INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
78RB1-01E
NOTE:
SUZUKI highly recommends the use of
ECSTAR brand coolant. ECSTAR has
been specially formulated for your SUZUKI
product and contributes to the desired
vehicle performance and ideal driving
experience.
Coolant level check
Check the coolant level at the reservoir
tank, not at the radiator. With the engine
cool, the coolant level should be between
“FULL” and “LOW” marks.
Adding coolant
78RB07005
If the coolant level is below “LOW” mark,
coolant should be added. While the engine
is cool, remove the reservoir tank cap and
add coolant until the reservoir tank level
reaches “FULL” mark. Never fill the reser-
voir tank above “FULL” mark.
Coolant replacement
Since special procedures are required, ask
a SUZUKI dealer for this job.
WARNING
Swallowing engine coolant can cause
severe injury or death. Inhaling cool-
ant mist or vapors or getting coolant
in your eyes could result in severe
injury.
• Do not drink antifreeze or coolant
solution. If swallowed, do not
induce vomiting. Immediately con-
tact a poison control center or a
physician.
• Avoid inhaling coolant mist or hot
vapors. If inhaled, remove to a
fresh air area.
