2011 Suzuki Kizashi Service and Repair Manual

Year two brought new names: GTS and SLS became Sport GTS and Sport SLS, gaining a body kit, rear spoiler and lowered sport suspension, while S and SE carried on. Every 2011 Kizashi still used the 2.4L J24B four with a six-speed manual or CVT, and all-wheel drive stayed available. Suspension height and aero parts differ from the 2010 car, which is why this factory service and repair manual is tied to 2011 for its procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams, diagnostics and maintenance schedules.

Known issues on the 2011 Kizashi. Five recalls are on federal record: 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 two campaigns address the passenger seat occupant classification system, one for leather seat shrinkage and one for misclassifying an adult as a child and switching off the air bag. Twenty-two owner complaints are logged with NHTSA, most often about exterior lighting and the electrical system. The fuel system, air bag and transmission chapters of this manual carry the component locations, connector views and test steps behind that work.
