6) The handle of the CVT fluid dipstick is
colored red or orange for easy identifi-
cation.
Remove the dipstick, clean it and push
it back in until the cap seats. Pull out
the dipstick and read the fluid level.
The fluid level should be between the
two marks in the “HOT” range on the
dipstick.
7) Add just enough specified fluid through
the dipstick hole to fill the transaxle to
the proper level. It takes only 0.6 liters
(1.27 US pt) for CVT to raise the level
from “LOW” to “FULL”.
Deterioration Checking or Chang-
ing Oil
Since special procedures, materials and
tools are required to check the deteriora-
tion of CVT oil or change, it is recom-
mended that you trust this job to your
authorized SUZUKI dealer.

Check the brake fluid level by looking at
the reservoir in the engine compartment.
Check that the fluid level is between the
“MAX” and “MIN” lines. If the brake fluid
level is near the “MIN” line, fill it up to the
“MAX” line with SAE J1703 or DOT3 brake
fluid.

CAUTION
After checking or adding oil, be sure
to insert the dipstick securely.
EXAMPLE
WARNING
Failure to follow the guidelines below
can result in personal injury or seri-
ous damage to the brake system.
• If the brake fluid in the reservoir
drops below a certain level, the
brake warning light on the instru-
ment panel will come on (the
engine must be running with the
parking brake fully disengaged.)
Should the light come on, immedi-
ately ask your SUZUKI dealer to
inspect the brake system.
• A rapid fluid loss indicates a leak in
the brake system which should be
inspected by your SUZUKI dealer
immediately.
• Brake fluid can harm your eyes and
damage painted surfaces. Use cau-
tion when refilling the reservoir.
