Clutch pedal
Fluid control clutch
78RB07011
Check the clutch pedal for smooth opera-
tion and clutch fluid level from time to time.
If clutch dragging is felt with the pedal fully
depressed, have the clutch inspected by a
SUZUKI dealer. If the clutch fluid level is
near “MIN” line, fill it up to “MAX” line with
DOT3 or SAE J1703 brake fluid.
Brakes
Brake fluid
78RB07011
Check the brake fluid level by looking at
the reservoir in the engine compartment.
Check that the fluid level is between “MAX”
and “MIN” lines.
CAUTION
After driving the vehicle, the gear oil
temperature may be high enough to
burn you. Wait until the oil filler and
level plug are cool enough to touch
with your bare hands before inspect-
ing gear oil level.
NOTICE
Be sure to use new plug with new gas-
ket to avoid looseness of the plug and
oil leakage.
NOTICE
If your brake fluid level is near the
“MIN” line, there is a possibility of
brake pad and/or shoe wear and
brake fluid leakage. Consult with a
SUZUKI dealer regarding this possi-
bility before filling the reservoir.
