Replying to: kc5yti (Jul 31, 2007 3:34 pm) Thanks for the links. I didn't have my manual handy so I looked at the '07 owner's manual for my minivan (seems like you can look at owner's manuals online for free for almost every car except Suzuki).   Anyway, it says let the engine idle for 30 seconds after starting and don't race the engine. Drive at moderate speed for a short distance first. And use caution when shifting when cold since cold engine idle speed is high. I suspect the Suzuki one is similar.   I'm guilty of rarely using my parking brake either btw. I did use it today while messing around in the garage and then wound up driving 2 miles before I realized it was on.
#24 of 80 2006 XL7 automatic headlights by steven46 Oct 08, 2007 (10:04 am)
Do these have them? I hate to seem ignorant of this but my Wife, who is the only one who drives it, say that the tailights and interior lights such as the shifter plate lights and ac control lights dont come on at night. I got in it today and the switch on the turn siganl was on the "off" position. Is it suppose to be there at all times? I turned it one notch and all the lights came on inside and out. but when you turn of the ignition it dings until you trun it back to the off position. What position should that be in for automatic headlights? If it even has it? Thanks

I'm looking to upgrade. Thanks! Replies to this message: kbrown1999 (Dec 27, 2007 3:40 pm) kc5yti (Feb 12, 2008 9:54 pm)

Replying to: bosco729 (Nov 19, 2007 1:20 pm) Go to a Michelin dealer and ask them if they sell "Blue Streak" tires in that size. I put these tires on my wife's 02' and they have been great.They are a off brand of Michelin. I would NOT go with any other size, it will affect the handling. These tires only cost me $65 a piece. Any other brand is at least $110 a piece. This size of a tire is more of a performance tires so it is hard to find one with a more aggresive trend. If you have the factory Bridgestones- get rid of them. They wear too quick and are junk!
#28 of 80 XL7 4x4 not engaging by rjn2 Dec 28, 2007 (12:34 pm)
Could someone Please help on ideas? My wife has a 2002 XL7 4x4. She said the 4x4 started not engaging, some times would sometimes not. Now it’s not engaging at all. I got underneath; put it in 4 wheel drive and the front drive shaft hooks up, turn the front drive shaft, the rear one turns and the back wheels roll but not the front.

Replying to: rjn2 (Dec 28, 2007 12:34 pm) Make sure the tire pressures are the same for both sides of the same axle. For example both front tires at 26psi and both rear tires at 32 psi. It is very common in the cold weather for pressures to differ. The tire pressure must match on the SAME axle or else the tires rotate at different speeds. This cause your part-time 4wd to bind up and experience problems like you are having.   Hope this helps.
#30 of 80 Gears grinding by clb333 Dec 31, 2007 (8:24 am)
I have a 2002 Suzuki XL7 4x4. A few weeks ago I had trouble getting it into reverse and almost everytime I go to put it in reverse it grinds, and the past couple of days it has had trouble starting. It is almost like something is spinning but not catching. Any ideas?
#31 of 80 Service Engine Soon Light by winchesteraime Jan 01, 2008 (12:29 pm)
I am new to this forum, I own a 02 XL-7, it has been working great. Today the service engine light came on, I just recently had an oil change so I am not sure why. Unfortunately, I purchased the car without the owner's manual. Please if someone could tell me some of the issues that could cause this light to go on, also where is it possible to get a new manual? I checked on the Suzuki website and I could only get a manual as far back as 03. Thank you for any help.

Replying to: winchesteraime (Jan 01, 2008 12:29 pm) I am having the same problem they say in the manual that it comes on when the emission control system needs servicing my mechanic could not find where to connect their computer to it not only that but their new computer did not even have suzuki listed so it looks like a dealer run to me
