Avoid driving in a flooded area or a deep
puddle. If driving in a flooded area is
unavoidable, go slowly in the lowest gear.
In case that you have driven in a flooded
area, stop the vehicle in a safe place while
checking the brake effectiveness. Then,
ask a SUZUKI dealer or a qualified work-
shop to check the following inspection
items.
• Function of brake
• Function of electrical components
• Changes of oil level and quality for
engine, transmission and differential. In
case that the oil is turbid whitely, water
has been mixed in the oil and an oil
change is required.
• Lubricant condition of the bearings, sus-
pension joints, etc.
NOTICE
Avoid driving in a flooded area or a
deep puddle. It may cause an engine
stall, short in electrical components,
