SERVICE AND APPEARANCE CARE Service Your dealer knows your vehicle best and wants you to be happy with it. We hope you will go to your dealer for all your service and parts needs. California Proposition 65 Warning Most motor vehicles, including this one, contain and/or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Engine exhaust, many parts and systems (including some inside the vehicle), many fluids, and some component wear by-products contain and/or emit these chemicals. Doing Your Own Service Work WARNING You can be injured and your vehicle could be damaged if you try to do service work on a vehicle without knowing enough about it. • Be sure you have sufficient knowledge, experience, the proper replacement parts, and tools before you attempt any vehicle maintenance task. • Be sure to use the proper nuts, bolts, and other fasteners. English and metric fasteners can be easily confused. If you use the wrong fasteners, parts can later break or fall off. You could be hurt. If you want to do some of your own service work, you will want to use the proper service manual. It tells you much more about how to service your vehicle than this manual can. Your vehicle has an airbag system. Before attempting to do your own service work, refer to "Servicing Your Airbag-Equipped Vehicle" in "Airbag System" in the "Seats and Restraint Systems" section. You should keep a record with all parts receipts and list the mileage and the date of any service work you perform. Refer to "Maintenance Record" in "Maintenance Accessories and Modifications When you add non-Suzuki accessories to your vehicle they can affect your vehicle's performance and safety, including such things as, airbags, braking, stability, ride and handling, emissions systems, aerodynamics, durability, and electronic systems like anti-lock brakes, traction control, and stability control. Some of these accessories may even cause malfunction or damage not covered by warranty. Suzuki accessories are designed to complement and function with other systems on your vehicle. Your Suzuki dealer can accessorize your vehicle using genuine Suzuki accessories. When you go to your Suzuki dealer and ask for Suzuki accessories, you will know that Suzuki-trained and supported service technicians will perform the work using genuine Suzuki accessories. Also refer to "Adding Equipment to your Airbag-Equipped Vehicle" in "Airbag System" in the "Seat and Restraint Systens" section. California Perchlorate Materials Requirements Certain types of automotive applications, such as airbag initiators, seat belt pretensioners, and lithium batteries contained in remote keyless entry transmitters, may contain perchlorate materials. Special handling may be necessary. For additional information, see www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/ perchlorate. 5-1
