The Suzuki Jimny is a compact body-on-frame 4×4 built across four generations. Pick your generation below for the right service-reset, maintenance and DIY procedures: the second-generation SJ/Samurai (1981-1998), the long-running third-generation JB (1998-2018, sold in Europe with the 1.3 M13A petrol as the JB43), and the current fourth-generation JB74 (2018-present). Because the Jimny keeps a selectable 2WD/4WD transfer case and a simple analogue instrument cluster, most owner tasks — switching into four-wheel drive, checking tire pressures, changing a headlight bulb or jump-starting — are the same hands-on jobs across a whole generation.
