Tightening torque for drain plug:
35 Nm (3.6 kg-m, 25.8 lb-ft)4) Reinstall the drain plug with new gas-
ket. Tighten the plug with a wrench to
the specif ied torque.
NOTE:
(For models with oil change request light)
• Whenever the engine oil is changed, the oil life monitoring must be reset to moni-
tor the next oil change timing properly.
To reset the light, consult your SUZUKI
dealer. If you reset it by yourself, refer to
“Setting mode” in “Inf ormation display” in
the “BEFORE DRIVING” section.
• For more information of the oil change request light and oil life monitoring, refer
to “Oil change request light” in the
“BEFORE DRIVING” section.
Oil filter replacement1) Using an oil filter wr ench, turn the oil fil-
ter counterclockwise and remove it.
2) Using a clean rag, wipe off the mount- ing surface on the engine where the
new filter will be seated.
3) Smear a small amount of engine oil around the rubber gasket of the new oil
filter.
4) Screw the new filter by hand until the fil- ter gasket contacts the mounting sur-
face.

Engine oil can be hazardous. Chil-
dren and pets may be harmed by
swallowing new or used oil. Keep
new and used oil and used oil filters
away from children and pets.
Repeated, prolonged contact with
used engine oil may cause skin can-
cer.
Brief contact with used oil may irri-
tate skin. (Continued)EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
To minimize your exposure to used
oil, wear a long-sleeve shirt and
moisture-proof gloves (such as dish-
washing gloves) when changing oil. If
oil contacts your skin, wash thor-
oughly with soap and water.
Launder any clothing or rags if it is
with oil.
Recycle or properly dispose of used
oil and oil filters.
7-37INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
75RM4-01E
NOTE:
• The fluid level can be expected to gradu-ally fall as the brake pad and/or shoe
wear.
• Brake fluid absorbs water over time and
brake fluid with high water content may
cause vapor lock or brake system mal-
function.
Replace your brake fluid in accordance
with the maintenance schedule in your
Owner’s Manual.Brake pedalCheck brake pedal stroke. If the stroke is
so large, have the brake system inspected
by your SUZUKI dealer. If you doubt the
brake pedal is at its normal height, check it
as follows:
54G108
Minimum distance between brake pedal
and floor carpet “a”: 73 mm (2.9 in.)
With the engine running, measure the dis-
tance between the brake pedal and floor
carpet when the pedal is depressed with
approximately 30 kg (66 lbs) of force. The
minimum distance required is as specified.
Since your vehicle’s brake system is self-
adjusting, there is no need for pedal
adjustment.
If the pedal to floor carpet distance as
measured above is less than the minimum
distance required, have your vehicle
inspected by your SUZUKI dealer.
NOTE:
When measuring the distance between the
brake pedal and floor wall, be sure not to
include the floor mat or rubber on the floor
wall in your measurement.
60G104S
WA R N I N G
Brake fluid is harmful or fatal if swal-
lowed, and harmful if it comes in con-
tact with skin or eyes. If swallowed,
do not induce vomiting. Immediately
contact a poison control center or a
physician. If brake fluid gets in eyes,
flush eyes with water and seek medi-
cal attention. Wash thoroughly after
handling. Solution can be poisonous
to animals. Keep out of reach of chil-
dren and animals.
WA R N I N G
If you experience any of the following
problems with your vehicle’s brake
system, have the vehicle inspected
immediately by your SUZUKI dealer.
• Poor braking performance
• Uneven braking (brakes not work- ing uniformly on all wheels.)
• Excessive pedal travel
• Brake dragging
• Excessive noise
