INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
54P00-01E
If the coolant level is below “LOW” mark,
more coolant should be added. When the
engine is cool, remove the degassing tank
cap by turning it counterclockwise slowly to
release any pressure. And add coolant
until the degassing tank level reaches
“FULL” mark. Never fill the degassing tank
above “FULL” mark.
Coolant replacement
Since special procedures are required, ask
your authorized SUZUKI dealer for this job.
Air cleaner
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there
will be greater intake resistance, resulting
in decreased power output and increased
fuel consumption.

under pressure. Wait until the coolant
temperature has lowered before
removing the cap.
NOTICE
