Failure to use the proper coolant can dam-
age your cooling system. An 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.
• Check that the proper mix is 50/50
coolant to distilled water and in no
case higher than 70/30. Concentra-
tions greater than 70/30 coolant to
distilled water will cause overheat-
ing 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 / CVT dam-
age.
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
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.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
NOTICE

may result in the possibility of freez-
ing and/or overheating coolant.
NOTICE
SUZUKI LLC: Standard (Green) cool-
ant;
• The mixture you use should con-
tain 50% concentration of anti-
freeze.
