NOTE: ⓧ Maintenance items with "ⓧ" should be performed more frequently according to "Maintenance Under Severe Driving Conditions". 
  1. Periodic maintenance is not required. However, if valve noise increases, check valve clearance.
  2. Replace the drive belts if found damaged or if the auto belt tensioner reading reaches the maximum limit.
  3. Use Suzuki genuine coolant, or equivalent in its quality in order to avoid possible aluminum corrosion within the engine cooling system caused by the use of non-genuine engine coolant. After first replacement, replace every 40, 000 km (24, 000 miles) or 24 months.
  4. Fuel filter is maintenance-free. For service procedures, refer to FUEL SYSTEM .
