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. CAUTION Be careful not to spill fuel containing alcohol while refuelling. Fuels containing alcohol can cause paint damage, which is not covered under Warranty. You must use unleaded petrol with an octane number (RON) of 91 or higher. 13 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 5% ethanol. Make sure this petrol-ethanol blend has octane ratings not 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 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. KEYS EXAMPLE 02-77A005A Your vehicle comes with a pair of identical keys. 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. Keep the tag in a safe place. If you lose your keys, you will need this number to have new keys made.

Never attempt to adjust the driver’s seat or seatback while driving. The seat or seatback could move unexpectedly, causing loss of control. Make sure that the driver’s seat and seatback are properly adjusted before you start driving. To avoid excessive seat belt slack, which reduces the effectiveness of the seat belts as a safety device, make sure that the seats are adjusted before the seat belts are fastened. EXAMPLE EXAMPLE EXAMPLE 02-77A007A Outside Reaview Mirrors Adjust the outside reaview mirrors so you can just see the side of your vehicle in the mirrors. WARNING Be careful when judging the size or distance of a vehicle or other object seen in the side convex mirror. Be aware that objects look smaller and appear farther away than when seen in a flat mirror. 3-4 83B004 83B003 Adjusting Seat Position (if equipped) The adjustment lever for front seat (driver seat only) is located under the front of the seat, on the inboard side. To adjust the seat position, pull up on the adjustment lever and slide the seat forward or rearward. After adjustment, try to move the seat forward and rearward to ensure that it is securely latched. Adjusting Seatbacks (Except for rigid seat) WARNING Seatbacks should always be in an upright position when driving, or seat belt effectiveness may be reduced. Seat belts are designed to offer maximum protection when seatbacks are in the fully upright position. 16 BEFORE DRIVING SEAT BELTS (Front seats) The seatbacks can be adjusted to different angles. To adjust the seatback angle, pull up the lever on the inboard side of the seat, move the seatback to the desired position, and release the lever to lock the seatback in place. WARNING EXAMPLE 07-65D231A WARNING Wear Your Seat Belts at All Times. WARNING 2nd row fixed seat This seat is fixed firmly and cannot be folded. The driver and co-driver must be properly restrained by wearing seat belts at all times, to minimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash. • Never allow persons to ride in the cargo area of a vehicle. In the event of an accident, there is a much greater risk of injury for persons who are not riding in a seat with their seat belt securely fastened. • Seat belts should always be adjusted so the lap portion of the belt is worn low across the pelvis, not across the waist. Shoulder straps should be worn on the outside shoulder only, and never (Continued) 02-65D201A 3rd row fixed seat (if equipped) This seat is fixed firmly and cannot be folded. 17 02-65D200A 3-5 BEFORE DRIVING (Continued) under the arm. Seat belts should never be worn with the straps twisted and should be adjusted as tightly as is comfortable to provide the protection for which they have been designed. A slack belt will provide less protection than one which is snug. • Make sure that each seat belt buckle is inserted into the proper buckle catch. It is possible to cross the buckle in the rear seat. • Do not wear your seat belt over WARNING (Continued) hard or breakable objects in your pockets or on your clothing. If an accident occurs, objects such as glasses, pens etc. under the seat belt can cause injury. • Never use the same seat belt on more than one occupant and never attach a seat belt over an infant or child being held on an occupant’s lap. Such seat belt use could cause serious injury in the event of an accident. (Continued) (Continued) WARNING (Continued) 02-65D199A • Pregnant women should use seat belts, although specific recommendations about restraint use should be made by the woman’s medical advisor. Remember that the lap portion of the belt should be worn as low as possible across the hips, as shown in the diagram. (Continued) 3-6 • Periodically inspect seat belt assemblies for excessive wear and damage. Seat belts should be replaced if webbing becomes frayed, contaminated, or damaged in any way. It is essential to replace the entire seat belt assembly after it has been worn in a severe impact, even if damage to the assembly is not obvious. • Children aged 12 and under should ride properly restrained in the rear seat. • Infants and small children should never be transported unless they are properly restrained. Restraint systems for infants and small children can be purchased locally and should be used. Make sure that the system you purchase meets applicable safety standards. Read and follow all the directions provided by the manufacturer. • Avoid contamination of seat belt webbing by polishes, oils, chemicals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning may safely be carried out using mild soap and water. • For children, if the shoulder belt irritates the neck or face, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle. 18 BEFORE DRIVING To Adjust the Belt • 02-60A036A 02-81A102A There are two types of seat belt “Lap-shoulder belt" and "Lap belt". The type of belts provided in your vehicle depends on the vehicle specification. To fasten the seat belt, pull the buckle tongue attached to the seat belt across your body and press it into the buckle catch on the opposite side until you hear a “click”. 02-60A040A Press button 02-60A039A To reduce the risk of sliding under the belt during a collision, position the lap portion of the belt across your lap as low on your hips as possible and adjust the belt to a snug fit using the proper method for each type of the belt as described below. Make sure that the belt is not twisted. 02-60A037A 19 Lap-shoulder belt Pull the shoulder portion of the belt upwards through the tongue plate. To unfasten the belt, press the release button on the buckle catch. The length of the diagonal shoulder strap adjusts itself to allow freedom of movement. The seat belt has an emergency locking retractor (ELR), which is designed to lock the seat belt only during a sudden stop or impact. WARNING No modifications or additions should be made by the user which will either prevent the seat belt adjusting devices from operating to remove slack, or prevent the seat belt assembly from being adjusted to remove slack. 3-7 BEFORE DRIVING To lengthen, release the tongue from the buckle unit, pull the tongue (adjuster) in the direction of the arrow, at right angles to the belt. The buckle unit and the belt tightened as previously described. 02-60A045A • Lap belt On this belt the adjuster is incorporated in the tongue unit. To tighten the belt, pull the free end of the belt across alongside the lap strap until it is adjusted to a snug comfortable position. Seat Belt Inspection Periodically inspect the seat belts to make sure they work properly and are not damaged. Check the webbing, buckles, latch plates, retractors, anchorages, and guide loops. Replace any seat belts which do not work properly or are damaged. WARNING Be sure to inspect all seat belt assemblies after any collision. Any seat belt assembly which was in use during a collision (other than a very minor one) should be replaced, even if damage to the assembly which was not in use during a collision should be replaced if it does not function properly or is damaged in any way.

A lower gear will allow the engine to provide braking. Avoid riding the brakes or they may overheat, resulting in brake failure. • When driving on slippery roads, be sure to slow down before changing down. Excessive and or sudden changes in engine speed may cause loss of traction, which could cause you to lose control. • Make sure that the vehicle is completely stationary before you change into reverse. CAUTION • To help avoid clutch damage, do not use the clutch pedal as a footrest while driving or use the clutch to keep the vehicle stationary on a hill. Depress the clutch fully when changing gear. • When changing gears or starting off, do not race the engine. Racing the engine can shorten engine life and prevent smooth operation. 7-3 OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE BRAKING 06-76A015A 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. WARNING If water gets into the brake drums, 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. 7-4 Servo assisted brakes Your vehicle has servo assisted brakes. If servo 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. WARNING Do not switch off the engine while vehicle is in motion. e.g. This will cause loss of vaccum assistance leading to reduction of braking of substantially. WARNING On loose surface where the wheels can easily loose traction (such as gravel etc.) the stopping distance required for your vehicle may be greater than for a comparable vehicle with a convontional brake system. Allow for extra stopping distance when driving on loose surface. RUNNING-IN CAUTION 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 1000 kms 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. • If possible, avoid hard braking, especially during the first 320 kms of driving. • Do not drive slowly with the transmission in a high gear. • Drive the vehicle at moderate engine speeds. 48 OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE CATALYTIC CONVERTER may cause overheating of the catalyst. This may result in permanent heat damage to the catalyst and other vehicle components. CAUTION 06-76A044A The purpose of the catalytic converter is minimize the amount of harmful pollutants in your vehicle 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, 49 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 transmission 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. 06-76A004A 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. 7-5 OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE IMPROVING FUEL ECONOMY The following instructions will help you to improve fuel economy. correct pressure shown on the label located below the driver’s side door latch striker. 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, do not allow the engine to idle or apply full throttle unitil the engine has reached operating temperature. Allow the engine to warm up by driving. Never drive the vehicle when the water level on the road is more than 300 mm. Water may enter into the engine causing damage in engine. It will not be covered under warranty. Avoid “fast” starts: Fast starts away from lights or stop signs 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. 7-6 WARNING 06-60G087A Keep the air cleaner clean: A dirty air cleaner will cause too much fuel supply to the engine for the amount of air being supplied. The result is waste of fuel due to incomplete combustion. Keep weight to a minimum: The heavier the load, the more fuel the vehicle consumes. Take out any luggage or cargo when it is not necessary. Keep tyre pressures correct: Underinflation of the tyres can waste fuel due to increased running resistance of the tyres. Keep your tyres inflated to the 50 DRIVING TIPS DRIVING TIPS High-speed driving ...................................................... 8-1 Driving on hills ...........................................................8-1 Driving on slippery roads .........................................8-2 Driving on wet roads ................................................. 8-2 Do’s and Dont’s for Safe Driving ........................... 8-3 51 DRIVING TIPS HIGH-SPEED DRIVING 07-60A184A WARNING z z 8-1 Wear Your Seat Belts at All Times. The driver and all passengers should be properly restrained at all times, using the seatbelts provided. Refer to the “SEATBELTS” 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. When driving at a high-speed, pay attention to the following: z Stopping distance progressively increases with vehicle speed. Apply the brakes far enough ahead of the stopping point to allow for the extra stopping distance. z On rainy days, “Aquaplaning” can occur. “Aquaplaning” is the loss of direct contact between the road surface and the vehicle’s tyres due to a water film forming between them. Steering or braking the vehicle while “Aquaplaning” can be very difficult, and loss of control can occur. Keep speed down when the road surface is wet. z 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 07-76A005A z z When climbing steep hills, the car may begin to slow down and show a lack of power. If this happens, you should change to a lower gear so that the engine will again be operating in its normal power range. Change rapidly to prevent the car from losing momentum. When driving down a hill, the engine should be used for braking by shifting to next lower gear. 52 DRIVING TIPS 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. CAUTION When descending a down hill, NEVER turn the ignition key to the “OFF” position. Emission control system damage may result. DRIVING ON SLIPPERY ROADS z If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck If your vehicle gets stuck in snow, mud, or sand, follow the directions below: 1) Change back and forth between first gear 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 spin to a minimum. Remove your foot from the accelerator while changing gear. Do not race the engine. Excessive wheel spin will cause the tyres to dig deeper, making it more difficult to free the vehicle. 2) If your vehicle remains stuck after a few minutes of rocking, get another vehicle to pull you out. WARNING 07-76A021A Under wet road conditions you should drive at a lower speed than on dry roads due to possible slippage of tyres during braking. When driving on icy, snowcovered, or muddy roads, reduce your speed and avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt braking, or sharp steering movements. 53 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. CAUTION Do not continue rocking the vehicle for more than a few minutes. Prolonged rocking can cause engine overheating or transmission damage. DRIVING ON WET ROADS CAUTION z z z 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 till water level drops. Water is incompressible substance, water inside engine is harmful to the engine.” 8-2 DRIVING TIPS DON'T WARNING In addition to following the driving tips in this section, it is important to observe the following precautions. z Make sure your tyres are in good condition and always maintain the specified tyre pressure. Refer to “TYRES” in the “INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE” section for details. z Do not use tyres other than those specified by MARUTI SUZUKI. Never use different sizes or types of tyres on the front and rear wheels. For information regarding (Continued) 8-3 (Continued) the specified tyres, refer to the “SPECIFICATIONS” section. z Never use oversize tyres or special shock absorbers and springs to raise (jack up) your vehicle. This will change the handling characteristics. z After driving through water, 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. Do’s and Dont’s for Safe Driving 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. This section contains basic rules for safe driving. Read it carefully for good under-standing of the content so that you can enjoy safe and pleasant driving in your Maruti Suzuki vehicle. 72F-08-002 Starting 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. 3) Before moving off, look forward and back to confirm safety. 4) Don’t start quickly, since it is dangerous and wastes fuel. General driving 1) Be sure to stop before the stop light and stop sign. When moving into the inter-section without any traffic lights or signs, drive slowly to confirm safety. 54 DRIVING TIPS 72F-08-008 72F-08-012 2) Always follow other vehicles at a safe distance in order to prevent a rear-end collision, in case the vehicle ahead make a sudden stop. 3) Turn ON the turn signal at least 30 meters before making a turn or chang-ing the lane so as not to be hit from behind. 4) Before entering a corner, decelerate to a safe speed. Don’t apply brakes during cornering, or a cornering skid may occur. 5) When overtaking other vehicles, watch out for the oncoming vehicle and care-fully confirm the safety. 6) Don’t attempt zigzag driving which will hinder your control over the vehicle and cause an accident. 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 on a downhill, try not to apply the brake but use the engine brake effectively. Overuse of the foot-brake may result in total brake failure. 4) Avoid reckless high speed driving and try to drive at a safe speed suitable for the road conditions while maintaining a constant speed. 55 72F-08-011 Braking 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 handbraking unless una-voidable. It causes the vehicle to skid and a rearend collision occur. It is especially dangerous when the tyres are worn, for they allow a larger skid. 72F-08-015 5) 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 much fatigued. 8-4 DRIVING TIPS 6) Never do sharp handling during high speed driving. You will lose your control over your vehicle. 7) When overtaking or changing the lane while driving at a high speed, keep an ample vehicle-to-vehicle distance. Long distance driving 1) Be sure to perform safety checks before starting a trip. 2) Take rest at certain intervals to prevent an accident which may occur when you are sleepy or tired. 2) Don’t overtake other vehicles at night. Darkness bothers your sense of speed and hinders your judgement on the vehicle-to-vehicle distance. 3) Don’t use the high headlight beam unless its use is inevitable. Its dazzle may blitz the driver of the oncoming vehicle, thus causing an accident. 4) Always keep the window glasses clean. Don’t operate the windshield wiper when the windshield glass is dry or the wiper blade and glass may get dam-aged. 72F-08-022 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. 72F-08-020 Night time driving 1) Drive more slowly at night than in the daytime, for the visual range is restricted at night. 8-5 72F-08-021 56 DRIVING TIPS y Drive at a safe speed. y Maintain a sufficient distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead. y Don’t force yourself to overtake other vehicles. y Don’t make quick start, hard steering or sudden stops. y Allow an ample time in the driving schedule. y 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, prolongs its life, gives more mileage and ensures a comfortable driving experience. Follow the do’s and don’ts listed, and driving will never be the same again. 57 8-6 VEHICLE LOADING VEHICLE LOADING WARNING Never overload your vehicle. The gross vehicle weight (sum of the weights of the loaded vehicle, driver, and passengers) must never exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight rating (GVWR). 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. 9-1 58 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE Maintenance schedule ............................................. 10-1 Periodic Maintenance Schedule ............................ 10-2 Drive belt .................................................................. 10-7 Engine oil and filter .............................................. 10-7 Gear oil ................................................................... 10-10 Engine coolant ...................................................... 10-11 Windscreen washer fluid ..................................... 10-13 Air cleaner .............................................................. 10-13 Spark plugs ............................................................ 10-14 Brakes ...................................................................... 10-15 Steering ................................................................... 10-17 Clutch pedal ........................................................... 10-17 Tyres ........................................................................ 10-17 Tubeless tyre .......................................................... 10-19 Battery ..................................................................... 10-21 Fuses ....................................................................... 10-22 Bulb replacement .................................................. 10-23 Wiper blades .......................................................... 10-26 Air Conditioning System (if equipped) ............. 10-27 58 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE Continued z 09-60A187A z WARNING You should take extreme care when working on your vehicle to prevent accidental injury.

If the belt needs to be replaced or adjusted, have it done by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. 10-7 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE Refilling Remove the oil filler cap and pour oil slowly through the filler hole to bring the oil level to the upper limit on the dipstick. Be careful not to overfill. Too much oil is almost as bad as too little oil. After refilling, start the engine and allow it to idle for about a minute. Stop the engine, wait about 5 minutes and check the oil level again. 09-76A074A Specified oil Be sure that the engine oil you use comes under the quality classification of SG+, SH, SJ or SL. Select the appropriate oil viscosity according to the above chart. For temperatures above –4OF (–20OC), we highly recommended you use SAE 5W30 oil. Oil Level Check It is important to keep the engine oil at the correct level for proper lubrication of your vehicle’s engine. Check the oil level with the vehicle on a level surface. The oil level indication may be inaccurate if the vehicle is on a slope. The oil level should be checked either before starting the engine or at least 5 minutes after stopping the engine. Pull out the oil dipstick, wipe oil off with a clean cloth, insert the dipstick all the way into the engine, then remove it again. The oil on the stick should be between the upper and lower limits shown on the stick. If the oil level indication is near the lower limit, add enough oil to raise the level to the upper limit. EXAMPLE OPEN CLOSE 09-77A058A Changing Engine Oil and Filter Drain the engine oil while the engine is still warm. 1) Remove the oil filler cap. 2) Place a drain pan under the drain plug. 3) Using a wrench, remove the drain plug and drain out the engine oil. 09-60A196A 10-8 66 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE WARNING The engine oil temperature may be high enough to burn your fingers when the drain plug is loosened. Wait until the drain plug is cool enough to touch with your bare hands. 4) Reinstall the drain plug and gasket. Tighten the plug with a wrench to the specified torque 1. Oil filter 2. Oil filter wrench Tightening torque specification 34.5±5N.m (3.5±0.5Kg-m, 25.3±3.61b-ft). 09-60B141A WARNING New and used oil can be hazardous. Children and pets may be harmed by swallowing new or used oil. Keep new and used oil and used oil filters away from children and pets. Continuous contact with used engine oil has been found to cause (skin) cancer in laboratory animals. Brief contact with used oil may irritate skin. To minimize your exposure to used oil, wear a long-sleeve shirt and moistureproof gloves (such as dishwashing gloves) when changing oil. If oil contacts your skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water. Launder any clothing or rags if wet with oil. Recycle or properly dispose of used oil and filters. 67 CAUTION To tighten the oil filter properly, it is important to accurately identify the position at which the filter gasket first contacts the mounting surface. 5) 09-60A198A Replace the oil filter 1) Using an oil filter wrench, turn the oil filter counterclockwise and remove it. 2) Using a clean rag, wipe off the mounting surface on the engine where the new filter will be seated. 3) Smear a little engine oil around the rubber gasket of the new oil filter. 4) Screw on the new filter by hand until the filter gasket contacts the mounting surface. Tighten the filter to the specified torque using an oil filter wrench. Tightening torque specification 14.0 ± 2 N-m CAUTION To prevent oil leakage, make sure that the oil filter is tight, but do not overtighten it. 10-9 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE GEAR OIL Refill with oil and check for leaks. 1) Pour oil through the filler hole and install the filler cap. For the approximate capacity of the oil, refer to the “CAPACITIES” item in the “SPECIFICATIONS” section. 2) Start the engine and look carefully for leaks at the oil filter and drain plug. Run the engine at various speeds for at least 5 minutes. 3) Stop the engine and wait for 5 minutes. Check the oil level again and add oil if necessary. Check for leaks again. CAUTION When replacing the oil filter, it is recommended that you use a MARUTI genuine replacement filter. CAUTION 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 MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. 10-10 1 Manual Transmission 75W-90 80W-90 2 09-60G166A Specified Gear Oil When replacing gear oil, use the appropriate viscosity and grade as shown in the chart below and quantity shown in the "SPECIFICATIONS" section. We highly recommend you use SAE 75W-90 gear oil. (SAE 80W-90 for differential). API GRADE Manual transmission Differential GL-4 GL-5 (Hypoid gear oil) Tightening torque (1,2): 2.4 kg-m (17.0 lb-ft) 09-77A059A 1 Oil filler and level plug 2 Oil drain plug Gear oil level check The manual transmission and differentials are lubricated with gear oil. To check the gear oil level in of the above locations use the following procedure: 1) Park the vehicle on a level surface with the parking brake applied. The stop the engine. 2) Remove the oil filler plug 1. 3) If the oil level comes upto the bottom of the oil filler plug hole, the oil level is correct. If so, reinstall the plug. 4) If the oil level is low, add gear oil through the oil filler plug hole 1 until the oil level reaches the bottom of the oil filler hole, then reinstall the plug. 68 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE Gear oil change To change the gear oil in manual transmission or differential, use the following procedure: 1) Remove the oil filler plug 1. 2) Remove the drain plug 2, drain the oil, and reinstall the drain plug. 3) Pour new gear oil of the specified type through the oil filler hole until the oil level reaches the bottom of the oil filler hole. 4) Reinstall the oil filler plug. WARNING After driving the vehicle, the gear oil temperature may be high enough to burn you. Wait until the oil filler plug is cool enough to touch with your bare hands before inspecting or replacing gear oil. CAUTION When tightening these plugs, apply sealing compound to the plug threads to prevent oil leakage, and tighten them to the specified torque shown in the diagram. 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. Adding Coolant 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 reserve tank above the “FULL” mark. EXAMPLE ENGINE COOLANT FULL LOW 09-60A208A 1 Oil Filler and level plug. 2 Oil drain plug. 09-77A025A 09-76A071A 69 10-11 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE CAUTION z z When adding or replacing coolant, use a high quality ethylene glycol antifreeze diluted with distilled water. If the lowest ambient temperature in your area is expected to be -15 0 C (5 0 F) or above, make the antifreeze concentration of the mixture you use at least 30% but no more than 50%. If –160C (30F) or below, make the concentration at least 50%. If the 50% concentration does not provide adequate protection against freezing, follow the instructions on the antifreeze container to obtain the desired freezing point. When putting the cap on the reservir tank, line up the arrow on the cap and the arrow on the tank, or coolant can leak out. 10-12 09-70G146A 09-60G099A For regular maintenance, you do not need to remove the radiator cap. But, if you need to remove the radiator cap for some reason, do as follows: When the engine is cool, remove the radiator cap by turning it slowly to the left until a "stop" is felt. Do not press down while turning the cap. Wait until any pressure is released, then press down on the cap and continue turning it anticlockwise. WARNING It is hazardous to remove the radiator cap 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. Coolant Replacement if you simply drain and refill the cooling system, much air will be trapped in the cooling system and the engine will be overheated. 70 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE WINDSCREEN WASHER FLUID AIR CLEANER Front (and Rear if equipped) EXAMPLE 09-76A064A If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, intake resistance will be increased with a resultant decrease in power output and increase in fuel consumption. 09-77A044A 09-77A072A The air trapped in the cooling system must be bleed when filling coolant. Trust this job to your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. Check that there is washer fluid in the tank. Refill it if necessary. Use a good quality windscreen washer fluid, diluted with water as necessary. CAUTION Do not drive the vehicle with the air trapped in the cooling system. If you do, the engine will overheat and can be damaged. WARNING Do not use “anti-freeze” solution in the windscreen washer reservoir. This can severely impair visibility when sprayed on the windscreen, and also damage your vehicle’s paint. Check and clean periodically according to the following procedure: 1. Take off the air cleaner case cover. Remove the element from the air cleaner case cover. 2. This air cleaner element is of dry type. Remember that it needs cleaning according to the following method. 3. Blow off dust on cleaner element by compressed air from inside the element, or replace the element as necessary. CAUTION Damage may result if the washer motor is operated with no fluid in the washer tank. 71 10-13 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE SPARK PLUGS To access the spark plugs, 1. disconnect the coupler while pushing the release lever, 2. remove the bolts, and 3. pull the spark plug boots. Continued z CAUTION z 09-76A007A You should inspect spark plugs periodically for carbon deposits. When carbon accumulates on a spark plug, a strong spark may not be produced. Remove carbon deposits with a wire or pin and adjust the spark plug gap. When disconnecting the spark plug cables, pull on the boot, not on the cable itself. Pulling on the cable can damage it. Continued z When installing the spark plugs, screw them in with your fingers to avoid stripping the threads. Tighten with a torque wrench to the specified torque. Do not allow contaminants to enter the engine through the spark plug holes when the plugs are removed. Never use spark plugs with the wrong thread size. 0.8 ~ 0.9 mm LOOSEN CORRECT TIGHTEN WRONG 09-60B307A 09-76A009A Spark plug Tightening torque 20.0 - 30.0 N-m (2.0 - 3.0 kg-m, 15.0-22.0 lb-ft) 09-76A008A 10-14 CAUTION When replacing spark plugs, you should use the brand and type specified for your vehicle.

If spark plug replacement does not solve the problem, have the ignition wiring and other ignition system inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. WARNING Failure to follow the guidelines below can result in personal injury or serious damage to the brake system. Continued MAX MIN WARNING BRAKES z 09-77A026A Brake Fluid Check the brake fluid level by looking at the reservoir in the engine compartment. Check that the fluid level is between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines. If the brake fluid level is near the “MIN” line, fill it up to the “MAX” line with MARUTI GENUINE brake fluid. 73 z If the brake fluid in the reservoir drops below a certain level, the brake warning light on the instrument cluster will come on (the engine must be running with the parking brake fully disengaged). Should the light come on, immediately ask your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer to inspect the brake system. A rapid fluid loss indicates a leak in the brake system which should be inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer immediately. Continued Continued z Brake fluid can harm your eyes and damage painted surfaces. Use caution when refilling the reservoir. z Do not use any fluid other than MARUTI GENUINE brake fluid. Do not use reclaimed fluid or fluid that has been stored in old or open containers. It is essential that foreign particles and other liquids are kept out of the brake fluid reservoir. NOTE: With disc brakes, the fluid level can be expected to gradually fall as the brake pads wear. Brake Pedal Check if the brake pedal stops at the regular height without “spongy” feeling when you depress it. If not, have the brake system inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. If you doubt the brake pedal for the regular height, check it as follows: 10-15 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE NOTE: When measuring the distance between the brake pedal and floor wall, be sure not to include the floor mat or rubber on the floor wall in your measurement. 20 kg (44 lbs) WARNING (A) 09-60A225A Pedal to wall minimum distance (A) 145 mm (5.7 in.) With the engine running, measure the distance between the brake pedal and floor wall when the pedal is depressed with approximately 30 kg (66 lbs) of force. The minimum distance required is as specified. Since your vehicle’s brake system is selfadjusting, there is no need for pedal adjustment. If the pedal to floor wall distance as measured above is less than the minimum distance required, have your vehicle inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. 10-16 If you experience any of the following problems with your vehicle’s brake system, have the vehicle inspected immediately by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. z Poor braking performance z Uneven braking (Brakes not working uniformly on all wheels.) z Excessive pedal travel z Brake dragging z Excessive noise z Pedal pulsation (Pedal pulsates when depressed.)

If the play is more or less than the above, or clutch dragging is felt with the pedal fully depressed, have the clutch inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. Tyre Inspection Inspect your vehicle’s tyres periodically by performing the following checks: 1) Measure the air pressure with a tyre gauge. Adjust the pressure if necessary. WARNING z z TYRES z z 09-77A029A The front and rear tyre pressure specifications for your vehicle are listed on the Tyre Information Label which is located on the driver's door lock pillar. Both the front and rear tyres should have the specified tyre pressure. (D) z Air pressures should be checked when the tyres are cold or you may get inaccurate readings. Check the inflation pressure from time to time while inflating the tyre gradually, until the specified pressure is obtained. Never underinflate or overinflate the tyres. Underinflation can cause unusual handling characteristics or can cause the rim to slip on the tyre bead, resulting in an accident or damage to the tyre or rim. Overinflation can cause the tyre to burst, resulting in personal injury. Overinflation can also cause unusual handling characteristics which may result in an accident. 09-60G107A 75 10-17 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE WARNING Tread wear indicator Hitting curbs and running over rocks can damage tyres and affect wheel alignment. Be sure to have tyres and wheel alignment checked periodically by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. Indicator location mark 4) Check for loose wheel nuts. 5) Check that there are no nails, stones, or other objects sticking into the tyres. WARNING Replacing the wheels and tyres equipped on your vehicle with certain combinations of aftermarket wheels and tyres can significantly change the steering and handling characteristics of your vehicle. Therefore, use only those wheel and tyre combinations approved by MARUTI SUZUKI as standard or optional equipment for your vehicle. 09-81A056A 2) Check that the depth of the tread groove is more than 1.6 mm (0.06 in). To help you check this, the tyres have mouldedin tread wear indicators in the grooves. When the indicators appear on the tread surface, the remaining depth of the tread is 1.6 mm (0.06 in) or less and the tyre should be replaced. 3) Check for abnormal wear, cracks and damage. Any tyres with cracks or other damage should be replaced. If any tyres show abnormal wear, have them inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. 10-18 WARNING Your MARUTI SUZUKI is equipped with tyres which are all the same type and size. This is important to ensure proper steering and handling of the vehicle. Never mix tyres of different size or type on the four wheels of your vehicle. The size and type of tyres used should be only those approved by MARUTI SUZUKI as standard or optional equipment for your vehicle. CAUTION Replacing the original tyres with tyres of a different size may result in false speedometer or odometer readings. Check with your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer before purchasing replacement tyres that differ in size from the original tyres. 76 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE Tubeless Tyres 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. 09-65D112A Tyre Rotation To avoid uneven wear of your tyres and to prolong their life, rotate the tyres as illustrated. Tyres should be rotated as mentioned in periodic maintenance schedule. After rotation, adjust front and rear tyre pressures to the specification listed on your vehicle’s Tyre Inflation Pressure Label. Wheel Balancing If the vehicle vibrates abnormally on smooth road, have the wheel balanced at Maruti Suzuki Authorized Workshop. Wheel Alignment In case of abnormal tyre wear or pulling towards one side, have the wheel aligned at Maruti Suzuki Authorized Workshop. 77 Care and maintenance tips for tubeless tyres 1. Always maintain recommended inflation pressure. Driving continously 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 pressue, it must be inspected for any defect. 4. Whenver new tyre is fitted, replace the valve. 5. If continous 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 triagular 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 MARUTI SUZUKI authorised dealer. 09-77A066A 10-19 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE Changing Wheels To change a tyre, use the following procedure: 1) Remove the jack, tools and spare tyre from the vehicle.

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. it off-road. 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. WARNING Foreign material can lodge between the fuel tank of your vehicle and the skid plate which covers it. You should periodically clean out any foreign material which has acculumated in this area, since it could create a fire hazard. Wash your vehicle immediately after using 93 12-1 BODY WORK CARE VEHICLE CLEANING Repair finish damage Carefully examine your vehicle for damage to the painted surfaces. especially if it is used off-road. Should 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 cargo 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 cargo such as chemicals, fertilizers, cleaners, salts, etc., are extremely corrosive by nature. These products should be transported in sealed containers. If a spill or leak does occur, clean and dry the area immediately. 12-2 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. WARNING Do not apply additional undercoating or rust preventive coating on or around exhaust system components such as the exhaust pipes, etc. A fire could be started if the undercoating substance becomes overheated. 12-76A025A 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.
