FUEL RECOMMENDATION
Fuel Recommendation
Petrol Engine
You must use unleaded petrol with an
octane number (RON) of 91 or higher.
Petrol/Ethanol blends
Blends of unleaded petrol and ethanol
(grain alcohol), also known as gasohol, are
commercially available in some areas.
Blends of this type may be used in your
vehicle if they are no more than 10% ethanol. Make sure this petrol-ethanol blend
has octane ratings no lower than those
recommended for petrol.
Petrol/Methanol blends
Blends of unleaded petrol and methanol
(wood alcohol) are also commercially
available in some areas. DO NOT USE
fuels containing more than 5% methanol
under any circumstances. Fuel system
damage or vehicle performance problems
resulting from the use of such fuels are not
the responsibility of MARUTI SUZUKI and
may not be covered under the New Vehicle
Warranty.
Fuels containing 5% or less methanol may
be suitable for use in your vehicle if they
contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors.
NOTE:
If you are not satisfied with the driveability
or fuel economy of your vehicle when you
are using a petrol/alcohol blend, you
should switch back to unleaded petrol containing no alcohol.
NOTICE
The fuel tank has an air space to
allow for fuel expansion in hot
weather. If you continue to add fuel
after the filler nozzle has automatically shut off or an initial blowback
occurs, the air chamber will become
full. Exposure to heat when fully
fuelled in this manner will result in
leakage due to fuel expansion. To
prevent such fuel leakage, stop filling
after the filler nozzle has automatically shut off, or when using an alternative non-automatic system, initial
vent blowback occurs.
NOTICE
Be careful not to spill fuel containing
alcohol while refueling. If fuel is
spilled on the vehicle body, wipe it up
immediately. Fuels containing alcohol can cause paint damage, which is
not covered under the New Vehicle
Warranty.

68PH0-74E
FUEL RECOMMENDATION
Diesel Engine
You must use diesel fuel with Cetane Number (CN) higher than 51 and sulfur content
less than 350 ppm (parts per million).
MARUTI SUZUKI recommends to use the
diesel fuel conformable to EN590. Do not
use marine diesel fuel, heating oils and so
forth.

Keys
Immobilizer System
EXAMPLE
54G489
Your vehicle comes with a pair of keys.
The key(s) may or may not be equipped
with a transmitter depending on model
variant. Keep the spare key in a safe
place. One key can open all of the locks on
the vehicle.
The key identification number is stamped
on a metal tag provided with the keys or on
the keys. Keep the tag (If equipped) in a
safe place. If you lose your keys, you will
need this number to have new keys made.
Write the number below for your future reference.
KEY NUMBER:
This system is designed to help prevent
vehicle theft by electronically disabling the
engine starting system.
The engine can be started only with your
vehicle’s original immobilizer ignition key
or keyless push start system remote controller which has an electronic identification
code programmed into it. The key or
remote controller communicates the identification code to the vehicle when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or
the engine switch is pressed to change the
ignition mode to “ON”. If you need to make
spare keys or remote controllers, see your
authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop. The
vehicle must be programmed with the correct identification code for the spare. A key
made by an ordinary locksmith will not
work.
For vehicles without keyless push start
system
If this light blinks, turn the ignition switch to
the “LOCK” position, then turn it back to
the “ON” position.
If the light still blinks after the ignition
switch is turned back to the “ON” position,
there may be something wrong with your
key or with the immobilizer system. Ask
your authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop to
have the system inspected.
For vehicles with keyless push start
system
If this light blinks, change the ignition mode
to “LOCK” (OFF), then change back to
“ON”. Also refer to “If the master warning
indicator light blinks and the engine cannot
be started” in “Starting the Engine (Vehicle
with Keyless Push Start System)” in the
“OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE” section.
If the light still blinks after the ignition mode
is changed back to “ON”, there may be
something wrong with your key or with the
immobilizer system. Ask your authorised
Maruti Suzuki workshop to have the system inspected.
80JM122
If the immobilizer/keyless push start system warning light blinks when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position or the ignition
mode is “ON”, the engine will not start.
2-1
68PH0-74E
BEFORE DRIVING
The immobilizer/keyless push start system
warning light may also blinks if the remote
controller is not in the vehicle when you
close the door or attempt to start the
engine.
NOTE:
• If you lose your immobilizer ignition key
or remote controller, see your authorised
Maruti Suzuki workshop as soon as possible to have the lost one deactivated,
then have the new key or remote controller made by them.
• If you own other vehicles with immobilizer keys, keep those keys away from
the ignition switch or the engine switch
when using your Vehicle, or the engine
may not be started because they may
interfere with your vehicle’s immobilizer
system.
• If you attach any metal objects to the
immobilizer key or remote controller, it
may not start the engine.
NOTICE
The immobilizer key and remote controller are sensitive electronic instruments. To avoid damaging them:
• Do not expose them to impacts,
moisture or high temperature such
as on the dashboard under direct
sunlight.
• Keep them away from magnetic
objects.
Ignition Key Reminder (If equipped)
A buzzer sounds intermittently to remind
you to remove the ignition key if it is in the
ignition switch when the driver’s door is
opened.

system transmitter or keyless push start
system remote controller, the security
system will be rearmed with a delay of
about 5 seconds.
• If you disconnect the battery while the
security system is in the armed condition
or the alarm is actually in operation, the
alarm will be re-triggered when the battery is then reconnected.
• Even after the alarm has stopped at the
end of the predetermined operation time,
it will be triggered again if any of the
doors, tailgate or engine hood is opened,
or the vehicle feels a shock (If the shock
sensor is in the enabled state), without
disarming the security system.
Checking whether the alarm has been
triggered during parking
If the alarm was triggered and you then
turn the ignition switch to “ON” position or
the ignition mode is “ON”, the security system indicator will blink rapidly for about 8
seconds and a buzzer will beep 4 times
during this period. If this happens, check
whether the vehicle has been broken into
while you were away from it.
Enabling and disabling the security
system
The security system can be either enabled
or disabled.
When enabled
• If any of the doors or tailgate are opened
without unlocking by the keyless entry
system transmitter or keyless push start
system remote controller, all turn signal
lights start to blink and the interior
buzzer beeps intermittently. After 5 seconds, the siren will sound for about 27.5
seconds. The security system indicator
continues to blink during this time.
• If the engine hood is opened, all turn signal lights blink, and the siren sounds for
about 27.5 seconds. The security system indicator continues to blink during
this time.

(If the shock sensor is in the enabled state)
• If the vehicle feels a shock higher than
the pre-warning sensitivity, the siren
sounds for about 2 seconds (pre-warning). If the vehicle feel a shock higher
than the full blast warning sensitivity, all
turn signal lights start to blink and the
interior buzzer beeps intermittently. After
5 seconds, the siren will sound for about
27.5 seconds (Full blast warning). The
security system indicator continues to
blink during this time.
NOTE:
If you set the full blast warning sensitivity
higher than the pre-warning sensitivity in
the setting mode of the information display,
or the vehicle feels such shock as to be
able to trigger the full blast warning, the full
blast warning will be triggered preferentially. In this case, the pre-warning will not
be triggered.
When disabled
When the system is disabled, it stays disarmed even if you perform any system
arming operation.
How to switch the state of the security
system

Seat Belt Pretensioner System
and/or
EXAMPLE
Label
68PH00245
WARNING
This section of the owner’s manual
describes your Vehicle’s SEAT BELT
PRETENSIONER SYSTEM. Please
read and follow ALL these instructions carefully to minimize your risk
of severe injury or death.
To determine if your vehicle is equipped
with a seat belt pretensioner system at the
front seating positions, check the label on
the front seat belt at the bottom part. If the
letters “p” and/or “PRE” appear as illustrated, your vehicle is equipped with the
seat belt pretensioner system. You can use
the pretensioner seat belts in the same
manner as ordinary seat belts.
Read this section and the “Supplemental
Restraint System (Air bags)” section to
learn more about the pretensioner system.
The seat belt pretensioner system works
with the SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT
SYSTEM (Air Bags). The crash sensors
and the electronic controller of the air bag
system also control the seat belt pretensioners. The pretensioners are activated in
the event of a frontal crash which is severe
enough to trigger the air bags.
For precautions and general information
including servicing the pretensioner system,
refer to the “Supplemental Restraint System
(Air bags)” section in addition to this “Seat
Belt Pretensioner System” section, and follow all those precautions.
The pretensioner is located in each front
seat belt retractor. The pretensioner tightens the seat belt so the belt fits the occupant’s body more snugly in the event of a
frontal crash. The retractors will remain
locked after the pretensioners are activated.
Upon activation, some noise will occur and
some smoke may be released. These conditions are not harmful and do not indicate a
fire in the vehicle.
The driver and all passengers must be
properly restrained by wearing seat belts at
all times, whether or not a pretensioner is
equipped at their seating position, to minimize the risk of severe injury or death in the
event of a crash.
Sit fully back in the seat; sit up straight; do
not lean forward or sideways. Adjust the
belt so the lap portion of the belt is worn low
across the pelvis, not across the waist.
Please refer to the “Seat Adjustment” section and the instructions and precautions
about the seat belts in this “Seat Belts and
Child Restraint Systems” section for details
on proper seat and seat belt adjustments.
Please note that the pretensioners along
with the air bags will activate in severe frontal collisions. They are not designed to activate in rear impacts, side impacts, rollovers, or minor frontal collisions. The pretensioners can be activated only once. If the
pretensioners are activated (that is, if the air
bags are activated), have the pretensioner
system serviced by an authorised Maruti
Suzuki workshop as soon as possible.
If the “AIR BAG” light on the instrument cluster does not blink or come on briefly when
the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to “ON”, stays on
2-43
68PH0-74E
BEFORE DRIVING
for more than 10 seconds, or comes on
while driving, the pretensioner system or the
air bag system may not work properly. Have
both systems inspected by an authorised
Maruti Suzuki workshop as soon as possible.
Service on or around the pretensioner system components or wiring must be performed only by an authorised Maruti
Suzuki workshop who is specially trained.
Improper service could result in unintended activation of pretensioners or could
render the pretensioner inoperative. Either
of these two conditions may result in personal injury.
To prevent damage or unintended activation of the pretensioners, be sure the battery is disconnected and the ignition switch
has been in the “LOCK” position or the
ignition mode has been “LOCK” (OFF) for
at least 90 seconds before performing any
electrical service work on your vehicle.
Do not touch pretensioner system components or wiring. The wires are wrapped
with yellow tape or yellow tubing, and the
couplers are yellow. When scrapping your
Vehicle, ask your authorised Maruti Suzuki
workshop body repair shop, or scrap yard
for assistance.

If the “AIR BAG” light on the instrument
cluster does not blink or come on when the
ignition switch is first turned to the “ON”
position, or the ignition mode is first
changed to “ON”, or the “AIR BAG” light
stays on, or comes on while driving, the air

air bag system inspected by an authorised
Maruti Suzuki workshop as soon as possible.
NEVER use a rearward facing child
restraint on a seat protected by an
ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH
or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD
can occur.
Front air bags are designed to inflate in
severe frontal collisions when the ignition
switch is in the “ON” position or the ignition
mode is “ON”.
Front air bags are not designed to inflate in
rear impacts, side impacts, rollovers or
minor frontal collisions, since they would
offer no protection in those types of accidents. Remember, since an air bag
deploys only one time during an accident,
seat belts are needed to restrain occupants from further movements during the
accident.
2-46
68PH0-74E
BEFORE DRIVING
Therefore, an air bag is NOT a substitute
for seat belts. To maximize your protection,
ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEAT BELTS. Be
aware that no system can prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident.

The words “SRS AIRBAG” are molded into
the air bag covers to identify the location of
the air bags.
WARNING
Do not install a rear-facing child
restraint in the front passenger’s
seat. If the passenger’s front air bag
inflates, a child in a rear-facing child
restraint could be killed or severely
injured. The back of a rear-facing
child restraint would be too close to
the inflating air bag.

EXAMPLE
80J107
• Collision angle is offset from the vehicle
angle (Offset collision)
In a frontal collision, the crash sensors will
detect rapid deceleration, and if the controller judges that the deceleration represents a severe frontal crash, the
controller will trigger the inflators. The inflators inflate the air bags with nitrogen or
argon gas. The inflated air bags provide a
cushion for your head and upper body. The
air bag inflates and deflates so quickly that
you may not even realize that it has activated. The air bag will neither hinder your
view nor make it harder to exit the vehicle.
Air bags must inflate quickly and forcefully
in order to reduce the chance of serious or
fatal injuries. However, an unavoidable
consequence of the quick inflation is that
the air bag may irritate bare skin, such as
the facial area. Also, upon inflation, a loud
noise will occur and some powder and
smoke will be released. These conditions
are not harmful and do not indicate a fire in
the vehicle. Be aware, however, that some
air bag components may be hot for a while
after inflation.
in this section for details on proper seat
and seat belt adjustments.
EXAMPLE
65D610
A seat belt helps keep you in the proper
position for maximum protection when an
air bag inflates. Adjust your seat as far
back as possible while still maintaining
control of the vehicle. Sit fully back in your
seat; sit up straight; do not lean over the
steering wheel or dashboard. Please refer
to the “Front Seat” section and the “Seat
Belts and Child Restraint Systems” section
2-50
68PH0-74E
BEFORE DRIVING
WARNING
• The driver should not lean over the
steering wheel. The front passenger should not rest his or her body
against the dashboard, or otherwise get too close to the dashboard. In these situations, the outof-position occupant would be too
close to an inflating air bag, and
may suffer severe injury.
• Do not attach any objects to, or
place any objects over, the steering
wheel or dashboard. Do not place
any objects between the air bag
and the driver or front passenger.
These objects may interfere with air
bag operation or may be propelled
by the air bag in the event of a
crash. Either of these conditions
may cause severe injury.
Note that even though your vehicle may be
moderately damaged in a frontal collision,
the collision may not have been severe
enough to trigger the air bags to inflate. If
your vehicle sustains ANY front-end damage, have the air bag system inspected by
an authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop to
ensure it is in proper working order.
Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnostic
module which records information about
the air bag system if the air bags deploy in
a crash. The module records information
about overall system status, which sensors
activated the deployment, and for a certain
vehicle only, whether the driver’s seat belt
was in use.
Servicing the air bag system
If the air bags inflate, have the air bags
and related components replaced by an
authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop as
soon as possible.
If your vehicle ever gets in deep water and
the driver’s floor is submerged, the air bag
controller could be damaged. If it does,
have the air bag system inspected by the
authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop as
soon as possible.
90 seconds before performing any electrical service work on your Vehicle. Do not
touch air bag system components or wires.
The wires are wrapped with yellow tape or
yellow tubing, and the couplers are yellow
for easy identification.
Scrapping a vehicle that has an uninflated
air bag can be hazardous. Ask your dealer,
body repair shop or scrap yard for help
with disposal.
Special procedures are required for servicing or replacing an air bag. For that reason, only an authorised Maruti Suzuki
workshop should be allowed to service or
replace your air bags. Please remind anyone who services your vehicle that it has
air bags.
Service on or around air bag components
or wiring must be performed only by an
authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop.
Improper service could result in unintended air bag deployment or could render
the air bag inoperative. Either of these two
conditions may result in severe injury.
To prevent damage or unintended inflation
of the air bag system, be sure the battery
is disconnected and the ignition switch has
been in the “LOCK” position or the ignition
mode has been “LOCK” (OFF) for at least

Exhaust Gas Warning
WARNING
EXAMPLE
52D334
WARNING
Avoid breathing exhaust gases.
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a potentially lethal gas that is
colorless and odorless. Since carbon
monoxide is difficult to detect by
itself, be sure to take the following
precautions to help prevent carbon
monoxide from entering your vehicle.
• Do not leave the engine running in
garages or other confined areas.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• Do not park with the engine running for a long period of time, even
in an open area. If it is necessary to
sit for a short time in a parked vehicle with the engine running, make
sure the air intake selector is set to
“FRESH AIR” and the blower is at
high speed.
• Avoid operating the vehicle with
the tailgate or trunk open. If it is
necessary to operate the vehicle
with the tailgate or trunk open,
make sure the sunroof (If equipped)
and all windows are closed, and the
blower is at high speed with the air
intake selector set to “FRESH AIR”.
• To allow proper operation of your
vehicle’s ventilation system, keep
the air inlet grille in front of the
windshield clear of snow, leaves or
other obstructions at all times.
• Keep the exhaust tailpipe area clear
of snow and other material to help
reduce the buildup of exhaust
gases under the vehicle. This is
particularly important when parked
in blizzard conditions.
• Have the exhaust system inspected
periodically for damage and leaks.
Any damage or leaks should be
repaired immediately.
Daily Inspection Checklist
Before Driving
EXAMPLE
60A187S
1) Make sure that windows, mirrors, lights
and reflectors are clean and unobstructed.
2) Visually check the tires for the following
points:
– 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 AND
MAINTENANCE” section for details.
3) Look for fluid and oil leaks.
3-1
68PH0-74E
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
NOTE:
It is normal for water to drip from the air
conditioning system after use.
4) Make sure the hood is fully closed and
latched.
5) Check the headlights, turn signal lights,
brake lights and horn for proper operation.
6) Adjust the seat and head restraint.
7) Check the brake pedal and the parking
brake 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 ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the engine switch is
pressed to change the ignition mode to
“ON”.
11)Check all gauges.
12)Make sure that the BRAKE SYSTEM
WARNING light turns off when the parking brake is released.
Once a week, or each time you fill your fuel
tank, perform the following under-hood
checks:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
Engine oil level
Coolant level
Brake fluid level
Battery solution level
Windshield washer fluid level
6) Hood latch operation
Pull the hood release handle inside the
vehicle. Make sure that you cannot
open the hood all the way without
releasing the secondary latch. Be sure
to close the hood securely after checking for proper latch operation. See the
item “All latches, hinges and locks” of
“CHASSIS AND BODY” in the “Periodic
Maintenance
Schedule”
in
the
“INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE”
section for lubrication schedule.
WARNING
Make sure the hood is fully closed
and latched before driving. If it is not,
it can fly up unexpectedly during
driving, obstructing your view and
resulting in an accident.
Once a month, or each time you fill your
fuel tank, check the tire pressure using a
tire pressure gauge. Also check the tire
pressure of the spare tire.
Engine Oil Consumption
It is normal for the engine to consume
some engine oil during normal vehicle
operation.
The amount of engine oil consumed
depends on the viscosity of the oil, the
quality of the oil and the conditions the
vehicle is driven under.
More oil is consumed during high-speed
driving and when there is frequent acceleration 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 oil
consumption only after approximately
5000 km driving.
Oil consumption:
Max. 1.0 L per 1000 km
When judging the amount of oil consumption, note that the oil may become diluted
and make it difficult to accurately judge the
true oil level.
As an example, if a vehicle is used for
repeated short trips, and consumes a normal amount of oil, the dipstick may not
show any drop in the oil level at all, even
after 1000 km or more of driving. This is
because the oil is gradually becoming
diluted with fuel or moisture, making it
appear that the oil level has not changed.
3-2
68PH0-74E
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
You should also be aware that the diluting
ingredients evaporate out when the vehicle
is subsequently driven at high speeds,
such as on an expressway, making it
appear that oil is excessively consumed
after high-speed driving.

which gear position is optimal for your driving with the indication on the display.
If UP/DOWN arrow and the gear position
other than currently selected are indicated
on the display while driving, we recommend you to shift up or down the gear to
indicated position. It is the optimal gear
position for a driving condition that reduces
the over revolution and stress to the
engine, and improves fuel consumption.
The gearshift indicator is designed to
indicate optimal gear position for
your driving, however, a driver will
not be relieved from the duty of care
of driving operation or gear change
with this indicator.
To drive safe, do not gaze the gearshift indicator, pay attention to your

taken by the ultrasonic wave to reach the
obstacle and return from it, from which it
determines the obstacle’s position.
• The parking sensor function can be used
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to “ON”, the
gearshift lever is in the “R” position and
the parking sensor switch is in the “ON”
position. This function is helpful in the
following cases: pulling over to the curb;
parallel-parking the vehicle; steering the
vehicle into a garage; driving along an
alley; and moving slowly in a place with
obstacles.
WARNING
(Continued)
• The sensors can detect obstacles
only within a limited area and only
when the vehicle is moving within a
limited speed range. So, in tricky
areas, you must move the vehicle
slowly while checking around it
using your direct vision or rearview
mirrors. There is increased risk of
an accident if you control the vehicle relying only on the parking sensor.
NOTICE
• Avoid hitting the sensor areas or
directing the nozzle of a high-pressure car washer onto the sensor
areas. Otherwise, the sensors may
be damaged.
• If the bumper hits a hard object, the
sensors on it may not work properly. If this occurs, have the sensors inspected by an authorised
Maruti Suzuki workshop.

WARNING
(Continued)
– Sensors have intercepted ultrasonic noise from another vehicle’s horn, engine, air braking
system (Large vehicles), or parking sensor.
– Obstacles are too close to the
sensors.
– Sensors are at an angle to a
highly reflective object such as
glass. (Ultrasonic waves are not
reflected back from the obstacle.)
• Sensors may not be able to correctly detect the following types of
obstacles:
– Objects made of a thin material
like wire netting and ropes
– Square-shaped curbstones or
other objects with sharp edges
– Tall objects with a large upper
part like a road sign
– Low-profile objects such as curbstones
– Sound-absorbing objects such
as cotton and snow
NOTE:
• Thin poles or obstacles lower than the
sensors may become undetectable as
the vehicle moves closer to them even if
they have been detected from longer
distances.
• The system may calculate the distance
to a road sign or similar obstacle to be
shorter than the actual distance.

Braking
WARNING
EXAMPLE
If water gets into the brake devices,
brake performance may become poor
and unpredictable. After driving
through water or washing the underside of the vehicle, test the brakes
while driving at a slow speed to see if
they have maintained their normal
effectiveness. If the brakes are less
effective than normal, dry them by
repeatedly applying the brakes while
driving slowly until the brakes have
regained their normal effectiveness.
60G165S
The distance needed to bring any vehicle
to a halt increases with the speed of the
vehicle. The braking distance needed, for
example, at 60 km/h will be approximately
4 times greater than the braking distance
needed at 30 km/h. Start to brake the vehicle when there is plenty of distance
between your vehicle and the stopping
point, and slow down gradually.
Power-Assisted Brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes. If
power assistance is lost due to a stalled
engine or other failures, the system is still
fully operational on reserve power and you
can bring the vehicle to a complete stop by
pressing the brake pedal once and holding
it down. The reserve power is partly used
up when you depress the brake pedal and
reduces each time the pedal is pressed.
Apply smooth and even pressure to the
pedal. Do not pump the pedal.
WARNING
Even without reserve power in the
brake system, you can still stop the
vehicle by pressing the brake pedal
harder than normally required. However, the stopping distance may be
longer.
3-29
68PH0-74E
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Brake Assist System
When you slam the brakes on, the brake
assist system judges as an emergency
stop and provides more powerful braking
for a driver who cannot hold down the
brake pedal firmly.
NOTE:
If you quickly and forcefully depress the
brakes, you may hear a clicking sound in
the brake pedal. This is normal and indicates that the brake assist system is activated properly.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
ABS will help you avoid skidding by electronically controlling braking pressure. It
will also help you maintain steering control
when braking on slippery surfaces or when
braking hard.
The ABS works automatically, so you do
not need any special braking technique.
Just push the brake pedal down without
pumping. The ABS will operate whenever
it senses that the wheels are locking up.
You may feel the brake pedal moves a little
while the ABS is operating.
NOTE:
• The ABS will not work if vehicle speed is
under about 9 km/h.
• If the ABS system is activated, you may
hear a clunking noise and/or feel pulsating in the brake pedal. This is normal
and indicates that the brake fluid pressure in being controlled properly.
• You may hear and operation sound
when you start the engine or after the
vehicle begins the move. This means
that the above systems are in the selfcheck mode. This sound does not indicate a malfunction.
WARNING
• On some types of loose surfaces
(Such as gravel, snow-covered
roads, etc.) the stopping distance
required for an ABS-equipped vehicle may be slightly greater than for
a comparable vehicle with a conventional brake system. With a conventional brake system, skidding
tires are able to “plow” the gravel
or snow layer, shortening the stopping distance. ABS minimizes this
resistance effect. Allow for extra
stopping distance when driving on
loose surfaces.
• On regular paved roads, some drivers may be able to obtain slightly
shorter stopping distances with
conventional brake systems than
with ABS.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
• In both of the above conditions,
ABS will still offer the advantage of
helping you maintain directional
control. However, remember that
ABS will not compensate for bad
road or weather conditions or poor
driver judgment. Use good judgment and do not drive faster than
conditions will safely allow.

68PH0-74E
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
WARNING
• If the ABS warning light (1) on the
instrument panel comes on and
stays on while driving, there may
be a problem with the ABS system.
Ask your authorised Maruti Suzuki
workshop to inspect the ABS system immediately. If the ABS system
becomes inoperative, the brake
system will function as an ordinary
brake system that has no ABS.
• If the ABS warning light (1) and the
Brake system warning light (2) on
the instrument panel simultaneously stays on or comes on when
driving, both anti-lock function and
rear brake force control function
(Proportioning valve function) of
the ABS system may have failed. If
so, the rear wheels may easily skid
or the vehicle can even spin in the
worst case when braking on a slippery road or when hard braking
even on a dry paved road. Ask your
authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop
to inspect the ABS system immediately. Drive carefully, avoiding hard
braking as much as possible.
How the ABS Works
A computer continuously monitors wheel
speed. The computer compares the
changes in wheel speed when braking. If
the wheels slow suddenly, indicating a
skidding situation, the computer will
change braking pressure several times
each second to prevent the wheels from
locking. When you start your vehicle or
when you accelerate after a hard stop, you
may hear a momentary motor or clicking
noise as the system resets or checks itself.
WARNING
The ABS may not work properly if
tires or wheels other than those
specified in the owner’s manual are
used. This is because the ABS works
by comparing changes in wheel
speed. When replacing tires or
wheels, use only the size and type
specified in this owner’s manual.

WARNING
• WEAR YOUR SEAT BELTS AT ALL
TIMES. Even though air bags are
equipped at the front seating positions, the driver and all passengers
should be properly restrained at all
times, using the seat belts provided. Refer to the “Seat Belts and
Child Restraint Systems” section
for instructions on proper use of
the seat belts.
• Never drive while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.
Alcohol and drugs can seriously
impair your ability to drive safely,
greatly increasing the risk of injury
to yourself and others. You should
also avoid driving when you are
tired, sick, irritated, or under
stress.
The future performance and reliability of the engine depends on the care
and restraint exercised during its
early life. It is especially important to
observe the following precautions
during the initial 960 km of vehicle
operation.
• After starting, do not race the
engine. Warm it up gradually.
• Avoid prolonged vehicle operation
at a constant speed. Moving parts
will break in better if you vary your
speed.
• Start off from a stop slowly. Avoid
full throttle starts.
• Avoid hard braking, especially
during the first 320 km of driving.
• Do not drive slowly with the transaxle in a high gear.
• Drive the vehicle at moderate
engine speeds.
• Do not tow a trailer.
EXAMPLE
80G106
The purpose of the catalytic converter is to
minimize the amount of harmful pollutants
in your vehicle’s exhaust. Use of leaded
fuel in vehicles equipped with catalytic
converters is prohibited, because lead
deactivates the pollutant-reducing components of the catalyst system.
The converter is designed to last the life of
the vehicle under normal usage and when
unleaded fuel is used. No special maintenance is required on the converter. However, it is very important to keep the engine
properly tuned. Engine misfiring, which can
result from an improperly tuned engine,
may cause overheating of the catalyst.
This may result in permanent heat damage
to the catalyst and other vehicle components.
4-1
68PH0-74E
DRIVING TIPS
NOTICE
To minimize the possibility of catalyst
or other vehicle damage:
• Maintain the engine in the proper
operating condition.
• In the event of an engine malfunction, particularly one involving
engine misfire or other apparent
loss of performance, have the vehicle serviced promptly.
• Do not turn off the engine or interrupt the ignition when the transaxle
is in gear and the vehicle is in
motion.
• Do not try to start the engine by
pushing or towing the vehicle, or
coasting down a hill.
• Do not idle the engine with any
spark plug wires disconnected or
removed, such as during diagnostic testing.
• Do not idle the vehicle for prolonged periods if idling seems
rough or there are other malfunctions.
• Do not allow the fuel tank to get
near the empty level.
• Avoid driving your vehicle at
excessively high engine speeds, in
or around the red zone of the
tachometer (If equipped).
Improving Fuel Economy
EXAMPLE
The following instructions will help you
improve fuel economy.
Avoid excessive idling
If you are to wait for more than a minute
while you are parked, stop the engine and
start it again later. When warming up a
cold engine, allow the engine to idle until
the temperature gauge pointer comes up
to the “C” position (if the idling is not prohibited). In this position, the engine is sufficiently warm for starting off.
54G584S
WARNING
Be careful where you park and drive;
the catalytic converter and other
exhaust components can get very
hot. As with any vehicle, do not park
or operate this vehicle in areas where
combustible materials such as dry
grass or leaves can come in contact
with a hot exhaust system.
Avoid sudden acceleration
Sudden acceleration starting from rest or
while driving will consume fuel unnecessarily and shorten engine life. Start off
slowly.
Avoid unnecessary stops
Avoid unnecessary deceleration and stopping. Try to maintain a slow, steady speed
whenever possible. Slowing down and
then accelerating again uses more fuel.
Keep a steady cruising speed
Keep as constant a speed as road and
traffic conditions will permit.
4-2
68PH0-74E
DRIVING TIPS
Highway Driving
Keep the air cleaner clean
EXAMPLE
60A183S
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there
will be greater intake resistance, resulting
in decreased power output and increased
fuel consumption.
Keep weight to a minimum
Heavier the load, more fuel the vehicle
consumes. Take out any luggage or cargo
when it is not necessary.
Keep tire pressures correct
Underinflation of the tires can waste fuel
due to increased running resistance of the
tires. Keep your tires inflated to the correct
pressure shown on the label on the driver’s
door lock pillar.
When driving at high speeds, pay attention
to the following:
• Stopping
distance
progressively
increases with vehicle speed. Apply the
brakes far enough ahead of the stopping
point to allow for the extra stopping distance.
• On rainy days, hydroplaning can occur.
Hydroplaning is the loss of direct contact
between the road surface and the vehicle’s tires due to a water film forming
between them. Steering or braking the
vehicle while hydroplaning can be very
difficult, and loss of control can occur.
Keep speed down when the road surface is wet.
• At high speeds, the vehicle may be
affected by side winds. Therefore,
reduce speed and be prepared for unexpected buffeting, which can occur at the
exits of tunnels, when passing by a cut
of a hill, or when being overtaken by
large vehicles, etc.
Driving on Hills
EXAMPLE
79MH0401
EXAMPLE
79MS0T401
• When climbing steep hills, the vehicle
may begin to slow down and show a lack
of power. If this happens, you should
shift to a lower gear so that the engine
will again be operating in its normal
power range. Shift rapidly to prevent the
vehicle from losing momentum.
4-3
68PH0-74E
DRIVING TIPS
• When driving down a hill, the engine
should be used for braking by shifting to
next lower gear. (Do this with either a
CVT or a manual transaxle vehicle).
Driving on Slippery Roads
EXAMPLE
WARNING
Try not to hold the brake pedal down
too long or too often while going
down a steep or long hill. This could
cause the brakes to overheat, resulting in reduced braking efficiency.
Failure to take this precaution could
result in loss of vehicle control.
While moving uphill/gradient from a
stand still condition
• Apply the parking brake firmly so that the
vehicle does not roll backwards.
• Depress the Clutch pedal and Shift the
gearshift lever to 1st Select position.
• Do not slip the clutch.
• When ready to start, press accelerator
pedal and slowly release the clutch
pedal simultaneously. When the vehicle
starts to move, gradually release the
parking brake.
Tire Chains
Tire chains should only be used if they are
needed to increase traction or are required
by law. Make sure that the chains you use
are the correct size for your vehicle’s tires.
Also make sure that there is enough clearance between the fenders and the chains
as installed on the tires.
Install the chains on the front tires tightly,
according to the chain manufacturer’s
instructions. Retighten the chains after
driving about 1.0 km if necessary. With the
chains installed, drive slowly.
60G089S
Under wet road conditions you should
drive at a lower speed than on dry roads
due to possible slippage of tires during
braking. When driving on icy, snow-covered, or muddy roads, reduce your speed
and avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt
braking, or sharp steering movements.
NOTICE
• If you hear the chains hitting
against the vehicle body while driving, stop and tighten them.
• If your vehicle is equipped with full
wheel caps, remove the wheel caps
before installing the chains or the
wheel caps can be damaged by the
chain bands.
NOTICE
When descending down a hill,
NEVER turn the ignition key to the
“LOCK” position or press the engine
switch to change the ignition mode to
“LOCK” (OFF). Emission control system and CVT (If equipped) damage
may result.
4-4
68PH0-74E
DRIVING TIPS
If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck
If your vehicle gets stuck in snow, mud, or
sand, follow the directions below:
1) Shift the transaxle back and forth
between a forward range (or first gear
for manual transaxle) and reverse. This
will create a rocking motion which may
give you enough momentum to free the
vehicle. Press gently on the accelerator
to keep wheel spinning to a minimum
wheel rpm. Remove your foot from the
accelerator while shifting.
Do not race the engine. Excessive
wheel spin will cause the tires to dig
deeper, making it more difficult to free
the vehicle.
2) If your vehicle remains stuck after a few
minutes of rocking, we recommend you
to consult your authorised Maruti
Suzuki workshop or a roadside assistance service. If a towing service is not
available in an emergency, your vehicle
may be temporarily towed by a towing
cable or chain secured to the towing
hook either on the front of the vehicle or
on the rear of the vehicle. Refer to
“Frame Hooks” in the “OTHER CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT” section.
WARNING
Do not allow anyone to stand near
the vehicle when you are rocking it,
and do not spin the wheels faster
than an indicated 40 km/h on the
speedometer. Personal injury and/or
vehicle damage may result from spinning the wheels too fast.
NOTICE
Do not continue rocking the vehicle
for more than a few minutes. Prolonged rocking can cause engine
overheating or transaxle damage.
Driving on Wet Roads
NOTICE
• When driving on wet roads, avoid
driving through large amount of
standing water on the road. Large
amount of water entering the
engine compartment may cause
damage to the engine and or electrical components.
• If stuck in deep water, do not start
the engine.
• Water is incompressible substance,
water inside engine is harmful to
the engine.
WARNING
In addition to following the driving
tips in this section, it is important to
observe the following precautions.
• Make sure your tires are in good
condition and always maintain the
specified tire pressure. Refer to
“Tires” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE”
section
for
details.

DRIVING TIPS
WARNING
(Continued)
• Do not use tires other than those
specified by MARUTI SUZUKI.
Never use different sizes or types
of tires on the front and rear
wheels. For information regarding
the specified tires, refer to the Tire
Information Label located on the
driver’s door lock pillar.
• Never use oversized tires or special shock absorbers and springs
to raise (jack up) your vehicle. This
will change the handling characteristics. Oversized tires may also rub
against the vehicle body over
bumps, causing vehicle damage or
tire failure.
• After driving through water, test the
brakes while driving at a slow
speed to see if they have maintained their normal effectiveness. If
they are less effective than normal,
dry them by repeatedly applying
the brakes while driving slowly
until the brakes have regained their
normal effectiveness.
Do’s and Dont’s for Safe
Driving
EXAMPLE
Exercise care in handling your vehicle. Be
conscious of not only your own safety but
also the safety of others on the road, and
thus enjoy the best and most comfortable
driving experience.
Following are basic rules for safe driving.
Read them carefully for good understanding of the content so that you can enjoy
safe and pleasant driving in your vehicle.
Starting
68PHM4002
1) 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.
EXAMPLE
83K-04-008
4-6
68PH0-74E
DRIVING TIPS
3) Before moving, look around your vehicle to confirm safety.
4) Don’t accelerate suddenly, since it is
dangerous and wastes fuel.
General driving
1) Be sure to stop before a stop light or
stop sign. When moving into an intersection without any traffic lights or
signs, drive slowly to confirm safety.
2) Always follow other vehicles at a safe
distance in order to prevent a rear-end
collision, in case the vehicle ahead
makes a sudden stop.
5) When overtaking other vehicles, watch
out for oncoming vehicles and carefully
ensure safety.
6) Don’t attempt zigzag driving as it will
hinder your control over the vehicle and
may cause an accident.
7) Avoid reckless high speed driving and
try to drive at a safe speed suitable for
the road conditions while maintaining a
constant speed.
8) The higher the speed, the narrower the
driver’s visual range becomes. In such
a state, it is difficult to anticipate any
hazard and the driver feels fatigued.
Braking
EXAMPLE
EXAMPLE
EXAMPLE
83k-04-010
83K-04-009
3) Turn ON the turn signal at least 30
meters before making a turn or changing the lane so as to not be hit.
4) Before entering a corner, decelerate to
a safe speed. Don’t apply brakes during
cornering, or skidding may occur.
83K-04-012
9) Do not attempt sharp handling during
high speed driving. You may lose your
control over your vehicle.
10)When overtaking or changing lanes
while driving at a high speed, keep
ample vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
1) Use the parking brake when parking
your vehicle and shift the gear shift
lever into the first gear or reverse gear
position for the sake of safety.
2) Don’t use hand-braking unless unavoidable. It causes the vehicle to skid and a
collision may occur. It is especially dangerous when the tyres are worn out as
they skid more.
4-7
68PH0-74E
DRIVING TIPS
Night time driving
EXAMPLE
EXAMPLE
EXAMPLE
83K-04-011
Use foot brake in three stages
1. Warn the vehicle behind you
2. Gradually apply the brake.
3. Bring the vehicle to a halt.
3) When driving downhill, try not to apply
the brake but use the engine brake
effectively. Overuse of the foot-brake
may result in reduction of brake effectiveness.
Long distance driving
83K-04-014
83K-04-013
1) Drive at lower speeds during the night
than in the daytime, as the visual range
is restricted at night.
2) Avoid overtaking other vehicles at night.
Darkness bothers your sense of speed
and hinders your judgment of vehicleto-vehicle distance.
3) Don’t use headlights on high beam
unless its use is inevitable. It may cause
visual impairment to the driver of the
oncoming vehicle or the vehicle ahead
of you, which may cause an accident.
4) Always keep the window glasses clean.
Don’t operate the windshield wiper
when the windshield glass is dry else
the wiper blade and glass may get damaged.
1) Be sure to perform safety checks before
starting a trip.
2) Take rest at regular intervals to prevent
accidents which may occur due to feeling sleepy or tired.

68PH0-74E
DRIVING TIPS
Margin for Safety
It is important to allow yourself a margin for
safety during driving so that you can cope
with erroneous or unexpected driving of
other drivers. For that, observe the following.
• 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 accelerate suddenly, steer sharply
or stop suddenly.
• Keep ample gaps between driving
schedules.
• Observe traffic rules and regulations.
Conclusion
A perfect driver does not exist. The
endeavour of every motorist should be to
strive for perfection. Safety consciousness
not only ensures your safety and the safety
of other road users, it also helps reduce
the wear and tear on your vehicle, lengthens its life, gives better fuel efficiency and
ensures a comfortable driving experience.
Follow the do’s and dont’s listed, and
driving will never be the same again.

68PH00548
This selector is used to select the following
modes.
Fresh Air (f)
When this mode is selected, the indicator
light will go off and outside air is used.
Recirculated Air (g)
When this mode is selected, the indicator
light will come on, outside air is shut out
and inside air is recirculated. This mode is
suitable when driving through dusty or polluted air such as in a tunnel, or when
attempting to quickly cool down the interior.
“FRESH AIR” and “RECIRCULATED AIR”
are switched alternately each time the air
intake selector is pushed.
NOTE:
If you select “RECIRCULATED AIR” for an
extended period of time, the air in the vehicle can become contaminated. Therefore,
you should occasionally select “FRESH
AIR”.
Air conditioning switch (5)
To turn on the air conditioning system, set
the blower speed selector to a position
other than off and push in the “A/C” switch.
With this “A/C” switch operation, a indicator light will come on when the air conditioning system is on. To turn off the air
conditioning system, push the “A/C” switch
again.
During operation of the air conditioner, you
may notice slight changes in engine
speed. These changes are normal, the
system is designed so that the compressor
turns on or off to maintain the desired temperature.
Less operation of the compressor results
in better fuel economy.
System Operating Instructions
Natural ventilation
Select “VENTILATION” and “FRESH AIR”,
the temperature selector to the desired
temperature position, and the blower
speed selector to off. Fresh air will flow
through the vehicle during driving.
Forced ventilation
The control settings are the same as for
natural ventilation except you set the
blower speed selector to a position other
than off.
Normal heating (using outside air)
Select “HEAT” and “FRESH AIR”, the temperature selector to the desired temperature position and the blower speed selector
to the desired blower speed position. Setting the blower speed selector to a higher
blower speed position increases heating
efficiency.
Quick heating (Using recirculated air)
The control settings are the same as for
normal heating except you select “RECIRCULATED AIR”. If you use this heating
method for an extended period of time, the
air in the vehicle can become contaminated and the windows can become misty.
Therefore, use this method only for quick
heating and change to the normal heating
method as soon as possible.

OTHER CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
Head cooled/Feet warmed heating
Select “BI-LEVEL” and “FRESH AIR”, the
temperature selector to the desired temperature position, and the blower speed
selector to the desired blower speed position. Unless the temperature selector is in
the fully COLD position or fully HOT position, the air that comes out of the center
and side outlets will be cooler than the air
that comes out of the floor outlets.
Normal cooling
Set the air flow selector to “VENTILATION”,
the temperature selector to the desired temperature position and the blower speed
selector to the desired blower speed position, and turn on the “A/C” switch. Setting
the blower speed selector to a higher
blower speed position increases cooling
efficiency.
You can switch the air intake selector to
either “FRESH AIR” or “RECIRCULATED
AIR” as you desire. Choosing “RECIRCULATED AIR” increases cooling efficiency.
Quick cooling (Using recirculated air)
The control settings are the same as for
normal cooling except you select “RECIRCULATED AIR” and the highest blower
speed.
NOTE:
• If you select “RECIRCULATED AIR” for
an extended period of time, the air in the
vehicle can become contaminated.
Therefore, you should occasionally
select “FRESH AIR”.
• If your vehicle has been left in the sun
with the windows closed, it will cool
faster if you open the windows briefly
while you operate the air conditioner with
the air intake selector at “FRESH AIR”
and the blower at high speed.
Dehumidifying
Set the air flow selector to a desired air
flow selector position, the temperature
selector to the desired temperature position and the blower speed selector to the
desired blower speed position. Also select
“FRESH AIR” and turn on the “A/C” switch.
NOTE:
Because the air conditioner dehumidifies
the air, turning it on will help keep the windows clear, even when blowing heated air
using the “DEFROST” or “HEAT &
DEFROST” functions.
EXAMPLE
68PH00549
NOTE:
If you need maximum defrosting:
• select “DEFROST” and “FRESH AIR”,
• 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.

OTHER CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
Maintenance
If you do not use the air conditioner for a
long period, such as during winter, it may
not give the best performance when you
start using it again. To help maintain optimum performance and durability of your air
conditioner, it needs to be run periodically.
Operate the air conditioner at least once a
month for one minute with the engine
idling. This circulates the refrigerant and oil
and helps protect the internal components.
If your air conditioner is equipped with air
filters, clean or replace them as specified
in the “Maintenance Schedule” in the
“INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE” section.
NOTE:
Your vehicle uses the air conditioning
refrigerant HFC-134a, commonly called
“R-134a”. R-134a replaced R-12 around
1993 for automotive applications. Other
refrigerants are available, including recycled R-12, but only R-134a should be used
in your vehicle.
NOTICE
Using the wrong refrigerant may
damage your air conditioning system. Use R-134a only. Do not mix or
replace the R-134a with other refrigerants.

Notes on MP3/WMA/AAC
What is MP3?
• MP3 (MPEG audio layer3) is an audio
compression format that has become
the standard format among PC users. Its
merit is that the original audio data is
compressed to approximately 1/10 and
high sound quality is maintained. This
means that it is possible to store the data
of approximately 10 music CDs on a single CD-R/RW disc, which in turn makes
it possible to play music for a long time
without having to change the disc.
What is WMA?
• An abbreviation of “Windows Media
Audio,” WMA is an audio compression
format developed by Microsoft.
• WMA files for which the DRM (Digital
Rights Management) function is ON cannot be played.
• Windows MediaTM and the Windows®
logo are trademarks or registered trademarks of Microsoft Corporation in the
United States and other countries.
What is AAC?
• An abbreviation of “Advanced Audio
Coding,” AAC is an audio compression
format used by MPEG2 and MPEG4.
Points to remember when making MP3/
WMA/AAC files
Common
• High bit rate and high sampling frequency are recommended for high quality sounds.
• Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is not
recommended. Selecting VBR may
cause display of incorrect playing time
and jumpiness of playback.
• Playback sound quality varies depending on the encoding environment. For
details, refer to the user manual of the
encoding software and the writing software in use.
NOTICE
Never assign the “.mp3”, “.wma”, or
“.m4a” file name extension to a file if
it is not in the MP3/WMA/AAC format
file. Failure to observe this may result
in damage to the speaker due to
noise production.
Recording MP3/WMA/AAC files on a CD
media
• It is recommended not to write both CDDA files and MP3/WMA/AAC files on a
disc.
• If both CD-DA files and MP3/WMA/AAC
files are on the same disc, tracks may
not be played in the correct order or
some tracks may not be played at all.
5-44
68PH0-74E
OTHER CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
• When storing both MP3 data and WMA
data on the same disc, sort and place
them in different folders.
• Do not write files other than MP3/WMA/
AAC files and unnecessary folders on a
disc.
• MP3/WMA/AAC files should be named
to meet the standards and the file system specifications as shown below.
• The file extension “.mp3”, “.wma” or
“.m4a” should be assigned to files based
on their format independently.
• You may encounter a trouble in playing
MP3/WMA/AAC files or displaying information of MP3/WMA/AAC files depending on the writing software or CD
recorder in use.
• This unit does not have a play list function.
• It is recommended to write discs in Discat-Once mode even though Multi-session mode is supported.

VEHICLE LOADING AND TOWING
Vehicle Loading
Your vehicle was designed for specific
weight capacities. The weight capacities of
your vehicle are indicated by the Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and the
Permissible maximum Axle Weight (PAW,
front and rear). The GVWR and PAW
(Front and Rear) are listed in the “SPECIFICATIONS” section.
GVWR – Maximum permissible overall
weight of the fully loaded vehicle (including
all the occupants, accessories and cargo
plus the trailer nose weight if towing a
trailer).
PAW – (Front and Rear) Maximum permissible weight on an individual axle.
Actual weight of the loaded vehicle and
actual loads at the front and rear axles can
only be determined by weighing the vehicle. Compare these weights to the GVWR
and PAW (Front and Rear). If the gross
vehicle weight or the load on either axle
exceeds these ratings, you must remove
enough weight to bring the load down to
the rated capacity.
WARNING
Never overload your vehicle. The
gross vehicle weight (Sum of the
weights of the vehicle, all the occupants, accessories, cargo plus trailer
nose weight if towing a trailer) must
never exceed the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR). In addition,
never distribute a load so that the
weight on either the front or rear axle
exceeds the Permissible maximum
Axle Weight (PAW).
Trailer Towing
EXAMPLE
68PHM6001
WARNING
Always distribute cargo evenly. To
avoid personal injury or damage to
your vehicle, always secure cargo to
prevent it from shifting if the vehicle
moves suddenly. Place heavier
objects on the floor and as far forward in the cargo area as possible.
Never pile cargo higher than the top
of the seat backs.
Your vehicle was originally designed to
carry people and a normal amount of
cargo, not to tow a trailer. MARUTI
SUZUKI does not recommend you use
your vehicle to tow a trailer. Towing a trailer
can adversely affect handling, durability,
and fuel economy.

WARNING
You should take extreme care when
working on your vehicle to prevent
accidental injury. Here are a few precautions that you should be especially careful to observe:
• To prevent damage or unintended
activation of the air bag system or
seat belt pretensioner system, be
sure the battery is disconnected and
the ignition switch has been in the
“LOCK” position or the ignition
mode has been “LOCK” (OFF) for at
least 90 seconds before performing
any electrical service work on your
MARUTI SUZUKI. Do not touch air
bag system components, seat belt
pretensioner system components or
wires.
The wires are wrapped with yellow
tape or yellow tubing, and the couplers are yellow for easy identification.
• Do not leave the engine running in
garages or other confined areas.
(Continued)
(Continued)
• When the engine is running, keep
hands, clothing, tools, and other
objects away from the fan and drive
belt. Even though the fan may not
be moving, it can automatically
turn on without warning.
• When it is necessary to do service
work with the engine running, make
sure that the parking brake is set
fully and the transaxle is in Neutral
(For manual transaxle vehicles) or
Park (For CVT vehicles).
• Do not touch ignition wires or other
ignition system parts when starting
the engine or when the engine is
running, or you could receive an
electric shock.
• Be careful not to touch a hot
engine, exhaust manifold and
pipes, muffler, radiator and water
hoses.
• Do not allow smoking, sparks, or
flames around fuel or the battery.
Flammable fumes are present.
• Do not get under your vehicle if it is
supported only with the portable
jack provided in your vehicle.
• Be careful not to cause accidental
short circuits between the positive
and negative battery terminals.
(Continued)
WARNING
(Continued)
• Keep used oil, coolant, and other
fluids away from children and pets.
Dispose of used fluids properly;
never pour them on the ground,
into sewers, etc.

WARNING
The belts should also be examined to
ensure that they are not damaged.
If you need to replace or adjust the belt
have it done by your authorised Maruti
Suzuki workshop.
EXAMPLE
K10C model
When the engine is running, keep
hands, hair, clothing, tools, etc. away
from the moving fan and drive belts.
Make sure the drive belt tension is correct.
If the belt is too loose, insufficient battery
charging, engine overheating, poor power
steering, poor air conditioning, or excessive belt wear can result. When you press
the belt with your thumb midway between
the pulleys, there should be a deflection
according to the following chart.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
NOTICE
• When replacing the oil filter, it is
recommended that you use a MARUTI genuine replacement filter. If
you use an aftermarket filter, make
sure it is of equivalent quality and
follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Oil leaks from around the oil filter
or drain plug indicate incorrect
installation or gasket damage. If
you find any leaks or are not sure
that the filter has been properly
tightened,
have
the
vehicle
inspected by your authorised
Maruti Suzuki workshop.
Engine Coolant
Selection of Coolant
To maintain optimum performance and
durability of your engine, use MARUTI
Genuine Coolant or equivalent.
This type of coolant is best for your cooling
system as it:
• Helps maintain proper engine temperature.
• Gives proper protection against freezing
and boiling.
• Gives proper protection against corrosion and rust.
Failure to use the proper coolant can damage your cooling system. Your authorised
Maruti Suzuki workshop can help you
select the proper coolant.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging your cooling system:
• Always use a high quality ethylene
glycol base non-silicate type coolant diluted with distilled water at
the correct mixture concentration.
• Make sure that the proper mix is 50/
50 coolant to distilled water (Diesel) and 30/70 (Petrol) and in no
case higher than 70/30. Concentrations greater than 70/30 coolant to
distilled water will cause overheating conditions.
• Neither use 100% coolant nor 100%
plain water.
• Do not add extra inhibitors or additives. They may not be compatible
with your cooling system.
• Do not mix different types of base
coolants. Doing so may result in
accelerated seal wear and/or the
possibility of severe overheating
and extensive engine/CVT damage.
Coolant Level Check
Check the coolant level at the reservoir
tank, not at the radiator. With the engine
cool, the coolant level should be between
the “FULL” and “LOW” marks.

• Do not drink antifreeze or coolant
solution. If swallowed, do not
induce vomiting. Immediately contact a poison control center or a
physician.
• Avoid inhaling coolant mist or hot
vapors. If inhaled, remove to a
fresh air area.
• If coolant gets in the eyes, flush
with water and seek medical attention.
• Wash thoroughly after handling
coolant.
• Keep engine coolant out of the
reach of children and pets.
NOTICE
• The mixture you use should contain 50% concentration of antifreeze.
• If the lowest ambient temperature
in your area is expected to be –35°C
(–31°F) or below, use higher concentrations up to 60% following the
instructions on the antifreeze container.
EXAMPLE
68PH00708
If the coolant level is below the “LOW”
mark, more coolant should be added.
Remove the reservoir tank cap and add
coolant until the reservoir tank level
reaches the “FULL” mark. Never fill the
reservoir tank above the “FULL” mark.
NOTICE
When putting the cap on the reservoir tank, line up the mark on the cap
and the mark on the tank. Failure to
follow this can result in coolant leakage.
68PH00709
WARNING
It is hazardous to remove the reservoir tank cap (Degassing tank cap)
for a diesel engine when the water
temperature is high, because scalding fluid and steam may be blown out
under pressure. Wait until the coolant
temperature has lowered before
removing the cap.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Tubeless Tyres (If equipped)
The vehicle is equipped with Tubeless
Tyres. In tubeless tyre, a thin layer of butyl
rubber is used for lining the inside of the
tubeless tyre. This layer is to prevent air
loss and fulfilling the purpose of tube. The
air pressure is maintained by the sealing
between tyre bead and wheel rim. Tubeless tyres are having advantage of slow air
loss and preventing sudden deflation while
driving.
Care and maintenance tips for tubeless
tyres
1) Always maintain recommended inflation
pressure. Driving continuously at low
inflation pressure can lead to tyre damage.
2) In case any leakage is found, check for
any nail penetration/valve core damage or rim bent. Damaged wheel must
not be used.
3) In case tyre has run at low pressure, it
must be inspected for any defect.
4) Whenever new tyre is fitted, replace the
valve.
5) If continuous high speed driving is
required, increase tyres pressure by 5
psi over recommended inflation pressure.
6) Never run the tyre beyond TWI (Tread
wear indicator). The tyre is recommended to be replaced when the remaining
tread has worn to this point. The indicators are spaced across the tread
around the tyre marked by a triangular
symbol (TWI).
7) Always prefer tubeless tyre mounting
machine. In case of manual mountingtyre/wheel rim damage may occur.
8) In case of any problem, please get in
touch with authorised Maruti Suzuki
workshop.
Temporary Spare Tire (If equipped)
Your vehicle comes equipped with the temporary spare tire. It is only intended for
temporary emergency use, until the conventional tire can be repaired or replaced.
The inflation pressure of the temporary
spare tire should be checked at least
monthly. At the same time, check that the
tire is stored securely. If it is not, tighten it.
Note that two or more temporary spare
tires should not be used on one vehicle
simultaneously.
WARNING
The temporary spare tire and wheel
are intended for temporary emergency
use only. Continuous use of this spare
can result in tire failure and loss of
control. Always observe these precautions when using this spare:
• Your vehicle will handle differently
with this temporary spare.
• Do not exceed 80 km/h speed (Only
vehicle with 195/55R16 87H tire).
• Replace this spare with a standard
tire and wheel as soon as possible.
• Use of this spare may reduce
ground clearance.
• Set the specified tire pressure indicated on the tire information label
located on the driver’s door lock
pillar.
• Do not use tire chains on the temporary spare. If you must use tire
chains, rearrange the wheels so
standard tires and wheels are fitted
to the front axle.
• The temporary spare tire has a
much shorter tread life than the
conventional tires on your vehicle.
Replace the tire as soon as the
tread wear indicator appears.
• When replacing the temporary
spare tire, use a replacement tire
with the exact same size and construction.

For maintenance-free battery (Cap-less
type), you need not add water. For traditional type battery, which has water filler
caps, the level of the battery solution must
be kept between the “MAX” and the “MIN”
level lines at all times. If the level is found
to be below the “MIN” level line, add distilled water to the “MAX” level line. You
should periodically check the battery, battery terminals, and battery hold-down
bracket for corrosion. Remove corrosion
using a stiff brush and ammonia mixed
with water, or baking soda mixed with
water. After removing corrosion, rinse with
clean water.
If your vehicle is not going to be driven for
a month or longer, disconnect the cable
from the negative terminal of the battery to
help prevent discharge.

WARNING
Always be sure to replace a blown
fuse with a fuse of the correct amperage. Never use a substitute such as
aluminum foil or wire to replace a
blown fuse. If you replace a fuse and
the new one blows in a short period
of time, you may have a major electrical problem. Have your vehicle
inspected immediately by your
authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop.
Headlight Aiming
Since special procedures are required, we
recommend you take your vehicle to your
authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop for
headlight alignment.
Bulb Replacement
CAUTION
• Light bulbs can be hot enough to
burn your finger right after being
turned off. This is true especially
for halogen headlight bulbs.
Replace the bulbs after they
become cool enough.
• The headlight bulbs are filled with
pressurized halogen gas. They can
burst and injure you if they are hit
or dropped. Handle them carefully.
• To avoid injury by sharp-edged
parts of the body, wear gloves and
a long-sleeved shirt when replacing
light bulbs.
NOTICE
The oils from your skin may cause a
halogen bulb to overheat and burst
when the lights are on. Grasp a new
bulb with a clean cloth.
NOTICE
Frequent replacement of a bulb indicates the need for an inspection of
the electrical system. This should be
carried out by your authorised Maruti
Suzuki workshop.

If the Engine Overheats
The engine could overheat temporarily
under severe driving conditions. If the
engine coolant temperature gauge indicates 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 indicator is within the normal, acceptable temperature range between “H” and “C”.
WARNING
If you see or hear escaping steam,
stop the vehicle in a safe place and
immediately turn off the engine to let
it cool. Do not open the hood when
steam is present. When the steam
can no longer be seen or heard, open
the hood to see if the coolant is still
boiling. If it is, you must wait until it
stops boiling before you proceed.
If the temperature indication does not
come down to within the normal, acceptable range:
1) Turn off the engine and check that the
water pump belt and pulleys are not
damaged or slipping. If any abnormality
is 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, water
pump, and radiator and heater hoses. If
you locate any leaks that may have
caused the overheating, do not run the
engine until these problems have been
corrected.
3) If you do not find a leak, carefully add
coolant to the reservoir and then the
radiator, if necessary. (Refer to “Engine
Coolant” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section.)

APPEARANCE CARE
Corrosion Prevention
It is important to take good care of your
vehicle to protect it from corrosion. Listed
below are instructions for how to maintain
your vehicle to prevent corrosion. Please
read and follow these instructions carefully.
Important Information About Corrosion
Common causes of corrosion
1) Accumulation of road salt, dirt, moisture, or chemicals in hard-to-reach
areas of the vehicle underbody or
frame.
2) Chipping, scratches and any damage to
treated or painted metal surfaces
resulting from minor accidents or abrasion by stones and gravel.
Environmental conditions which accelerate corrosion
1) Road salt, dust control chemicals, sea
air or industrial pollution will all accelerate the corrosion of metal.
2) High humidity will increase the rate of
corrosion particularly when the temperature range is just above the freezing point.
3) Moisture in certain areas of a vehicle
for an extended period of time may promote corrosion even though other body
sections may be completely dry.
4) High temperatures will cause an accelerated rate of corrosion to parts of the
vehicle which are not well ventilated to
permit quick drying.
This information illustrates the necessity of
keeping your vehicle (Particularly the
underbody) as clean and dry as possible. It
is equally important to repair any damage
to the paint or protective coatings as soon
as possible.
How to Help Prevent Corrosion
Wash your vehicle frequently
The best way to preserve the finish on your
vehicle and to help avoid corrosion is to
keep it clean with frequent washing.
Wash your vehicle at least once during the
winter and once immediately after the winter. Keep your vehicle, particularly the
underside, as clean and dry as possible.
If you frequently drive on salted roads,
your vehicle should be washed at least
once a month during the winter. If you live
near the ocean, your vehicle should be
washed at least once a month throughout
the year.
For washing instructions, refer to the “Vehicle Cleaning” section.
Remove foreign material deposits
Foreign material such as salts, chemicals,
road oil or tar, tree sap, bird droppings and
industrial fall-out may damage the finish of
your vehicle if it is left on painted surfaces.
Remove these types of deposits as quickly
as possible. If these deposits are difficult to
wash off, an additional cleaner may be
required. Be sure that any cleaner you use
is not harmful to painted surfaces and is
specifically intended for your purposes.
Follow the manufacturer’s directions when
using these special cleaners.
Repair finish damage
Carefully examine your vehicle for damage
to the painted surfaces. If you find any
chips or scratches in the paint, touch them
up immediately to prevent corrosion from
starting. If the chips or scratches have
gone through to the bare metal, have a
qualified body shop make the repair.
Keep passenger and luggage compartments clean
Moisture, dirt or mud can accumulate
under the floor mats and may cause corrosion. Occasionally, check under these
mats to ensure that this area is clean and
dry. More frequent checks are necessary if
the vehicle is used off road or in wet
weather.
Certain cargos such as chemicals, fertilizers, cleaners, salts, etc. are extremely corrosive by nature. These products should
be transported in sealed containers. If a
9-1
68PH0-74E
APPEARANCE CARE
spill or leak does occur, clean and dry the
area immediately.
Store your vehicle in a dry, well-ventilated area
Do not park your vehicle in a damp, poorly
ventilated area. If you often wash your
vehicle in the garage or if you frequently
drive it in when wet, your garage may be
damp. The high humidity in the garage
may cause or accelerate corrosion. A wet
vehicle may corrode even in a heated
garage if the ventilation is poor.
Vehicle Cleaning
Cleaning the Interior
EXAMPLE
WARNING
Do not apply additional undercoating
or rust preventive coating on or
around exhaust system components
such as the catalytic converter,
exhaust pipes, etc. A fire could be
started if the undercoating substance
becomes overheated.
76G044S
WARNING
When cleaning the interior or exterior
of the vehicle, NEVER USE flammable
solvents such as lacquer thinners,
petrol, benzene or cleaning materials
such as bleaches or strong household detergents. The materials could
cause personal injury or damage to
the vehicle.
Vinyl upholstery
Prepare a solution of soap or mild detergent mixed with warm water. Apply the
solution to the vinyl with a sponge or soft
cloth and let it soak for a few minutes to
loosen dirt.
Rub the surface with a clean, damp cloth
to remove dirt and the soap solution. If
some dirt still remains on the surface,
repeat this procedure.
Fabric upholstery
Remove loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
Using a mild soap solution, rub stained
areas with a clean damp cloth. To remove
soap, rub the areas again with a cloth
dampened with water. Repeat this until the
stain is removed, or use a commercial fabric cleaner for tougher stains. If you use a
fabric cleaner, carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions and precautions.
9-2
68PH0-74E
APPEARANCE CARE
Leather upholstery
Remove loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
Using a mild soap or saddle soap solution,
wipe dirt off with a clean damp soft cloth.
To remove soap, wipe the areas again with
a soft cloth dampened with water. Wipe the
areas dry with a soft dry cloth. Repeat this
until the dirt or stain is removed, or use a
commercial leather cleaner for tougher dirt
or stains. If you use a leather cleaner,
carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions and precautions. Do not use solvent
type cleaners or abrasive cleaners.
NOTE:
• In order to keep leather upholstery looking good, it should be cleaned at least
twice a year.
• If leather upholstery becomes wet,
immediately wipe it dry with tissue paper
or a soft cloth. Water may cause leather
to harden and shrink if it is not wiped off.
• When parking on sunny days, select a
shady place or use a sunshade. If
leather upholstery is exposed to direct
sunlight for a long time, it may discolor
and shrink.
• As it is common with natural materials,
leather is inherently irregular in grain and
cowhide has spots in its natural state.
These do not affect the performance of
the leather in any way.
Seat belts
Clean seat belts with a mild soap and
water. Do not use bleach or dye on the
belts. They may weaken the fabric in the
belts.
Vinyl floor mats
Ordinary dirt can be removed from vinyl
with water or mild soap. Use a brush to
help loosen dirt. After the dirt is loosened,
rinse the mat thoroughly with water and
dry it in the shade.
Carpets
Remove dirt and soil as much as possible
with a vacuum cleaner. Using a mild soap
solution, rub stained areas with a clean
damp cloth. To remove soap, rub the areas
again with a cloth dampened with water.
Repeat this until the stain is removed, or
use a commercial carpet cleaner for
tougher stains. If you use a carpet cleaner,
carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions and precautions.
Instrument panel and console
Remove loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner.
Gently wipe dirt off with a tightly squeezed
damp clean cloth. Repeat this until the dirt
is removed.
NOTICE
Do not use chemical products that
contain silicon to wipe electrical
components such as the air conditioning system, audio, navigation
system, or other switches. These will
cause damage to the components.
Cleaning the Exterior
NOTICE
It is important that your vehicle be
kept clean and free from dirt. Failure
to keep your vehicle clean may result
in fading of the paint or corrosion to
various parts of the vehicle body.
Caring for Aluminum Wheels
NOTE:
• Do not use an acidic or alkaline detergent, or a cleaner containing petroleum
solvent to wash aluminum wheels.
These types of cleaner will cause permanent spots, discoloration and cracks
on finished surfaces and damage to center caps.
• Do not use a bristle brush and soap containing an abrasive material. These will
damage finished surfaces.
