The seat or seatback could move unexpectedly, causing loss of control. Make sure that the driver’s seat and seatback are properly adjusted before you start driving. To avoid excessive seat belt slack, which reduces the effectiveness of the seat belts as a safety device, make sure that the seats are adjusted before the seat belts are fastened. 1-11 63J012 The adjustment lever for each front seat is located under the front of the seat. To adjust the seat position, pull up on the adjustment lever and slide the seat forward or rearward.

Seat belts are designed to offer maximum protection when seatbacks are in the upright position. Head restraints are designed to help reduce the risk of neck injuries in the case of an accident. • Never drive the vehicle with the head restraints removed. • Do not attempt to adjust the head restraint while driving. NOTE: It may be necessary to recline the seatback to provide enough overhead clearance to remove the head restraint. 75F123 Adjust the head restraint to the position which places the centre of the head restraint closest to the top of your ears. If this is not possible for very tall passengers, adjust the head restraint as high as possible. 63J014 To adjust the seatback angle of front seats, pull up the lever on the outboard side of the seat, move the seatback to the desired position, and release the lever to lock the seatback in place.

When installing a child restraint system, raise the head restraint to the most upper position. 63J015 To raise the front head restraint, pull upward on the restraint until it clicks. To lower the restraint, push down on the restraint while holding in the lock lever. If a head restraint must be removed (for cleaning, replacement, etc.), push in the lock lever and pull the head restraint all the way out. 1-13 63J135 Dzire 26 BEFORE DRIVING Seat Belts and Child Restraint Systems 65D360 65D231S Wear Your Seat Belts at All Times. An air bag supplements, or adds to, the frontal crash protection offered by seat belts. The driver and all passengers must be properly restrained by wearing 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. 27 • 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) 65D201 (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 one which is snug. • 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) 1-14 BEFORE DRIVING 65D199 (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 diagram. • Do not wear 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) 1-15 (Continued) • Never use the same seat belt on more than one occupant and never attach a seat belt over an infant or child being held on an occupant’s lap. Such seat belt use could cause serious injury in the event of an accident. • 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 age 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) (Continued) • Avoid contamination of seat belt webbing by polishes, oils, chemicals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning may safely be carried out using mild soap and water. • For children, if the shoulder belt irritates the neck or face, move the child closer to the centre of the vehicle. • 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. 28 BEFORE DRIVING Lap-Shoulder Belt 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. The length of the diagonal shoulder strap adjusts itself to allow freedom of movement. Safety reminder 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, then pull the belt across your body more slowly. 60A038 60A040 To reduce the risk of sliding under the belt during a collision, position the lap portion of the belt across your lap as low 29 1-16 BEFORE DRIVING All Seat Belts Except Rear Centre Rear Centre Seat Belt Lap belt 60A039 60A036 To fasten the seat belt, sit up straight and well back in the seat, pull the latch plate attached to the seat belt across your body and press it into the buckle until you hear a “click”. 1-17 To unfasten the belt, push the red “PRESS” button on the buckle and allow the belt to retract. 60B038 Sit up straight and well back in the seat. To fasten the belt, pull the latch plate attached to the seat belt across your hips and press it into the buckle until you hear a “click”. To reduce the risk of sliding under the belt during a collision, position the belt across your lap as low on your hips as possible and adjust it to a snug fit. To tighten the belt, pull the free end of the belt across alongside the lap strap. 30 BEFORE DRIVING Shoulder Anchor Height Adjuster (if equipped) 60A046 60G028 To lengthen, release the latch plate from the buckle, pull the latch plate (adjuster) in the direction of the arrow, at right angles to the belt. The latch plate should then be refitted into the buckle and the belt tightened as previously described. NOTE: To identify the centre seat belt buckle and latch plate in the rear seat, “CENTER” is molded on the buckle and latch plate of the centre lap belt. The buckles are designed so a latch plate can not be inserted into the wrong buckle. 63J017 Adjust the shoulder anchor height so that the shoulder belt rides on the centre of the outboard shoulder. To adjust the shoulder anchor height, slide the anchor up or down while pushing the lock button. After adjustment, make sure that the anchor is securely locked. Be sure that the shoulder belt is positioned on the centre of the outside shoulder.The belt should be away from your face and neck, but not falling off your shoulder. Misadjustment of the belt could reduce the effectiveness of the safety belt in a crash. 31 1-18 BEFORE DRIVING Seat Belt Hanger (if equipped) 63J018 CAUTION • When you move a seatback, make sure both the latch plate and the belt webbing are hooked in the seat belt hangers so the seat belts are not caught by the seatback, seat hinge, or seat latch. This helps prevent damage to the belt system. • When you hook the belt webbing and latch plate into the seat belt hanger, make sure the latch plate is on the obverse side of the belt webbing as shown in the illustration. • Make sure the belt webbing is not twisted. 1-19 Seat Belt Inspection 65D209S Be sure to inspect all seat belt assemblies after any collision. Any seat belt assembly which was in use during a collision (other than a very minor one) should be replaced, even if damage to the assembly is not obvious. Any seat belt assembly which was not in use during a collision should be replaced if it does not function properly, it is damaged in any way or the seat belt pretensioner was activated (that is, if the front air bags were activated). Periodically inspect the seat belts to make sure they work properly and are not damaged. Check the webbing, buckles, latch plates, retractors, anchorages, and guide loops. Replace any seat belts which do not work properly or are damaged. 32 BEFORE DRIVING 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. Child restraint Child Restraint Systems 60G332S Infant restraint - rear seat only 65D197 Booster seat All child restraint systems are designed to be secured in vehicle seats by either 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. 65D584 33 65D203 1-20 BEFORE DRIVING If you install a child restraint system in the rear seat, slide the front seat for enough forward so that the child’s feet do not contact the front seatback. This will help avoid injury to the child in the event of an accident. 65D362 65D361 If your vehicle is equipped with a front passenger front air bag, do not install a rear-facing child restraint in the front passenger’s seat. If the passenger’s air bag inflates, a child in a rear-facing child restraint could be killed or seriously injured. The back of a rearfacing child restraint would be too close to the inflating air bag. 65D363 1-21 34 BEFORE DRIVING Children could be endangered in a crash if their child restraints are not properly secured in the vehicle. When installing a child restraint system, be sure to follow the instructions below. Be sure to secure the child in the restraint system according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Installation with Lap-Shoulder Seat Belts Seat Belt Pretensioner System (if equipped) CAUTION Before installing a child restraint system in the rear seat, raise the head restraint to the most upper position. ELR type belt 65D205 65D233 Install your child restraint system according to the instructions provided by the child restraint system manufacturer. Make sure that the seat belt is securely latched. Try to move the child restraint system in all directions, to make sure it is securely installed. 35 This section of the owner’s manual describes your MARUTI SUZUKI’s SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER SYSTEM. Please read and follow ALL these instructions carefully to minimize your risk of severe injury or death. To determine if your vehicle is equipped with a seat belt pretensioner system at the front seating positions, check the label on the front seat belt at the bottom part. If the letters “p” and/or “PRE” appear as illustrated, your vehicle is equipped with the seat belt pretensioner system. You can use the pretensioner seat belts in the same manner as ordinary seat belts. 1-22 BEFORE DRIVING Read this section and the “Supplemental Restraint System (air bags)” section to learn more about the pretensioner system. The seat belt pretensioner system works with the SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (Air Bags). The crash sensors and the electronic controller of the air bag system also control the seat belt pretensioners. When the air bags are triggered, the pretensioners are also triggered. For precautions and general information including ser vicing the pretensioner system, refer to the “Supplemental Restraint System (air bags)” section in addition to this “Seat Belt Pretensioner System” section, and follow all those precautions. The pretensioner is located in each front seat belt retractor. The pretensioner tightens the seat belt so the belt fits the occupant’s body more snugly in the event of a frontal crash. The retractors will remain locked after the pretensioners are activated. Upon activation, some noise will occur and some smoke may be released. These conditions are not harmful and do not indicate a fire in the vehicle. The driver and all passengers must be properly restrained by wearing seat belts at all times, whether or not a pretensioner is equipped at their seating position, to minimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash. 1-23 Sit fully back in the seat; sit up straight; do not lean forward or sideways. Adjust the belt so the lap portion of the belt is worn low across the pelvis, not across the waist. Please refer to the “Seat Adjustment” section and the instructions and precautions about the seat belts in this “Seat Belts and Child Restraint Systems” section for details on proper seat and seat belt adjustments. Please note that the pretensioners along with the air bags will activate only in severe frontal collisions. They are not designed to activate in rear impacts, side impacts, rollovers, or minor frontal collisions. The pretensioners can be activated only once. If the pretensioners are activated (that is, if the air bags are activated), have the pretensioner system serviced by an authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible. If the “AIR BAG” light on the instrument cluster does not blink or come on briefly when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, 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 authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible. Service on or around the pretensioner system components or wiring must be performed only by an authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer who is specially trained. Improper service could result in unintended activation of pretensioners or could render the pretensioner inoperative. Either of these two conditions may result in personal injury. To prevent damage or unintended activation of the pretensioners, be sure the battery is disconnected and the ignition switch has been in the “LOCK” position for at least 90 seconds before performing any electrical service work on your MARUTI SUZUKI. 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 MARUTI SUZUKI, ask your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer, body repair shop, or scrap yard for assistance. 36 BEFORE DRIVING Supplemental Restraint System (air bags) (if equipped) This section of the owner’s manual describes the protection provided by your MARUTI SUZUKI’s SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (air bags). Please read and follow ALL these instructions carefully to minimize your risk of severe injury or death in the event of a collision. Your vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System consisting of the following components in addition to a lapshoulder belt at each front seating position. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Driver’s front air bag module Front passenger’s front air bag module Seat belt pretensioners Air bag controller Forward crash sensor 63J112 WARNING 37 1-24 BEFORE DRIVING dashboard. The words “SRS AIRBAG” are molded into the air bag covers to identify the location of the air bags. Front Air Bags Frontal collision range 63J030 If the AIR BAG light on the instrument cluster does not blink when the ignition switch is first turned to the “ON” position, or the AIR BAG light stays on, or comes on while driving, the air bag system (or the seat belt pretensioner system (if equipped)) may not work properly. Have the air bag system inspected by an authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible. 63J113 60G032 Front air bags will probably not inflate 63J114 The driver’s front air bag is located behind the centre pad of the steering wheel and the front passenger’s front air bag is located behind the passenger’s side of the 1-25 65D236 38 BEFORE DRIVING Front air bags will probably not inflate An air bag supplements, or adds to, the crash protection offered by seat belts. The driver and all passengers must be properly restrained by wearing 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. 65D361 65D237 Front air bags are designed to inflate only in severe frontal collisions. They are not designed to inflate in rear impacts, side impacts, rollovers or minor frontal collisions, since they would offer no protection in those types of accidents. Remember, since an air bag deploys only one time during an accident, seat belts are needed to restrain occupants from further movements during the accident. Therefore, an air bag is NOT a substitute for seat belts. To maximize your protection, ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEAT BELTS. Be aware that no system can prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident. 39 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. If you must use a front-facing child restraint in the front passenger’s seat, be sure to move the front passenger’s seat as far back as possible. Please refer to the “Seat Belts and Child Restraint Systems” section in the “BEFORE DRIVING” section for details on securing your child. 1-26 BEFORE DRIVING How the system works In a frontal collision, the crash sensors will detect rapid deceleration and send a signal to the controller. 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 car. Be aware, however, that some air bag components may be hot for a while after inflation. 1-27 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. Please refer to the “Seat Adjustment” section and the “Seat Belts and Child Restraint Systems” section in the “BEFORE DRIVING” section for details on proper seat and seat belt adjustments. 65D366 54G535 40 BEFORE DRIVING • • The driver should not lean over the steering wheel. The front passenger should not rest his or her body against the dashboard, or otherwise get too close to the dashboard. In these situations, the outof-position occupant would be too close to an inflating air bag, and may suffer severe injury. Do not attach any objects to, or place any objects over, the steering wheel or dashboard. Do not place any objects between the air bag and the driver or front passenger. These objects may interfere with air bag operation or may be propelled by the air bag in the event of a crash. Either of these conditions may cause severe injury. Note that even though your vehicle may be moderately damaged in a collision, the collision may not have been severe enough to trigger the front air bags to inflate. If your car sustains ANY front-end or side damage, have the air bag system inspected by an authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer to ensure it is in proper working order. 41 Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnostic module which records information about the air bag system if the air bags deploy in a crash. The module records information about overall system status, which sensors activated the deployment. Servicing the air bag system If the air bags inflate, have the air bags and related components replaced by an authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible. If your vehicle ever gets in deep water and the driver’s floor is submerged, the air bag controller could be damaged. If it does, have the air bag system inspected by the MARUTI SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible. Special procedures are required for servicing or replacing an air bag. For that reason, only an authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer should be allowed to service or replace your air bags. Please remind anyone who services your MARUTI SUZUKI that it has air bags. unintended air bag deployment or could render the air bag inoperative. Either of these two conditions may result in severe injury. To prevent damage or unintended inflation of the air bag system, be sure the battery is disconnected and the ignition switch has been in the “LOCK” position for at least 90 seconds before perfor ming any electrical service work on your MARUTI SUZUKI. 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 car 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 authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.

If this happens, you should: 1) Pull off the road and stop carefully. 65D477 For working check of this light, there are following three different type operations depending on the vehicle’s specification. 1) The light comes on briefly when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” and/or “START” position. 2) The light comes on when the parking brake is engaged with the ignition switch in the “ON” position. 3) The light comes on when under either or both of above two conditions. The light also comes on when the fluid in the brake fluid reservoir falls below the specified level. The light should go out after starting the engine and fully releasing the parking brake, if the fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir is adequate. The light also comes on together with the ABS warning light when the rear brake force control function (Proportioning valve function) of the ABS system fails. 57 Remember that stopping distance may be longer, you may have to push harder on the pedal, and the pedal may go down farther than normal. 2) Test the brakes by carefully starting and stopping at the side of the road. – If you determine that it is safe, drive carefully at low speed to the nearest dealer for repairs, or – Have the vehicle towed to the nearest dealer for repairs. If any of the following conditions occur, you should immediately ask your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer to inspect the brake system. • If the brake system warning light does not go out after the engine has been started and the parking brake has been fully released. • If the brake system warning light does not come on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” or “START” position. • If the brake system warning light comes on at any time during vehicle operation. NOTE: Because the disc brake system is selfadjusting, the fluid level will drop as the brake pads become worn. Replenishing the brake fluid reservoir is considered normal periodic maintenance. 3-6 INSTRUMENT PANEL Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) Warning Light (if equipped) If the ABS becomes inoperative, the brake system will function as an ordinary brake system that does not have this ABS system. Charging Light Oil Pressure Light 50G052 65D529 When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, the light comes on briefly so you can check that the light is working. If the light stays on, or comes on when driving, there may be something wrong with the ABS. If this happens: 1) Pull off the road and stop carefully. 2) Turn the ignition switch to “LOCK” and then start the engine again. If the warning light comes on briefly then turns off, the system is normal. If the warning light still stays on, the system will be something wrong. If the light and the brake system warning light stay on, or come on simultaneously when dr iving, your ABS system is equipped with the rear brake force control function (Proportioning valve function) and there may be something wrong with both the rear brake force control function and anti-lock function of the ABS system. If one of these happens, have the system inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. 3-7 50G051 This light comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, and goes out when the engine is started. The light will come on and remain on if there is insufficient oil pressure. If the light comes on when driving, pull off the road as soon as you can and stop the engine. Check the oil level and add oil if necessary. If there is enough oil, the lubrication system should be inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer before you drive the vehicle again. This light comes on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, and goes out when the engine is started. The light will come on and remain on if there is something wrong with the battery charging system. If the light comes on when the engine is running, the charging system should be inspected immediately by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. Seat Belt Warning Light (if equipped) CAUTION • If you operate the engine with this light on, severe engine damage can result. • Do not rely on the Oil Pressure Light to indicate the need to add oil. Be sure to periodically check the engine oil level. 60G049 This light blinks as a reminder until the driver’s seat belt is buckled. 58 INSTRUMENT PANEL AIR BAG Light (if equipped) Malfunction Indicator Light Immobilizer System Light (Petrol Engine) (if equipped) 63J030 63J031 This light blinks or comes on for several seconds when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position so you can check if the light is working. Your vehicle has a computer-controlled emission control system. A malfunction indicator light is provided on the instrument panel to indicate when it is necessary to have the emission control system serviced. The malfunction indicator light comes on when the ignition switch is turned to “ON” or “START” and goes out when the engine is started. The light will come on and stay on if there is a problem in the air bag system or the seat belt pretensioner system (if equipped). WARNING If the AIR BAG light does not blink or come on briefly when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, stays on for more than 10 seconds, or comes on while driving, the air bag system or the seat belt pretensioner system (if equipped) may not work properly. Have both systems inspected by an authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. 59 If the malfunction indicator light comes on when the engine is running, there is a problem with the emission control system.

Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a potentially lethal gas that is colorless and odourless. Since carbon monoxide is difficult to detect by itself, be sure to take the following precautions to help prevent carbon monoxide from entering your vehicle. • Do not leave the engine running in garages or other confined areas. (Continued) 5-1 (Continued) • Do not park with the engine running for a long period of time, even in an open area. If it is necessary to sit for a short time in a parked vehicle with the engine running, make sure the air intake selector is set to “FRESH AIR” and the fan is at high speed. • Avoid operating the vehicle with the tail gate or trunk open. If it is necessary to operate the vehicle with the tail gate or trunk open, make sure that all windows are closed, and the blower is at high speed with the air intake selector set to “FRESH AIR”. • To allow proper operation of your vehicle’s ventilation system, keep the air inlet grille in front of the windscreen clear of snow, leaves, or other obstructions at all times. • Keep the exhaust tailpipe area clear of snow and other material to help reduce the buildup of exhaust gases under the vehicle. This is particularly important when parked in blizzard conditions. • Have the exhaust system inspected periodically for damage and leaks. Any damage or leaks should be repaired immediately. Before Driving 60A187S 1) Make sure that windows, mirrors, lights, and reflectors are clean and unobstructed. 2) Visually check the tyres 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 “Tyres” in “INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE” section for details. 3) Look for fluid and oil leaks. NOTE: It is normal for water to drip from the air conditioning system after use. 96 OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE 4) Make sure the bonnet is fully closed and latched. 5) Check the headlights, turn signal lights, brake lights and horn for proper operation. 6) Adjust the seat and adjustable head restraint (if equipped). 7) Check the brake pedal and the parking brake lever. 8) Adjust the mirrors. 9) Make sure that you and all passengers have properly fastened your seat belts. 10)Make sure that all warning lights come on as the key is turned to the “ON” or “START” position. 11)Check all gauges. 12)Make sure that the BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING light turns off when the parking brake is released. Once a week, or each time you fill your fuel tank, perform the following underbonnet checks: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 97 Engine oil level Coolant level Brake fluid level Windscreen washer fluid level Battery solution level Bonnet latch operation Pull the bonnet release handle inside the vehicle. Make sure that you cannot open the bonnet all the way without releasing the secondary latch. Be sure to close the bonnet securely after checking for proper latch operation. Engine Oil Consumption See “All latches, hinges & locks” of “CHASSIS AND BODY” in the “Periodic Maintenance Schedule” in the “INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE” section for lubrication schedule. The amount of engine oil consumed depends on the viscosity of the oil, the quality of the oil and the conditions the vehicle is driven under. Make sure the bonnet 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 tyre pressure using a tyre pressure gauge. Also check the tyre pressure of the spare tyre. It is normal for the engine to consume some engine oil during normal vehicle operation. 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 (3000 miles) driving. When judging the amount of oil consumption, note that the oil may become diluted and make it difficult to accurately judge the true oil level. As an example, if a vehicle is used for repeated short trips, and consumes a normal amount of oil, the dipstick may not show any drop in the oil level at all, even after 1000 km (600 miles) or more of 5-2 OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE driving. This is because the oil is gradually becoming diluted with fuel or moisture, making it appear that the oil level has not changed. Starting the Engine Starting a Cold and Warm Engine Before Starting the Engine (For Petrol Engine) With your foot off the accelerator pedal, crank the engine by turning the ignition key to “START”. Release the key when the engine starts. 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. CAUTION 75J017 1) Make sure the parking brake is applied fully. 2) Change into “N” (Neutral) and depress the clutch pedal all the way to the floor. Hold it while starting the engine. Make sure that the parking brake is applied fully and the transmission is in Neutral before attempting to start the engine. 5-3 • Stop turning the starter immediately after the engine has started or the starter system can be damaged. • Do not crank the engine for more than 15 seconds at a time. If the engine doesn’t start on the first try, wait about 15 seconds before trying again. If the engine does not start after 15 seconds of cranking, wait about 15 seconds, then press down the accelerator pedal to 1/3 of its travel and try cranking the engine again. Release the key and accelerator pedal when the engine starts. If the engine still does not start, try holding the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor while cranking. This should clear the engine if it is flooded. 98 OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE (For Diesel Engine) Cold engine Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position and wait until the glow plug indicator goes out if it comes on. Crank the engine by turning the ignition key to “START”. Release the key when the engine starts. CAUTION • Stop turning the starter immediately after the engine has started or the starter system can be damaged. • Do not crank the engine for more than 15 seconds at a time. If the engine doesn’t start on the first try, wait about 15 seconds before trying again. Warm engine Crank the engine by turning the ignition key to “START”. Release the key when the engine starts. CAUTION When stopping the engine with turbocharger. When stopping the engine after climbing or high speed driving, let the engine idle for about one minute or more (if it is not prohibited) to cool down the turbocharger and engine oil. This is to prevent the engine oil from over-deteriorating. Deteriorated engine oil will damage the bearings of the turbocharger. 99 Restarting Diesel engine after fuelempty stop The engine stops and the malfunction indicator light comes on if the engine feels fuel emptiness. To restart the engine, stop the vehicles, hold the ignition key in “ON” position for 5–10 seconds to feed fuel, then perform above engine starting procedure. Have the indicator light turned off by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. Using the Transmission 63J051 Starting off To start off, push in the clutch pedal and change into 1st gear. After releasing the parking brake, gradually release the clutch. When you hear a change in the engine’s sound, slowly press the accelerator while continuing to gradually release the clutch. Gear changing All forward gears are synchronized, which provides for quiet, easy changing. Always push in the clutch pedal fully before changing gears. 5-4 OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE Downshifting maximum allowable speeds CAUTION • To help avoid clutch damage, do not use the clutch pedal as a footrest while driving or use the clutch to keep the vehicle stationary on a hill. Depress the clutch fully when changing gear. • When changing gears or starting off, do not race the engine. Racing the engine can shorten engine life and prevent smooth operation. For Petrol Engine Downshifting Km/h (mph) 2nd to 1st 50 (31) 3rd to 2nd 90 (56) 4th to 3rd 135 (84) 5th to 4th 180 (122)* For Diesel engine Downshifting Km/h (mph) 2nd to 1st 40 (25) 3rd to 2nd 70 (43) 4th to 3rd 115 (71) 5th to 4th 155 (96)* NOTE: (*) You may not accelerate to the maximum allowable speed because of the driving situation and/or the vehicle condition. CAUTION When downshifting to a lower gear, make sure not to operate with the speed faster than the maximum allowable speeds for the next lower gear, or severe engine damage can result. 5-5 54G263 Keep the engine speed so it does not get into the red zone of tachometer. • Reduce your speed and change down 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, be sure to slow down before changing down. Excessive and or sudden changes in engine speed may cause loss of traction, which could cause you to lose control. • Make sure that the vehicle is completely stationary before you change into reverse. 100 OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE Braking 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 (37 mph) will be approximately 4 times greater than the braking distance needed at 30 km/h (19 mph). Start to brake the vehicle when there is plenty of distance between your vehicle and the stopping point, and slow down gradually. 101 If water gets into the brake drums, brake performance may become poor and unpredictable. After driving through water or washing the underside of the vehicle, test the brakes while driving at a slow speed to see if they have maintained their normal effectiveness. If the brakes are less effective than normal, dry them by repeatedly applying the brakes while driving slowly until the brakes have regained their normal effectiveness. Servo Assisted Brakes Your vehicle has servo assisted brakes. If servo assistance is lost due to a stalled engine or other failures, the system is still fully operational on reserve power and you can bring the vehicle to a complete stop by pressing the brake pedal once and holding it down. The reserve power is partly used up when you depress the brake pedal and reduces each time the pedal is pressed. Apply smooth and even pressure to the pedal. Do not pump the pedal. 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. Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) (if equipped) ABS will help you avoid skidding by controlling braking pressure. It will also help you maintain steering control when braking on slippery surfaces or when braking hard. The ABS works automatically, so you do not need any special braking technique. Just push the brake pedal down without pumping. The ABS will operate whenever it senses that the wheels are locking up. You may feel the brake pedal moves a little while the ABS is operating. NOTE: The ABS will not work if vehicle speed is under about 6 km/h (4 mph). 5-6 OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE • On some types of loose surfaces (such as gravel, snow-covered roads, etc.) the stopping distance required for an ABS-equipped vehicle may be slightly greater than for a comparable vehicle with a conventional brake system. With a conventional brake system, skidding tyres are able to “plow” the gravel or snow layer, shortening the stopping distance, ABS minimizes this resistance effect. Allow for extra stopping distance when driving on loose surfaces. • On regular paved roads, some drivers may be able to obtain slightly shorter stopping distances with conventional brake systems than with ABS. • In both of the above conditions, ABS will still offer the advantage of helping you maintain directional control. However, remember that ABS will not compensate for bad road or weather conditions or poor driver judgment. Use good judgment and do not drive faster than conditions will safely allow. 5-7 63J081 (1) ABS warning light (2) Brake system warning light • If the ABS warning light (1) on the instrument panel comes on and stays on while driving, there may be a problem with the ABS system. Ask your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer to inspect the ABS system immediately. If the ABS system becomes inoperative, the brake system will function as an ordinary brake system that has no ABS. • If the ABS warning light (1) and the Brake system warning light (2) on the instrument panel simultaneously stays on or comes on when driving, both anti-lock function and rear brake force control function (Proportioning valve function) of the ABS system may have failed. If so, the rear wheels may easily skid or the vehicle can even spin in the (Continued) (Continued) worst case when braking on a slippery road or when hard braking even on a dry paved road. Ask your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer to inspect the ABS system immediately. Drive carefully, avoiding hard braking as much as possible. How the ABS Works A computer continuously monitors wheel speed. The computer compares the changes in wheel speed when braking. If the wheels slow suddenly, indicating a skidding situation, the computer will change braking pressure several times each second to prevent the wheels from locking. When you start your vehicle after a stop you may hear a momentary motor noise as the system checks itself. The ABS may not work properly if tyres 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 tyres or wheels, use only the size and type specified in this owner’s manual. 102 OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE Running-in CAUTION The future performance and reliability of the engine depends on the care and restraint exercised during its early life. It is especially important to observe the following precautions during the initial 960 km (600 miles) of vehicle operation. • After starting, do not race the engine. Warm it up gradually. • Avoid prolonged vehicle operation at a constant speed. Moving 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 (200 miles) of driving. • Do not drive slowly with the transmission in a high gear. • Drive the vehicle at moderate engine speeds. • Do not tow a trailer during the first 960 km (600 miles) of vehicle operation. 103 in permanent heat damage to the catalyst and other vehicle components. Catalytic Converter (if equipped) CAUTION 80G106 The purpose of the catalytic converter is to minimize the amount of har mful 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, loose wiring etc. may cause overheating of the catalyst. This may result To minimize the possibility of catalyst or other vehicle damage: • Maintain the engine in the proper operating condition. • In the event of an engine malfunction, particularly one involving engine misfire or other apparent loss of performance, have the vehicle serviced promptly. • Do not turn off the engine or interrupt the ignition when the transmission is in gear and the vehicle is in motion. • Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the vehicle, or coasting down a hill. • Do not idle the engine with any spark plug wires disconnected or removed, such as during diagnostic testing. • Do not idle the vehicle for prolonged periods if idling seems rough or there are other malfunctions. • Do not allow the fuel tank to get near the empty level. 5-8 OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE Improving Fuel Economy The following instructions will help you improve fuel economy. 54G071S 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 excessive idling If you are to wait for more than a minute while you are parked, stop the engine and start it again later. When warming up a cold engine, allow the engine to idle until the temperature gauge pointer comes up to the “C” position (if the idling is not prohibited). In this position, the engine is sufficiently warm for starting off. Avoid “fast” starts Fast starts away from lights or stop signs will consume fuel unnecessarily and shorten engine life. Start off slowly. Avoid unnecessary stops Avoid unnecessary deceleration and stopping. Try to maintain a slow, steady speed whenever possible. Slowing down and then accelerating again uses more fuel. Keep a steady cruising speed Keep as constant a speed as road and traffic conditions will permit. WARNING 5-9 Keep the air cleaner clean (Petrol Engine) 60A183S A dirty air cleaner will cause the fuel supply system to supply too much fuel to the engine for the amount of air being supplied. The result is waste of fuel due to incomplete combustion. (Diesel Engine) No cleaning required Keep weight to a minimum The heavier the load, the more fuel the vehicle consumes. Take out any luggage or cargo when it is not necessary. Keep tyre pressures correct Underinflation of the tyres can waste fuel due to increased running resistance of the tyres. Keep your tyres inflated to the correct pressure shown on the label on the driver’s side door or the driver’s door lock pillar. 104 DRIVING TIPS DRIVING TIPS High-Speed Driving ............................................................... 6-1 Driving on Hills ..................................................................... 6-1 Driving on Slippery Roads .................................................. 6-2 105 DRIVING TIPS 52D078S • Wear Your Seat Belts at All Times. Even though air bags are equipped at the front seating positions, the driver and all passengers should be properly restrained at all times, using the seat belts provided. Refer to the “Seat Belts and Child Restraint Systems” section for instructions on proper use of the seat belts. • Never drive while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. Alcohol and drugs can seriously impair your ability to drive safely, greatly increasing the risk of injury to yourself and others. You should also avoid driving when you are tired, sick, irritated, or under stress. 6-1 High-Speed Driving Driving on Hills When driving at high-speed, 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, “Aquaplaning” can occur. “Aquaplaning” is the loss of direct contact between the road surface and the vehicle’s tyres due to a water film forming between them. Steering or braking the vehicle while “Aquaplaning” can be very difficult, and loss of control can occur. Keep speed down when the road surface is wet. • 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. • When climbing steep hills, the car may begin to slow down and show a lack of power. If this happens, you should change to a lower gear so that the engine will again be operating in its normal power range. Change rapidly to prevent the car from losing momentum. • When driving down a hill, the engine should be used for braking by moving to next lower gear. 75J018 106 DRIVING TIPS Driving on Slippery Roads Try not to hold the brake pedal down too long or too often while going down a steep or long hill. This could cause the brakes to overheat, resulting in reduced braking efficiency. Failure to take this precaution could result in loss of vehicle control. CAUTION When descending a down hill, NEVER turn the ignition key to the “OFF” position. Emission control system damage may result. 60G089S Under wet road conditions you should drive at a lower speed than on dry roads due to possible slippage of tyres during braking. When driving on icy, snow-covered, or muddy roads, reduce your speed and avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt braking, or sharp steering movements. If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck If your vehicle gets stuck in snow, mud, or sand, follow the directions below: Do not race the engine. Excessive wheel spin will cause the tyres to dig deeper, making it more difficult to free the vehicle. 2) If your vehicle remains stuck after a few minutes of rocking, get another vehicle to pull you out. 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 (25 mph) on the speedometer. Personal injury and/ or vehicle damage may result from spinning the wheels too fast. CAUTION Do not continue rocking the vehicle for more than a few minutes. Prolonged rocking can cause engine overheating or transmission damage. 1) Change back and forth between first gear and reverse. This will create a rocking motion which may give you enough momentum to free the vehicle. Press gently on the accelerator to keep wheel spin to a minimum. Remove your foot from the accelerator while changing gear. 107 6-2 DRIVING TIPS 54G074S WARNING In addition to following the driving tips in this section, it is important to observe the following precautions. • Make sure your tyres are in good condition and always maintain the specified tyre pressure. Refer to “Tyres” in the “INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE” section for details. • Do not use tyres other than those specified by MARUTI SUZUKI. Never use different sizes or types of tyres on the front and rear wheels. For information regarding (Continued) the specified tyres, refer to the Tyre Inflation Pressure Label located on the driver’s side door pillar. • Never use oversized tyres or special shock absorbers and springs to raise (jack up) your vehicle. This will change the handling characteristics. Oversized tyres may also rub against the fender over bumps, causing vehicle damage or tyre 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.

The weight capacities of your vehicle are indicated by the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR, front and rear). The GVWR and GAWR (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). GAWR – (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 GAWR (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. 7-1 Trailer Towing 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 Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). Your MARUTI SUZUKI was originally designed to carry people and a normal amount of cargo, not to tow a trailer. MARUTI SUZUKI does not recommend you use your vehicle to tow a trailer if there is not any local regulation about towing capacity permitted (for example, registered or statutory towing capacity). Towing a trailer can adversely affect handling, durability, and fuel economy. 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. 110 VEHICLE LOADING TOWING Some countries have regulations which specifically allow trailer towing up to a specified maximum trailer weight (registered or statutory towing capacity, whichever is smaller); vehicles sold in these countries can be used to tow a light trailer, provided the trailer does not exceed the maximum trailer weight specified in the country’s regulations. If you use your MARUTI SUZUKI to tow a trailer, you should always observe the requirements and recommendations in this section. If you intend to tow a trailer, it is essential to select a trailer and trailer towing equipment which are compatible. A reputable towing specialist can help you. CAUTION Trailer towing puts additional stress on the engine, drive train, and brakes of your vehicle. Never tow a trailer during the first 960 km (600 miles) of vehicle operation. 111 Brakes If trailer brakes are used, you should follow all instructions provided by the manufacturer. Never connect to the brake system of your vehicle and never take an electrical supply directly from the wiring harness. Tyres When towing a trailer, it is very important for your vehicle and trailer to have properly inflated tyres. Your vehicle’s tyres should be inflated to the pressures listed on your vehicles Tyre Information label. If laden pressures are listed on the label, the tyres should be inflated to the laden pressures. Inflate trailer tyres according to the specifications provided by the trailer manufacturer. Mirrors Check to see if your vehicle’s mirrors meet local requirements for mirrors used on towing vehicles. If they do not, you must install the required mirrors before you tow. 7-2 VEHICLE LOADING AND TOWING Vehicle/Trailer Loading To load your vehicle and trailer properly, you must know how to measure gross trailer weight and trailer nose weight. Gross Trailer Weight is the weight of the trailer plus all the cargo in it. You can measure gross trailer weight by putting the fully loaded trailer on a vehicle scale. Nose Weight is the downward force exerted on the tow bar by the trailer coupler, with the trailer fully loaded and the coupler at its normal towing height. This weight can be measured using a bathroom scales. The weight of your loaded trailer (Gross Trailer Weight) should never exceed the “Towing capacity”. Distribute cargo in your trailer so that nose weight is about 10% of gross trailer weight, but does not exceed “Maximum vertical load on trailer hitch point”. You should measure gross trailer weight and nose weight before towing to make sure that your load is properly distributed. 7-3 Additional Trailer Towing Warnings Improper weight distribution of your trailer may result in poor vehicle handling and swaying of the trailer. Always make sure that trailer nose weight is about 10% of gross trailer weight, but does not exceed “Maximum vertical load on trailer hitch point”. Also make sure that the cargo is properly secured. Failure to observe this requirement may result in an accident. Connect trailer lights and hook up safety chains every time you tow. CAUTION Because towing a trailer puts additional stress on your vehicle, more frequent maintenance will be required than under normal driving conditions. Follow the schedule for “Maintenance Recommended under Severe Driving Conditions”. Never overload your trailer or your vehicle. Gross trailer weight must never exceed the “Towing capacity”. Gross vehicle weight (sum of the weights of the vehicle, all the occupants, accessories including tow bars and a trailer hitch, cargo and trailer nose weight) must never exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) listed in the “SPECIFICATIONS” section. 112 VEHICLE LOADING TOWING Your vehicle will handle differently when towing a trailer. For your safety and the safety of others, you should observe the following precautions: • Practice turning, stopping, and reversing before you begin towing in traffic. Do not tow in traffic until you are confident that you can handle the vehicle and trailer safely. • Never exceed towing speed limits or 80 km/h (50 mph), whichever is lower. • Never drive at a speed that causes shaking or swaying of the trailer. If you notice even the slightest sign of shaking or swaying, slow down. • When roads are wet, slippery or rough, drive at a slower speed than you would on dry, smooth roads. Failure to slow down when road conditions are bad can result in loss of control. • Always have someone guide you when reversing. • Allow adequate stopping distance. Stopping distance is increased when you tow a trailer. For each 16 (Continued) 113 (Continued) km/h (10 mph) of speed, allow at least one vehicle and trailer length between you and the vehicle ahead. Follow at a greater distance if roads are wet or slippery. • If the trailer has over-run brakes, apply the brakes gradually to avoid snatching caused by the trailer wheels locking. • Slow down before corners and maintain a steady speed while cornering. Deceleration or acceleration while cornering can result in loss of control. Remember that a larger than normal turning radius is needed because the trailer wheels will be closer than vehicle wheels to the inside of the turn. • Avoid sudden acceleration and stopping of the vehicle. Do not make quick maneuvers unless they are necessary. • Slow down in cross winds and be prepared for gusts of wind from large passing vehicles. (Continued) (Continued) • Be careful when overtaking other vehicles. Be sure to allow enough room for your trailer before you change lanes, and signal well in advance. • Slow down and change into a lower gear before you reach long or steep downhill grades. It is hazardous to attempt changing down while you are descending a hill. • Avoid “riding” the brakes. This could cause the brakes to overheat resulting in reduced braking efficiency. Use engine braking as much as possible. • Because of the added trailer weight, your engine may overheat on hot days when going up long or steep hills. Pay attention to your engine temperature gauge. If it indicates overheating, pull off the road and stop in a safe place. Refer to “If the Engine Overheats” in “EMERGENCY SERVICE” section. 7-4 VEHICLE LOADING AND TOWING EXAMPLE (Continued) 60A186 When starting out after parking: 1) Depress the clutch and start the engine. 2) Change into gear, release the parking brake, and slowly pull away from the chocks. 3) Stop, apply the brakes firmly and hold them. 4) Have another person remove the chocks. Towing Your Vehicle (recreational towing) Your vehicle may be towed behind another vehicle (such as a motorhome), provided your vehicle is 2 wheel drive (2WD) and you use the proper towing method specified for your vehicle. Use the towing instruction table to select the proper towing method for your vehicle, and carefully follow the corresponding instructions. Be sure to use proper towing equipment designed for recreational towing and make sure that towing speed does not exceed 90 km/h (55 mph). When parking your vehicle and connected trailer, always use the following procedure: 1) Apply the vehicle’s brakes firmly. 2) Have another person place wheel chocks under the wheels of the vehicle and the trailer while you are holding the brakes. 3) Slowly release the brakes until the wheel chocks absorb the load. 4) Fully engage the parking brake. 5) Change the manual transmission into reverse or first gear and turn off the engine.

Make sure the drive belt tension is correct. If the belt is too loose, insufficient battery charging, engine overheating, poor power steering, poor air conditioning, or excessive belt wear can result. When you press the belt with your thumb midway between the pulleys, there should be a deflection according to the following chart. The belts should also be examined to ensure that they are not damaged. 77A023 Belt deflection: 5 – 7 mm (0.20 – 0.28 in.) 77J048 Air conditioner belt Be sure that the engine oil you use comes under the quality classification of SE, SF, SG, SH, SJ or SL. Select the appropriate oil viscosity according to the above chart. The recommended Engine Oil is SF 20 W 40. If you need to replace or adjust the belt have it done by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. 77J047 Belt deflection: 7 – 8 mm (0.28 – 0.31 in.) 125 8-6 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE Specified Oil (For Diesel Engine) It is important to keep the engine oil at the correct level for proper lubrication of your vehicle’s engine. Check the oil level with the vehicle on a level surface. The oil level indication may be inaccurate if the vehicle is on a slope. The oil level should be checked either before starting the engine or at least 5 minutes after stopping the engine. Oil Level Check (For Petrol Engine) 84E010 Be sure that the engine oil you use comes under the quality classification of ACEA B3. Select the appropriate oil viscosity according to the above char t. The recommended Engine Oil is SF 15 W 40, API-CG4 or above. 80G064 (For Diesel Engine) Pull out the oil dipstick, wipe-off oil with a clean cloth, insert the dipstick all the way into the engine, then remove it again. The oil on the stick should be between the upper and lower limits shown on the stick. If the oil level indication is near the lower limit, add enough oil to raise the level to the upper limit. 84E012 (1) MIN (2) MAX (3) Engine oil dipstick 8-7 126 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE Refilling (Diesel Engine) CAUTION Failure to check the oil level regularly could lead to serious engine trouble due to insufficient oil. EXAMPLE Changing Engine Oil and Filter Drain the engine oil while the engine is still warm. Refilling (Petrol Engine) 65D444 127 Remove the oil filler cap and pour oil slowly through the filler hole to bring the oil level to the upper limit on the dipstick. Be careful not to overfill. Too much oil is almost as bad as too little oil. After refilling, start the engine and allow it to idle for about a minute. Stop the engine, wait about 5 minutes and check the oil level again. 77J031 1) Remove the oil filler cap. 2) Place a drain pan under the drain plug. 3) Using a wrench, remove the drain plug and drain out the engine oil. 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. 8-8 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE For Petrol Engine For Diesel Engine 1 2 60G306 Tightening torque for drain plug: For Petrol Engine 50 Nm (5.0 kg-m, 36.5 lb-ft) For Diesel Engine 20 Nm (2.0 kg-m, 14.5 lb-ft) Note: Washer (1) should be replaced every time when opened. 8-9 New and used oil can be hazardous. Children and pets may be harmed by swallowing new or used oil. Keep new and used oil and used oil filters away from children and pets. Continuous contact with used engine oil has been found to cause [skin] cancer in laboratory animals. Brief contact with used oil may irritate skin. To minimize your exposure to used oil, wear a long-sleeve shirt and 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 wet with oil. Recycle or properly dispose of used oil and filters. 128 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE 4) Reinstall the drain plug and gasket. Tighten the plug with a wrench to the specified torque. For Diesel Engine For Petrol Engine Replace the Oil Filter 1) Using an oil filter wrench, turn the oil filter counterclockwise and remove it. 2) Using a clean rag, wipe off the mounting surface on the engine where the new filter will be seated. 3) Smear a little engine oil around the rubber gasket of the new oil filter. 4) Screw on the new filter by hand until the filter gasket contacts the mounting surface. 54G092 (1) Loosen (2) Tighten Tightening (viewed from filter top) 84E016 (1) Loosen (2) Tighten Note: Replace ring alongwith the new filter. Never use the old ring in the new filter. 54G093 (1) Oil filter 129 (2) 3/4 turn 8-10 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE CAUTION To tighten the oil filter properly, it is Important to accurately identify the position at which the filter gasket first contacts the mounting surface. 5) Tighten the filter specified turn from the point of contact with the mounting surface (or to the specified torque) using an oil filter wrench. Tightening torque for oil filter • Petrol Engine 3/4 turn or 14 Nm (1.4 kg-m, 10.5 lb-ft) • Diesel Engine 3/4 turn or 25 Nm (2.5 kg-m, 18.1 lb-ft) CAUTION To prevent oil leakage, make sure that the oil filter is tight, but do not over-tighten it. 8-11 Refill with Oil and Check for Leaks Gear Oil 1) Pour oil through the filler hole and install the filler cap. For the approximate capacity of the oil, refer to the “CAPACITIES” item in the “SPECIFICATIONS” section. 2) Start the engine and look carefully for leaks at the oil filter and drain plug. Run the engine at various speeds for at least 5 minutes. 3) Stop the engine and wait about 5 minutes. Check the oil level again and add oil if necessary. Check for leaks again. Manual Transmission Oil When adding gear oil, use the appropriate viscosity and grade. We highly recommend you use: API GL-4 SAE 75W-90 for manual transmission oil Gear Oil Level Check CAUTION • When replacing the oil filter, it is recommended that you use a genuine MARUTI replacement filter. If you use an aftermarket filter, make sure it is of equivalent quality and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. • Oil leaks from around the oil filter or drain plug indicate incorrect installation or gasket damage. If you find any leaks or are not sure that the filter has been properly tightened, have the vehicle inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. 62J080 (1) Oil filler and level plug To check the gear oil level, use the following procedure: 1) Park the vehicle on a level surface with the parking brake applied. Then, stop the engine. 2) Remove the oil filler plug (1). 3) Feel the inside of the hole with your finger. If the oil level comes up to the 130 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE bottom of the plug hole, the oil level is correct. If so, reinstall the plug. 4) If the oil level is low, add gear oil through the oil filler plug hole (1) until the oil level reaches the bottom of the filler hole, then reinstall the plug. Engine Coolant (For Diesel Engine) (For Petrol Engine) Tightening torque (1): 21 Nm (2.1 kg-m, 15.5 lb-ft) After driving the vehicle, the transmission oil temperature may be high enough to burn you. Wait until the oil filler plug is cool enough to touch with your bare hands before inspecting transmission oil. 62J129 77J032 CAUTION When tightening the plug, apply the following sealing compound or equivalent to the plug threads to prevent oil leakage. SUZUKI Bond No. “1216B” or “1217G” Gear Oil Change Since special procedures, materials and tools are required, it is recommended that you trust this job to your authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. 131 60A208S 8-12 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE Selection of Coolant To maintain optimum performance and durability of your engine, use MARUTI Genuine Coolant or equivalent. This type of coolant is best for your cooling system as it: • Helps maintain proper engine temperature. • Gives proper protection against freezing and boiling. • Gives proper protection against corrosion and rust. Failure to use the proper coolant can damage your cooling system. Your authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer can help you select the proper coolant. CAUTION To avoid damaging your cooling system: • Always use a high quality ethylene glycol non-silicate based coolant diluted with distilled water at the correct mixture concentration. • Make sure that the proper mix is 50/ 50 coolant to distilled water and in no case higher than 70/30. Concentrations greater than 70/30 coolant to distilled water will cause overheating conditions. (Continued) 8-13 CAUTION (Continued) • Neither use 100% coolant nor 100% plain water. • Do not add extra inhibitors or additives. They may not be compatible with your cooling system. • Do not mix different types of base coolants. Doing so may result in accelerated seal wear and/or the possibility of severe overheating and extensive engine damage. Coolant Level Check Check the coolant level at the reservoir tank, not at the radiator. With the engine cool, the coolant level should be between the “FULL” and “LOW” marks. (For Diesel Engine) It is hazardous to remove the reservoir tank cap (degassing tank cap) for 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. If the coolant level is below the “LOW” mark, more coolant should be added. When the engine is cool, remove the degassing tank cap by turning it anticlockwise slowly to release any pressure. And add coolant until the degassing tank level reaches the “FULL” mark. Never fill the degassing tank above the “FULL” mark. Adding Coolant (For Petrol Engine) If the coolant level is below the “LOW” mark, more coolant should be added. Remove the reservoir tank cap and add coolant until the reservoir tank level reaches the “FULL” mark. Never fill the reservoir tank above the “FULL” mark. 132 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE CAUTION • 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 arrow on the cap and the arrow on the tank. Failure to follow this can result in coolant leakage. Engine coolant is harmful or fatal if swallowed or inhaled. Do not drink antifreeze or coolant solution. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Immediately contact a poison control centre or a physician. Avoid inhaling mist or hot vapors; if inhaled, remove to fresh air. If coolant gets in eyes, flush eyes with water and seek medical attention. Wash thoroughly after handling. Solution can be poisonous to animals. Keep out of the reach of children and animals. 133 Coolant Replacement Coolant replacement wor k requires technical skill. Do not replace the coolant by yourself. Trust this job to Maruti Suzuki Authorised Dealer Workshop or Service Station. Windscreen Washer Fluid Front and rear 63J089 Check that there is washer fluid in the tank. Refill it if necessary. Use a good quality windscreen washer fluid, diluted with water as necessary. Do not use “antifreeze” solution in the windscreen washer reservoir. This can severely impair visibility when sprayed on the windscreen, and can also damage your vehicle’s paint. 8-14 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE CAUTION Damage may result if the washer motor is operated with no fluid in the washer tank. If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there will be greater intake resistance, resulting in decreased power output and increased fuel consumption. Unclamp/unscrew the side clamps/screws and remove the element from the air cleaner case. If it appears to be dirty, replace it with a new one. Air Cleaner (For Petrol Engine) 77J033 (For Diesel Engine) 62J130 8-15 134 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE Spark Plugs (Petrol Engine) accumulates on spark may not carbon deposits adjust the spark a spark plug, a strong be produced. Remove with a wire or pin and plug gap. To access the spark plugs: 1) Remove the two bolts (1) fixing the air cleaner assembly. 2) If necessary, disconnect the coupler (2) while pushing the release lever. 3) Remove the ignitor bolts. 4) Pull the spark plug boots out. 77J034 NOTE: When installation, make sure the wires, couplers, sealing rubber of top cover and washers, are correctly returned in place. 60G102 CAUTION • When disconnecting the spark plug cables, pull on the boot, not on the cable itself. Pulling on the cable can damage it. • When servicing the iridium/ platinum spark plugs (slender center electrode type plugs), do not touch the center electrode, as it is easy to damage. 54G105 You should inspect spark plugs periodically for carbon deposits. When carbon 135 8-16 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE 60G160S CAUTION • When installing the spark plugs, screw them in with your fingers to avoid stripping the threads. Tighten with a torque wrench to 25 Nm (2.5 kg-m, 18.0 lb-ft). Do not allow contaminants to enter the engine through the spark plug holes when the plugs are removed. • Never use spark plugs with the wrong thread size. 8-17 54G106 Spark plug gap “a” 0.8 – 0.9 mm (0.031 – 0.035 in.) CAUTION When replacing spark plugs, you should use the brand and type specified for your vehicle. For the specified spark plugs, refer to the “SPECIFICATIONS” section at the end of this book. If you wish to use a brand of spark plug other than the specified plugs, consult your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. 65D204 NOTE: If your engine is equipped with the high tension cord type ignition wiring and you experience some firing problem of spark plugs, such as, hard engine-starting, misfire etc., the cause may be located not only on spark plugs but also on deteriorated ignition wirings (generally, used for more than 80,000 km or five years). If spark plug replacement does not solve the problem, have the ignition wiring and other ignition system inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. 136 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE Fuel Filter (Diesel engine) Brakes Brake Fluid (1) Fuel Filter 75J025 The fuel filter works as a water sedimentor as well. Drain water according to the Periodic Maintenance Schedule. To drain water: 1) Place a pan or ample rag under the fuel filter drain nozzle. 2) Loosen the drain knob. The water will be drained. 3) Tighten the drain knob when the water changes to the diesel fuel. 4) Tighten the drain knob. Note: Trust this job to be carried out that Maruti Suzuki authorised workshop. 137 Check the brake fluid level by looking at the reservoir in the engine compartment. Check that the fluid level is between the “MAX” and “MIN” lines. If the brake fluid level is near the “MIN” line, fill it up to the “MAX” line with MARUTI GENUINE brake fluid. Failure to follow the guidelines below can result in personal injury or serious damage to the brake system. • If the brake fluid in the reservoir drops below a certain level, the brake warning light on the instrument panel will come on (the engine must be running with the parking brake fully disengaged). Should the light come on, immediately ask your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer to inspect the brake system. • A rapid fluid loss indicates a leak in the brake system which should be inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer immediately. • Brake fluid can harm your eyes and damage painted surfaces. Use caution when refilling the reservoir. • Do not use any fluid other than MARUTI GENUINE brake fluid. Do not use reclaimed fluid or fluid that has been stored in old or open containers. It is essential that foreign particles and other liquids are kept out of the brake fluid reservoir. 8-18 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE Brake fluid is harmful or fatal if swallowed, and harmful if it comes in contact with skin or eyes. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Immediately contact a poison control centre or a physician. If brake fluid gets in eyes, flush eyes with water and seek medical attention. Wash thoroughly after handling. Solution can be poisonous to animals. Keep out of the reach of children and animals. 54G108 Check if the brake pedal stops at the regular height without “spongy” feeling when you depress it. If not, have the brake system inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. If you doubt the brake pedal for the regular height, check it as follows: Pedal to wall minimum distance “a”: 85 mm (3.3 in.) With the engine running, measure the distance between the brake pedal and floor wall when the pedal is depressed with approximately 30 kg (66 lbs) of force. The minimum distance required is as specified. Since your vehicle’s brake system is selfadjusting, there is no need for pedal adjustment. If the pedal to floor wall distance as measured above is less than the minimum distance required, have your vehicle inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. 8-19 NOTE: When measuring the distance between the brake pedal and floor wall, be sure not to include the floor mat or rubber on the floor wall in your measurement. NOTE: With disc brakes, the fluid level can be expected to gradually fall as the brake pads wear. Brake Pedal 60G104S If you experience any of the following problems with your vehicle’s brake system, have the vehicle inspected immediately by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. • Poor braking performance • Uneven braking (Brakes not working uniformly on all wheels.) • Excessive pedal travel • Brake dragging • Excessive noise • Pedal pulsation (Pedal pulsates when depressed.) 138 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE Parking Brake Steering 54G109 Ratchet tooth specification “b”: 4th – 9th Lever pull force (1): 200 N (20 kg, 44 lbs) Check the parking brake for proper adjustment by counting the number of clicks made by the ratchet teeth as you slowly pull up on the parking brake lever to the point of full engagement. The parking brake lever should stop between the specified ratchet teeth and the rear wheels should be securely locked. If the parking brake is not properly adjusted or the brakes drag after the lever has been fully released, have the parking brake inspected and/or adjusted by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. 139 Clutch Pedal 54G110 Steering wheel play “c”: 0 – 30 mm (0.0 – 1.2 in.) Check the play of the steering wheel by gently turning it from left to right and measuring the distance that it moves before you feel slight resistance. The play should be between the specified values. Check that the steering wheel turns easily and smoothly without rattling by turning it all the way to the right and to the left while driving very slowly in an open area. If the amount of free play is outside the specification or you find anything else to be wrong, an inspection must be performed by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. 54G274 Clutch pedal play “d”: 10 mm (0.4 in.) Measure the clutch pedal play by moving the clutch pedal with your hand and measuring the distance it moves until you feel slight resistance. The play in the clutch pedal should be between the specified values. If the play is more or less than the above, or clutch dragging is felt with the pedal fully depressed, have the clutch inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. 8-20 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE Fluid Control Clutch (if equipped) Tyre Inspection Tires Inspect your vehicle’s tyres at least once a month by performing the following checks: 1) Measure the air pressure with a tyre gauge. Adjust the pressure if necessary. Remember to check the spare tyre, too. 62J102 61J035 Check the clutch pedal for smooth operation and brake fluid level from time to time. If clutch dragging is felt with the pedal fully depressed, have the clutch inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. If the brake fluid level is near the “MIN” line, fill it up to the “MAX” line with MARUTI GENUINE brake fluid. The front and rear tire pressure specifications for your vehicle are listed on the Tire Information Label. Both the front and rear tires should have the specified tire pressure. 8-21 • Air pressures should be checked when the tyres are cold or you may get inaccurate readings. • Check the inflation pressure from time to time while inflating the tyre gradually, until the specified pressure is obtained. • Never underinflate or overinflate the tyres. Underinflation can cause unusual handling characteristics or can cause the rim to slip on the tyre bead, resulting in an accident or damage to the tyre or rim. Overinflation can cause the tyre to burst, resulting in personal injury. Overinflation can also cause unusual handling characteristics which may result in an accident. 140 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE CAUTION Hitting curbs and running over rocks can damage tyres and affect wheel alignment. Be sure to have tyres and wheel alignment checked periodically by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. 4) Check for loose wheel nuts. 5) Check that there are no nails, stones or other objects sticking into the tyres. 54G136 (1) Tread wear indicator (2) Indicator location mark 2) Check that the depth of the tread groove is more than 1.6 mm (0.06 in.). To help you check this, the tyres have molded-in tread wear indicators in the grooves. When the indicators appear on the tread surface, the remaining depth of the tread is 1.6 mm (0.06 in.) or less and the tyre should be replaced. 3) Check for abnormal wear, cracks and damage. Any tyres with cracks or other damage should be replaced. If any tyres show abnormal wear, have them inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. 141 • Your MARUTI SUZUKI is equipped with tyres which are all the same type and size. This is important to ensure proper steering and handling of the vehicle. Never mix tyres of different size or type on the four wheels of your vehicle. The size and type of tyres used should be only those approved by MARUTI SUZUKI as standard or optional equipment for your vehicle. • Replacing the wheels and tyres equipped on your vehicle with certain combinations of aftermarket wheels and tyres can significantly change the steering and handling characteristics of your vehicle. • Therefore, use only those wheel and tyre combinations approved by MARUTI SUZUKI as standard or optional equipment for your vehicle. Replacing the original tyres with tyres of a different size may result in false speedometer or odometer readings. Check with your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer before purchasing replacement tyres that differ in size from the original tyres. Tyre Rotation 54G114 To avoid uneven wear of your tyres and to prolong their life, rotate the tyres as illustrated. Tyres should be rotated every 5,000 km. After rotation, adjust front and rear tyre pressures to the specification listed on your vehicle’s Tyre Information Label. 8-22 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE 7) Install the new wheel and replace the wheel nuts with their cone shaped end facing the wheel. Tighten each nut snugly by hand until the wheel is securely seated on the hub. 8) Lower the jack and fully tighten the nuts in a crisscross fashion with a wrench as shown in the illustration. Changing Wheels Type 1 & Type 2 77J036 77J024 Dzire To change a wheel, use the following procedure: 1) Clear all passengers and luggage from the vehicle. 2) Remove the jack, tools and spare wheel from the vehicle. 3) Loosen, but do not remove the wheel nuts. 4) Jack up the vehicle (follow the jacking instructions in the “EMERGENCY SERVICE” section in this manual). 5) Remove the wheel nuts and wheel. 6) Before installing the new wheel, clean any mud or dirt off from the surface of the wheel and hub with a clean cloth. Clean the hub carefully; it may be hot from driving. 54G116 Tightening torque for wheel nut 85 Nm (8.5 kgf-m, 61.5 lb-ft) (Petrol) 70 Nm (7.0 kgf-m, 50.6 lb-ft) (Diesel) 55KS031 8-23 142 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE Tubeless Tyres (If equipped) Use genuine wheel nuts and tighten them to the specified torque as soon as possible after changing wheels. Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tightened wheel nuts may come loose or fall off, which can result in an accident. If you do not have a torque wrench, have the wheel nut torque checked by an authorized SUZUKI dealer. 143 The vehicle is equipped with Tubeless Tyres. In tubeless tyre, a thin layer of butyl rubber is used for lining the inside of the tubeless tyre. This layer is to prevent air loss and fulfilling the purpose of tube. The air pressure is maintained by the sealing between tyre bead and wheel rim. Tubeless tyres are having advantage of slow air loss and preventing sudden deflation while driving. Care and maintenance tips for tubeless tyres 1. Always maintain recommended inflation pressure. Driving continously at low inflation pressure can lead to tyre damage. 2. In case any leakage is found, check for any nail penetration/valve core damage or rim bent. Damaged wheel must not be used. 3. In case tyre has run at low pressue, it must be inspected for any defect. 4. Whenver new tyre is fitted, replace the valve. 5. If continous high speed driving is required, increase tyres pressure by 5 psi over recommended inflation pressure. 6. Never run the tyre beyond TWI (Tread wear indicator). The tyre is recommended to be replaced when the remaining tread has worn to this point. The indicators are spaced across the tread around the tyre marked by a triagular symbol (TWI). 7. Always prefer tubeless tyre mounting machine. In case of manual mountingtyre/wheel rim damage may occur. 8. In case of any problem, please get in touch with MARUTI SUZUKI authorised dealer. 8-24 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE Full Wheel Cover (If equipped) Type 1 Type 2 8-25 Dzire Insert a piece of cloth between the spokes of the wheel cover and try to pull the cover outward (as shown in figure). Take out the detached wheel cover from the wheel rim. For installation first match the slot at the wheel cover with the air filling nozzle of the wheel. Apply equal pressure at the circumference of the wheel cover to fix it in the wheel rim. Battery • Batteries produce flammable hydrogen gas. Keep flames and sparks away from the battery or an explosion may occur. Never smoke when working in the vicinity of the battery. • When checking or servicing the battery, disconnect the negative cable. Be careful not to cause a short circuit by allowing metal objects to contact the battery posts and the vehicle at the same time. • To avoid harm to yourself or damage to your vehicle or battery, follow the jump starting instructions in the “EMERGENCY SERVICE” section of this manual if it is necessary to jump start your vehicle. 144 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE Fuses EXAMPLE Your vehicle has three types of fuses, as described below: Fuses in the Engine Compartment (Petrol Engine) Main fuse The main fuse takes current directly from the battery. Primary fuses These fuses are between the main fuse and individual fuses, and are for electrical load groups. 75J026 For maintenance-free battery (cap-less type), you need not add water. The level of the battery solution must be kept between the “Max” and the “Min” level lines at all times. If the level is found to be below the “Min” level line, you have to replace the current battery with the new one. You should, however, periodically check the battery, battery terminals and battery holddown bracket for corrosion. Remove corrosion using a stiff brush and ammonia mixed with water, or baking soda mixed with water. After removing corrosion, rinse with clean water. If your vehicle is not going to be driven for a month or longer, disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery to help prevent discharge. 145 Individual fuses These fuses are for individual electrical circuits.

Especially, do not raise the vehicle with a jack at a part of the torsion beam which is located under the vehicle body, between rear wheels. • Make sure that the jack is raised at least 51 mm (2 inches) before it contacts the suspension arm boss. Use of the jack when it is within 51 mm (2 inches) of being fully collapsed may result in failure of the jack. • Never get under the vehicle when it is supported by the jack. • Never run the engine when the vehicle is supported by the jack and never allow passengers to remain in the vehicle. 9-2 EMERGENCY SERVICE Jump Starting Instructions • Never attempt to jump start your vehicle if the battery appears to be frozen. Batteries in this condition may explode or rupture if jump starting is attempted. • When making jump lead connections, be certain that your hands and the jump leads remain clear from pulleys, belts, or fans. • Batteries produce flammable hydrogen gas. Keep flames and sparks away from the battery or an explosion may occur. Never smoke when working in the vicinity of the battery. • If the booster battery you use for jump starting is installed in another vehicle, make sure the two vehicles are not touching each other. • If your battery discharges repeatedly, for no apparent reason, have your vehicle inspected by an authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. • To avoid harm to yourself or damage to your vehicle or battery, follow the jump starting instructions below precisely and in order. If you are in doubt, call for qualified road service. 9-3 CAUTION Your vehicle should not be started by pushing or towing. This starting method could result in permanent damage to the catalytic converter and high pressure fuel pump (diesel). Use jump leads to start a vehicle with a weak or flat battery. When Jump Starting Your Vehicle, Use the Following Procedure: 1) Use only a 12 volt battery to jump start your vehicle. Position the good 12 V battery close to your vehicle so that the jump leads will reach both batteries. When using a batter y installed on another vehicle, DO NOT LET THE VEHICLES TOUCH. Apply the parking brakes fully on both vehicles. 2) Turn off all vehicle accessories, except those necessary for safety reasons (for example, headlights or hazard lights). 77J039 3 Make jump lead connections as follows: 1. Connect one end of the first jump lead to the positive (+) terminal of the flat battery (1). 2. Connect the other end to the positive (+) terminal of the booster battery (2). 3. Connect one end of the second jump lead to the negative (–) terminal of the booster battery (2). 4. Make the final connection to an unpainted, heavy metal part (i.e. engine hook (3)) of the engine of the vehicle with the flat battery (1). 160 EMERGENCY SERVICE Towing CAUTION Never connect the jump lead directly to the negative (–) terminal of the discharged battery, or an explosion may occur. If you need to have your vehicle towed, contact a professional service. Your dealer can provide you with detailed towing instructions. 4) If the booster battery you are using is fitted to another vehicle, start the engine of the vehicle with the booster battery. Run the engine at moderate speed. CAUTION 5) Start the engine of the vehicle with the flat battery. 6) Remove the jump leads in the exact reverse order in which you connected them. 161 The steering column is not strong enough to withstand shocks transmitted from the front wheels during towing. Always unlock the steering wheel before towing. To help avoid damage to your vehicle during towing, proper equipment and towing procedures must be used. Manual transmission 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, make sure 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, make sure that transmission is in neutral, the steering wheel is unlocked (the ignition key should be in the “ACC” position), and the steering wheel is secured with a clamping device designed for towing service. 9-4 EMERGENCY SERVICE If the Starter Does Not Operate 1) Try turning the ignition switch to the “START” position 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 authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. If the Engine is Flooded If the Engine Overheats If the engine is flooded with petrol, 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. (Do not operate the starter motor for more than 15 seconds). The engine could overheat temporarily under severe driving conditions. If the engine coolant temperature gauge indicates overheating during driving: 1) Turn off the air conditioner, if equipped. 2) Take the vehicle to a safe place and park. 3) Let the engine run at the normal idle speed for a few minutes until the indicator is within the normal, acceptable temperature range between “H” and “C”. If you see or hear escaping steam, stop the vehicle in a safe place and immediately turn off the engine to let it cool. Do not open the bonnet when steam is present. When the steam can no longer be seen or heard, open the hood to see if the coolant is still boiling. If it is, you must wait until it stops boiling before you proceed. If the temperature indication does not come down to within the nor mal, acceptable range: 1) Turn off the engine and check that the water pump belt and pulleys are not 9-5 162 EMERGENCY SERVICE damaged or slipping. If any abnormality is found, correct it. 2) Check the coolant level in the reservoir. If it is found to be lower than the “LOW” line, look for leaks at the radiator, water pump, and radiator and heater hoses. If you locate any leaks that may have caused the overheating, do not run the engine until these problems have been corrected. 3) If you do not find a leak, carefully add coolant to the reservoir and then the radiator, if necessary. (Refer to “Engine Coolant” in the “INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE” section.) 163 Petrol Engine 65D350 Diesel Engine • It is hazardous to remove the radiator cap when the water temperature is high, because scalding fluid and steam may be blown out under pressure. 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. 9-6 164 BODY WORK CARE BODY WORK CARE Corrosion Prevention ......................................................... 10-1 Vehicle Cleaning ................................................................. 10-2 165 BODY WORK CARE Corrosion Prevention It is important to take good care of your vehicle to protect it from corrosion. Listed below are instructions for how to maintain your vehicle to prevent corrosion. Please read and follow these instructions carefully. Important Information About Corrosion Common causes of corrosion 1) Accumulation of road salt, dirt, moisture, or chemicals in hard to reach areas of the vehicle underbody or frame. 2) Chipping, scratches and any damage to treated or painted metal surfaces resulting from minor accidents or abrasion by stones and gravel. Environmental conditions which accelerate corrosion 1) Road salt, dust control chemicals, sea air or industr ial pollution will all accelerate the corrosion of metal. 2) High humidity will increase the rate of corrosion par ticularly 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. 10-1 4) High temperatures will cause an accelerated rate of corrosion to parts of the vehicle which are not well ventilated to permit quick drying. This information illustrates the necessity of keeping your vehicle (particularly the underbody) as clean and dry as possible. It is equally important to repair any damage to the paint or protective coatings as soon as possible. How to Help Prevent Corrosion Wash your vehicle frequently The best way to preserve the finish on your vehicle and to help avoid corrosion is to keep it clean with frequent washing. Wash your vehicle at least once during the winter and once immediately after the winter. Keep your vehicle, particularly the underside, as clean and dry as possible. If you frequently drive on salted roads, your vehicle should be washed at least once a month during the winter. If you live near the ocean, your vehicle should be washed at least once a month throughout the year. For washing instructions, refer to the “Vehicle Cleaning” section. Remove foreign material deposits Foreign material such as salts, chemicals, road oil or tar, tree sap, bird droppings and industrial fall-out may damage the finish of your vehicle if it is left on painted surfaces. Remove these types of deposits as quickly as possible. If these deposits are difficult to wash off, an additional cleaner may be required. Be sure that any cleaner you use is not harmful to painted surfaces and is specifically intended for your purposes. Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using these special cleaners. Repair finish damage Carefully examine your vehicle for damage to the painted surfaces. 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 off road or in wet weather. Cer tain cargos such as chemicals, fertilizers, cleaners, salts, etc. are extremely corrosive by nature. These products should be transported in sealed containers. If a spill or leak does occur, clean and dry the area immediately. 166 BODY WORK CARE Store your vehicle in a dry, well-ventilated area Do not park your vehicle in a damp, poorly ventilated area. If you often wash your vehicle in the garage or if you frequently drive it in when wet, your garage may be damp. The high humidity in the garage may cause or accelerate corrosion. A wet vehicle may corrode even in a heated garage if the ventilation is poor. Do not apply additional undercoating or rust preventive coating on or around exhaust system components such as the catalytic converter, exhaust pipes, etc. A fire could be star ted if the undercoating substance becomes overheated. Cleaning the Interior Vehicle Cleaning 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. 76G044S When cleaning the interior or exterior of the vehicle, NEVER USE flammable solvents such as lacquer thinners, petrol, benzene or cleaning materials such as bleaches or strong household detergents. The materials could cause personal injury or damage to the vehicle. 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. 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. 167 10-2 BODY WORK CARE 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. When washing the vehicle, park it 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. Washing CAUTION Cleaning the Exterior 60B212S CAUTION 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. 10-3 • 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, you should 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 make sure they have maintained their normal effectiveness. • 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. CAUTION To avoid damage to the paint or plastic surface, do not wipe the dirt off without ample water. Be sure to follow above procedure. 168 BODY WORK CARE 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. CAUTION CAUTION Waxing If you use an automatic car wash, make sure that your vehicle’s body parts, such as spoilers, can not be damaged. If you are in doubt, consult the car wash operator for advice. When using a commercial car wash product, observe the cautions specified by the manufacturer. Never use strong household detergents or soaps. 4) Once the dirt has been completely removed, rinse off the detergent with running water. 5) After rinsing, 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. 169 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. 10-4 170 GENERAL INFORMATION GENERAL INFORMATION Vehicle Identification .......................................................... 11-1 171 GENERAL INFORMATION The chassis and/or engine serial numbers are used to register the vehicle.
