Where to go for maintenance ser-
vice?
In order to maintain your vehicle in the
best possible condition, Suzuki recom-
mends that maintenance service opera-
tions as well as other inspections and
repairs be carried out by a SUZUKI
dealer or a qualified workshop. For
repairs and services covered by your
warranty, please visit an authorized
Suzuki retailer or repairer, who will use
genuine Suzuki parts in repairing any
difficulties you may encounter. There
can also be advantages in utilizing
authorized Suzuki retailers or repairers
for non-warranty repairs and services,
as members of the Suzuki network will
be able to expertly assist you with any
difficulties you may encounter.
Your SUZUKI dealer or a qualified work-
shop will perform all of the scheduled
maintenance on your vehicle reliably
and economically due to their experi-
ence with Suzuki vehicles.
Scheduled maintenance should be
performed at specified intervals
according to the maintenance
schedule.
For full details of your maintenance
schedule, refer to the “Warranty and
service record booklet”.
What about do-it-yourself mainte-
nance?
Many maintenance items are easy to
do yourself if you have a little mechani-
cal ability and a few basic automotive
tools.
Note, however, that some maintenance
tasks require special tools and skills.
These are best performed by qualified
technicians. Even if you’re an experi-
enced do-it-yourself mechanic, we rec-
ommend that repairs and maintenance
be conducted by a SUZUKI dealer or a
qualified workshop. Any authorized
Suzuki retailer or repairer will keep a
record of maintenance, which could be
useful should you ever require War-
ranty Service. Should you choose to
select a qualified and equipped profes-
sional other than an authorized Suzuki
repairer to service or maintain your
vehicle, we recommend that you
request that a record of maintenance
