INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE 6) The handle of the CVT fluid dipstick is colored red or orange for easy identification. Remove the dipstick, clean it and push it back in until the cap seats. Pull out the dipstick and read the fluid level. The fluid level should be between the two marks in the "HOT" range on the dipstick. 7) Add just enough specified fluid through the dipstick hole to fill the transaxle to the proper level. It takes only 0.6 liters (1.27 US pt) for CVT to raise the level from "LOW" to "FULL". Brakes Brake Fluid EXAMPLE 65D477 WARNING Failure to follow the guidelines below can result in personal injury or serious damage to the brake system. • If the brake fluid in the reservoir drops below a certain level, the brake warning light on the instrument panel will come on (the engine must be running with the parking brake fully disengaged.) Should the light come on, immediately ask your SUZUKI dealer to inspect the brake system. • A rapid fluid loss indicates a leak in the brake system which should be inspected by your SUZUKI dealer immediately. • Brake fluid can harm your eyes and damage painted surfaces. Use caution when refilling the reservoir. (Continued) CAUTION After checking or adding oil, be sure to insert the dipstick securely. 57L71010 Deterioration Checking or Changing Fluid Since special procedures, materials and tools are required to check the deterioration of CVT fluid or change, it is recommended that you trust this job to your authorized SUZUKI dealer. Check the brake fluid level by looking at the reservoir in the engine compartment. Check that the fluid level is between the "MAX" and "MIN" lines. If the brake fluid level is near the "MIN" line, fill it up to the "MAX" line with SAE J1703 or DOT3 brake fluid. 7-25
