INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Failure to use the proper coolant can dam-
age your cooling system. Your authorized
SUZUKI dealer can help you select the
proper coolant.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging your cooling sys-
tem:
• Always use a high quality ethylene
glycol base non-silicate type cool-
ant diluted with distilled water at
the correct mixture concentration.
• Make sure that the proper mix is 50/
50 coolant to distilled water and in
no case higher than 70/30. Concen-
trations greater than 70/30 coolant
to distilled water will cause over-
heating conditions.
• Do not use straight coolant nor
plain water (except SUZUKI LLC:
Super (Blue)).
• Do not add extra inhibitors or addi-
tives. 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
transaxle damage.

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
the "FULL" and "LOW" marks.
Adding Coolant
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.
• If coolant gets in the eyes, flush
with water and seek medical atten-
tion.
• Wash thoroughly after handling
coolant.
• Keep engine coolant out of the
reach of children and pets.
NOTICE
SUZUKI LLC: Super (Blue) coolant;
SUZUKI LLC: Super (Blue) coolant is
already diluted to the proper percent-
age. Do not dilute with distilled water
additionally. Doing so may result in
the possibility of freezing coolant
and/or overheating.
NOTICE
SUZUKI LLC: Standard (Green) cool-
ant;
• The mixture you use should con-
tain 50% concentration of anti-
freeze.
• If the lowest ambient temperature
in your area is expected to be –
35°C (–31°F) or below, use higher
concentrations up to 60% following
the instructions on the antifreeze
container.
