2010 Suzuki Kizashi Service and Repair Manual

Launched for 2010 as Suzuki's first midsize sedan, the Kizashi arrived with a 2.4L J24B four-cylinder, a six-speed manual or CVT, and optional all-wheel drive. The debut line-up ran S, SE, GTS and SLS, before the upper two were renamed Sport GTS and Sport SLS the following year. First-year cars carry some unique parts and recall work, so this service and repair manual is matched to the 2010 sedan, supplying procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams, diagnostics and maintenance schedules for both drivetrains.

Known issues on the 2010 Kizashi. Six recalls are on federal record. Cars built through May 31, 2010 have a center lower dash box door that may open in a crash; spiders could block the evaporative canister vent hose and dust could clog the canister fresh-air line, both of which can crack the fuel tank from negative pressure; the shift selector could leave Park without the brake pedal pressed; and the passenger seat occupant classification system could misread the occupant, either because leather shrinks in heat and humidity or because it deactivates the air bag for an adult, which accounts for the remaining two campaigns. Twenty-three owner complaints are logged with NHTSA, led by power train and electrical reports. The fuel system, air bag and transmission chapters of this manual carry the component locations, connector views and test steps behind that work.
