Factory Suzuki Kizashi Workshop Manual (2009-2015, RE91 Platform)
The Kizashi was Suzuki’s most ambitious sedan – a mid-size performance-leaning car with the 2.4L J24B engine, available six-speed manual, and i-AWD all-wheel drive. It’s a rare find on the used market, which makes this factory workshop manual especially valuable: parts and service knowledge aren’t as widespread as they are for Swift or Alto. This manual is the exact document Suzuki dealers used to service the Kizashi from 2009 through its 2015 end-of-life.
Who This Manual Is For
Kizashi owners doing home-garage work, independent shops supporting orphaned Suzuki sedans in the US and Canada, and enthusiasts modifying the J24B or rebuilding the CVT. LHD and RHD both covered, with trim-level specifications for S, SE, SLS, and GTS clearly called out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are parts still available for the Suzuki Kizashi?
Most mechanical parts (engine, transmission, brakes, suspension) are still available through Suzuki’s parts supply chain and aftermarket channels. Body panels and trim-specific items are harder to source. This manual’s parts-identification diagrams help track down exact part numbers for cross-referencing.
Is the Kizashi CVT reliable?
The Jatco JF011E is generally reliable when the fluid is changed on schedule (Suzuki specifies ~60k miles; many owners go more frequent). Failure cases are usually traceable to missed fluid service. This manual’s CVT chapter covers full fluid service, valve body inspection, and fault code diagnosis.
Does this cover the i-AWD system?
Yes. The Kizashi’s i-AWD (intelligent all-wheel-drive) system has a dedicated chapter covering the rear electronic coupling, differential fluid service, and AWD control module diagnostics.
Is the 6-speed manual version covered?
Yes – the 6-speed manual gearbox behind the J24B is fully covered with clutch replacement, gear selector linkage, and gearbox fluid specs.
