INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

NOTE:
*1:Clean more frequently if the air flow from the air conditioner decreases.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the California Air Resources Board has determined that the failure to perform recom-
mended maintenance items enclosed with a rectangle will not nullify the emission warranty or limit recall liability prior to the completion of
the vehicle’s useful life. SUZUKI, however, urges that all recommended maintenance services be performed at the indicated intervals
and the maintenance recorded.

Battery
52KM160
Your vehicle is equipped with a battery that
requires infrequent maintenance. You will
never have to add water. You should, how-
ever, periodically check the battery, battery
terminals and battery hold-down bracket
for corrosion. Remove corrosion using a
stiff brush and ammonia mixed with water,
or baking soda mixed with water. After
removing corrosion, rinse with clean water.
If your vehicle is not going to be driven for
a month or longer, disconnect the cable
from the negative terminal of the battery to
help prevent discharge.Battery replacement54P000704
NOTE:
(For diesel engine model)
To approach the battery, push the locks
and remove the suction pipe (1).
WA R N I N G
• Batteries produce flammable
hydrogen gas. Keep flames and
sparks away from the battery or an
explosion may occur. Never smoke
when working near the battery.
• When checking or servicing the
battery, disconnect the negative
cable. Be careful not to cause a
short circuit by allowing metal
objects to contact the battery posts
and the vehicle at the same time.
• To avoid harm to yourself or dam-
age to your vehicle or battery, fol-
low the jump-starting instructions
in “EMERGENCY SERVICE” sec-
tion if it is necessary to jump-start
your vehicle.
• Diluted sulfuric acid spilled from
battery can cause blindness or
severe burns. Use proper eye pro-
tection and gloves. Flush eyes or
body with ample water and get
medical care immediately if suf-
fered. Keep batteries out of reach
of children.
