INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Drive belt
A WARNING
When the engine is running, keep hands, hair, clothing, tools, etc. away from the moving fan and drive belts.
Check that the drive belt tension is correct while the engine is stopped. If the belt is too loose, insufficient battery charging, engine overheating, poor air conditioning, or excessive belt wear can result. When you push the belt with your thumb midpoint between the pulleys, there should be a deflection according to the following chart.
The belts should also be examined to ensure that they are not damaged.
If you need to replace or adjust the belt have it done by a SUZUKI dealer.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Oil level check

6-24
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
It is important to keep the engine oil at the correct level for proper lubrication of your vehicle's engine. Check the oil level with the vehicle on a level surface. The oil level indication may be inaccurate if the vehicle is on a slope. The oil level should be checked either before starting the engine or at least 5 minutes after stopping the
engine. The handle of the engine oil dipstick is colored with yellow for easy identification.
6-25
Pull out the oil dipstick, wipe the oil off with a clean cloth, insert the dipstick all the way into the engine, and then remove it again. The oil on the stick should be between the upper and lower limits shown on the stick. If the oil level indication is near the lower, limit, add enough oil to raise the level to the upper limit.
NOTICE
Failure to check the oil level regularly could lead to serious engine trouble due to insufficient oil.
Refilling
Open Close tr-------~,
• \lc----------,1/.
52RM60020
Remove the oil filler cap and pour oil slowly through the filler hole to bring the oil level to the upper limit on the dipstick. Be careful not to overfill the oil. Too much oil is almost as bad as too little oil. After refilling, start the engine and allow it to idle for about a minute. Stop the engine, wait about 5 minutes and check the oil level again.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Oil filler replacement
1) Using an oil filter wrench, turn the oil filter counterclockwise and remove ii. 2) Using a clean rag, wipe off the mounting 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 filter gasket contacts the mounting surface.

54G093
To tighten the oil filter properly, it is important to accurately identify the position at which the filter gasket first contacts the mounting surface.
5) 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)
NOTICE
To prevent oil leakage, check that the oil filter is tight, but do not overtighten it.
Refill with oil and oil leakage check
1) Pour oil through the filler hole and install the filler cap. For the approximate capacity of the oil, refer to "Recommended fuel / lubricants and capacities (approx.)" in "SPECIFICATIONS" 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 minutes. Check the oil level again and add oil if necessary. Check for leakage again.
NOTICE
When replacing the oil filter, it is recommended that you use a genuine SUZUKI replacement filter. If you use an aftermarket filter, check that it is of equivalent quality and follow the manufacturer's instructions. • 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 vehicle inspected by a SUZUKI dealer.
Engine coolant
Selection of coolant
NOTICE
SUZUKI LLC: Super (Blue) coolant; This coolant is already diluted to the proper percentage. Do not dilute with distilled water additionally. Doing so may result in the possibility of freezing and/or overheating coolant.
To maintain optimum performance and durability of your engine, use SUZUKI genuine coolant or equivalent.
NOTE: If you use the engine coolant other than the SUZUKI LLC: Super (Blue) for replacement, follow the schedule of SUZUKI LLC: Standard (Green). To see the detail of the maintenance schedule, refer to "Periodic maintenance schedule" in this section.
This type of coolant is the best for cooling system for the following reasons: • The coolant helps maintain proper engine temperature. It gives proper protection against freezing and boiling. It gives proper protection against corrosion and rust.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Failure to use the proper coolant can damage your cooling system. Your SUZUKI dealer can help you select the proper coolant.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging your cooling system: Always use a high quality ethylene glycol base non-silicate type coolant diluted with distilled water at the correct mixture concentration. Check that the proper mix is 50/50 coolant to distilled water and in no case higher than 70/30. Concentrations greater than 70/30 coolant to distilled water will cause overheating conditions. Do not use straight coolant nor plain water (except "SUZUKI LLC: Super {Blue)"). . • Do not add extra inhibitors or additives. They may not be compatible with your cooling system. Do not mix different types of base coolants. Doing so may result in accelerated seal wear and/or the possibility of severe overheating and extensive engine/automatic transmission damage.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
To check the gear oil level, use the following procedure:
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 transmission;
3) If gear oil fiows from the plug hole, the oil level is correct. Reinstall the plug. If gear oil does not fiow from the plug hole, add oil through the filler plug hole until oil fiows a little from the plug hole.

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.
