Specification
and
classification:
DOT 4
A WARNING
This
vehicle
uses
a
glycol-based brake fluid. Do not use or mix different types
of
brake fluid
such
as
silicone-based
and petroleum-based fluids for refilling the
system,
otherwise serious
damage will result to the brake
system.
Never use any brake fluid taken from old,
used,
or unsealed containers.
Never reuse brake fluid
left
over from the last servicing or which has been stored for
a
long
period of time.
ENGINE
COOLANT
Since antifreeze also has corrosion- and rust-inhibiting properties, always use engine coolant containing
antifreeze, even if the atmospheric temperature does not go below the freezing point.
Use an antifreeze designed for aluminum radiators.
SUZUKI
recommends the use
of
SUZUKI
COOLANT
antifreeze. If this is not available, use an equivalent antifreeze for aluminum radiators.
Mix only distilled water
with
the antifreeze. Other types of water can corrode and clog the aluminum radia-
tor.
Mix distilled water and antifreeze at a ratio of 50:50
-
40:60.
For more information, refer to page 6-5 in the Cooling System section.
