(1) Oil filter
(2) 3/4 turn5) Tighten the filter as specified below
from the point of contact with the
mounting surface (or to the specified
torque) using an oil filter wrench.
Tightening torque for oil filter:
3/4 turn or
14 Nm (1.4 kg -m, 10.3 lb-ft)
Refill with oil and oil leakage check1) Pour oil through the filler hole and
install the filler cap.
For the approximate capacity of the oil,
refer to “Capacities” in the “SPECIFI-
CATIONS” 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 min- utes. Check the oil level again and add
oil if necessary. Check for leakage
again.
NOTICE
To tighten the oil filter properly, it is
important to accurately identify the
position at which the filter gasket
first contacts the mounting surface.
NOTICE
To prevent oil leakage, check that the
oil filter is tight, but do not over-
tighten it.
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 equi valent 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.

Spark plug gap “a”
ILZKR6F11:
1.0 – 1.1 mm (0.039 – 0.043 in.)
(For K12M engine model)
Since special procedures, materials and
tools are required, it is recommended that
you trust this job to your authorized
SUZUKI dealer.
Continuously variable transaxle (CVT) fluidSpecified fluidUse a CVT fluid SUZUKI CVT FLUID
GREEN-2.Fluid level checkYou must check the fluid level with the CVT
fluid at normal ope rating temperature.
To check the fluid level:
1) To warm up the CVT fluid, drive the vehicle for more 5 km. NOTE:
Do not check the fluid level if you have just
driven the vehicle for a long time at high
speed, or if you have driven in city traffic in
hot weather, or if the vehicle has been pull-
ing a trailer. Wait until the fluid cools down
(about 30 minutes), or the fluid level indi-
cation will not be correct.
2) Park your vehicle on level ground.
3) Apply the parking brake and then start
the engine in “P” (Park). Let it idle for
two minutes and keep it running during
the fluid level check.
4) With your foot on the brake pedal,
move the gearshift lever through each
gear, pausing for about three seconds
in each range. Then move it back to the
“P” (Park) position.
NOTICE
When replacing spark plugs, you
should use the brand and type speci-
fied for your vehicle. For the specified
plugs, refer to “SPECIFICATIONS”
section in the end of this book. If you
wish to use a brand of spark plug
other than the specified plugs, con-
sult your SUZUKI dealer.
NOTICE
Driving with too much or too little
fluid can damage the transaxle.
NOTICE
Be sure to use the specified CVT
fluid. Using CVT fluid other than
SUZUKI CVT FLUID GREEN-2 may
damage the CVT of your vehicle.
WA R N I N G
Be sure to depress the brake pedal
when moving the gearshift lever, or
the vehicle can move suddenly.

(1) Tread wear indicator
(2) Indicator location mark
2) Check that the depth of the tread groove is more than 1.6 mm (0.06 in.).
To help you check this, the tires 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 tire should be replaced.
3) Check for abnormal wear, cracks and damage. Any tires with cracks or other
damage should be replaced. If any tires
show abnormal wear, have them
inspected by your SUZUKI dealer. 4) Check for loose wheel nuts.
5) Check that there are no nails, stones or
other objects sticki ng into the tires.

EXAMPLE
CAUTION
Hitting curbs and running over rocks
can damage tires and affect wheel
alignment. Have tires and wheel
alignment checked periodically by
your SUZUKI dealer.
WA R N I N G
• Your SUZUKI vehicle is equipped
with tires which are all the same
type and size. This is important to
ensure proper steering and han-
dling of the vehicle. Never mix tires
of different size or type on the four
wheels of your vehicle. The size
and type of tires used should be
only those approved by SUZUKI as
standard or optional equipment for
your vehicle.
• Replacing the wheels and tires
equipped on your vehicle with cer-
tain combinations of aftermarket
wheels and tires can significantly
change the steering and handling
characteristics of your vehicle.
• Therefore, use only those wheel
and tire combinations approved by
SUZUKI as standard or optional
equipment for your vehicle.
NOTICE
Replacing the original tires with tires
of a different size may result in false
speedometer or odometer readings.
Check with your SUZUKI dealer
before purchasing replacement tires
that differ in size from the original
tires.
NOTICE
For 4WD models, replacing a tire with
one of a different size, or using differ-
ent brands among the four tires can
result in damage to the drive train.

EMERGENCY SERVICE
75RM4-01E
IMPORTANT
The flat tire repair kit cannot be used in
the following cases. Consult a SUZUKI
dealer or a roadside assistance service.
• Cuts or piercing in the tire treadlarger than approx. 4 mm.
• Cuts in the tire side wall.
• Tire damage caused by driving with considerably reduced tire pressure or
even with deflated tire.
• The tire bead completely unseated outside of the rim.
• The rim damaged.
Small punctures in the tire tread,
caused by a nail or a screw, can be
sealed with the flat tire repair kit.
Do not remove nails or screws from the
tire during an e mergency repair. Flat tire repair kit contents

Flat tire repair kit sealant is harmful if
swallowed, or if it comes in contact
with skin or eyes. If swallowed, do
not induce vomiting. Give plenty of
water (if possible charcoal slurry)
and seek medical attention immedi-
ately. If sealant gets in eyes, flush
eyes with water and seek medical
attention. Wash thoroughly after han-
dling. Solution can be poisonous to
animals. Keep out of the reach of
children and animals.
NOTICE
Replace the sealant before expiry
date indicated on the label of the
sealant bottle. To purchase new seal-
ant, see your SUZUKI dealer.

8) Affix the speed restriction label from theair compressor in the driver’s field of
view.
9) Make a short drive immediately after inflating the tire to the required air pres-
sure. Drive carefully with a maximum
speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).
10)Carry on driving carefully to the nearest
SUZUKI dealer or a tire repair shop. 11)After 10 km (6 mile) running, check the
tire pressure with the pressure gauge of
the compressor. If the air pressure indi-
cates more than 130 kPa (1.3 bar), the
emergency repair is completed. But, if
the air pressure indicates less than the
required air pressure, correct the tire
pressure to the required air pressure. If
the tire pressure has dropped below
130 kPa (1.3 bar), the flat tire repair kit
cannot provide the necessary seal. Do
not use the tire and consult a SUZUKI
dealer or a roadside assistance service.
WA R N I N G
Do not affix the speed restriction
label to the air bag. Also do not affix
it to the warning light indicator or to
the speedometer.
WA R N I N G
Check the tire pressure and confirm
the completion o f the emergency
repair after 10 km (6 mile) of running.
NOTICE
Have the tire renewed at the nearest
SUZUKI dealer. When reusing the
sealed tire, consult a tire repair shop.
The wheel can be reused after wiping
sealant off completely with cloth in
order to prevent rust, but the tire
valve and tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) sensor (if equipped)
must be renewed.
Dispose of the sealant bottle at a
SUZUKI dealer or in accordance with
your regional codes and practices.
After using the seal ant bottle, replace
it with a new bottle from your SUZUKI
dealer.
