For maintenance-free battery (cap-less
type), you need not add water. For tradi-
tional type battery, which has water filler
caps, the level of the battery solution must
be kept between the upper level line (1)
and lower level line (2) at all times. If the
level is found to be below the lower level
line (2), add distilled water to the upper
level line (1). You should 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.Replacement of the battery

8-13EMERGENCY SERVICE
75RM4-01E
Engine trouble: Starter does not operate1) Try turning the ignition switch to“START” position or try pressing the
engine switch to change the ignition
mode to START 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 flat or the battery terminal contact is
poor. Recharge the lead-acid battery or
correct battery terminal contact as nec-
essary.
2) If the headlights remain bright, check the fuses. If the reas on for failure of the
starter is not obvious, there may be a
major electrical problem. Have the vehi-
cle inspected by your authorized
SUZUKI dealer.
Engine trouble: Flooded engine(Vehicle without keyless push start sys-
tem)
If the engine is flooded with gasoline, it
may be hard to start. If this happens, press
the accelerator pedal all the way to the
floor and hold it there while cranking the
engine.
• Do not operate the starter motor for more than 12 seconds.
(Vehicle with keyless push start system)
If the engine is flooded with gasoline, it
may be hard to start. If this happens, press
the accelerator pedal all the way to the
floor and hold it there while cranking the
engine.
• Do not operate the starter motor for more than 12 seconds.
NOTE:
If the engine refuses to start, the starter
motor automatically stops after a certain
period of time. After the starter motor has
automatically stopped or if there is any-
thing abnormal in the engine starting sys-
tem, the starter motor runs only while the
engine switch is held pressed.
Engine trouble: OverheatingThe engine could overheat temporarily
under severe driving conditions. If the high
engine coolant temperature warning light
comes on as overheating during driving:
1) Turn off the air conditioner, if equipped.
2) Take the vehicle to a safe place and park.
3) Let the engine run at the normal idle speed for a few minutes until the high
engine coolant temperature warning
light goes off.
WA R N I N G
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.

are spilled or leaked, clean and dry the
area immediately.
Store your vehicle in a dry, well-venti-
lated area
Do not park your vehicle in a damp, poorly-
ventilated area. If you often wash your
vehicle in the garage and place it there in
wet condition, your garage may be damp.
The high humidity in the garage may
cause or accelerate corrosion. A wet vehi-
cle may corrode even in a heated garage if
the ventilation is poor.
Vehicle cleaning
76G044S
Cleaning interiorVinyl upholstery
Prepare a solution of soap or mild deter-
gent mixed with warm water. Apply the
solution to the vinyl with a sponge or soft
cloth and let it soak for a few minutes to
loosen dirt.
Rub the surface with a clean, damp cloth
to remove dirt and the soap solution. If
some dirt still remains on the surface,
repeat this procedure.
Fabric upholstery
Remove loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
Using a mild soap solution, rub stained
areas with a clean damp cloth. To remove
soap, rub the areas again with a cloth
dampened with water. Repeat this until the
stain is removed, or use a commercial fab-
ric cleaner for tougher stains. If you use a
fabric cleaner, carefully follow the manu-
facturer’s instructions and precautions.
WA R N I N G
Do not apply additional undercoating
or rust preventive coating on or
around exhaust system components
such as the catalytic converter and
exhaust pipes. A fire could be started
if the undercoating substance
becomes overheated.
WA R N I N G
When cleaning the interior or exterior
of the vehicle, do not use flammable
solvents such as lacquer thinners,
gasoline and benzene. Also, do not
use cleaning materials such as
bleaches and strong household
detergents. The materials could
cause personal injury or damage to
the vehicle.
WA R N I N G
On models equipped with the ENG A-
STOP system, there is a lithium-ion
battery under the front passenger’s
seat. Do not allow the battery to get
wet. Otherwise, it may cause a fire or
electric shock or damage to the bat-
tery.
