Gear Oil Level Check
The manual transaxle, transfer gears
(AWD A/T) and rear differential (AWD) are
lubricated with gear oil. To check the gear
oil level in any of the above locations, use
the following procedure:
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface. Set
parking brake and stop the engine.
2) Remove the oil filler plug (1).
3) Feel the inside of the hole with your fin-
ger. If the oil level comes up to the bot-
tom of the plug hole, the oil level is
correct. If so, reinstall the plug.
4) If the oil level is low, add gear oil
through the filler plug hole (1) until the
oil level reaches the bottom of the filler
hole.
Gear Oil Replacement
Since special procedures, materials and
tools are required to change the automatic
transaxle oil, it is recommended that you
trust this job to your authorized SUZUKI
dealer.
