Windshield washer fluid Check that there is washer fiuid in the tank. Refill it if necessary. Use a good quality windshield washer fiuid, diluted with water
as necessary.
NOTE: SUZUKI highly recommends the use of ECSTAR brand windshield washer fluid. ECSTAR has been specially formulated for your SUZUKI product and contributes to the desired vehicle performance and ideal driving experience.
A WARNING
Do not use radiator antifreeze in the windshield washer reservoir. This can severely impair visibility when sprayed on the windshield, and also can damage your vehicle's paint.
NOTICE
Damage may result if the washer motor is operated with no fluid in the washer tank.

Air conditioning system
If you do not use the air conditioner for a long period, such as during winter, it may not give the best performance when you start using it again. To help maintain opti­mum performance and durability of your air conditioner, it needs to be run periodically. Operate the air conditioner at least once a month for one minute with the engine idling. This circulates the refrigerant and oil and helps protect the internal components.
Air conditioner filter replacement
Since special procedures are required, ask a SUZUKI dealer for this job.

(1) Boss
6) Position the jack vertically and raise the jack by turning the jack handle clock­wise until the jack head hole fits into the boss (1) of the body as the illustration. 7) Continue to raise the jack slowly and smoothly until the tyre clears the ground. Do not raise the vehicle more than necessary.
A WARNING
• Use the jack only to change wheels on level, hard ground. • Never jack up the vehicle on an inclined surface. • Never raise the vehicle with the jack in a location other than between the frame bosses near the wheel to be changed. • Make sure that the jack is raised at least 51 mm (2 inches) before it contacts the boss. Use of the jack when it is within 51 mm (2 inches) of being fully collapsed may result in failure of the jack. No person should place any por­tion of their body under a vehicle that is supported by a jack. • Never run the engine when the vehicle is supported by the jack and never allow passengers to remain in the vehicle.

EMERGENCY SERVICE
A. WARNING
Use genuine wheel nuts and tighten them to the specified torque as soon as possible after changing wheels. Incorrect wheel nuts 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 torque checked by a SUZUKI dealer.

Jump-starting instructions
A. WARNING
Never attempt to jump-start your vehicle if the lead-acid battery appears to be frozen. Batteries in this condition may explode. When making jump lead connec­tions, check that your hands and the jump leads remain clear from pulleys, belts or fans. Lead-acid 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. If the booster battery you use for jump-starting is installed in another vehicle, check that the two vehicles are not touching each other. If your lead-acid battery discharges repeatedly, for no apparent reason, have your vehicle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer. • To avoid harm to yourself or dam­age to your vehicle or battery, fol­low the jump-starting instructions below. If you are in doubt, call for qualified road service.
NOTICE
Your vehicle should not be started by pushing or towing. This starting method could result in permanent damage to the catalytic converter. Use jump leads to start a vehicle with a weak or flat battery.
1) Use only a 12-volt lead-acid battery to jump-start your vehicle. Position the good 12-volt lead-acid battery close to your vehicle so that the jump leads will reach both batteries. When using a bat­tery installed on another vehicle, check that two vehicles do not touch each other. Set the parking brakes fully on both vehicles. 2) Turn off all vehicle accessories, except those necessary for safety reasons (for example, headlights or hazard lights).

Engine trouble: Starter does
not operate
1) Try turning the ignition switch to "START" position 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 discharged or the battery terminal contact is poor. Recharge the lead-acid battery or correct battery terminal con­tact as necessary. 2) If the headlights remain bright, check the fuses. If the reason for failure of the starter is not obvious, there may be a major electrical problem. Have the vehi­cle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.
Engine trouble: Does not start
Make sure that your vehicle has enough · fuel and battery. If the engine does not start under very cold condition, press the accelerator pedal all the way to the fioor and hold it while crank­ing the engine. Refer to "Starting engine" in operating your vehicle section. If the engine still does not start have your vehicle inspected at a SUZUKI dealer. Do not operate the starter motor for more than 12 seconds.
EMERGENCY SERVICE
Engine trouble: Overheating
The engine could overheat temporarily under severe driving conditions. If the high engine coolant temperature warning light comes on as overheating or the engine coolant temperature gauge indicates over­heating during driving:
1) Turn off the air conditioner. 2) Take the vehicle to a safe place and park. 3) Run the engine at a normal idle speed for a few minutes until the high engine coolant temperature warning light goes off or the indicator is within the normal, acceptable temperature range between "H" and "C".
A WARNING
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.
