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.

from the point of contact with the
mounting surface (or to the specified
torque) using an oil filter wrench.
Tightening torque for oil filter:

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.

NOTICE
• When pulling out the ignition coils,
do not pull on the cable. Pulling on
the cable can damage it.
• When servicing the iridium/plati-
num spark plugs (slender center
electrode type plu gs), do not touch
the center electrode, as it is easy to
be damaged.EXAMPLE

NOTICE
• When installing the spark plugs,
screw them in with your fingers to
avoid stripping the threads.
Tighten the spark plugs with a
torque wrench to 18 Nm (1.8 kg-m,

nants to enter the engine through
the spark plug holes when the
plugs are removed.
• Never use spark plugs with the

1) Park the vehicle on a level surface with
the parking brake applied. Then, stop
the engine.
2) Remove the oil filler and level plug.
For the manual transaxle;
3) If gear oil flows from the plug hole, the
oil level is correct. Reinstall the plug. If
gear oil does not flow from the plug
hole, add oil through the filler plug hole
until oil flows a littl e from the plug hole.
For the transfer and rear differential;
3) Check the inside of the hole with your finger. If the oil level comes up to the
bottom of the plug hole, the oil level is
correct. If so, reinstall the plug.
4) If the oil level is low, add gear oil through the oil filler and level plug hole
until the oil level reaches the bottom of
the filler hole, and then reinstall the
plug.

Use genuine wheel nuts and tighten
them to the specified torque as soon
as possible after changing wheels.
Incorrect wheel nut s or improperly
tightened wheel nuts may come
loose or fall off, which can result in
an accident. If you do not have a
torque wrench, have the wheel nut

Seat belts are designed to bear upon
the bony structure of the body, and
should be worn low across the front
of the pelvis or the pelvis, chest and
shoulders, as applicable; wearing the
lap section of the belt across the
abdominal area must be avoided.
• Seat belts should be adjusted as
firmly as possible, consistent with
comfort, to provide the protection
for which they have been designed.
A slack belt will greatly reduce the
protection afforded to the wearer.
• Care should be taken to avoid con-
tamination of the webbing with pol-
ishes, oils and chemicals, and
particularly battery acid. Cleaning
may safely be carried out using
mild soap and water. The belt
should be replaced if webbing
becomes frayed, contaminated or
damaged. (Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• It is essential to replace the entire
assembly after it has been worn in
a severe impact even if damage to
the assembly is not obvious.
• Belts should not be worn with straps twisted.
• Each belt assembly must only be
used by one occupant; it is danger-
ous to put a belt around a child
being carried on the occupant’s
lap.
WA R N I N G
• No modifications or additionsshould be made by the user which
will either prevent the seat belt
adjusting devices from operating to
remove slack, or prevent the seat
belt assembly from being adjusted
to remove slack.
• Referring to the SEAT BELT instruction in this book, adjust the
seat belt so that the lap and sash
portions of the Seat Belt Assembly
fit as firmly as possible consistent
with comfort.
