WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Suzuki SX4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
Combining male and female fasteners with different thread pitches will damage both fasteners. It is important to note that, even when the nominal diameter (1) of the threads is the same, JIS-defined and ISO-defined fasteners may be different in thread pitch (2) or width across flats (3). Refer to the JIS-to-ISO Main Fasteners Comparison Table below for these differences. Before installing a fastener, check it for correct thread pitch and then, screw it in or on the mating fastener by hand. If the fastener is too tight to turn by hand, its thread pitch may be different from that of the mating fastener.

- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
