B R A K E FLUID
Specification and classification: DOT 4
A WARNING
This vehicle uses a glycol-based brake fluid. Do not use or mix different types of brake fluid
such as silicone-based and petroleum-based fluids for refilling the system, otherwise serious
damage will result to the brake system.
Never use any brake fluid taken from old, used, or unsealed containers.
Never reuse brake fluid left over from the last servicing or which has been stored for a long
period of time.

ENGINE COOLANT

Since antifreeze also has corrosion- and rust-inhibiting properties, always use engine coolant containing
antifreeze, even if the atmospheric temperature does not go below the freezing point.
Use an antifreeze designed for aluminum radiators. SUZUKI recommends the use of SUZUKI COOLANT
antifreeze. If this is not available, use an equivalent antifreeze for aluminum radiators.
Mix only distilled water with the antifreeze. Other types of water can corrode and clog the aluminum radia-
tor.
Mix distilled water and antifreeze at a ratio of 50:50 - 40:60.
