Security System (if equipped)The security system is armed in about 5seconds after you lock all doors (includingthe tailgate) by using the keyless entry sys-tem transmitter.Once the system is armed, any attempt toopen a door by using any other means (*)than the keyless entry system transmitter,or open the engine hood, will cause thealarm to be triggered.* These means include the following:

– The key– The lock knob on a door– The central door locking switch

Also, in case that you have set the shocksensor to enabled state and set sensitivityof the pre-warning function and full blastwarning function to a level other than 0, thealarm will be triggered if any attempt totamper with the vehicle. The shock sensorcan be selected enabled or disabled state,and sensitivity of each warning can beadjusted as desired. To set the shock sen-sor, ask your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer oruse the setting mode of the informationdisplay.

NOTE:• The default setting of the shock sensor

is in the disabled state. Set to theenabled state and adjust sensitivity ofeach warning according to your prefer-ence. For details on how to use the infor-mation display, refer to “InformationDisplay” in this section.

• Your dealer may have already set theshock sensor of the vehicle to theenabled state before you purchase it.Consult your dealer for further informa-tion.

NOTE:• The security system generates alarms

when any of the predetermined condi-tions is met. However, the system doesnot have any function of blocking unau-thorized entry into the vehicle.

• Always use the keyless entry systemtransmitter to unlock the doors when thesecurity system has been armed. Usinga key instead will trigger the alarm.

• If a person who does not know the secu-rity system is going to drive the vehicle,we recommend you explain the systemand its operation to the person, or dis-able the system beforehand. Mistakenlytriggering the alarm may cause a nui-sance to others.

• Even if the security system is armed,you should still be careful to guardagainst theft. Do not leave money orthings of value in the vehicle.

How to arm the security system (when enabled)Lock all doors (including the tailgate) usingthe keyless entry system transmitter. Thesecurity system indicator (1) will start blink-ing rapidly, and the security system will bearmed in about 5 seconds.While the system is being armed, the indi-cator continues to blink at intervals ofapproximately 2 seconds.

NOTE:• To prevent the alarm from being acci-

dentally triggered, avoid arming it whileanyone remains inside the vehicle. Thealarm will be triggered if any personinside opens the door or engine hood, orswings the vehicle (if the shock sensor isin the enabled state).

• The security system is not armed whenall doors are locked using the key fromoutside, or using the door lock knobs orthe central door locking switch frominside.

• If any door is not operated within approx-imately 30 seconds after the doors havebeen unlocked using the keyless entrysystem transmitter, the doors are auto-matically locked again. When the doorsare locked, the security system will be

armed in about 5 seconds if the systemis in the enabled state.

• If the security system indicator (1) blinkswhen the ignition switch is in the “ON”position, there may be something wrongwith the security system. Ask your MAR-UTI SUZUKI dealer to inspect the sys-tem.

How to disarm the security systemSimply unlock the doors using the keylessentry system transmitter. The security sys-tem indicator will go out, indicating that thesecurity system is disarmed.

How to stop the alarmShould the alarm be triggered accidentally,unlock the doors using the keyless entrysystem transmitter, or insert the key in theignition switch and turn it to “ON” position.The alarm will then stop.

NOTE:• Even after the alarm has stopped, if you

lock the doors using the keyless entrysystem transmitter, the security systemwill be rearmed with a delay of about 5seconds.

• If you disconnect the battery while thesecurity system is in the armed conditionor the alarm is actually in operation, thealarm will be re-triggered when the bat-tery is then reconnected.

• Even after the alarm has stopped at theend of the predetermined operation time,it will be triggered again if any of thedoors or engine hood is opened, or the

vehicle feels a shock (if the shock sen-sor is in the enabled state), without dis-arming the security system.

Checking whether the alarm has beentriggered during parkingIf the alarm was triggered and you thenturn the ignition switch to “ON” position, thesecurity system indicator will blink rapidlyfor about 8 seconds and a buzzer will beep4 times during this period. If this happens,check whether the vehicle has been bro-ken into while you were away from it.

Enabling and disabling the securitysystemThe security system can be either enabledor disabled.

When enabled• If any of the doors are opened without

unlocking by the keyless entry systemtransmitter, all turn signal lights start toblink and the interior buzzer beeps inter-mittently. After 5 seconds, the siren willsound for about 27.5 seconds. The secu-rity system indicator continues to blinkduring this time.

• If the engine hood is opened, all turn sig-nal lights blink, and the siren sounds forabout 27.5 seconds. The security sys-tem indicator continues to blink duringthis time.

(If the shock sensor is in the enabled state)• If the vehicle feels a shock, the siren

sounds for about 2 seconds (pre-warn-ing). If the vehicle continues to feel a

Front air bags are designed to inflate insevere frontal collisions when the ignitionswitch is in the “ON” position.

Front air bags are not designed to inflate inrear impacts, side impacts, rollovers orminor frontal collisions, since they wouldoffer no protection in those types of acci-dents. Remember, since an air bagdeploys only one time during an accident,seat belts are needed to restrain occu-pants from further movements during theaccident.

Therefore, an air bag is NOT a substitutefor seat belts. To maximize your protection,ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEAT BELTS. Beaware that no system can prevent all pos-sible injuries that may occur in an accident.

Driver’s front air bag (if equipped)

76MH0A033

Front passenger’s front air bag (if equipped)

76MH0A034

The driver’s front air bag is located behindthe center pad of the steering wheel andthe front passenger’s front air bag islocated behind the passenger’s side of thedashboard. The words “SRS AIRBAG” are molded intothe air bag covers to identify the location ofthe air bags.

80J107

• Collision angle is offset from the vehicleangle (offset collision)

How the system worksIn a frontal collision, the crash sensors willdetect rapid deceleration, and if the control-ler judges that the deceleration represents asevere frontal crash, the controller will trig-ger the inflators. The inflators inflate the airbags with nitrogen or argon gas. Theinflated air bags provide a cushion for yourhead and upper body. The air bag inflatesand deflates so quickly that you may noteven realize that it has activated. The airbag will neither hinder your view nor make itharder to exit the vehicle.

Air bags must inflate quickly and forcefully inorder to reduce the chance of serious orfatal injuries. However, an unavoidable con-sequence of the quick inflation is that the airbag may irritate bare skin, such as the facialarea. Also, upon inflation, a loud noise willoccur and some powder and smoke will bereleased. These conditions are not harmfuland do not indicate a fire in the vehicle. Beaware, however, that some air bag compo-nents may be hot for a while after inflation.

A seat belt helps keep you in the properposition for maximum protection when an airbag inflates. Adjust your seat as far back aspossible while still maintaining control of thevehicle. Sit fully back in your seat; sit upstraight; do not lean over the steering wheelor dashboard. Please refer to the “FrontSeat” section and the “Seat Belts and ChildRestraint Systems” section in this sectionfor details on proper seat and seat beltadjustments.

WARNING• The driver should not lean over the

steering wheel. The front passen-ger should not rest his or her bodyagainst the dashboard, or other-wise get too close to the dash-board. In these situations, the out-of-position occupant would be tooclose to an inflating air bag, andmay suffer severe injury.

• Do not attach any objects to, orplace any objects over, the steeringwheel or dashboard. Do not placeany objects between the air bagand the driver or front passenger.These objects may interfere with airbag operation or may be propelledby the air bag in the event of acrash. Either of these conditionsmay cause severe injury.

76MH1-74E

Note that even though your vehicle may bemoderately damaged in a frontal collision,the collision may not have been severeenough to trigger the air bags to inflate. Ifyour vehicle sustains ANY front-end dam-age, have the air bag system inspected byan authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer toensure it is in proper working order.

Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnosticmodule which records information aboutthe air bag system if the air bags deploy ina crash. The module records informationabout overall system status, which sensorsactivated the deployment, and for a certainvehicle only, whether the driver’s seat beltwas in use.

Servicing the air bag systemIf the air bags inflate, have the air bags andrelated components replaced by an autho-rized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer as soon aspossible.

If your vehicle ever gets in deep water andthe driver’s floor is submerged, the air bagcontroller could be damaged. If it does,have the air bag system inspected by theMARUTI SUZUKI dealer as soon as possi-ble.

Special procedures are required for servic-ing or replacing an air bag. For that reason,only an authorized MARUTI SUZUKIdealer should be allowed to service orreplace your air bags. Please remind any-

one who services your vehicle that it hasair bags.

Service on or around air bag componentsor wiring must be performed only by anauthorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.Improper service could result in unin-tended air bag deployment or could renderthe air bag inoperative. Either of these twoconditions may result in severe injury.

To prevent damage or unintended inflationof the air bag system, be sure the batteryis disconnected and the ignition switch hasbeen in the “LOCK” position for at least 90seconds before performing any electricalservice work on your vehicle. Do not touchair bag system components or wires. Thewires are wrapped with yellow tape or yel-low tubing, and the couplers are yellow foreasy identification.

Scrapping a vehicle that has an uninflatedair bag can be hazardous. Ask your dealer,body repair shop or scrap yard for helpwith disposal.

Warning and Indicator LightsBrake System Warning Light

65D477

Three different types of operations existdepending on the vehicle’s specification.

1) The light comes on briefly when theignition switch is turned to the “ON”position.

2) The light comes on when the parkingbrake is engaged with the ignitionswitch in the “ON” position.

3) The light comes on when under eitheror both of above two conditions.

The light also comes on when the fluid inthe brake fluid reservoir falls below thespecified level.The light should go out after starting theengine and fully releasing the parkingbrake, if the fluid level in the brake fluid res-ervoir is adequate.The light also comes on together with theABS warning light when the rear brakeforce control function (proportioning valvefunction) of the ABS system fails.If the brake system warning light comes onwhile you are driving the vehicle, it maymean that there is something wrong with

the vehicle’s brake system. If this happens,you should:

1) Pull off the road and stop carefully.

2) Test the brakes by carefully starting andstopping at the side of the road.

– If you determine that it is safe, drivecarefully at low speed to the nearestdealer for repairs, or

– Have the vehicle towed to the nearestdealer for repairs.

EXAMPLE

WARNINGRemember that stopping distancemay be longer, you may have to pushharder on the pedal, and the pedalmay go down farther than normal.

WARNINGIf any of the following conditionsoccur, you should immediately askyour MARUTI SUZUKI dealer toinspect the brake system.• If the brake system warning light

does not go out after the enginehas been started and the parkingbrake has been fully released.

• If the brake system warning lightdoes not come on when the igni-tion switch is turned to the “ON”position.

Daily Inspection ChecklistBefore Driving

60A187S

1) Make sure that windows, mirrors, lights,and reflectors are clean and unob-structed.

2) Visually check the tires for the followingpoints:

– the depth of the tread groove– abnormal wear, cracks and damage– loose wheel nuts– existence of foreign material such as

nails, stones, etc.Refer to “Tires” in “INSPECTION ANDMAINTENANCE” section for details.3) Look for fluid and oil leaks.

WARNINGAvoid breathing exhaust gases.Exhaust gases contain carbon mon-oxide, a potentially lethal gas that iscolorless and odorless. Since carbonmonoxide is difficult to detect byitself, be sure to take the followingprecautions to help prevent carbonmonoxide from entering your vehicle.• Do not leave the engine running in

garages or other confined areas.(Continued)

WARNING(Continued)• Do not park with the engine run-

ning for a long period of time, evenin an open area. If it is necessary tosit for a short time in a parked vehi-cle with the engine running, makesure the air intake selector is set to“FRESH AIR” and the fan is at highspeed.

• Avoid operating the vehicle withthe tailgate or trunk open. If it isnecessary to operate the vehiclewith the tailgate or trunk open,make sure the sunroof (if equipped)and all windows are closed, and theblower is at high speed with the airintake selector set to “FRESH AIR”.

• To allow proper operation of yourvehicle’s ventilation system, keepthe air inlet grille in front of thewindshield clear of snow, leaves, orother obstructions at all times.

• Keep the exhaust tailpipe area clearof snow and other material to helpreduce the buildup of exhaustgases under the vehicle. This isparticularly important when parkedin blizzard conditions.

• Have the exhaust system inspectedperiodically for damage and leaks.Any damage or leaks should berepaired immediately.

NOTE:It is normal for water to drip from the airconditioning system after use.

4) Make sure the hood is fully closed andlatched.

5) Check the headlights, turn signal lights,brake lights and horn for proper opera-tion.

6) Adjust the seat and head restraint(if equipped).

7) Check the brake pedal and the parkingbrake lever.

8) Adjust the mirrors.9) Make sure that you and all passengers

have properly fastened your seat belts.10)Make sure that all warning lights come

on as the key is turned to the “ON” posi-tion.

11)Check all gauges.12)Make sure that the BRAKE SYSTEM

WARNING light turns off when theparking brake is released.

Once a week, or each time you fill your fueltank, perform the following under-hoodchecks:

1) Engine oil level2) Coolant level3) Brake fluid level4) Windshield washer fluid level5) Battery solution level6) Hood latch operation

Pull the hood release handle inside thevehicle. Make sure that you cannotopen the hood all the way without

releasing the secondary latch. Be sureto close the hood securely after check-ing for proper latch operation. See “Alllatches, hinges & locks” of “CHASSISAND BODY” in the “Periodic Mainte-nance Schedule” in the “INSPECTIONAND MAINTENANCE” section for lubri-cation schedule.

Once a month, or each time you fill yourfuel tank, check the tire pressure using atire pressure gauge. Also check the tirepressure of the spare tire.

Engine Oil ConsumptionIt is normal for the engine to consumesome engine oil during normal vehicleoperation.

The amount of engine oil consumeddepends on the viscosity of the oil, thequality of the oil and the conditions thevehicle is driven under.More oil is consumed during high-speeddriving and when there is frequent acceler-ation and deceleration. Under high loads,your engine also will consume more oil.A new engine also consumes more oil,since its pistons, piston rings and cylinder

walls have not yet become conditioned.New engines reach the normal level of oilconsumption only after approximately 5000km (3000 miles) driving.

Oil consumption: Max. 1.0 L per 1000 km (1 Qt. per 600 miles)

When judging the amount of oil consump-tion, note that the oil may become dilutedand make it difficult to accurately judge thetrue oil level.As an example, if a vehicle is used forrepeated short trips, and consumes a nor-mal amount of oil, the dipstick may notshow any drop in the oil level at all, evenafter 1000 km (600 miles) or more of driv-ing. This is because the oil is graduallybecoming diluted with fuel or moisture,making it appear that the oil level has notchanged.You should also be aware that the dilutingingredients evaporate out when the vehicleis subsequently driven at high speeds,such as on an expressway, making itappear that oil is excessively consumedafter high-speed driving.

WARNINGMake sure the hood is fully closedand latched before driving. If it is not,it can fly up unexpectedly duringdriving, obstructing your view andresulting in an accident.

Creeping functionThis vehicle has a creeping function thathelps the vehicle to start smoothly byengaging the clutch. When the gearshiftlever is in any of the positions “D”, “M” or“R”, and you release your foot from thebrake pedal, the vehicle starts slowly with-out depressing the accelerator pedal. Thecreeping function is disabled if you depressthe brake pedal or pull up the parkingbrake lever.

NOTE:If the driver’s door is opened and/or theparking brake lever is engaged with thegear in the “M”, “D” or “R” position, thecreeping function will not operate.

Parking and Stopping the vehicleAuto Gear Shift does not have a parkingposition. The vehicle can be parked withthe gearshift lever in any position. Whenstopping the vehicle, the gear will beshifted to 1st.

Drive (D) modeWhen the Drive (D) mode is activated, themost appropriate gear position is automati-cally selected upon operation of the accel-erator pedal and variation of vehicle speed.

Normal driving:1) Start the engine as instructed in “Start-

ing the engine” in this section.2) With your foot on the brake pedal, shift

the gearshift lever to the “D” position.When the gearshift lever is shifted tothe “D” position, the gear will be shiftedto 1st.

76MH0A057

NOTE:• If 1st gear cannot be engaged even

though the gearshift lever has beenshifted from the “N” to the “D” position,the system will re-try shifting automati-cally. This will take some time, noisemay be heard from the gears, and shift-ing gear shock may occur. However,they do not indicate a malfunction.

• The “N” indicator will flash, the depressbrake pedal indicator will come on and awarning buzzer (long pulse sound) willsound if any of the following casesoccur;– If you shift the gearshift lever from the

“N” to the “D” position without depress-ing the brake pedal

– If the system is unable to re-try shiftingYou should depress the brake pedal andshift the gearshift lever to “N” position,then shift to “D” again.

3) Release the parking brake and brakepedal.

4) Depress the accelerator pedal slowly.

NOTICEA buzzer will sound continuously ifthe vehicle is operated with the gear-shift lever in-between of each shiftpositions. The vehicle will becomeinoperative if you continue to operatethe vehicle with the gearshift lever in-between shift positions.

WARNING• While driving the vehicle, do not

shift the gearshift lever to the “N”position. The engine brake may notwork and you may get involved inan unexpected accident. If youreturn the gearshift lever from “N”to “D” because of unintended shift-ing, the gear position will be shiftedaccording to the current vehiclespeed.

• Always keep your foot on the brakepedal while stopped with theengine running. This operation pre-vents the vehicle from moving dueto unintended activation of thecreeping function.

Starting off on an uphill/downhill:

Uphill1) Apply the parking brake firmly so that the

vehicle does not roll backwards.2) Shift the gearshift lever to the “D” posi-

tion while depressing the brake pedal.Make sure that the gear position indica-tor in the instrumental cluster displays1st gear.

3) Release the brake pedal and depressthe accelerator pedal gradually, andwhen the vehicle starts to move, releasethe parking brake and depress the accel-erator pedal to start off.

Downhill1) Depress the brake pedal and shift the

gearshift lever to the “D” position. Makesure that the gear is in 1st by checkingthe gear position indicator.

2) Release the brake pedal and depressthe accelerator pedal slowly. Even if theaccelerator pedal is not depressed, theclutch will be engaged when the vehiclespeed increases.

Using engine braking:When driving on a downhill slope, down-shifting is recommended. So you can useengine braking.By placing the gearshift lever in the “M”position, the Manual (M) mode is selected,and you can shift to a lower gear manually.For details of downshift operation, refer to“Upshift and downshift” in the “Manual (M)mode”.

Manual (M) modeThe gears are not shifted automatically. Toshift the transaxle, the driver must operatethe gearshift lever to the “+” or “–” direc-tion. As for conventional manual transaxlevehicles, releasing the accelerator pedal alittle may help the transaxle to shiftsmoothly.

– If the system is unable to re-try shiftingYou should depress the brake pedal andshift the gearshift lever to “N” position,

then shift to “R” position again a few sec-onds later.

• The system will not allow shifting to the“R” position if the vehicle speed is overabout 3 km/h (2 mph). If the gearshiftlever is operated under this condition,the “N” indicator in the instrument clusterwill blink. However, when the vehiclespeed drops below about 3 km/h (2mph), the gear will be shifted to reverse.Make sure that the vehicle has stoppedcompletely before shifting to the “R”position.

StoppingThe vehicle can be stopped by depressingthe brake pedal regardless of the gearposition. This is because the clutch is auto-matically disengaged to prevent the enginefrom stopping. • If the gearshift lever is in the “D” position,

the gear will be downshifted to 1st whenthe vehicle stops.

NOTICEOn an uphill slope, never hold thevehicle at a stop using only the accel-erator pedal or creeping function. Ifyou perform this operation for a cer-tain period of time, a warning buzzerwill sound, and in some cases theengine will stall. This can also causeexcessive damage to the clutch.

• If the gearshift lever is in the “M” posi-tion, the gear will be downshifted to 1stwhen the vehicle stops.

ParkingUnlike an automatic transaxle, Auto GearShift does not have a parking position. Thevehicle can be parked with the gearshiftlever in any position.1) Apply the parking brake firmly.2) While depressing the brake pedal, shift

the gearshift lever to the “R” position ona downhill slope, and to the 1st positionin the drive (D) mode or the “M(1)” posi-tion in the manual (M) mode on anuphill slope and confirm the gear posi-tion by checking the gear position indi-cator.

3) Stop the engine.

NOTE:• After the engine is stopped, the gear in

the transaxle does not change even ifyou shift the gearshift lever in any posi-tion. Always shift the gearshift leverbefore stop the engine.

• Check the transaxle gear position bylooking at the gear position indicator,then turn the ignition switch off to stopthe engine. Release the brake pedalafter a few seconds. The gearshift leverwill be locked in the position it was inwhen the ignition switch was turned off.

Parking cancelDepress the brake pedal, turn the ignitionswitch to the “ON” position, and shift thegearshift lever to the “N” position. The gearwill be disengaged.

WARNING• When stopping, for example, at a

traffic light, be sure to depress thebrake pedal firmly. For your safety,apply the parking brake, too, whenstopping on a hill.

• When racing the engine, make surethat the gear is in the “N” positionby checking the gear position indi-cator. If the accelerator is operatedwith the gear in any other position,the vehicle may move resulting inan unexpected accident.

• Do not leave your vehicle unat-tended while the engine is running.

• When leaving the vehicle, stop theengine and park the vehicle with agear engaged. If you need to leavethe vehicle with the engine running,apply the parking brakes firmly,and shift the gearshift lever to the“N” position. Otherwise, the vehi-cle may move unexpectedly andmay cause an accident.

NOTICE• On a slope, never hold the vehicle

at a stop using only the acceleratorpedal or the creeping function. Ifyou perform this operation for acertain period of time, a warningbuzzer will sound, and in somecases the engine will stall. This canalso cause excessive damage tothe clutch.

• If the gearshift lever is operatedmore than necessary, the systemmay not allow operation of thegearshift lever for a certain periodof time, and the gear may not beshifted appropriately. Therefore, donot operate the gearshift lever if notnecessary.

WARNING• If the gear is not engaged properly

and completely before the ignitionswitch is turned off, the vehiclemay not be parked with the gearengaged. Always confirm the gearposition by checking the gear posi-tion indicator when parking.

• On a downhill slope, the gearshould be put in reverse, and in 1stgear on an uphill slope. Otherwise,the vehicle may move, and causean unexpected accident. If the gearis left in the “N” position, the vehi-cle cannot be parked with a gearengaged.

When the gear indicator lamp blinks “1st”,you should depress the brake pedal andshift the gearshift lever to “N” position, thenshift to “D” or “M” position again a few sec-onds later.

“R” indicator blinkingWhen the gear indicator lamp blinks “R”,you should depress the brake pedal andshift the gearshift lever to “N” position, thenshift to “R” position again a few secondslater.

Braking

60G165S

The distance needed to bring any vehicleto a halt increases with the speed of thevehicle. The braking distance needed, forexample, at 60 km/h (37 mph) will beapproximately 4 times greater than thebraking distance needed at 30 km/h (19mph). Start to brake the vehicle when thereis plenty of distance between your vehicle

and the stopping point, and slow downgradually.

Power-Assisted BrakesYour vehicle has power-assisted brakes. Ifpower assistance is lost due to a stalledengine or other failures, the system is stillfully operational on reserve power and youcan bring the vehicle to a complete stop bypressing the brake pedal once and holdingit down. The reserve power is partly usedup when you depress the brake pedal andreduces each time the pedal is pressed.Apply smooth and even pressure to thepedal. Do not pump the pedal.

NOTICEIn the above cases, pull over to theside of the road and stop the engine,and then ask your MARUTI SUZUKIdealer to inspect your vehicle. Other-wise, the clutch disc may be dam-aged.

EXAMPLE

WARNINGIf water gets into the brake drums,brake performance may become poorand unpredictable. After driving through water or washingthe underside of the vehicle, test thebrakes while driving at a slow speedto see if they have maintained theirnormal effectiveness. If the brakes areless effective than normal, dry themby repeatedly applying the brakeswhile driving slowly until the brakeshave regained their normal effective-ness.

Brake Assist System (if equipped)When you slam the brakes on, the brakeassist system judges as an emergencystop and provides more powerful brakingfor a driver who cannot hold down thebrake pedal firmly.

NOTE:If you quickly and forcefully depress thebrakes, you may hear a clicking sound inthe brake pedal. This is normal and indi-cates that the brake assist system is acti-vated properly.

Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) (if equipped)ABS will help you avoid skidding by elec-tronically controlling braking pressure. Itwill also help you maintain steering controlwhen braking on slippery surfaces or whenbraking hard.The ABS works automatically, so you donot need any special braking technique.Just push the brake pedal down withoutpumping. The ABS will operate whenever itsenses that the wheels are locking up. You

may feel the brake pedal moves a littlewhile the ABS is operating.

NOTE:The ABS will not work if vehicle speed isunder about 10 km/h (6 mph).

(1) ABS warning light(2) Brake system warning light

WARNINGEven without reserve power in thebrake system, you can still stop thevehicle by pressing the brake pedalharder than normally required. How-ever, the stopping distance may belonger.

WARNING• On some types of loose surfaces

(such as gravel, snow-coveredroads, etc.) the stopping distancerequired for an ABS-equipped vehi-cle may be slightly greater than fora comparable vehicle with a con-ventional brake system. With a con-ventional brake system, skiddingtires are able to “plow” the gravelor snow layer, shortening the stop-ping distance, ABS minimizes thisresistance effect. Allow for extrastopping distance when driving onloose surfaces.

• On regular paved roads, some driv-ers may be able to obtain slightlyshorter stopping distances withconventional brake systems thanwith ABS.

• In both of the above conditions,ABS will still offer the advantage ofhelping you maintain directionalcontrol. However, remember thatABS will not compensate for badroad or weather conditions or poordriver judgment. Use good judg-ment and do not drive faster thanconditions will safely allow.

WARNING• If the ABS warning light (1) on the

instrument panel comes on andstays on while driving, there maybe a problem with the ABS system.Ask your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer toinspect the ABS system immedi-ately. If the ABS system becomesinoperative, the brake system willfunction as an ordinary brake sys-tem that has no ABS.

How the ABS WorksA computer continuously monitors wheelspeed. The computer compares thechanges in wheel speed when braking. Ifthe wheels slow suddenly, indicating askidding situation, the computer willchange braking pressure several timeseach second to prevent the wheels fromlocking. When you start your vehicle after astop you may hear a momentary motornoise as the system checks itself.

WARNING(Continued)• If the ABS warning light (1) and the

Brake system warning light (2) onthe instrument panel simultane-ously stays on or comes on whendriving, both anti-lock function andrear brake force control function(proportioning valve function) ofthe ABS system may have failed. Ifso, the rear wheels may easily skidor the vehicle can even spin in theworst case when braking on a slip-pery road or when hard brakingeven on a dry paved road. Ask yourMARUTI SUZUKI dealer to inspectthe ABS system immediately. Drivecarefully, avoiding hard braking asmuch as possible.

WARNINGThe ABS may not work properly iftires or wheels other than thosespecified in the owner’s manual areused. This is because the ABS worksby comparing changes in wheelspeed. When replacing tires orwheels, use only the size and typespecified in this owner’s manual.

Running-in Catalytic Converter

80G106

The purpose of the catalytic converter is tominimize the amount of harmful pollutantsin your vehicle’s exhaust. Use of leadedfuel in vehicles equipped with catalyticconverters is prohibited, because leaddeactivates the pollutant-reducing compo-nents of the catalyst system.

The converter is designed to last the life ofthe vehicle under normal usage and whenunleaded fuel is used. No special mainte-nance is required on the converter. How-ever, it is very important to keep the engineproperly tuned. Engine misfiring, whichcan result from an improperly tunedengine, may cause overheating of the cat-alyst. This may result in permanent heatdamage to the catalyst and other vehiclecomponents.

WARNING• Wear Your Seat Belts at All Times.

Even though air bags are equippedat the front seating positions, thedriver and all passengers shouldbe properly restrained at all times,using the seat belts provided. Referto the “Seat Belts and ChildRestraint Systems” section forinstructions on proper use of theseat belts.

• Never drive while under the influ-ence of alcohol or other drugs.Alcohol and drugs can seriouslyimpair your ability to drive safely,greatly increasing the risk of injuryto yourself and others. You shouldalso avoid driving when you aretired, sick, irritated, or understress.

NOTICEThe future performance and reliabil-ity of the engine depends on the careand restraint exercised during itsearly life. It is especially important toobserve the following precautionsduring the initial 960 km (600 miles)of vehicle operation.• After starting, do not race the

engine. Warm it up gradually.• Avoid prolonged vehicle operation

at a constant speed. Moving partswill break in better if you vary yourspeed.

• Start off from a stop slowly. Avoidfull throttle starts.

• Avoid hard braking, especiallyduring the first 320 km (200 miles)of driving.

• Do not drive slowly with thetransaxle in a high gear.

• Drive the vehicle at moderateengine speeds.

• Do not tow a trailer during the first960 km (600 miles) of vehicle oper-ation.

Improving Fuel EconomyThe following instructions will help youimprove fuel economy.

Avoid excessive idlingIf you are to wait for more than a minutewhile you are parked, stop the engine andstart it again later. When warming up acold engine, do not allow the engine to idleor apply full throttle until the engine hasreached operating temperature. Allow theengine to warm up by driving.

Avoid “fast” startsFast starts away from lights or stop signswill consume fuel unnecessarily andshorten engine life. Start off slowly.

Avoid unnecessary stopsAvoid unnecessary deceleration and stop-ping. Try to maintain a slow, steady speedwhenever possible. Slowing down and thenaccelerating again uses more fuel.

Keep a steady cruising speedKeep as constant a speed as road and traf-fic conditions will permit.

Keep the air cleaner clean

60A183S

If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, therewill be greater intake resistance, resultingin decreased power output and increasedfuel consumption.

NOTICETo avoid damaging catalyst or othervehicle damage:• Maintain the engine in the proper

operating condition.• In the event of an engine malfunc-

tion, particularly one involvingengine misfiring or other apparentloss of performance, have the vehi-cle serviced promptly.

• Do not turn off the engine or inter-rupt the ignition when the transaxleis in gear and the vehicle is inmotion.

• Do not try to start the engine bypushing or towing the vehicle, orcoasting down a hill.

• Do not idle the engine with anyspark plug wires disconnected orremoved, such as during diagnos-tic testing.

• Do not idle the vehicle for pro-longed periods if idling seemsrough or there are other malfunc-tions.

• Do not allow the fuel tank to getnear the empty level.

• Avoid driving your vehicle atexcessively high engine speed inor around the red zone of thetachometer (if equipped).

WARNINGBe careful in areas where you parkand drive; the catalytic converter andother exhaust components can getvery hot. As with any vehicle, do notpark or operate this vehicle in areaswhere combustible materials such asdry grass or leaves can come in con-tact with a hot exhaust system.

DRIVING TIPS

76MH1-74E

76MH1-74E

Keep weight to a minimumThe heavier the load, the more fuel thevehicle consumes. Take out any luggageor cargo when it is not necessary.

Keep tire pressures correctUnderinflation of the tires can waste fueldue to increased running resistance of thetires. Keep your tires inflated to the correctpressure shown on the label on the driver’sside door or the driver’s door lock pillar.

Highway DrivingWhen driving at highway speeds, payattention to the following:• Stopping distance progressively

increases with vehicle speed. Apply thebrakes far enough ahead of the stoppingpoint to allow for the extra stopping dis-tance.

• On rainy days, “Hydroplaning” can occur.“Hydroplaning” is the loss of direct con-tact between the road surface and thevehicle’s tires due to a water film formingbetween them. Steering or braking thevehicle while “Hydroplaning” can be verydifficult, and loss of control can occur.Keep speed down when the road surfaceis wet.

• At high speeds, the vehicle may beaffected by side winds. Therefore,reduce speed and be prepared for unex-pected buffeting, which can occur at theexits of tunnels, when passing by a cut ofa hill, or when being overtaken by largevehicles, etc.

Driving on Hills

76MH0A063

• When climbing steep hills, the vehiclemay begin to slow down and show a lackof power. If this happens, you shouldshift to a lower gear so that the enginewill again be operating in its normalpower range. Shift rapidly to prevent thevehicle from losing momentum.

• When driving down a hill, the engineshould be used for braking by shiftinginto a lower gear.

Driving on Slippery Roads

60G089S

Under wet road conditions you shoulddrive at a lower speed than on dry roadsdue to possible slippage of tires duringbraking. When driving on icy, snow-cov-ered, or muddy roads, reduce your speedand avoid sudden acceleration, abruptbraking, or sharp steering movements.

Tire Chains (if equipped)Tire chains should only be used if they areneeded to increase traction or are requiredby law. Make sure that the chains you use

WARNINGTry not to hold the brake pedal downtoo long or too often while goingdown a steep or long hill. This couldcause the brakes to overheat, result-ing in reduced braking efficiency.Failure to take this precaution couldresult in loss of vehicle control.

are the correct size for your vehicle’s tires.Also make sure that there is enough clear-ance between the fenders and the chainsas installed on the tires.

Install the chains on the front tires tightly,according to the chain manufacturer’sinstructions. Retighten the chains afterdriving about 1.0 km (1/2 mile) if neces-sary. With the chains installed, drive slowly.

If Your Vehicle Gets StuckIf your vehicle gets stuck in snow, mud, orsand, follow the directions below:

1) Shift the transaxle back and forthbetween a forward range (or first gear formanual transaxle) and reverse. This willcreate a rocking motion which may giveyou enough momentum to free the vehi-cle. Press gently on the accelerator tokeep wheel spinning to a minimumwheel rpm. Remove your foot from theaccelerator while shifting. Do not race the engine. Excessive wheelspin will cause the tires to dig deeper,making it more difficult to free the vehi-cle.

2) If your vehicle remains stuck after a fewminutes of rocking, get another vehicleto pull your vehicle out.

54G638S

DRIVING ON WET ROADS

NOTICE• If you hear the chains hitting against

the vehicle body while driving, stopand tighten them.

• If your vehicle is equipped with fullwheel caps, remove the wheel capsbefore installing the chains or thewheel caps can be damaged by thechain bands.

WARNINGDo not allow anyone to stand nearthe vehicle when you are rocking it,and do not spin the wheels fasterthan an indicated 40 km/h (25 mph)on the speedometer. Personal injuryand/ or vehicle damage may resultfrom spinning the wheels too fast.

NOTICEDo not continue rocking the vehiclefor more than a few minutes. Pro-longed rocking can cause engineoverheating or transaxle damage.

NOTICE• When driving on wet roads, avoid

driving through large amount ofstanding water on the road. Largeamount of water entering theengine compartment may causedamage to the engine and or elec-trical components.

76MH1-74E

Do’s and Dont’s for Safe DrivingExercise care in handling your vehicle. Beconscious of not only your own safety butalso the safety of others on the road, andthus enjoy the best and most comfortabledriving experience.

This section contains basic rules for safedriving. Read it carefully for good under-standing of the content so that you canenjoy safe and pleasant driving in yourMaruti Suzuki vehicle.

72F-08-002

Starting1) Adjust the driver’s seat for the proper

driving posture.2) Adjust the rear view mirror so as to

obtain the best possible rear view.3) Before moving off, look forward and

back to confirm safety.4) Don’t start quickly, since it is dangerous

and wastes fuel.

General driving1) Be sure to stop before the stop light and

stop sign. When moving into the inter-section without any traffic lights orsigns, drive slowly to confirm safety.

72F-08-002

2) Always follow other vehicles at a safedistance in order to prevent a rear-endcollision, in case the vehicle aheadmake a sudden stop.

3) Turn ON the turn signal at least 30meters before making a turn or chang-ing the lane so as not to be hit frombehind.

4) Before entering a corner, decelerate toa safe speed. Don’t apply brakes duringcornering, or a cornering skid mayoccur.

5) When overtaking other vehicles, watchout for the oncoming vehicle and care-fully confirm the safety.

6) Don’t attempt zigzag driving which willhinder your control over the vehicle andcause an accident.

WARNING(Continued)• Never use oversized tires or special

shock absorbers and springs toraise (jack up) your vehicle. Thiswill change the handling character-istics. Oversized tires may also rubagainst the fender over bumps,causing vehicle damage or tire fail-ure.

• After driving through water, test thebrakes while driving at a slowspeed to see if they have main-tained their normal effectiveness. Ifthe brakes are less effective thannormal, dry them by repeatedlyapplying the brakes while drivingslowly until the brakes haveregained their normal effectiveness.

76MH1-74E

72F-08-011

Braking1) Use the parking brake when parking

your vehicle and shift the gear shiftlever into the first gear or reverse gearposition for the sake of safety.

2) Don’t use hand-braking unless unavoid-able. It causes the vehicle to skid and arear-end collision occur. It is especiallydangerous when the tyres are worn, forthey allow a larger skid.

72F-08-012

Use foot brake in three stages1. Warn the vehicle behind you2. Gradually apply the brake.3. Bring the vehicle to a halt.

3) When driving on a downhill, try not toapply the brake but use the enginebrake effectively. Overuse of thefoot-brake may result in total brake fail-ure.

4) Avoid reckless high speed driving andtry to drive at a safe speed suitable forthe road conditions while maintaining aconstant speed.

72F-08-015

5) The higher the speed, the narrower thedriver’s visual range becomes. In sucha state, it is difficult to anticipate anyhazard and the driver feels muchfatigued.

6) Never do sharp handling during highspeed driving. You will lose your controlover your vehicle.

7) When overtaking or changing the lanewhile driving at a high speed, keep anample vehicle-to-vehicle distance.

DRIVING TIPS

76MH1-74E

76MH1-74E

Long distance driving1) Be sure to perform safety checks before

starting a trip.2) Take rest at certain intervals to prevent

an accident which may occur when youare sleepy or tired.

72F-08-020

Night time driving1) Drive more slowly at night than in the

daytime, for the visual range isrestricted at night.

2) Don’t overtake other vehicles at night.Darkness bothers your sense of speedand hinders your judgment on the vehi-cle-to-vehicle distance.

3) Don’t use the high headlight beamunless its use is inevitable. Its dazzlemay blitz the driver of the oncomingvehicle, thus causing an accident.

4) Always keep the window glasses clean.Don’t operate the windshield wiper

when the windshield glass is dry or thewiper blade and glass may get dam-aged.

72F-08-021

72F-08-022

Margin For SafetyIt is important to allow yourself a margin forsafety during driving so that you can copewith erroneous or unexpected driving ofother drivers. For that, observe the follow-ing.

• Drive at a safe speed.• Maintain a sufficient distance between

your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.• Don’t force yourself to overtake other

vehicles.• Don’t make quick start, hard steering or

sudden stops.• Allow an ample time in the driving

schedule.• Observe traffic rules and regulations.

ConclusionA perfect driver does not exist. Theendeavor of every motorist should be tostrive for perfection. Safety consciousnessnot only ensures your safety and the safetyof other road users, it also helps reducethe wear and tear on your vehicle, prolongsits life, gives more mileage and ensures acomfortable driving experience.Follow the do’s and don’ts listed, anddriving will never be the same again.

With this “A/C” switch operation, aindicator light will come on when the airconditioning system is on. To turn off theair conditioning system, push the “A/C”switch again.

During operation of the air conditioner, youmay notice slight changes in enginespeed. These changes are normal, thesystem is designed so that the compressorturns on or off to maintain the desired tem-perature.

Less operation of the compressor resultsin better fuel economy.

System Operating InstructionsNatural ventilationSelect “VENTILATION” and “FRESH AIR”,the temperature selector to the desiredtemperature position, and the blowerspeed selector to “OFF”. Fresh air will flowthrough the vehicle during driving.

Forced ventilationThe control settings are the same as fornatural ventilation except you set theblower speed selector to a position otherthan “OFF”.

Normal heating (using outside air)Select “HEAT” and “FRESH AIR”, the tem-perature selector to the desired tempera-ture position and the blower speed selector

to the desired blower speed position. Set-ting the blower speed selector to a higherblower speed position increases heatingefficiency.

Quick heating (using recirculated air)The control settings are the same as fornormal heating except you select “RECIR-CULATED AIR”. If you use this heatingmethod for an extended period of time, theair in the vehicle can become contami-nated and the windows can become misty.Therefore, use this method only for quickheating and change to the normal heatingmethod as soon as possible.

Head cooled/Feet warmed heatingSelect “BI-LEVEL” and “FRESH AIR”, thetemperature selector to the desired tem-perature position, and the blower speedselector to the desired blower speed posi-tion. Unless the temperature selector is inthe fully COLD position or fully HOT posi-tion, the air that comes out of the centerand side outlets will be cooler than the airthat comes out of the floor outlets.

Normal coolingSet the air flow selector to “VENTILA-TION”, the temperature selector to thedesired temperature position and theblower speed selector to the desiredblower speed position, and turn on the “A/C” switch. Setting the blower speed selec-tor to a higher blower speed positionincreases cooling efficiency.

You can switch the air intake selector toeither “FRESH AIR” or “RECIRCULATEDAIR” as you desire. Choosing “RECIRCU-LATED AIR” increases cooling efficiency.

Quick cooling (using recirculated air)The control settings are the same as fornormal cooling except you select “RECIR-CULATED AIR” and the highest blowerspeed.

NOTE:• To turn on the air conditioning system,

push in the “A/C” switch and set theblower speed selector to a position otherthan “OFF”. With this “A/C” switch opera-tion, an indicator light will come on whenthe air conditioning system is on. To turnoff the air conditioning system, push the“A/C” switch again.

• During operation of the air conditioner,you may notice slight changes in enginespeed. These changes are normal, thesystem is designed so that the compres-sor turns on or off to maintain thedesired temperature. Less operation ofthe compressor results in better fueleconomy.

NOTE:• If you select “RECIRCULATED AIR” for

• set the blower speed selector to HIGH,• adjust the temperature selector to the

HOT end,• turn on the “A/C” switch, and• adjust the side outlets so the air blows on

the side windows.

MaintenanceIf you do not use the air conditioner for along period, such as during winter, it maynot give the best performance when youstart using it again. To help maintain opti-mum performance and durability of your airconditioner, it needs to be run periodically.Operate the air conditioner at least once amonth for one minute with the engineidling. This circulates the refrigerant and oiland helps protect the internal components.

NOTE:Your vehicle uses the air conditioningrefrigerant HFC-134a, commonly called“R-134a”. R-134a replaced R-12 around1993 for automotive applications. Otherrefrigerants are available, including recy-cled R-12, but only R-134a should be usedin your vehicle.

Notes on MP3/WMA/AACWhat is MP3?• MP3 (MPEG audio layer3) is an audio

compression format that has become thestandard format among PC users. Itsmerit is that the original audio data iscompressed to approximately 1/10 andhigh sound quality is maintained. Thismeans that it is possible to store the dataof approximately 10 music CDs on a sin-gle CD-R/RW disc, which in turn makesit possible to play music for a long timewithout having to change the disc.

What is WMA?• An abbreviation of “Windows Media

Audio,” WMA is an audio compressionformat developed by Microsoft.

• WMA files for which the DRM (DigitalRights Management) function is ON can-not be played.

• Windows MediaTM and the Windows®

logo are trademarks or registered trade-marks of Microsoft Corporation in theUnited States and other countries.

Actual weight of the loaded vehicle andactual loads at the front and rear axles canonly be determined by weighing the vehi-cle. Compare these weights to the GVWRand PAW (front and rear). If the gross vehi-cle weight or the load on either axleexceeds these ratings, you must removeenough weight to bring the load down tothe rated capacity.

Trailer TowingYour MARUTI SUZUKI was originallydesigned to carry people and a normalamount of cargo, not to tow a trailer.MAR-UTI SUZUKI does not recommend you useyour vehicle to tow a trailer. Towing a trailercan adversely affect handling, durability,and fuel economy.

Towing Your Vehicle Your vehicle may be towed behind anothervehicle (such as a motorhome), providedyour vehicle is 2 wheel drive (2WD) andyou use the proper towing method speci-fied for your vehicle. The towing methodyou must use depends on the specifica-tions of your vehicle: whether it is a manualtransaxle vehicle or an Auto Gear Shiftvehicle.

Use the towing instruction table to selectthe proper towing method for your vehicle,and carefully follow the correspondinginstructions. Be sure to use proper towingequipment designed for recreational tow-ing and make sure that towing speed doesnot exceed 90 km/h (55 mph).

WARNINGNever overload your vehicle. Thegross vehicle weight (sum of theweights of the vehicle, all the occu-pants, accessories, cargo plus trailernose weight if towing a trailer) mustnever exceed the Gross VehicleWeight Rating (GVWR). In addition,never distribute a load so that theweight on either the front or rear axleexceeds the Permissible maximumAxle Weight (PAW).

WARNINGAlways distribute cargo evenly. Toavoid personal injury or damage toyour vehicle, always secure cargo toprevent it from shifting if the vehiclemoves suddenly. Place heavierobjects on the floor and as far for-ward in the cargo area as possible.Never pile cargo higher than the topof the seat backs.

WARNINGWhen you tow your vehicle, followthe instructions below to avoid acci-dents and damage to your vehicle. Inaddition, be sure to observe govern-ment and local requirements regard-ing vehicle lighting and trailer hitchesor tow bars.

WARNINGA safety chain should always be usedwhen you tow your vehicle.

Engine CoolantSelection of CoolantTo maintain optimum performance anddurability of your engine, use MARUTIGenuine Coolant or equivalent.This type of coolant is best for your coolingsystem as it:• Helps maintain proper engine tempera-

ture.• Gives proper protection against freezing

and boiling.• Gives proper protection against corro-

sion and rust.Failure to use the proper coolant can dam-age your cooling system. Your authorized

MARUTI SUZUKI dealer can help youselect the proper coolant.

Coolant Level CheckCheck the coolant level at the reservoirtank, not at the radiator. With the enginecool, the coolant level should be betweenthe “FULL” and “LOW” marks.

NOTICETo tighten the oil filter properly, it isImportant to accurately identify theposition at which the filter gasketfirst contacts the mounting surface.

NOTICETo prevent oil leakage, make surethat the oil filter is tight, but do notover-tighten it.

NOTICE• When replacing the oil filter, it is rec-

ommended that you use a Marutigenuine replacement filter. If youuse an after market filter, make sureit is of equivalent quality and followthe manufacturer’s instructions.

• Oil leaks from around the oil filteror drain plug indicate incorrectinstallation or gasket damage. Ifyou find any leaks or are not surethat the filter has been properlytightened, have the vehicleinspected by your MARUTI SUZUKIdealer.

NOTICETo avoid damaging your cooling sys-tem:• Always use a high quality ethylene

glycol base non-silicate type cool-ant diluted with distilled water atthe correct mixture concentration.

• Make sure that the proper mix is 50/50 coolant to distilled water (Die-sel) and 30/70 (Petrol). Concentra-tions greater than this may causeoverheating conditions.

• Neither use 100% coolant nor 100%Plain water.

• Do not add extra inhibitors or addi-tives. They may not be compatiblewith your cooling system.

• Do not mix different types of basecoolants. Doing so may result inaccelerated seal wear and/or thepossibility of severe overheatingand extensive engine damage.

If the coolant level is below the “LOW”mark, more coolant should be added.Remove the reservoir tank cap and addcoolant until the reservoir tank levelreaches the “FULL” mark. Never fill the res-ervoir tank above the “FULL” mark.


76MH032

If the coolant level is below the “LOW”mark, more coolant should be added.When the engine is cool, remove thedegassing tank cap by turning it anticlock-wise slowly to release any pressure. Andadd coolant until the degassing tank levelreaches the “FULL” mark. Never fill thedegassing tank above the “FULL” mark.

WARNINGEngine coolant is harmful or fatal ifswallowed or inhaled. Do not drinkantifreeze or coolant solution. If swal-lowed, do not induce vomiting. Imme-diately contact a poison controlcenter or a physician. Avoid inhalingmist or hot vapors; if inhaled, removeto fresh air. If coolant gets in eyes,flush eyes with water and seek medi-cal attention. Wash thoroughly afterhandling. Solution can be poisonousto animals. Keep out of the reach ofchildren and animals.

NOTICE• The mixture you use should con-

tain 30% concentration of anti-freeze.

• If the lowest ambient temperaturein your area is expected to be –35°C (–31°F) or below, use higherconcentrations up to 60% followingthe instructions on the antifreezecontainer.

“MAX” and “MIN” lines. If the brake fluidlevel is near the “MIN” line, fill it up to the“MAX” line with Maruti genuine brake fluid.

NOTE:With disc brakes, the fluid level can beexpected to gradually fall as the brakepads wear.

Brake PedalCheck if the brake pedal stops at the regu-lar height without “spongy” feeling whenyou depress it. If not, have the brake sys-tem inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKIdealer. If you doubt the brake pedal for theregular height, check it as follows:

54G108

Pedal to floor carpet minimum dis-tance “a”:66 mm (2.6 in.)

With the engine running, measure the dis-tance between the brake pedal and floorcarpet when the pedal is depressed withapproximately 30 kg (66 lbs) of force. Theminimum distance required is as specified.Since your vehicle’s brake system is self-adjusting, there is no need for pedaladjustment. If the pedal to floor carpet distance asmeasured above is less than the minimumdistance required, have your vehicleinspected by your MARUTI SUZUKIdealer.

WARNINGFailure to follow the guidelines belowcan result in personal injury or seri-ous damage to the brake system.• If the brake fluid in the reservoir

drops below a certain level, thebrake warning light on the instru-ment panel will come on (theengine must be running with theparking brake fully disengaged).Should the light come on, immedi-ately ask your MARUTI SUZUKIdealer to inspect the brake system.

• A rapid fluid loss indicates a leak inthe brake system which should beinspected by your MARUTI SUZUKIdealer immediately.

• Do not use any fluid other thanMaruti genuine brake fluid. Do notuse reclaimed fluid or fluid that hasbeen stored in old or open contain-ers. It is essential that foreign parti-cles and other liquids are kept outof the brake fluid reservoir.

CAUTIONBrake fluid can harm your eyes anddamage painted surfaces. Use cau-tion when refilling the reservoir.

WARNINGBrake fluid is harmful or fatal if swal-lowed, and harmful if it comes in con-tact with skin or eyes. If swallowed,do not induce vomiting. Immediatelycontact a poison control center or aphysician. If brake fluid gets in eyes,flush eyes with water and seek medi-cal attention. Wash thoroughly afterhandling. Solution can be poisonousto animals. Keep out of the reach ofchildren and animals.

Steering wheel play “c”: 0 – 30 mm (0.0 – 1.2 in.)

Check the play of the steering wheel bygently turning it from left to right and mea-suring the distance that it moves beforeyou feel slight resistance. The play shouldbe between the specified values.

Check that the steering wheel turns easilyand smoothly without rattling by turning itall the way to the right and to the left whiledriving very slowly in an open area. If theamount of free play is outside the specifi-cation or you find anything else to bewrong, an inspection must be performedby your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.

WARNINGIf you experience any of the followingproblems with your vehicle’s brakesystem, have the vehicle inspectedimmediately by your MARUTI SUZUKIdealer.• Poor braking performance• Uneven braking (brakes not work-

ing uniformly on all wheels.)• Excessive pedal travel• Brake dragging• Excessive noise• Pedal pulsation (pedal pulsates

(1) Tread wear indicator(2) Indicator location mark

2) Check that the depth of the treadgroove is more than 1.6 mm (0.06 in.).To help you check this, the tires havemolded-in tread wear indicators in thegrooves. When the indicators appearon the tread surface, the remainingdepth of the tread is 1.6 mm (0.06 in.)or less and the tire should be replaced.

3) Check for abnormal wear, cracks anddamage. Any tires with cracks or otherdamage should be replaced. If any tiresshow abnormal wear, have theminspected by your MARUTI SUZUKIdealer.

4) Check for loose wheel nuts.5) Check that there are no nails, stones or

other objects sticking into the tires.

If the Starter Does Not Operate1) Try turning the ignition switch to the

“START” position with the headlightsturned on to determine the battery con-dition. If the headlights go excessivelydim or go off, it usually means thateither the battery is flat or the batteryterminal contact is poor. Recharge thebattery or correct battery terminal con-tact as necessary.

2) If the headlights remain bright, checkthe fuses. If the reason for failure of thestarter is not obvious, there may be amajor electrical problem. Have the vehi-cle inspected by your authorized MAR-UTI SUZUKI dealer.

If the Engine is FloodedIf the engine is flooded with petrol, it maybe hard to start. If this happens, press theaccelerator pedal all the way to the floorand hold it there while cranking the engine. • For petrol engine model, do not operate

the starter motor for more than 12 sec-onds.

• For diesel engine model, do not operatethe starter motor for more than 30 sec-onds.

If the Engine OverheatsThe engine could overheat temporarilyunder severe driving conditions. If the highengine coolant temperature warning lightcomes on as overheating during driving:1) Turn off the air conditioner, if equipped.2) Take the vehicle to a safe place and

park.3) Let the engine run at the normal idle

speed for a few minutes until the highengine coolant temperature warninglight goes off.

If the high engine coolant temperaturewarning light does not go off:1) Turn off the engine and check that the

water pump belt and pulleys are notdamaged or slipping. If any abnormalityis found, correct it.

2) Check the coolant level in the reservoir.If it is found to be lower than the “LOW”line, look for leaks at the radiator, waterpump, and radiator and heater hoses. Ifyou locate any leaks that may havecaused the overheating, do not run theengine until these problems have beencorrected.

3) If you do not find a leak, carefully addcoolant to the reservoir and then theradiator, if necessary. (Refer to “EngineCoolant” in the “INSPECTION ANDMAINTENANCE” section.)

NOTE:If your engine overheats and you areunsure what to do, contact your MARUTISUZUKI dealer.

APPEARANCE CARECorrosion PreventionIt is important to take good care of yourvehicle to protect it from corrosion. Listedbelow are instructions for how to maintainyour vehicle to prevent corrosion. Pleaseread and follow these instructions carefully.

Important Information About CorrosionCommon causes of corrosion1) Accumulation of road salt, dirt, mois-

ture, or chemicals in hard-to-reachareas of the vehicle underbody orframe.

2) Chipping, scratches and any damage totreated or painted metal surfacesresulting from minor accidents or abra-sion by stones and gravel.

Environmental conditions which accel-erate corrosion1) Road salt, dust control chemicals, sea

air or industrial pollution will all acceler-ate the corrosion of metal.

2) High humidity will increase the rate ofcorrosion particularly when the tem-perature range is just above the freez-ing point.

3) Moisture in certain areas of a vehiclefor an extended period of time may pro-mote corrosion even though other bodysections may be completely dry.

4) High temperatures will cause an accel-erated rate of corrosion to parts of thevehicle which are not well ventilated topermit quick drying.

This information illustrates the necessity ofkeeping your vehicle (particularly theunderbody) as clean and dry as possible. Itis equally important to repair any damageto the paint or protective coatings as soonas possible.

How to Help Prevent CorrosionWash your vehicle frequentlyThe best way to preserve the finish on yourvehicle and to help avoid corrosion is tokeep it clean with frequent washing.Wash your vehicle at least once during thewinter and once immediately after the win-ter. Keep your vehicle, particularly theunderside, as clean and dry as possible.If you frequently drive on salted roads, yourvehicle should be washed at least once amonth during the winter. If you live near theocean, your vehicle should be washed atleast once a month throughout the year.

For washing instructions, refer to the “Vehi-cle Cleaning” section.

Remove foreign material depositsForeign material such as salts, chemicals,road oil or tar, tree sap, bird droppings andindustrial fall-out may damage the finish ofyour vehicle if it is left on painted surfaces.Remove these types of deposits as quicklyas possible. If these deposits are difficult towash off, an additional cleaner may berequired. Be sure that any cleaner you use

is not harmful to painted surfaces and isspecifically intended for your purposes. Fol-low the manufacturer’s directions whenusing these special cleaners.

Repair finish damageCarefully examine your vehicle for damageto the painted surfaces. Should you findany chips or scratches in the paint, touchthem up immediately to prevent corrosionfrom starting. If the chips or scratches havegone through to the bare metal, have aqualified body shop make the repair.

Keep passenger and luggage compart-ments cleanMoisture, dirt or mud can accumulate underthe floor mats and may cause corrosion.Occasionally, check under these mats toensure that this area is clean and dry. Morefrequent checks are necessary if the vehicleis used off road or in wet weather.Certain cargos such as chemicals, fertiliz-ers, cleaners, salts, etc. are extremely cor-rosive by nature. These products should betransported in sealed containers. If a spill orleak does occur, clean and dry the areaimmediately.

Store your vehicle in a dry, well-venti-lated areaDo not park your vehicle in a damp, poorlyventilated area. If you often wash yourvehicle in the garage or if you frequentlydrive it in when wet, your garage may bedamp. The high humidity in the garagemay cause or accelerate corrosion. A wetvehicle may corrode even in a heatedgarage if the ventilation is poor.
