than 15%. This oxygenated fuel
does not contain alcohol.
Gasoline-ethanol blends
Blends of unleaded gasoline and ethanol
(grain alcohol), also known as gasohol,
may be used in your vehicle if the ethanol
content is not greater than 10%.
Gasoline-methanol blends
Fuels containing 5% or less methanol
(wood alcohol) may be suitable for use in
your vehicle if they contain cosolvents and
corrosion inhibitors. Do not use fuels con-
taining more than 5% methanol under any
circumstances. Fuel system damage or
vehicle performance problems resulting
from the use of such fuels are not the
responsibility of SUZUKI and may not be
covered under the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
Fuel pump labeling
In some states, pumps that dispense oxy-
genated fuels are required to be labeled
for the type and percentage of oxygenate
and whether important additives are pres-
ent. Such labels may provide enough infor-
mation for you to determine if a particular
blend of fuels meets the requirements
listed above. In other areas, pumps may
not be clearly labeled as to the content or
type of oxygenate and additives. If you are
not sure that the fuel you intend to use
meets these requirements, check with the
service station operator or the fuel sup-
plier.
NOTE:
To help clean the air, SUZUKI recom-
mends you use the oxygenated fuels.
However, if you are not satisfied with the
driveability or fuel economy of your vehicle
when you are using an oxygenated fuel,
switch back to the regular unleaded gaso-
line.
Engine oil and filter
Specified oil
“Starburst” symbol
80JC103
Use engine oil for gasoline engines with
the above “Starburst” symbol, certified by
American Petroleum Institute.
We highly recommend you use SAE 0W-20
or 5W-30 oil.
SAE 0W-20 is the best choice for good fuel
economy and good starting in cold
weather.
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.
NOTICE
Failure to use the recommended oil
can result in engine damage.
