INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

Continuously Variable
Transaxle (CVT) Fluid
Specified Fluid
Use a CVT fluid SUZUKI CVT FLUID
GREEN-1 or Shell GREEN-1V.
Fluid Level Check
You must check the fluid level with the CVT
fluid at normal operating temperature.
To check the fluid level:
1) To warm up the CVT fluid, drive the
vehicle or idle the engine until the tem-
perature gauge indicates normal oper-
ating temperature.
2) Then drive for ten more minutes.
NOTE:
Do not check the fluid level if you have just
driven the vehicle for a long time at high
speed, or if you have driven in city traffic in
hot weather. Wait until the fluid cools down
(about 30 minutes), or the fluid level indica-
tion will not be correct.
3) Park your vehicle on level ground.
4) Apply the parking brake and then start
the engine in “P” (Park). Let it idle for
two minutes and keep it running during
the fluid level check.
5) With your foot on the brake pedal, move
the gearshift lever through each gear,
pausing for about three seconds in
each range. Then move it back to the
“P” (Park) position.
