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. 1-1 66RH0-74E 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. 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 fueled 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.

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 “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. 80JM122 If the immobilizer/keyless push start system warning light blinks or comes on when the ignition switch is in “ON” position or the ignition mode is “ON”, the engine will not start. NOTE: If the immobilizer/keyless push start system warning light blinks or comes on, a message may be shown on the information display. For vehicles without a keyless push start system If this light blinks or comes on, turn the ignition switch to “LOCK” position, and then turn it back to “ON” position. If the light still blinks or comes on after the ignition switch is turned back to “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 a keyless push start system If this light blinks or comes on, change the ignition mode to LOCK (OFF), and then change it back to “ON”. Also refer to “If the master warning indicator light blinks or comes on 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 or comes on 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. 2-1 66RH0-74E 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, ask your authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop as soon as possible to deactivate the lost one, and to make a new key or remote controller. • 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.

Once the system is armed, any attempt to open a door by using any other means (*) than the keyless entry system transmitter, keyless push start system remote controller or request switch, or open the engine hood, will cause the alarm to be triggered. * These means include the following: – The key – The lock knob on a door – The central door locking switch – The tailgate emergency lever Also, in case that you have set the shock sensor to enabled state and set sensitivity of the pre-warning function and full blast warning function to a level other than 0, the alarm will be triggered if any attempt to tamper with the vehicle. The shock sensor can be selected enabled or disabled state, and sensitivity of each warning can be adjusted as desired. To set the shock sensor, ask your authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop or use the setting mode of the information display. NOTE: • The default setting of the shock sensor is in the disabled state. Set to the enabled state and adjust sensitivity of each warning according to your preference. For details on how to use the information display, refer to “Information display” in this section. • Your dealer may have already set the shock sensor of the vehicle to the enabled state before you purchase it. Consult your dealer for further information. NOTE: • The security system generates alarms when any of the predetermined conditions is met. However, the system does not have any function of blocking unauthorized entry into the vehicle. • Always use the keyless entry system transmitter, keyless push start system remote controller or request switch to unlock the doors when the security system has been armed. Using a key instead will trigger the alarm. • If a person who does not know the security system is going to drive the vehicle, we recommend you explain the system and its operation to the person, or disable the system beforehand. Mistakenly triggering the alarm may cause a nuisance to others. • Even if the security system is armed, you should still be careful to guard against theft. Do not leave money or things of value in the vehicle. How to arm the security system (when enabled) Lock all doors (including the tailgate) using the keyless entry system transmitter, keyless push start system remote controller or request switch. The security system indicator (1) will start blinking rapidly, and the security system will be armed in about 5 seconds. When the system is armed, the indicator continues to blink at intervals of approximately 2 seconds. EXAMPLE (1) 62R0148 2-15 66RH0-74E BEFORE DRIVING NOTE: • To prevent the alarm from being accidentally triggered, avoid arming it while anyone remains inside the vehicle. The alarm will be triggered if any person inside opens the door, tailgate, engine hood, or swings the vehicle (if the shock sensor is in the enabled state). • The security system is not armed when all doors are locked using the key from outside, using the door lock knobs or the central door locking switch from inside. • If any door is not operated within approximately 30 seconds after the doors have been unlocked using the keyless entry system transmitter, keyless push start system remote controller or request switch, the doors are automatically locked again. When the doors are locked, the security system will be armed in about 5 seconds if the system is in the enabled state. • If the security system indicator (1) blinks when the ignition switch is in “ON” position or the ignition mode is ON, there may be something wrong with the security system. Ask your authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop to inspect the system. How to disarm the security system Simply unlock the doors using the keyless push start system remote controller, the request switch or the keyless entry system transmitter. The security system indicator will go out, indicating that the security system is disarmed. How to stop the alarm Should the alarm be triggered accidentally, the alarm will stop by the following operations. • Press the engine switch to change the ignition mode to ON or turn the ignition switch to “ON” position. • Unlock the doors using the keyless push start system remote controller, the request switch, or the keyless entry system transmitter. NOTE: • Even after the alarm has stopped, if you lock the doors using the keyless entry system transmitter, keyless push start system remote controller or request switch, 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 change the ignition mode to 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, keyless push start system remote controller or request switch, 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. 2-16 66RH0-74E BEFORE DRIVING (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. How to switch the state of the security system When the security system has been already disarmed, you can switch the system from the enabled state to the disabled state, and vice versa, using the following method. EXAMPLE 1) Sit in the driver’s seat and make sure that all doors, tailgate and engine hood are closed.

WARNING • 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 as follows: – the lap portion of the belt should be worn low across the pelvis, not across the waist. – the shoulder straps should be worn on the outside shoulder only, and never under the arm. – the shoulder straps should be away from your face and neck, but not falling off your shoulder. (Continued) 2-26 66RH0-74E BEFORE DRIVING EXAMPLE EXAMPLE as low as possible across the hips Across the pelvis 65D201 WARNING (Continued) • 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 a snug belt. • Make sure that each seat belt buckle is inserted into the proper buckle catch. It is possible to cross the buckles in the rear seat. (Continued) 65D199 WARNING (Continued) • Pregnant women should use seat belts, although specific recommendations about driving 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 illustration. • Do not fasten your seat belt over 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. (Continued) WARNING (Continued) • Never use the same seat belt for 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. • 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. (Continued) 2-27 66RH0-74E BEFORE DRIVING WARNING (Continued) • For children, if the shoulder belt irritates the neck or face, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle. • 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. • Do not insert any items such as coins and clips into the seat belt buckles, and be careful not to spill liquids into these parts. If foreign materials get into a seat belt buckle, the seat belt may not work properly. • All 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 upright position. Lap-shoulder belt Emergency locking retractor (ELR) The seat belt has an emergency locking retractor (ELR), which is designed to lock the seat belt only during a sudden stop or impact. It also may lock if you pull the belt across your body very quickly. If this happens, let the belt go back to unlock it, and then pull the belt across your body more slowly. EXAMPLE Low on hips Safety reminder EXAMPLE Sit up straight and fully back 60A040 Low on hips To reduce the risk of sliding under the belt during a crash, position the lap portion of the belt across your lap as low on your hips as possible and adjust it to a snug fit by pulling the shoulder portion of the belt upward through the latch plate.

If the driver has buckled his or her seat belt and later unbuckles the seat belt, the reminder system will be activated from Step 1) or 2) according to the vehicle’s speed. When the vehicle’s speed is less than 15 km/h, the reminder will start from Step 1). When the vehicle’s speed is more than 15 km/h, the reminder will start from Step 2). The reminder will be automatically canceled when the driver’s seat belt is buckled or the ignition switch is turned off, or the engine switch is pressed to change the ignition mode to LOCK (OFF). WARNING It is absolutely essential that the driver and passengers fasten their seat belts at all times. Persons who are not fastening seat belts have a much greater risk of injury if an accident occurs. Make a regular habit of buckling your seat belt before putting the key in the ignition or pressing the engine switch. 66RH029 2-31 66RH0-74E BEFORE DRIVING Rear outside seat belt guide Seat belt inspection EXAMPLE WARNING EXAMPLE Inspect all seat belt assemblies after any crash. Any seat belt assembly which was in use during a crash (other than a very minor one) should be replaced, even if damage to the assembly is not obvious. Any seat belt assembly which was not in use during a crash should be replaced if it does not function properly, it is damaged in any way or the seat belt pretensioners were activated (that is, if the front air bags were activated). 75RM007 68PH00242 When you move a seatback, make sure the belt webbing and latch plate are hooked in the seat belt hangers. Periodically check if the seat belts work properly and are not damaged. Make sure the webbing, buckles, latch plates, retractors, anchorages and guide loops. Replace any seat belts which do not work properly or are damaged. 2-32 66RH0-74E BEFORE DRIVING Child restraint systems Child restraint EXAMPLE EXAMPLE 60G332 Infant restraint - rear seat only EXAMPLE 80JC016 Booster seat EXAMPLE MARUTI SUZUKI highly recommends that you use a child restraint system to restrain infants and small children. Many different types of child restraint systems are available; make sure that the restraint system you select meets applicable safety standards. All child restraint systems are designed to be secured in vehicle seats either by seat belts (lap belts or the lap portion of lapshoulder belts) or by special rigid lower anchor bars built into the seat. Whenever possible, MARUTI SUZUKI recommends that child restraint systems be installed on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in rear seating positions than in front seating positions. If you must use a front facing child restraint in the front passenger’s seat, adjust the passenger’s seat as far back as possible. NOTE: Observe any statutory regulation about child restraints. 80JC007 80JC008 2-33 66RH0-74E BEFORE DRIVING EXAMPLE EXAMPLE WARNING Children could be endangered in a crash if their child restraint systems are not properly secured in the vehicle. When installing a child restraint system, follow the instructions below. Secure the child in the restraint system according to the manufacturer’s instructions. 58MS030 WARNING 65D608 EXAMPLE 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. WARNING If you install a child restraint system in the rear seat, slide the front seat far enough forward so that the child’s feet do not touch the front seatback. This will help avoid injury to the child in the event of an accident. 65D609 2-34 66RH0-74E BEFORE DRIVING Installation with lap-shoulder seat belts Installation with a lap belt ELR type belt EXAMPLE EXAMPLE CAUTION Adjust the height of the rear head restraint (if equipped) or remove it for fitting the child restraint, as necessary. However, if a booster cushion not equipped with the head restraint is fitted, the rear seat head restraint should not be removed. If the rear head restraint is removed for fitting the child restraint, you need to install it again after removing the child restraint. If the child restraint is fitted improperly, a child sitting in it could be injured in a crash. NOTE: Stow the removed head restraint (if equipped) in the luggage compartment so it will not cause inconvenience to the occupants. Pull to tighten 68PH00243 68PH00244 Install your child restraint system according to the instructions provided by the child restraint system manufacturer.

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, make sure the label on the seat belt at the bottom part. If the letter “E11” 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 “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 triggered only when there is a frontal crash severe enough to trigger the air bags and the seat belts are fastened. For precautions and general information including servicing the pretensioner system, refer to “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 fastening 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 “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 crashes. They are not designed to activate in rear impacts, roll-overs, or minor frontal crashes. The pretensioners can be activated only once. If the pretensioners are activated (that is, if the air bags are activated), have authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop as soon as possible. 2-40 66RH0-74E BEFORE DRIVING If the AIR BAG light on the instrument cluster does not blink or come on briefly when the ignition switch is turned to “ON” position or the engine switch is pressed to change the ignition mode to ON, stays on 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. 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. 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, make sure that the battery is disconnected and the ignition switch has been in “LOCK” position or the ignition mode has been LOCK (OFF) for at least 90 seconds before performing any electrical service work on your vehicle. 2-41 66RH0-74E BEFORE DRIVING Supplemental restraint system (Air bags) EXAMPLE WARNING This section describes the protection provided by your vehicle’s supplemental restraint system (air bags). Read and follow all instructions carefully to minimize your risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash. (3) (2) (5) Your vehicle is equipped with a supplemental restraint system consisting of the following components in addition to a lapshoulder belt at each seating position. (1) Driver’s front air bag module (2) Front passenger’s front air bag module (3) Front seat belt pretensioners (4) Air bag controller (5) Forward crash sensor (1) (4) (3) 66RM02005 2-42 66RH0-74E BEFORE DRIVING Front air bags Air bag symbol meaning WARNING An air bag supplements or adds to the crash protection offered by seat belts. The driver and all passengers must be properly restrained by fastening seat belts at all times, whether or not an air bag is mounted at their seating position, to minimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash. EXAMPLE EXAMPLE “AIR BAG” light 68PH00247 72M00150 You may find this label on the sun visor. WARNING 63J030 If the AIR BAG light on the instrument cluster does not blink or come on when the ignition switch is first turned to “ON” position, or the ignition mode is first changed to ON, or AIR BAG light stays on, or comes on while driving, the air bag system (or the seat belt pretensioner system) may not work properly. Have the 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 crashes when the ignition switch is in “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 crashes, since they would offer no protection in those types of accidents. Since an air bag deploys only one time during an accident, seat belts are needed to restrain occupants from further movements during the accident. Therefore, an air bag is not a substitute for seat belts. To maximize your protection, always fasten your seat belts. Be aware that no system can prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident. 2-43 66RH0-74E BEFORE DRIVING Driver’s front air bag EXAMPLE located behind the passenger’s side of the dashboard. The words “SRS AIRBAG” are molded into the air bag covers to identify the location of the air bags. Conditions of front air bags deployment (inflation) EXAMPLE 80J097 • Frontal crash with a fixed wall that does not move or deform in more than about 25 km/h. 81P30640 Front passenger’s front air bag EXAMPLE EXAMPLE 58MS030 WARNING 62R0135 The driver’s front air bag is located behind the center pad of the steering wheel and the front passenger’s front air bag is 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. Refer to “Seat belts and child restraint systems” section for details on securing your child. EXAMPLE (1) (1) 80J098E • Crash such as above at an angle of about 30 degrees (1) or less from the front. 2-44 66RH0-74E BEFORE DRIVING Conditions of front air bags may inflate Receiving a strong impact to the lower body of your vehicle, the front air bags will inflate in many cases. EXAMPLE EXAMPLE EXAMPLE 80J101 80J099 • Hitting a curb or medial strip. EXAMPLE 80J119 • Landing hard or falling. • Crash from the side. Front air bags might inflate in a strong impact Front air bags do not inflate basically in rear collision, side collision or rollovers, etc., however, these might inflate in a strong impact. EXAMPLE EXAMPLE 80J110 • Vehicle rollover. 80J100E • Falling into a deep hole or ditch. 80J120 • Crash from the rear. 2-45 66RH0-74E BEFORE DRIVING Front air bags may not inflate The front air bags may not inflate when the impact is absorbed since the crash object moved, vehicle body deformed, or crash angle was greater than about 30 degrees from the front. EXAMPLE EXAMPLE EXAMPLE 80J104 • Crash with a utility pole or stumpage. 80J102 • Approximately 50 km/h or lower speed frontal crash to a stopped vehicle. EXAMPLE 80J106 • Frontal crash with a fixed wall that does not move or deform in less than about 25 km/h. EXAMPLE (1) EXAMPLE 80J105E 80J103 • Crash that the front of your vehicle goes under the bed of a truck etc. • Crash with a fixed wall or guardrail at an angle of greater than about 30 degrees (1) from the front. 80J107 • Crash angle is offset from the vehicle angle (offset crash). 2-46 66RH0-74E BEFORE DRIVING How the system works In a frontal crash, 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 appropriate 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 against a front air bag. 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. 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. Front occupants should not lean on or sleep against the door. Refer to “Seat adjustment” section and “Seat belts and child restraint systems” section in this section for details on proper seat and seat belt adjustments. EXAMPLE 65D610 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. Even though your vehicle is moderately damaged by a crash, it may not be severe enough to trigger front air bags to inflate. If your vehicle sustains any front-end or side damage, have the air bag system inspected by an authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop to ensure that it works properly. 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, and which sensors activated the deployment. 2-47 66RH0-74E BEFORE DRIVING 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 this happens, ask authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop to check the air bag system as soon as possible. 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. Remind anyone who services your vehicle that it has air bags. To prevent damage or unintended inflation of the air bag system, make sure that the battery is disconnected and the ignition switch has been in “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 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. 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. 2-48 66RH0-74E BEFORE DRIVING Instrument cluster (1) (2) (3) (4) Speedometer Tachometer (if equipped) Information display Warning and indicator lights With tachometer EXAMPLE (2) (1) (3) (2) FOR DIESEL (4) (4) 66RM02003 2-49 66RH0-74E BEFORE DRIVING Speedometer Without tachometer EXAMPLE The speedometer indicates vehicle speed.

Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a potentially lethal gas that is colorless and odorless. Since carbon monoxide is difficult to detect by itself, 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 that 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 do so, make sure that 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 grill 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 leakage. Any damage or leakage 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 the “INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE” section for details. 3) Look for fluid and oil leakage. 3-1 66RH0-74E OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE NOTE: It is normal for water to drip from the air conditioning system after use. 4) Make sure that 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 (if equipped). 7) Check the brake pedal and the parking brake lever. 8) Adjust the mirrors. 9) Check that you and all passengers have properly fastened your seat belts. 10)Check that all warning lights come on as the ignition switch is turned to “ON” position or the engine switch is pressed to change the ignition mode to ON. 11)Check all gauges. 12)Check 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) 6) Engine oil level Coolant level Brake fluid level Battery solution level Windshield washer fluid level 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. Close the hood securely after checking for proper latch operation. See the item “All latches, hinges and locks” of “Chassis, body and others” in “Maintenance schedule” in the “INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE” section for lubrication schedule. WARNING Make sure that 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 consumption depends on viscosity and quality of the oil and your driving conditions. 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 it is difficult to judge the accurate 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 gradually becomes diluted with fuel or moisture, making it appear that the oil level has not changed. 3-2 66RH0-74E 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. Ignition switch (vehicle without keyless push start system) EXAMPLE EXAMPLE 68PH00310 The ignition switch has the following four positions: 65D611 WARNING To avoid possible injury, do not operate controls by reaching through the steering wheel. LOCK This is the normal parking position. It is the only position in which the key can be removed. 3-3 66RH0-74E OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE Turn to “LOCK” START This is the position for starting the engine using the starter motor. The key should be released from this position as soon as the engine starts. Ignition key reminder 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. Push EXAMPLE EXAMPLE 60G033 You must push in the key to turn it to “LOCK” position. It locks the ignition, and prevents normal use of the steering wheel after the key is removed.

NOTICE Do not downshift to a lower gear at the speed faster than the maximum allowable speeds for the next lower speed, or severe engine damage can result. WARNING • Reduce your speed and downshift to a lower gear before going down a long or steep hill. 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, slow down before downshifting. Excessive and/or sudden changes in engine speed may cause loss of traction, which could cause you to lose control. NOTICE Make sure that the vehicle is completely stationary before you shift into reverse. Auto Gear Shift Auto Gear Shift is a 5-speed forward/ reverse transaxle. Auto Gear Shift has the basic features of conventional manual transaxle, but clutch operation and transaxle gear shifting are controlled electronically. NOTICE Do not depress both the brake pedal and accelerator pedal simultaneously. This can cause damage or overheating to the clutch. NOTE: When you open the driver’s door, the Auto Gear Shift systems run automatically and you may hear an operating noise. This sound does not indicate malfunction. NOTICE • 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 slope. Depress the clutch fully when shifting. • When shifting or starting off, do not race the engine. Racing the engine can shorten engine life and cause negative effect to smooth shifting. 3-17 66RH0-74E OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE The features are as follows: Starting the engine When starting the engine, always place the gearshift lever in the “N” position and depress the brake pedal firmly. The engine cannot be started unless the gearshift lever is in the “N” position and the brake pedal is depressed. Depress brake pedal indicator EXAMPLE EXAMPLE 76MH0A047 66RH043 EXAMPLE This light will come on if you do not depress the brake pedal in the following situations. • When starting the engine. • When the engine is on and the gearshift lever is shifted from “N” position to “D”, “M” or “R” position. • When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position or the ignition mode is ON, and the engine is off, the gearshift lever is shifted into any position. This light will also come on if one of the gears cannot be engaged and the system is unable to re-try shifting when you shift the gearshift lever from “N” position to “D”, “M” or “R” position. If you parked vehicle with gear engaged on last time (if you can see “1” or “R”), shift into “N” (Neutral) and depress the brake pedal. Hold the brake pedal while starting the engine. You can hear buzzer in short time. Clutch operation You can select either the Drive (D) mode or the Manual (M) mode. Since this vehicle controls clutch operation electronically in either mode, you do not need to operate the clutch. 66RH044 3-18 66RH0-74E OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE Creeping function This vehicle has a creeping function that helps the vehicle to start smoothly by engaging the clutch. When the gearshift lever is in any of the positions “D”, “M” or “R”, and you release your foot from the brake pedal, the vehicle starts slowly without depressing the accelerator pedal. The creeping function is disabled if you depress the brake pedal or pull up the parking brake lever. Creep is not possible in manual mode with 2nd gear engaged. NOTE: If the driver’s door is opened and/or the parking brake lever is engaged with the gear in the “M”, “D” or “R” position, the creeping function will not operate. Parking and Stopping the vehicle Auto Gear Shift does not have a parking position. Park the vehicle with a gear engaged. Make sure that the gearshift lever is “D”, “M”, or “R”. Also, check the instrument cluster to make sure that the transaxle is engaged in “1” or “R” position. NOTICE A buzzer will sound continuously if the vehicle is operated with the gearshift lever in-between of each shift positions. The vehicle will become inoperative if you continue to operate the vehicle with the gearshift lever inbetween shift positions. Drive (D) mode When the Drive (D) mode is activated, the most appropriate gear position is automatically selected upon operation of the accelerator pedal and variation of vehicle speed. EXAMPLE 66RM03002 Normal driving: 1) Start the engine as instructed in “Starting the engine” in this section. 2) With your foot on the brake pedal, shift the gearshift lever to the “D” position. When the gearshift lever is shifted to the “D” position, the gear will be shifted to 1st. NOTE: • If 1st gear cannot be engaged even though the gearshift lever has been shifted from the “N” to the “D” position, the system will re-try shifting automatically. This will take some time, noise may be heard from the gears, and shifting gear shock may occur. However, they do not indicate a malfunction. • The “N” indicator will flush, the depress brake pedal indicator will come on and a warning buzzer (long pulse sound) will sound if any of the following cases occur; – If you shift the gearshift lever from the “N” to the “D” position without depressing the brake pedal. – If the system is unable to re-try shifting You should depress the brake pedal and shift the gearshift lever to “N” position, then shift to “D” again. 3) Release the parking brake and brake pedal. 4) Depress the accelerator pedal slowly. WARNING • While driving the vehicle, do not shift the gearshift lever to the “N” position. The engine brake may not work and you may get involved in an unexpected accident. If you return the gearshift lever from “N” to “D” because of unintended shifting, the gear position will be shifted according to the current vehicle speed. • Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the engine running. This operation prevents the vehicle from moving due to unintended activation of the creeping function. 3-19 66RH0-74E OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE NOTICE If the gearshift lever cannot shift into any position, or the gear is changed to “N” position automatically when the vehicle speed becomes less than 10 km/h, there may be a systematic malfunction. In this case, ask your authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop to inspect the Auto Gear Shift system as soon as possible. NOTICE Do not operate the system as described below. The life cycle of the clutch may be reduced. • Using the accelerator pedal to hold the vehicle on an uphill slope with the gearshift lever in the “D” or “M” position. If you perform this operation for a certain period of time, a warning buzzer will sound. • Shifting the gearshift lever to the “D”, “M” or “R” position while racing the engine. • Driving at low speed using a high gear. • Holding the vehicle on an uphill slope using the creeping function. If you perform this operation for a certain period of time, a warning buzzer will sound. Starting off on an uphill/downhill: Uphill 1) Apply the parking brake firmly so that the vehicle does not roll backwards. 2) Shift the gearshift lever to the “D” position while depressing the brake pedal. Make sure that the gear position indicator in the instrumental cluster displays 1st gear. 3) Release the brake pedal and depress the accelerator pedal gradually, and when the vehicle starts to move, release the parking brake and depress the accelerator pedal to start off. NOTICE On an uphill slope, never hold the vehicle at a stop using only the accelerator pedal or the creeping function. If you perform this operation for a certain period of time, a warning buzzer will sound, and in some cases the engine will stall. This can also cause excessive damage to the clutch. Downhill 1) Depress the brake pedal and shift the gearshift lever to the “D” position. Make sure that the gear is in 1st by checking the gear position indicator. 2) Release the brake pedal and depress the accelerator pedal slowly. Even if the accelerator pedal is not depressed, the clutch will be engaged when the vehicle speed increases. Using engine braking: When driving on a downhill slope, downshifting is recommended. So you can use engine braking. By placing the gearshift lever in the “M” position, the Manual (M) mode is selected, and you can shift to a lower gear manually. For details of downshift operation, refer to “Upshift and downshift” in the “Manual (M) mode”. Manual (M) mode The gears are not shifted automatically. To shift the transaxle, the driver must operate the gearshift lever to the “+” or “–” direction. As for conventional manual transaxle vehicles, releasing the accelerator pedal a little may help the transaxle to shift smoothly. 3-20 66RH0-74E OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE Upshift and downshift: Downshifting The gear position is displayed on the gear position indicator. The gear position indicator shows the transaxle gear position. Before starting off, always make sure the gear position indicator to make sure that the transaxle is engaged in 1st or reverse, then depress the accelerator pedal. It’s possible to start-off vehicle in 2nd gear using manual mode, from stop condition. Upshifting EXAMPLE EXAMPLE 66RH046 66RH045 Pull the gearshift lever to the “+” direction and release it. Every time the lever is operated, the transaxle is upshifting 1 step in the order of 1st  2nd  3rd  4th  5th gear. Push the gearshift lever to the “–” direction and release it. Every time the lever is operated, the transaxle is downshifted in the order 5th  4th  3rd  2nd  1st gear. EXAMPLE EXAMPLE 66RM03004 NOTE: • Always use 1st gear while starting off an uphill slope, otherwise you can damage the clutch. • To downshift smoothly, the engine runs fast in some cases. This is done intentionally by the system and is not malfunction. • When driving down a hill, downshift and use the engine braking appropriately. If necessary, continuous downshifting is possible. However, if downshifting more than 3 steps, gear shifting will take more time. • When the gear is shifting, a noise can be heard in some case. This is not malfunction. 66RM03003 3-21 66RH0-74E OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING • Be careful when accelerating, upshifting, downshifting or braking on a slippery surface. Sudden acceleration or engine braking could cause the vehicle to spin or skid. While starting off on a slippery or snowy roads, please use 2nd gear (if required). • To drive down a long or steep hill, reduce your speed and downshift. Remember, if you ride the brakes excessively, they may overheat and fail. • While driving the vehicle, do not shift the gearshift lever to “N” position. The engine brake may not work and you may get involved in an unexpected accident. If you return the gearshift lever from “N” to “M” because of unintended shifting, the gear position will be shifted according to the current vehicle speed. • Do not apply the parking brake while driving. Otherwise, it could cause a skid and you may get involved in an unexpected accident. NOTICE • If the gearshift lever cannot shift into any position, or the gear is changed to “N” position automatically when the vehicle speed becomes less than 10 km/h, there may be a systematic malfunction. In this case, ask your authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop to inspect the Auto Gear Shift system as soon as possible. • In manual (M) mode, the system does not upshift even if the engine speed reaches the rev-limit. • The system will not allow shifting up or down to a gear that would cause engine over-revving or under-revving. • If frequently driving at low speed using a high gear position, the life cycle of the clutch may be reduced. • Frequent downshifting (more than 3 positions consecutively) causes the reduction of transaxle life. Starting off: 1) Start the engine as instructed in “Starting the engine” in this section. 2) With your foot on the brake pedal, shift the gearshift lever to the “M” position. When the gearshift lever is shifted to the “M” position, the gear will be shifted to 1st. Before starting off, always make sure that the intended gear is engaged by checking the gear position indicator, then depress the accelerator pedal. NOTE: • If 1st gear cannot be engaged even though the gearshift lever has been shifted from the “N” to the “M” position, the system will re-try shifting automatically. This will take some time, noise may be heard from the gears, and shifting gear shock may occur. However, they do not indicate malfunction. • The “N” indicator will flash, the depress brake pedal indicator will come on and a warning buzzer (long pulse sound) will sound if any of the following cases occur; – If you shift the gearshift lever from the “N” to the “M” position without depressing the brake pedal. – If the system is unable to re-try shifting You should depress the brake pedal and shift the gearshift lever to “N” position, then shift to “M” position again a few seconds later. 3-22 66RH0-74E OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE 3) Release the parking brake and brake pedal.

Otherwise, the vehicle may move unexpectedly and may cause an accident. 3-24 66RH0-74E OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE NOTICE • On a slope, never hold the vehicle at a stop using only the accelerator pedal or the creeping function. If you perform this operation for a certain period of time, a warning buzzer will sound, and in some cases the engine will stall. This can also cause excessive damage to the clutch. • If the gearshift lever is operated more than necessary, the system may not allow operation of the gearshift lever for a certain period of time, and the gear may not be shifted appropriately. Therefore, do not operate the gearshift lever if not necessary. Parking Unlike an automatic transaxle, Auto Gear Shift does not have a parking position. The vehicle can be parked with the gearshift lever at “D” or “R” position. Remember, even though the transaxle is in gear, you must set the parking brake firmly. 1) Apply the parking brake and the brake pedal firmly. 2) While depressing the brake pedal, shift the gearshift lever to the “R” position on a downhill slope, and to the 1st position in the drive (D) mode or the “M (1)” position in the manual (M) mode on an uphill slope and confirm the gear posi- tion by checking the gear position indicator. 3) Stop the engine completely. 4) In the case of uphill/downhill slope, release the parking brake and brake pedal slowly in order to check the gear is engaged. 5) After check the vehicle stopped by the gear engaged, Apply the parking brake and the brake pedal firmly again. 6) Get out of the vehicle and put chocks under the wheels. When you return to your vehicle, you must remember to remove the wheel chocks. NOTE: • After the engine is stopped or ignition switch is OFF, the gear in the transaxle does not change even if you shift the gearshift lever in any position. Always shift the gearshift lever before turn ignition switch OFF. • Check the transaxle gear position by looking at the gear position indicator, then turn the ignition switch off to stop the engine. WARNING • If the gear is not engaged properly and completely before the ignition switch is turned to “LOCK” position or the engine switch is pressed to change the ignition mode to LOCK (OFF), the vehicle may not be parked with the gear engaged. Always confirm the gear position by checking the gear position indicator when parking. • On a downhill slope, the gear should be put in reverse, and in 1st gear on an uphill slope. In the case of uphill/downhill slope, after check the vehicle stopped by the gear engaged, put chocks under the wheels. Otherwise, the vehicle may move, and cause an unexpected accident. If the gear is left in the “N” position, the vehicle cannot be parked with a gear engaged. 3-25 66RH0-74E OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE Parking cancel Depress the brake pedal, turn the ignition switch to “ON” position or press the engine switch to change the ignition mode to ON, and shift the gearshift lever to the “N” position. The gear will be disengaged. Warning functions A warning buzzer will sound or the indicator will blink under the following conditions. Warning buzzer • The clutch is heated due to excessive load. • The creeping function is being activated for a long period of time. NOTICE In the above cases, pull over to the side of the road and stop the engine, and then ask your authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop to inspect your vehicle. Otherwise, the clutch disc may be damaged. • The ignition switch is turned to the “LOCK” position or the engine switch is pressed to change the ignition mode to LOCK (OFF) with the gear in 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th. In this case, turn the ignition switch to “ON” position or press the engine switch to change the ignition mode to ON, and shift the gearshift lever in the “N” position, shift it to the “D” or “M” or “R” position, then turn the ignition switch to “LOCK” position or press the engine switch to change the ignition mode to LOCK (OFF). • During a stop, the driver’s door is opened with the gearshift lever in the “R”, “D” or “M” position while the engine is running. “N” indicator blinking When the gear indicator lamp blinks “N”, you should depress the brake pedal and shift the gearshift lever to “N” position. “1st” indicator blinking When the gear indicator lamp blinks “1st”, you should depress the brake pedal and shift the gearshift lever to “N” position, then shift to “D” or “M” position again a few seconds later. “R” indicator blinking When the gear indicator lamp blinks “R”, you should depress the brake pedal and shift the gearshift lever to “N” position, then shift to “R” position again a few seconds later. 3-26 66RH0-74E OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE Gearshift indicator (if equipped) WARNING 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 driving situation and shift up or down if necessary. EXAMPLE 75RM327 When the gearshift lever is in a position other than “N” (Neutral), the gearshift indicator is indicated on the information display when the ignition switch is in “ON” position or the ignition mode is ON. The electronic control system monitors driving condition (such as vehicle speed and/or engine revolution), and it shows which gear position is optimal for your driving with the indication on the display. If UP/DOWN arrow is indicated on the display while driving, we recommend you to shift up or down the gear until the arrow disappears. It is the optimal gear position for a driving condition that reduces the over revolution and stress to the engine, and improves fuel consumption. NOTE: • The gearshift indicator is not indicated when the gear position is in “N” (Neutral). • If you depress the clutch pedal while UP/DOWN arrow is indicated, the indication will disappear. • The indication of gearshift indicator timing may differ depending on the vehicle condition and/or driving situation even in the same vehicle speed and engine revolution. Example of the gearshift indicator Indication Description Lower gear position is selected for the vehicle speed and/ or engine revolution. Changing to a higher gear position is recommended. Higher gear position is selected for the vehicle speed and/ or engine revolution. Changing to a lower gear position is recommended. For details on how to use the transaxle, refer to “Using transaxle” in this section. 3-27 66RH0-74E OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE Parking sensors (if equipped) • The parking sensor system uses ultrasonic sensors to detect obstacles near the rear bumper. If obstacles are sensed while you are parking or moving the vehicle slowly, the system warns you by sounding a buzzer. • The system emits an ultrasonic wave and the relevant sensor detects the return of the wave reflected by an obstacle. The system measures the time 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 you press the engine switch to change the ignition mode to “ON”, the gearshift lever is in the reverse position and the parking sensor switch is in “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 • The parking sensor warns you of obstacles with buzzers. However, you still have to drive with particular care. • 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 • Parking sensor are only for driver’s assistance. Sensor locations On rear bumper EXAMPLE (2) (1) (1) (2) 66RH047 (1) Rear center sensors (2 places) (2) Rear corner sensors (2 places) 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. 3-28 66RH0-74E OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE Working sensors The sensors work depending on the gearshift lever position and parking brake lever position as follows: Rear sensors Manual transaxle Auto Gear Shift EXAMPLE N, 1st – 5th R N, D, M Parking brake lever Center On Off On Off No relation Corner On Off On Off No relation Gearshift lever position R Approximate areas where obstacles can be detected 66RH048 • An obstacle within about 20 cm (8 in) from a sensor or just below a sensor is not detectable. • The sensors can detect an obstacle up to about 1.5 m (5 ft) from the rear of vehicle. 3-29 66RH0-74E OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING • Under the following conditions, the parking sensor system may not work normally because the sensors cannot detect obstacles correctly. – Sensors are covered with mud, ice or other materials (Such materials must be removed for normal operation). – Sensors are wet from water splashes or heavy rain. – Sensors are covered by a hand, sticker, accessory, etc. – There is an accessory or other object attached within the sensor’s sensing area. – Items such as tow hooks, commercially available corner poles, radio antenna, etc. are installed on the bumper. – The height of the bumper is changed due to alteration to the suspension or other causes. – The sensor areas are extremely hot from direct sunlight or cold due to freezing weather. – The vehicle is on a rough surface, slope, gravel road or grass field. – The vehicle is at a steep angle. (Continued) 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 such as wire netting and ropes. – Square-shaped curbstones or other objects with sharp edges. – Tall objects with a large upper part such as 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. 3-30 66RH0-74E OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE How to use parking sensor State Obstacle indication by parking sensor EXAMPLE ON • When the indicator light is on and all necessary conditions are met, system becomes ready for operation. Upon detecting an obstacle, the parking sensor causes an interior buzzer to sound. • A buzzer located behind the rear seat sounds when a sensor at the rear detects an obstacle. • Warnings when obstacles are detected by corner sensors. EXAMPLE OFF • The system does not operate. Push the switch to turn off the indicator if you do not wish to use the parking sensor. Switch position Parking sensor switch (2) (1) EXAMPLE 66RH120 (1) Parking sensor switch (2) Indicator • When the ignition mode is ON and the indicator light in the parking sensor switch is on, indicating that the parking sensor is ready for operation under the following conditions: – The gearshift lever is in a position. • To deactivate the parking sensor, push the parking sensor switch and check that the indicator light goes off. NOTE: • If you push the parking sensor switch from OFF to ON position when the ignition mode has been changed to ON by pressing the engine switch, the interior buzzer sounds. • When the gearshift lever is shifted to the “R” position with the system ON, a buzzer will sound once.

There may be a problem with the parking sensor system, Have your vehicle inspected by an authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop. Rearview camera (if equipped) When the gearshift lever is shifted to “R” position while the ignition mode is ON, the rearview camera system automatically shows the view behind the vehicle on the display. WARNING NOTICE If you use the rearview camera for a long time when the ignition mode is ON, but the engine is not running, the battery may discharge. Do not leave the ignition mode ON for a long time when the engine is not running. The distance viewed in the rearview camera may differ from the actual distance according to the condition of road or the load the vehicle is carrying. Since the camera display area is also limited, backing up by only looking at the display may cause an accident or a crash with an object. The rearview camera cannot replace the driver’s attention. The driver alone is responsible for parking and similar driving maneuvers. • Use the rearview camera only to provide driving assistance. • Always drive carefully confirming the safety of the rear and the surrounding conditions by looking directly with your eyes and using the rear view mirror. • Make sure that the tailgate is securely closed when backing up. 3-32 66RH0-74E OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE Rearview camera location NOTICE If water enters the rearview camera, it may cause a malfunction or catch fire. Do not use high pressure water around the camera. NOTICE (1) EXAMPLE 66RH049 (1) Rearview camera The rearview camera is installed beside the license plate light. NOTICE The rearview camera is a precision instrument. If you strike the camera, it may be broken and cause damage resulting in a catch fire or a malfunction. • Do not strike the camera. • Do not remove snow or mud on the camera lens with a stick. This lens is hard coated to prevent damage or discoloration. Damage or discoloration of lens may obscure the image. • Do not use a brush to clean lens. • Do not use alcohol, benzene or thinner to clean the lens. • Do not use wax on the camera lens. NOTE: If body wax gets on the camera lens, wipe off the wax with a clean cloth dampened with mild detergent diluted with water, and then wipe the lens with a dry cloth. How to use rearview camera 1) Press the engine switch to change the ignition mode to ON. 2) Shift the gearshift lever in “R” position. • The display automatically shows the view behind the vehicle. • When the gearshift lever is shifted from “R” to another gearshift lever position, the display returns to the previous display. NOTE: The rearview camera display has first priority in any display mode. However, the rearview camera display does not show the rear view while the system is initializing. Display range of rearview camera The rearview camera display shows the area behind the rear end of the tailgate. The display cannot show objects which are close to the bumper or under the bumper. The rearview camera display cannot show obstacles which are higher than the camera. Upper parts of tall objects such as road signs cannot be viewed on the display. 3-33 66RH0-74E OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE Display range of rearview camera EXAMPLE (1) 75RM293 EXAMPLE (1) 54P000370 (1) Display range NOTE: • Images shown on the display from the rearview camera are reversed images (mirror images). • The colors of objects on the rearview camera may differ from the actual object colors. • The rearview camera display may be difficult to see under the following conditions, but this is not a system malfunction. – In dark areas, on a rainy day or at night. – When the temperature around the lens is too high/low, or the camera is wet such as on a rainy day or during periods of high humidity (dew condensation may occur on the camera lens). – When a foreign object such as mud or a drop of water is stuck around the camera lens. – When strong light directly enters the camera (vertical lines may be seen on the display). – Under fluorescent light (The display may flicker). – When the outside temperature is low (the image on the display may be darkened).

If the rear view from the rearview camera is not shown or there is a poor image • If the rear view from the rearview camera is not shown. – Check that the ignition mode is ON. – Check that the gearshift lever is shifted to “R” position. • If the image from the rearview camera is poor. – Check that the camera lens is not dirty. – Check that light from the sun or the beam of the headlights from the vehicle behind is not shining directly into the lens. If the rearview camera system is still not working properly after checking the above, have the system inspected by an authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop as soon as possible. Braking EXAMPLE 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 depress the brake pedal when there is plenty of distance between your vehicle and the stopping point, and slow down gradually. 3-35 66RH0-74E OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING 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. 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. Brake assist system When you slam the brakes on, the brake assist system determines it to be 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 clicking sound by the brake assist system operation. 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 move 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 is being controlled properly. • You may hear an operation sound when you start the engine or after the vehicle begins to move. This means that the above systems are in the self-check 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 a vehicle with ABS may be slightly greater than the one required 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. (Continued) 3-36 66RH0-74E OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE WARNING WARNING (Continued) • On regular paved roads, some drivers may be able to obtain slightly shorter stopping distances with conventional brake systems than with ABS. • 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 too fast. EXAMPLE (1) (2) • If the ABS warning light (1) on the instrument cluster 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 cluster simultaneously stay on or come on while 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 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. 54MN069 (1) ABS warning light (2) Brake system warning light 3-37 66RH0-74E DRIVING TIPS DRIVING TIPS Running-in ........................................................................... 4-1 Catalytic converter .............................................................. 4-1 Improving fuel economy ..................................................... 4-2 Highway driving .................................................................. 4-3 Driving on hills .................................................................... 4-3 Driving on slippery roads ................................................... 4-4 Driving on wet roads ........................................................... 4-6 Do’s and Dont’s for safe driving......................................... 4-6 Margin for safety .................................................................. 4-9 4 60G409 66RH0-74E DRIVING TIPS Running-in EXAMPLE Catalytic converter NOTICE 68PHM4001 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 “Seat belts and child restraint systems” section for instructions on proper use of the seat belts. • Never drive 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 first 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 catalytic converter. This may result in permanent heat damage to the catalytic converter and other vehicle components. 4-1 66RH0-74E DRIVING TIPS NOTICE To minimize the possibility of catalytic converter 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. 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, do not allow the engine to idle or apply full throttle until the engine has reached operating temperature. Allow the engine to warm up by driving. 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 Drive at a constant speed that road and traffic conditions will permit. 4-2 66RH0-74E 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 The heavier the load is, the more fuel the vehicle consumes. Unload any unnecessary luggage or cargo. When driving at highway 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 during 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 Manual transaxle EXAMPLE 75RM260 Auto Gear Shift Keep tire pressures correct Under-inflation 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 side door or the driver’s door lock pillar. EXAMPLE 66RH046 4-3 66RH0-74E DRIVING TIPS • 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. • When driving down a hill, the engine should be used for braking by shifting to the next lower gear. NOTICE When descending a downhill, Never turn the ignition key to “LOCK” position or press the engine switch to change the ignition mode to LOCK (OFF). Emission control system damage may result. Driving on slippery roads EXAMPLE 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. WARNING 60G089S On wet roads, you should drive at a lower speed than you do 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. Do not 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. 4-4 66RH0-74E DRIVING TIPS Tire chains Tire chains should only be used if they are needed to increase traction or are required by law. Check that the chains you use are the correct size for your vehicle’s tires. Also check 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. 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. Stuck vehicle If your vehicle gets stuck in snow, mud or sand, follow the directions below: 1) Shift the transaxle back and forth between the 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 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. 4-5 66RH0-74E DRIVING TIPS Driving on wet roads WARNING EXAMPLE 82PHM04001 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. In addition to following the driving tips in this section, it is important to observe the following precautions. • Check that your tires are in good condition and always maintain the specified tire pressure. Refer to “Tires” in the “INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE” section for details. • 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 fender 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 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. 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 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 72F-08-001 4-6 66RH0-74E 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. EXAMPLE 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 72F-08-011 72F-08-008 3) Turn ON the turn signal at least 30 meters before making a turn or changing the lane so as not to be hit. 4) Before entering a corner, decelerate to a safe speed. Don’t apply brakes during cornering, or skidding may occur. 72F-08-015 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 66RH0-74E DRIVING TIPS Night Time Driving EXAMPLE EXAMPLE 72F-08-020 72F-08-012 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. 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) 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. EXAMPLE Long Distance Driving 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. 72F-08-021 4-8 66RH0-74E 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. 4-9 66RH0-74E OTHER CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT OTHER CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT 60G407 Fuel filler cap ....................................................................... 5-1 Engine hood ........................................................................ 5-2 Sun visor .............................................................................. 5-4 Interior light ......................................................................... 5-5 Accessory socket ................................................................ 5-6 AUX/USB socket (if equipped) ........................................... 5-7 Assist grips .......................................................................... 5-7 Glove box ............................................................................. 5-7 5 Cup holder and storage area ............................................. 5-8 Footrest ................................................................................ 5-10 Floor mats (if equipped) ..................................................... 5-10 Luggage compartment cover (if equipped) ...................... 5-11 Luggage compartment board ............................................. 5-11 Frame hooks ........................................................................ 5-12 Heating and air conditioning system ................................ 5-14 Manual heating and air conditioning system ................... 5-15 Automatic heating and air conditioning system (climate control) (if equipped) ............................................ 5-19 Radio antenna ..................................................................... 5-24 Installation of radio frequency transmitters ..................... 5-25 Audio system (if equipped) ................................................ 5-25 66RH0-74E OTHER CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT Fuel filler cap A fuel filler cap is located on the left rear side of the vehicle.

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. 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. 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. 5-17 66RH0-74E 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 “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 “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 DEFROST or HEAT & DEFROST functions. EXAMPLE 66RH137 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 “A/C” switch, and • adjust the side outlets so the air blows on the side windows. 5-18 66RH0-74E 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.

NOTE: When you select the recirculated air mode, the automatic operation system is deactivated if you push “AUTO” switch (8). NOTE: If “AUTO” on the display blinks, there is a problem in the heating system and/or air conditioning system. You should have the system inspected by an authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop. NOTE: • To find the temperature at which you are most comfortable, start with the 25°C (75°F) setting. • If you push the temperature selector (1) until “HI” or “LO” appears on the display, the climate control system will operate at maximum heating or cooling and the blower will run at full speed. • To avoid blowing cold air in cold weather or hot air in hot weather, the system will delay turning on the blower until warmed or chilled air is available. • If your vehicle has been left in the sun with the windows closed, it will cool faster if you open the windows briefly. • Even under the automatic operation, you can set individual selectors to the manual mode. The manually selected functions are maintained, and the other functions remain under automatic operation. • If the windshield and/or the front door windows are fogged, push the defrost switch (5) to turn on the defroster, or push the air flow selector (4) to change the air flow to HEAT & DEFROST position to defog the windows. • To return the blower speed selector (2), air intake selector (3), and air flow selector (4) to automatic operation, push “AUTO” switch (8). EXAMPLE (11) (10) 66RH124 Be careful not to cover the interior temperature sensor (10) located between the steering wheel and the climate control panel, or the solar sensor (11) located at the top of the driver’s side dashboard. These sensors are used by the automatic system to regulate temperature. 5-23 66RH0-74E OTHER CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT Manual operation You can manually control the climate control system. Set the selectors to the desired positions. EXAMPLE 66RH137 NOTE: If you need maximum defrosting: • push the defrost switch (5) to turn on the defroster (the air conditioning system will come on and FRESH AIR mode will be selected automatically), • set the blower speed selector to high, • adjust the temperature selector to “HI” indication on the display, and • adjust the side outlets so the air blows on the side windows. 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 “Maintenance schedule” in the “INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE” section. Have this job done by your authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop as the lower glove box must be lowered for this job. 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. Radio antenna EXAMPLE 75RM301 The radio antenna on the roof is removable. To remove the antenna, turn it counterclockwise. To reinstall the antenna, turn it clockwise firmly by hand. NOTICE To avoid damage to the radio antenna: • Remove the antenna when using an automatic car wash. • Remove the antenna when the antenna hits anything such as a low ceiling in a parking garage or putting a car cover over your vehicle. 5-24 66RH0-74E OTHER CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT Installation of radio frequency transmitters We recommend that you always ask a authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop about frequency band, max output power, antenna position at vehicle and specific conditions for installation and/or use before installing a radio transmitter in your vehicle. Such equipments may cause the electronic control system to malfunction if they are incorrectly installed or they are not suited for the vehicle.

Notes on MP3/WMA/AAC What is MP3? • An abbreviation of “MPEG audio layer3”, MP3 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. 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 use “.mp3”, “.wma” or “.m4a” as a file name extension 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. What is AAC? • An abbreviation of “Advanced Audio Coding,” AAC is an audio compression format used by MPEG2 and MPEG4. 5-38 66RH0-74E OTHER CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT 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. • 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 playlist function. • It is recommended to write discs in Discat-Once mode even though Multi-session mode is supported. These modes are the methods for writing audio data in CD.

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 Your MARUTI SUZUKI was originally designed to carry people and a normal amount of cargo, not to tow a trailer. 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. 6-1 66RH0-74E INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE 60G410 Maintenance schedule ........................................................ 7-2 Periodic maintenance schedule ........................................ 7-2 Drive belt .............................................................................. 7-6 Engine oil and filter ............................................................. 7-6 Engine coolant .................................................................... 7-11 Air cleaner ............................................................................ 7-13 Spark plugs (Petrol engine model) .................................... 7-13 Gear oil ................................................................................. 7-14 Clutch pedal ......................................................................... 7-15 Fuel filter (Diesel engine model) ........................................ 7-16 Brakes .................................................................................. 7-16 Steering ................................................................................ 7-18 7 Tires ...................................................................................... 7-18 Battery .................................................................................. 7-21 Fuses .................................................................................... 7-22 Headlight aiming ................................................................. 7-26 Bulb replacement ................................................................ 7-26 Wiper blades ........................................................................ 7-31 Windshield washer fluid ..................................................... 7-34 Air conditioning system ..................................................... 7-34 66RH0-74E INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE WARNING EXAMPLE 60B128 WARNING Take extreme care when working on your vehicle to prevent accidental injury.

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. The handle of the engine oil dipstick is colored with yellow for easy identification. Pull out the oil dipstick, wipe oil off with a clean cloth, insert the dipstick all the way into the engine, and 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. Refilling not to overfill the oil. 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. (For petrol engine model) EXAMPLE Changing engine oil and filter Open Close Drain the engine oil while the engine is still warm. EXAMPLE Close Open 68PH00762 (For diesel engine model) EXAMPLE NOTICE Failure to check the oil level regularly could lead to serious engine trouble due to insufficient oil. Open Close NOTICE (For diesel engine model) Do not top up the oil over the MAX limit. Too much oil causes serious engine trouble. 66RH001 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 the engine oil. CAUTION 82PM07001 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 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. 7-8 66RH0-74E INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE WARNING EXAMPLE (For petrol engine model) EXAMPLE (Continued) To minimize your exposure to used oil, wear a long-sleeve shirt and moisture-proof 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 it is with oil. Recycle or properly dispose of used oil and oil filters. 68PH00705 Tightening torque for drain plug Petrol engine : 35 Nm (3.6 kg-m, 25.8 lb-ft) Diesel engine : 20 Nm (2.0 kg-m, 14.8 lb-ft) WARNING Engine 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. Repeated, prolonged contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. Brief contact with used oil may irritate skin. (Continued) 4) Reinstall the drain plug with new gasket.

This type of coolant is the best for cooling system for the following reasons: • The coolant helps maintain proper engine temperature. • It gives proper protection against freezing and boiling. • It 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. • Do not use straight coolant nor 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 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 “FULL” and “LOW” marks. Adding coolant WARNING Swallowing engine coolant can cause severe injury or death. Inhaling coolant mist or vapors or getting coolant in your eyes could result in severe injury. • 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. 7-11 66RH0-74E INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE NOTICE 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. 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. If the coolant level is below “LOW” mark, more coolant should be added. When the engine is cool, remove the degassing tank cap by turning it counterclockwise slowly to release any pressure. And add coolant until the degassing tank level reaches “FULL” mark. Never fill the degassing tank above “FULL” mark. Coolant replacement (For diesel engine model) Since special procedures are required, ask your authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop for this job. EXAMPLE (For petrol engine model) FULL LOW FULL 66RH089 EXAMPLE LOW 81PN200 If the coolant level is below “LOW” mark, more coolant should be added. Remove the reservoir tank cap and add coolant until the reservoir tank level reaches “FULL” mark. Never fill the reservoir tank above “FULL” mark. 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. 7-12 66RH0-74E INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE Air cleaner (For diesel engine model) If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there will be greater intake resistance, resulting in decreased power output and increased fuel consumption.

NOTICE Observe the following instructions when towing your vehicle. • To help avoid damage to your vehicle during towing, proper equipment and towing procedures must be used. • Using the frame hook, tow your vehicle on paved roads for short distances at low speed. 2-wheel drive (2WD) manual transaxle or Auto Gear Shift Manual transaxle vehicles or Auto Gear Shift vehicles may be towed using either of the following methods. 1) From the front, with the front wheels lifted and the rear wheels on the ground. Before towing, check that the parking brake is released. 2) From the rear, with the rear wheels lifted and the front wheels on the ground, provided the steering and drivetrain are in operational condition. Before towing, check that transaxle is in neutral, the steering wheel is unlocked (vehicle without keyless push start system - the ignition key should be in “ACC” position) (vehicle with keyless push start system - the ignition mode is ACC), and the steering wheel is secured with a clamping device designed for towing service. NOTICE NOTICE After shifting the Auto Gear Shift gearshift lever to the “N” position, always check the gear position indicator in the instrument cluster shows the “N” position to make sure that the transaxle is disengaged. If the transaxle cannot be put in neutral, turn the key from the “LOCK” to the “ON” position or press the engine switch to change the ignition mode to ON, and move the Auto Gear Shift gearshift lever from “N” to “D”, “M” or “R”, then back to “N” again. Then turn the key from the “ON” to the “LOCK” position or press the engine switch to change the ignition mode to LOCK (OFF). These procedures may help put the transaxle in neutral. If the transaxle still cannot be put in neutral, you cannot tow the vehicle without using a towing dolly. The steering column is not strong enough to withstand shocks transmitted from the front wheels during towing. Always unlock the steering wheel before towing. 8-8 66RH0-74E EMERGENCY SERVICE Engine trouble: Starter does not operate Engine trouble: Flooded engine 1) Try turning the ignition switch to “START” position or try pressing the engine switch to change the ignition mode to START with the headlights turned on to determine the battery condition. If the headlights go excessively dim or go off, it usually means that either the battery is flat or the battery terminal contact is poor. Recharge the battery or correct battery terminal contact as necessary. 2) If the headlights remain bright, check the fuses. If the reason for failure of the starter is not obvious, there may be a major electrical problem. Have the vehicle inspected by your authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop. If the engine is flooded with fuel, it may be hard to start. If this happens, press the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it there while cranking the engine. • For petrol engine model, do not operate the starter motor for more than 12 seconds. • For diesel engine model, do not operate the starter motor for more than 30 seconds. NOTE: For keyless push start, if the engine refuses to start, the starter motor automatically stops after a certain period of time. After the starter motor has automatically stopped or if there is anything abnormal in the engine starting system, the starter motor runs only while the engine switch is held pressed. Engine trouble: Overheating The engine could overheat temporarily under severe driving conditions. If the high engine coolant temperature warning light comes on as overheating during driving: 1) Turn off the air conditioner, if equipped. 2) Take the vehicle to a safe place and park. 3) Let the engine run at the normal idle speed for a few minutes until the high engine coolant temperature warning light goes off. WARNING If you see or hear escaping steam, stop the vehicle in a safe place and immediately turn off the engine to cool it. 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. 8-9 66RH0-74E EMERGENCY SERVICE If the high engine coolant temperature warning light does not go off: WARNING 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 “LOW” line, check radiator, water pump, radiator hoses and heater hoses for leakage. If leakage that may cause overheating is found, do not run the engine until these problems have been corrected. 3) If leakage is not found, carefully add coolant to the reservoir and then the radiator, if necessary. (Refer to “Engine coolant” in the “INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE” section). EXAMPLE 79J007 • It is hazardous to remove the radiator cap (or degassing tank cap for a diesel engine) when the water temperature is high, because scalding fluid and steam may be blown out under pressure. The cap should only be taken off when the coolant temperature has lowered. • To help prevent personal injury, keep hands, tools and clothing away from the engine cooling fan and air-conditioner fan (if equipped). These electric fans can automatically turn on without warning. NOTE: If engine overheats and you are not sure what to do, contact your authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop.

Listed below are instructions for how to maintain your vehicle to prevent corrosion. Please read and follow these instructions carefully. 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. Important information about corrosion How to help prevent 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. 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 “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. Check 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. 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 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 for off-road driving 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 they 9-1 66RH0-74E APPEARANCE CARE are spilled or leaked, clean and dry the area immediately. Vehicle cleaning Cleaning interior 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. Store your vehicle in a dry, well-ventilated area Do not park your vehicle in a damp, poorlyventilated area. If you often wash your vehicle in the garage and place it there in wet condition, 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. EXAMPLE WARNING Do not apply additional undercoating or rust preventive coating on or around exhaust system components such as the catalytic converter and exhaust pipes. A fire could be started if the undercoating substance becomes overheated. 76G044S WARNING When cleaning the interior or exterior of the vehicle, do not use flammable solvents such as lacquer thinners, petrol and benzene. Also, do not use cleaning materials such as bleaches and strong household detergents. The materials could cause personal injury or damage to the vehicle. 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 66RH0-74E 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 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 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. 9-3 66RH0-74E APPEARANCE CARE Washing WARNING • Never attempt to wash and wax your vehicle with the engine running. • When cleaning the underside of the body and fender, where there may be sharp-edged parts, wear gloves and a long-sleeved shirt to protect your hands and arms from being cut. • After washing your vehicle, carefully test the brakes before driving to check that they have maintained their normal effectiveness. When washing the vehicle, park it in the place where direct sunlight does not fall on it and follow the instructions below: 1) Flush the underside of body and wheel housings with pressurized water to remove mud and debris. Use plenty of water. 3) Wash the entire exterior with a mild detergent or car wash soap using a sponge or soft cloth. The sponge or cloth should be frequently soaked in the soap solution. NOTICE When using a commercial car wash product, observe the cautions specified by the manufacturer. Never use strong household detergents or soaps. When washing the vehicle: • Avoid directing steam or hot water of more than 80°C (176°F) on plastic parts. • To avoid damaging engine components, do not use pressurized water in the engine compartment. 2) Rinse the body to loosen the dirt. Remove dirt and mud from the body exterior with running water. You may use a soft sponge or brush. Do not use hard materials which can scratch the paint or plastic. Remember that the headlight covers or lenses are made of plastic in many cases. Washing by hand EXAMPLE NOTICE To avoid damage to the paint or plastic surface, do not wipe the dirt off without ample water. Follow the above procedure. NOTICE 4) Once the dirt has been completely removed, rinse off the detergent with running water. 5) Wipe off the vehicle body with a wet chamois or cloth and allow it to dry in the shade. 6) Check carefully for damage to painted surfaces. If there is any damage, touch up the damage following the procedure below: 1. Clean all damaged spots and allow them to dry. 2. Stir the paint and touch up the damaged spots lightly using a small brush. 3. Allow the paint to dry completely. 60B212S 9-4 66RH0-74E APPEARANCE CARE Washing by an automatic car wash NOTICE Waxing EXAMPLE If you use an automatic car wash, check that your vehicle’s body parts, such as spoilers, cannot be damaged. If you are in doubt, consult the car wash operator for advice. Washing by a high-pressure cleaner NOTICE If you use a high-pressure cleaner, keep away the nozzle from your vehicle sufficiently. • Bringing the nozzle to your vehicle too close or pointing the nozzle to the opening of front grill or bumper etc. can cause damage and malfunction of the vehicle body and parts. • Pointing the nozzle to the weatherstrip of door glasses, doors and the sunroof (if equipped) can allow water to enter the cabin. 60B211S After washing the vehicle, waxing and polishing are recommended to further protect and beautify the paint. • Only use waxes and polishes of good quality. • When using waxes and polishes, observe the precautions specified by the manufacturers. 9-5 66RH0-74E GENERAL INFORMATION GENERAL INFORMATION Vehicle identification .......................................................... 10-1 Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Tag ...................... 10-1 84MM01001 10 66RH0-74E GENERAL INFORMATION Vehicle identification also used to assist your dealer when ordering or referring to special service information.
