FUEL RECOMMENDATION
Fuel Recommendation ........................................................ 1-1

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

|WARNING
| |---| |(Continued)
• Seat belts should never be worn with the straps twisted and should be adjusted as tightly as is comfortable to provide the protection for which they have been designed. A slack belt will provide less protection than 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)|
|WARNING
| |---| |(Continued)
• Pregnant women should use seat belts, although specific recommendations about driving should be made by the woman’s medical advisor. Remember that the lap portion of the belt should be worn as low as possible across the hips, as shown in the 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)|
|WARNING
| |---| |(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)|
|WARNING
| |---| |(Continued)
• For children, if the shoulder belt irritates the neck or face, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle.
• Avoid contamination of seat belt webbing by polishes, oils, chemicals, and particularly battery acid. Cleaning may safely be carried out using mild soap and water.
• Do not insert any items such as coins, clips, etc. into the seat belt buckles, and be careful not to spill liquids into these parts. If foreign materials get into a seat belt buckle, the seat belt may not work properly.

MARUTI SUZUKI highly recommends that you use a child restraint system to restrain infants and small children. Many different
types of child restraint systems are available; make sure that the restraint system you select meets applicable safety standards.
All child restraint systems are designed to be secured on vehicle seats by either seat belts (lap belts or the lap portion of lapshoulder belts). 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.

|and/or
Label
EXAMPLE| |---|
67LM2008
|WARNING
| |---| |This section of the owner’s manual describes your Vehicle’s SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER SYSTEM. Please read and follow ALL these instructions carefully to minimize your risk of severe injury or death.|
To determine if your vehicle is equipped with a seat belt pretensioner system at the front seating positions, check the label on the front seat belt at the bottom part. If the letters “p” and/or “PRE” appear as illustrated, your vehicle is equipped with the seat belt pretensioner system. You can use the pretensioner seat belts in the same manner as ordinary seat belts. Read this section and the “Supplemental Restraint System (air bags)” section to learn more about the pretensioner system.
The seat belt pretensioner system works with the SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (Air Bags). The crash sensors and the electronic controller of the air bag system also control the seat belt pretensioners. The pretensioners are activated in the event of a frontal crash which is severe enough to trigger the air bags.
For precautions and general information including servicing the pretensioner system, refer to the “Supplemental Restraint System (air bags)” section in addition to this “Seat Belt Pretensioner System” section, and follow all those precautions.
The pretensioner is located in each front seat belt retractor. The pretensioner tightens the seat belt so the belt fits the occupant’s body more snugly in the event of a frontal crash. The retractors will remain locked after the pretensioners are activated. Upon activation, some noise will occur and
some smoke may be released. These conditions are not harmful and do not indicate a fire in the vehicle.
The driver and all passengers must be properly restrained by wearing seat belts at all times, whether or not a pretensioner is equipped at their seating position, to minimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash.
Sit fully back in the seat; sit up straight; do not lean forward or sideways. Adjust the belt so the lap portion of the belt is worn low across the pelvis, not across the waist. Please refer to the “Seat Adjustment” section and the instructions and precautions about the seat belts in this “Seat Belts and Child Restraint Systems” section for details on proper seat and seat belt adjustments.
Please note that the pretensioners along with the air bags will activate in severe frontal collisions. They are not designed to activate in rear impacts, side impacts, rollovers, or minor frontal collisions. The pretensioners can be activated only once. If the pretensioners are activated (that is, if the air bags are activated), have the pretensioner system serviced by an authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop as soon as possible. If the “AIR BAG” light on the instrument cluster does not blink or come on briefly when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position stays on for more than 10 seconds, or comes on while driving, the
pretensioner system or the air bag system may not work properly. Have both systems inspected by an authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop as soon as possible.
Service on or around the pretensioner system components or wiring must be performed only by an authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop who is specially trained. Improper service could result in unintended activation of pretensioners or could render the pretensioner inoperative. Either of these two conditions may result in personal injury.
To prevent damage or unintended activation of the pretensioners, be sure the battery is disconnected and the ignition switch has been in the “LOCK” position for at least 90 seconds before performing any electrical service work on your vehicle.
Do not touch pretensioner system components or wiring. The wires are wrapped with yellow tape or yellow tubing, and the couplers are yellow. When scrapping your Vehicle, ask your authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop body repair shop, or scrap yard for assistance.

Front air bags are not designed to inflate in rear impacts, side impacts, rollovers or minor frontal collisions, since they would offer no protection in those types of accidents. Remember, since an air bag deploys only one time during an accident, seat belts are needed to restrain occupants from further movements during the accident.
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.
|WARNING
| |---| |An air bag supplements, or adds to, the crash protection offered by seat belts. The driver and all passengers must be properly restrained by 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.|

|WARNING
| |---| |Do not install a rear-facing child restraint in the front passenger’s seat. If the passenger’s front air bag inflates, a child in a rear-facing child restraint could be killed or severely injured. The back of a rear-facing child restraint would be too close to the inflating air bag.|
Please refer to “Seat Belts and Child Restraint Systems” in this section for details on securing your child.

| |---| |NEVER use a rearward facing child restraint on a seat protected by an ACTIVE AIRBAG in front of it, DEATH or SERIOUS INJURY to the CHILD can occur.|
|WARNING
| |---| |If the AIR BAG light in the instrument cluster ever comes on and stays on, it means that something may be wrong with the air bag system. If this ever happens, have the vehicle serviced immediately, because the air bags may not offer the protection for which they were designed.|
######## How the system works
In a frontal collision, the crash sensors will detect rapid deceleration, and if the controller judges that the deceleration represents a severe frontal crash, the controller will trigger the inflators. The inflators inflate the air bags with nitrogen or argon gas. The inflated air bags provide a cushion for your head and upper body. The air bag inflates and deflates so quickly that you may not even realize that it has activated. The air bag will neither hinder your view nor make it harder to exit the vehicle.
Air bags must inflate quickly and forcefully in order to reduce the chance of serious or
fatal injuries. However, an unavoidable consequence of the quick inflation is that the air bag may irritate bare skin, such as the facial area. Also, upon inflation, a loud noise will occur and some powder and smoke will be released. These conditions are not harmful and do not indicate a fire in the vehicle. Be aware, however, that some air bag components may be hot for a while after inflation.
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. Please refer to the “Front Seat” section and the “Seat Belts and Child Restraint Systems” section in this section for details on proper seat and seat belt adjustments.
|| |---|
65D610
|WARNING
| |---| |• The driver should not lean over the steering wheel. In these situations, the out-of-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. Do not place any objects between the air bag and the driver. These objects may interfere with air bag operation or may be propelled by the air bag in the event of a crash. Either of these conditions may cause severe injury.
|
Note that even though your vehicle may be moderately damaged in a frontal collision, the collision may not have been severe enough to trigger the air bags to inflate. If your car sustains ANY front-end damage, have the air bag system inspected by an MARUTI SUZUKI authorised workshop to ensure it is in proper working order.
Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnostic module which records information about the air bag system if the air bags deploy in a crash. The module records information about overall system status, which sensors activated the deployment, and for a certain vehicle only, whether the driver’s seat belt was in use.
######## Servicing the air bag system
If the air bags inflate, have the air bags and related components replaced by an 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 authorised workshop as soon as possible.
Special procedures are required for servicing or replacing an air bag. For that reason, only an MARUTI SUZUKI authorised workshop should be allowed to service or replace your air bags. Please remind anyone who services your MARUTI SUZUKI that it has air bags.
Service on or around air bag components or wiring must be performed only by an MARUTI SUZUKI authorised workshop. Improper service could result in unintended air bag deployment or could render the air bag inoperative. Either of these two conditions may result in severe injury.
To prevent damage or unintended inflation of the air bag system, be sure the battery is disconnected and the ignition switch has been in the “LOCK” position for at least 90 seconds before performing 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.

Exhaust Gas Warning
| | |---|
52D334
|WARNING
| |---| |Avoid breathing exhaust gases. Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a potentially lethal gas that is colorless and odorless. Since carbon monoxide is difficult to detect by itself, be sure to take the following precautions to help prevent carbon monoxide from entering your vehicle. • Do not leave the engine running in
garages or other confined areas.
(Continued)|
|WARNING
| |---| |(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 tailgate or trunk open. If it is necessary to operate the vehicle with the tailgate or trunk open, make sure the sunroof (if equipped) and all windows are closed, and the blower is at high speed with the air intake selector set to “FRESH AIR”.
• To allow proper operation of your vehicle’s ventilation system, keep the air inlet grille in front of the windshield clear of snow, leaves, or other obstructions at all times.
• Keep the exhaust tailpipe area clear of snow and other material to help reduce the buildup of exhaust gases under the vehicle. This is particularly important when parked in blizzard conditions.
• Have the exhaust system inspected periodically for damage and leaks. Any damage or leaks should be repaired immediately.

Daily Inspection Checklist Before Driving
|| |---|
60A187S
Refer to “Tires” in “INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE” section for details.
NOTE: It is normal for water to drip from the air conditioning system after use.
Once a week, or each time you fill your fuel tank, perform the following under-hood checks:
latches, hinges & locks” of “CHASSIS AND BODY” in the “Periodic Maintenance Schedule” in the “INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE” section for lubrication schedule.
|WARNING
| |---| |Make sure the hood is fully closed and latched before driving. If it is not, it can fly up unexpectedly during driving, obstructing your view and resulting in an accident.|
Once a month, or each time you fill your fuel tank, check the tire pressure using a tire pressure gauge. Also check the tire pressure of the spare tire.
Engine Oil Consumption
It is normal for the engine to consume some engine oil during normal vehicle operation.
The amount of engine oil consumed depends on the viscosity of the oil, the quality of the oil and the conditions the vehicle is driven under. More oil is consumed during high-speed driving and when there is frequent acceleration and deceleration. Under high loads, your engine also will consume more oil. A new engine also consumes more oil, since its pistons, piston rings and cylinder walls have not yet become conditioned. New engines reach the normal level of oil
consumption only after approximately 5000 km driving.
Oil consumption: Max. 1.0 L per 1000km
When judging the amount of oil consumption, note that the oil may become diluted and make it difficult to accurately judge the true oil level. As an example, if a vehicle is used for repeated short trips, and consumes a normal amount of oil, the dipstick may not show any drop in the oil level at all, even after 1000 km or more of driving. This is because the oil is gradually becoming diluted with fuel or moisture, making it appear that the oil level has not changed. You should also be aware that the diluting ingredients evaporate out when the vehicle is subsequently driven at high speeds, such as on an expressway, making it appear that oil is excessively consumed after high-speed driving.
Ignition Switch
|| |---|
65D611
|WARNING
| |---| |To avoid possible injury, do not operate controls by reaching through the steering wheel.|
|EXAMPLE| |---|
52KM052

All forward gears are synchronized, which provides for quiet, and easy shifting. Always push in the clutch pedal fully before shifting gears.
Upshifting maximum allowable speeds
|Upshifting|Km/h| |---|---| |1st to 2nd|40| |2nd to 3rd|75| |3rd to 4th|115| |4th to 5th|155|
Downshifting maximum allowable speeds
To avoid shock loads on the driveline, the downshifing speed should not exceed the following.
|Downshifting|Km/h| |---|---| |2nd to 1st|10| |3rd to 2nd|37| |4th to 3rd|55| |5th to 4th|OK at all|
*NOTE: You may not accelerate to the maximum allowable speed because of the driving situation and/or the vehicle condition.
|NOTICE| |---|
|When downshifting to a lower gear, make sure not to downshift at the speed faster than the maximum allowable speeds, or severe engine damage can result.|
EXAMPLE
67LH050
Keep the engine speed so it does not get into the red zone of tachometer.
|WARNING
| |---| |• Reduce your speed and downshift to a lower gear before going down a long or steep hill. A lower gear will allow the engine to provide braking. Avoid riding the brakes or they may overheat, resulting in brake failure.
• When driving on slippery roads, be sure to slow down before downshifting. 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 shift into reverse.
|
CAUTION
####### Auto Gear Shift
Auto Gear Shift is a 5-speed forward/ reverse transaxle. Auto Gear Shift has the basic features of conventional manual transaxle, but clutch operation and transaxle gear shifting are controlled electronically.
|NOTICE| |---| |Do not depress both the brake pedal and accelerator pedal simultaneously. This can cause damage or overheating to the clutch.|
NOTE: When you open the driver’s door, the Auto Gear Shift systems run automatically and you may hear an operating noise. This sound does not indicate a malfunction.
The features are as follows:

######## 67LM3003 Depress brake pedal indicator
| | |---|
76MH0A047
This light will come on if you do not depress the brake pedal in the following situations.
This light will also come on if one of the gears cannot be engaged and the system is unable to re-try shifting when you shift the gearshift lever from “N” position to “D”, “M” or “R” position.
######## Starting the engine
When starting the engine, always place the gearshift lever in the “N” position and depress the brake pedal firmly. The engine cannot be started unless the gearshift lever is in the “N” position and the brake pedal is depressed. If you parked vehicle with gear engaged on last time (if you can see “1” or “R”), shift into “N” (Neutral) and depress the brake pedal. Hold the brake pedal while starting the engine. You can hear buzzer in short time.
| | |---|
76MH0A056 Clutch operation
You can select either the Drive (D) mode or the Manual (M) mode. Since this vehicle controls clutch operation electronically in either mode, you do not need to operate the clutch.
######## Creeping function
This vehicle has a creeping function that helps the vehicle to start smoothly by engaging the clutch. When the gearshift lever is in any of the positions “D”, “M” or “R”, and you release your foot from the brake pedal, the vehicle starts slowly without depressing the accelerator pedal. The creeping function is disabled if you depress
the brake pedal or pull up the parking brake lever.Creep is not possible in manual mode with 2nd gear engaged.
NOTE: If the driver’s door is opened and/or the parking brake lever is engaged with the gear in the “M”, “D” or “R” position, the creeping function will not operate.
######## Parking and Stopping the vehicle
Auto Gear Shift does not have a parking position. Park the vehicle with a gear engaged. Make sure that the gearshift lever is “D”, “M”, or “R”. Also, check the instrument cluster to make sure that the transaxle is engaged in “1” or “R” position.
|NOTICE| |---| |A buzzer will sound continuously if the vehicle is operated with the gearshift lever in-between of each shift positions. The vehicle will become inoperative if you continue to operate the vehicle with the gearshift lever inbetween shift positions.|
######## Drive (D) mode
When the Drive (D) mode is activated, the most appropriate gear position is automatically selected upon operation of the accelerator pedal and variation of vehicle speed.
######## Normal driving:
| | |---|
76MH0A057
NOTE: If 1st gear cannot be engaged even though the gearshift lever has been shifted from the “N” to the “D” position, the system will re-try shifting automatically. This will take some time, noise may be heard from the gears, and shifting gear shock may occur. However, they do not indicate a malfunction.
• The “N” indicator will flash, the depress brake pedal indicator will come on and a warning buzzer (long pulse sound) will sound if any of the following cases occur;
You should depress the brake pedal and shift the gearshift lever to “N” position, then shift to “D” again.
|WARNING
| |---| |• While driving the vehicle, do not shift the gearshift lever to the “N” position. The engine brake may not work and you may get involved in an unexpected accident. If you return the gearshift lever from “N” to “D” because of unintended shifting, the gear position will be shifted according to the current vehicle speed.
• Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the engine running. This operation prevents the vehicle from moving due to unintended activation of the creeping function.
|
|NOTICE| |---| |If the gearshift lever cannot shift into any position, or the gear is changed to “N” position automatically when the vehicle speed becomes less than 10 km/h there may be a systematic malfunction. In this case, ask your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer to inspect the Auto Gear Shift system as soon as possible.|
|NOTICE| |---| |Do not operate the system as described below. The life cycle of the clutch may be reduced.
• Using the accelerator pedal to hold the vehicle on an uphill slope with the gearshift lever in the “D” or “M” position. If you perform this operation for a certain period of time, a warning buzzer will sound.
• Shifting the gearshift lever to the “D”, “M” or “R” position while racing the engine.
• Driving at low speed using a high gear.
• Holding the vehicle on an uphill slope using the creeping function. If you perform this operation for a certain period of time, a warning buzzer will sound.
|
######## Starting off on an uphill/downhill: Uphill
|NOTICE| |---| |On an uphill slope, never hold the vehicle at a stop using only the accelerator pedal or the creeping function. If you perform this operation for a certain period of time, a warning buzzer will sound, and in some cases the engine will stall. This can also cause excessive damage to the clutch.|
######## Downhill
Using engine braking: When driving on a downhill slope, downshifting is recommended. So you can use engine braking. By placing the gearshift lever in the “M” position, the Manual (M) mode is selected, and you can shift to a lower gear manually. For details of downshift operation, refer to “Upshift and downshift” in the “Manual (M) mode”.
######## Manual (M) mode
The gears are not shifted automatically. To shift the transaxle, the driver must operate the gearshift lever to the “+” or “–” direction. As for conventional manual transaxle vehicles, releasing the accelerator pedal a little may help the transaxle to shift smoothly.

The gear position is displayed on the gear position indicator. The gear position indicator shows the transaxle gear position. Before starting off, always check the gear position indicator to make sure that the transaxle is engaged in 1st or reverse, then depress the accelerator pedal. It is possible to start vehicle in 2nd gear using manual mode, from stop condition.
NOTE:
|WARNING
| |---| |• Be careful when accelerating, upshifting, downshifting or braking on a slippery surface. Sudden acceleration or engine braking could cause the vehicle to spin or skid.While starting off on a slippery or snowy roads, please use 2nd gear (if required).
• To drive down a long or steep hill, reduce your speed and downshift. Remember, if you ride the brakes excessively, they may overheat and fail.
• While driving the vehicle, do not shift the gearshift lever to “N” position. The engine brake may not work and you may get involved in an unexpected accident. If you return the gearshift lever from “N” to “M” because of unintended shifting, the gear position will be shifted according to the current vehicle speed.
• Do not apply the parking brake while driving. Otherwise, it could cause a skid and you may get involved in an unexpected accident.
|
|NOTICE| |---| |• If the gearshift lever cannot shift into any position, or the gear is changed to “N” position automatically when the vehicle speed becomes less than 10 km/h there may be a systematic malfunction. In this case, ask your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer to inspect the Auto Gear Shift system as soon as possible.
• The manual (M) mode does not upshift even if the engine speed reaches the rev-limit.
• The system will not allow shifting up or down to a gear that would cause engine over-revving or under-revving.
• If frequently driving at low speed using a high gear position, the life cycle of the clutch may be reduced.
• Frequent downshifting (more than 3 positions consecutively) causes the reduction of transaxle life.
|
######## Starting off:
NOTE:
######### 3) Release the parking brake and brake pedal. Depress the accelerator pedal slowly for smooth starting.
|WARNING
| |---| |Always keep your foot on the brake pedal or pull up the parking lever while stopping with the engine running. These operations prevent the vehicle from starting due to unintended activation of the creeping function.|
|NOTICE| |---| |Do not operate the system as described below. The life cycle of the clutch may be reduced.
• Using the accelerator pedal to hold the vehicle on an uphill slope operation with the gearshift lever in the “M” or “D” position. If you perform this operation for a certain period of time, a warning buzzer will sound.
• Shifting the gearshift lever to the “M”, “D” or “R” position while racing the engine.
• Driving at low speed using a high gear.
• Stopping on a slope using the creeping function. If you perform this operation for a certain period of time, a warning buzzer will sound.
|
Starting off on an uphill/downhill slope: Uphill
1) Apply the parking brake firmly so that the vehicle does not roll backwards. 2) Shift the gearshift lever to the “M” position while depressing the brake pedal. Make sure that the gear position indicator in the instrumental cluster displays 1st gear.
3) Release the brake pedal and depress the accelerator pedal gradually, and when the vehicle starts to move, release the parking brake and depress the accelerator pedal to start off.
|NOTICE| |---| |On an uphill slope, never hold the vehicle at a stop using only the accelerator pedal or creeping function. If you perform this operation for a certain period of time, a warning buzzer will sound, and in some cases the engine will stall. This can also cause excessive damage to the clutch. Incase the warning buzzer is on, shifting to 2nd gear will not be possible in manual mode. Always use 1st gear while starting off on an uphill slope, otherwise you may damage the clutch.|
######## Downhill
1) Depress the brake pedal and shift the gearshift lever to the “M” position.
Check the gear position indicator to make sure that the gear is in 1st.
2) Release the brake pedal and depress the accelerator pedal slowly. Even though the accelerator pedal is not depressed, the clutch will be engaged when the vehicle speed increases.
######## Backing up
After the vehicle has stopped completely, depress the brake pedal and shift the gearshift lever to the “R” position. Depress the accelerator pedal slowly as when starting off in 1st gear. Before backing up, make sure that reverse gear is selected by checking the gear position indicator.
| | |---|
76MH0A062 NOTE:
sound if any of the following cases occur;
You should depress the brake pedal and shift the gearshift lever to “N” position, then shift to “R” position again a few seconds later.
• The system will not allow shifting to the “R” position if the vehicle speed is over about 3 km/h (2 mph). If the gearshift lever is operated under this condition, the “N” indicator in the instrument cluster will blink. However, when the vehicle speed drops below about 3 km/h (2 mph), the gear will be shifted to reverse. Make sure that the vehicle has stopped completely before shifting to the “R” position.
|NOTICE| |---| |On a downhill slope, never hold the vehicle at a stop using only the accelerator pedal or the creeping function. If you perform this operation for a certain period of time, a warning buzzer will sound, and in some cases the engine will stall. This can also cause excessive damage to the clutch.|
######## Stopping
The vehicle can be stopped by depressing the brake pedal regardless of the gear position. This is because the clutch is automatically disengaged to prevent the engine from stopping.
|WARNING
| |---| |• When stopping, for example, at a traffic light, be sure to depress the brake pedal firmly. For your safety, apply the parking brake, too, when stopping on a hill.
• When racing the engine, make sure that the gear is in the “N” position by checking the gear position indicator. If the accelerator is operated with the gear in any other position, the vehicle may move resulting in an unexpected accident.
• Do not leave your vehicle unattended while the engine is running.
• When leaving the vehicle, stop the engine and park the vehicle with a gear engaged. If you need to leave the vehicle with the engine running, apply the parking brakes firmly, and shift the gearshift lever to the “N” position. Otherwise, the vehicle may move unexpectedly and may cause an accident.
|
|NOTICE| |---| |• On a slope, never hold the vehicle at a stop using only the accelerator pedal or the creeping function. If you perform this operation for a certain period of time, a warning buzzer will sound, and in some cases the engine will stall. This can also cause excessive damage to the clutch.
• If the gearshift lever is operated more than necessary, the system may not allow operation of the gearshift lever for a certain period of time, and the gear may not be shifted appropriately. Therefore, do not operate the gearshift lever if not necessary.
|
######## Parking
Unlike an automatic transaxle, Auto Gear Shift does not have a parking position. Park the vehicle with a gear engaged.
NOTE:
|WARNING
| |---| |• If the gear is not engaged properly and completely before the ignition switch is turned off, the vehicle may not be parked with the gear engaged. Always confirm the gear position by checking the gear position indicator when parking.
• On a downhill slope, the gear should be put in reverse, and in 1st gear on an uphill slope. Otherwise, the vehicle may move, and cause an unexpected accident. If the gear is left in the “N” position, the vehicle cannot be parked with a gear engaged.
|
######## Parking cancel
Depress the brake pedal, turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position, and shift the gearshift lever to the “N” position. The gear will be disengaged.
######## Warning functions
A warning buzzer will sound or the indicator will blink under the following conditions.
######## Warning buzzer
|NOTICE| |---| |In the above cases, pull over to the side of the road and stop the engine, and then ask your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer to inspect your vehicle. Otherwise, the clutch disc may be damaged.|
######## “N” indicator blinking
When the gear indicator lamp blinks “N”, you should depress the brake pedal and shift the gearshift lever to “N” position.
######## “1st” indicator blinking
When the gear indicator lamp blinks “1st”, you should depress the brake pedal and shift the gearshift lever to “N” position, then shift to “D” or “M” position again a few seconds later.
######## “R” indicator blinking
When the gear indicator lamp blinks “R”, you should depress the brake pedal and shift the gearshift lever to “N” position, then shift to “R” position again a few seconds later.
Braking
|
EXAMPLE| |---|
60G165S
The distance needed to bring any vehicle to a halt increases with the speed of the vehicle. The braking distance needed, for example, at 60 km/h will be approximately 4 times greater than the braking distance needed at 30 km/h. Start to brake the vehi-
cle when there is plenty of distance between your vehicle and the stopping point, and slow down gradually.
|WARNING
| |---| |If water gets into the brake drums, brake performance may become poor and unpredictable. After driving through water or washing the underside of the vehicle, test the brakes while driving at a slow speed to see if they have maintained their normal effectiveness. If the brakes are less effective than normal, dry them by repeatedly applying the brakes while driving slowly until the brakes have regained their normal effectiveness.|
####### Power-Assisted Brakes
Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes. If power assistance is lost due to a stalled engine or other failures, the system is still fully operational on reserve power and you can bring the vehicle to a complete stop by pressing the brake pedal once and holding it down. The reserve power is partly used up when you depress the brake pedal and reduces each time the pedal is pressed. Apply smooth and even pressure to the pedal. Do not pump the pedal.
|WARNING
| |---| |Even without reserve power in the brake system, you can still stop the vehicle by pressing the brake pedal harder than normally required. However, the stopping distance may be longer.|
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) (if equipped) ABS will help you avoid skidding by electronically controlling braking pressure. It will also help you maintain steering control when braking on slippery surfaces or when braking hard. The ABS works automatically, so you do not need any special braking technique. Just push the brake pedal down without pumping. The ABS will operate whenever it senses that the wheels are locking up. You may feel the brake pedal moves a little while the ABS is operating.
NOTE: The ABS will not work if vehicle speed is under about 10 km/h.
|WARNING
| |---| |• On some types of loose surfaces (such as gravel, snow-covered roads, etc.) the stopping distance required for an ABS-equipped vehicle may be slightly greater than for a comparable vehicle with a conventional brake system. With a conventional brake system, skidding tires are able to “plow” the gravel or snow layer, shortening the stopping distance, ABS minimizes this resistance effect. Allow for extra stopping distance when driving on loose surfaces.
• On regular paved roads, some drivers may be able to obtain slightly shorter stopping distances with conventional brake systems than with ABS.
• 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.
|
|(1) (2)
| |---|
52KM059
|WARNING
| |---| |• If the ABS warning light (1) on the instrument panel comes on and stays on while driving, there may be a problem with the ABS system. Ask your 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.
(Continued)|
|WARNING
| |---|
|(Continued)
• If the ABS warning light (1) and the Brake system warning light (2) on the instrument panel simultaneously stays on or comes on when driving, both anti-lock function and rear brake force control function (proportioning valve function) of the ABS system may have failed. If so, the rear wheels may easily skid or the vehicle can even spin in the worst case when braking on a slippery road or when hard braking even on a dry paved road. Ask your 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.
|WARNING
| |---| |The ABS may not work properly if tires or wheels other than those specified in the owner’s manual are used. This is because the ABS works by comparing changes in wheel speed. When replacing tires or wheels, use only the size and type specified in this owner’s manual.|

|WARNING
| |---| |• WEAR YOUR SEAT BELTS AT ALL TIMES. Even though air bags are equipped at the front seating positions, the driver and all passengers should be properly restrained at all times, using the seat belts provided. Refer to the “Seat Belts and Child Restraint Systems” section for instructions on proper use of the seat belts.
• Never drive while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. Alcohol and drugs can seriously impair your ability to drive safely, greatly increasing the risk of injury to yourself and others. You should also avoid driving when you are tired, sick, irritated, or under stress.
|
Running-in Catalytic Converter
|NOTICE| |---| |The future performance and reliability of the engine depends on the care and restraint exercised during its early life. It is especially important to observe the following precautions during the initial 960 km of vehicle operation.
• After starting, do not race the engine. Warm it up gradually.
• Avoid prolonged vehicle operation at a constant speed. Moving parts will break in better if you vary your speed.
• Start off from a stop slowly. Avoid full throttle starts.
• Avoid hard braking, especially during the first 320 km of driving.
• Do not drive slowly with the transaxle in a high gear.
• Drive the vehicle at moderate engine speeds.
• Do not tow a trailer.
|
|EXAMPLE| |---|
############## 80G106
The purpose of the catalytic converter is to minimize the amount of harmful pollutants in your vehicle’s exhaust. Use of leaded fuel in vehicles equipped with catalytic converters is prohibited, because lead deactivates the pollutant-reducing components of the catalyst system.
The converter is designed to last the life of the vehicle under normal usage and when unleaded fuel is used. No special maintenance is required on the converter. However, it is very important to keep the engine properly tuned. Engine misfiring, which can result from an improperly tuned engine, may cause overheating of the catalyst. This may result in permanent heat damage to the catalyst and other vehicle components.
|NOTICE| |---| |To minimize the possibility of catalyst or other vehicle damage:
• Maintain the engine in the proper operating condition.
• In the event of an engine malfunction, particularly one involving engine misfire or other apparent loss of performance, have the vehicle serviced promptly.
• Do not turn off the engine or interrupt the ignition when the transaxle is in gear and the vehicle is in motion.
• Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the vehicle, or coasting down a hill.
• Do not idle the engine with any spark plug wires disconnected or removed, such as during diagnostic testing.
• Do not idle the vehicle for prolonged periods if idling seems rough or there are other malfunctions.
• Do not allow the fuel tank to get near the empty level.
• Avoid driving your vehicle at excessively high engine speeds, in or around the red zone of the tachometer (if equipped).
|
|
EXAMPLE| |---|
54G584S
|WARNING
| |---| |Be careful where you park and drive; the catalytic converter and other exhaust components can get very hot. As with any vehicle, do not park or operate this vehicle in areas where combustible materials such as dry grass or leaves can come in contact with a hot exhaust system.|
Improving Fuel Economy The following instructions will help you improve fuel economy. Avoid excessive idling If you are to wait for more than a minute while you are parked, stop the engine and start it again later. When warming up a cold engine, do not allow the engine to idle or apply full throttle until the engine has reached operating temperature. Allow the engine to warm up by driving. Avoid sudden acceleration
Sudden acceleration starting from rest or while driving will consume fuel unnecessarily and shorten engine life. Start off slowly.
######## Avoid unnecessary stops
Avoid unnecessary deceleration and stopping. Try to maintain a slow, steady speed whenever possible. Slowing down and then accelerating again uses more fuel.
Keep a steady cruising speed Keep as constant a speed as road and traffic conditions will permit.
######## Keep the air cleaner clean
|
EXAMPLE| |---|
60A183S
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there will be greater intake resistance, resulting in decreased power output and increased fuel consumption.
######## Keep weight to a minimum
Heavier the load, more fuel the vehicle consumes. Take out any luggage or cargo when it is not necessary.
######## Keep tire pressures correct
Underinflation of the tires can waste fuel due to increased running resistance of the tires. Keep your tires inflated to the correct pressure shown on the label on the driver’s door lock pillar.
Highway Driving When driving at high speeds, pay attention to the following:
Driving on Hills
|EXAMPLE| |---|
67LH051
|WARNING
| |---| |Try not to hold the brake pedal down too long or too often while going down a steep or long hill. This could cause the brakes to overheat, resulting in reduced braking efficiency. Failure to take this precaution could result in loss of vehicle control.|
####### While moving uphill/gradient from a stand still condition
|NOTICE| |---| |When descending down a hill, NEVER turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” position. Emission control system damage may result.|
Driving on Slippery Roads
|
EXAMPLE| |---|
60G089S
Under wet road conditions you should drive at a lower speed than on dry roads due to possible slippage of tires during braking. When driving on icy, snow-covered, or muddy roads, reduce your speed and avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt braking, or sharp steering movements.
####### Tire Chains
Tire chains should only be used if they are needed to increase traction or are required by law. Make sure that the chains you use are the correct size for your vehicle’s tires. Also make sure that there is enough clearance between the fenders and the chains as installed on the tires.
Install the chains on the front tires tightly, according to the chain manufacturer’s instructions. Retighten the chains after driving about 1.0 km if necessary. With the chains installed, drive slowly.
|NOTICE| |---| |• If you hear the chains hitting against the vehicle body while driving, stop and tighten them.
• If your vehicle is equipped with full wheel caps, remove the wheel caps before installing the chains or the wheel caps can be damaged by the chain bands.
|
If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck If your vehicle gets stuck in snow, mud, or sand, follow the directions below:
|WARNING
| |---| |Do not allow anyone to stand near the vehicle when you are rocking it, and do not spin the wheels faster than an indicated 40 km/h on the speedometer. Personal injury and/or vehicle damage may result from spinning the wheels too fast.|
|NOTICE| |---| |Do not continue rocking the vehicle for more than a few minutes. Prolonged rocking can cause engine overheating or transaxle damage.|
Driving on Wet Roads
|NOTICE| |---| |• When driving on wet roads, avoid driving through large amount of standing water on the road. Large amount of water entering the engine compartment may cause damage to the engine and or electrical components.
• If stuck in deep water, do not start the engine.
• Water is incompressible substance, water inside engine is harmful to the engine.
|
|WARNING
| |---| |In addition to following the driving tips in this section, it is important to observe the following precautions.
• Make sure your tires are in good condition and always maintain the specified tire pressure. Refer to “Tires” in the “INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE” section for details.
• Do not use tires other than those specified by MARUTI SUZUKI. Never use different sizes or types of tires on the front and rear wheels. For information regarding the specified tires, refer to the Tire Information Label located on the driver’s door lock pillar.
• Never use oversized tires or special shock absorbers and springs to raise (jack up) your vehicle. This will change the handling characteristics. Oversized tires may also rub against the vehicle body over bumps, causing vehicle damage or tire failure.
• After driving through water, test the brakes while driving at a slow speed to see if they have maintained their normal effectiveness. If they are less effective than normal, dry them by repeatedly applying the brakes while driving slowly until the brakes have regained their normal effectiveness.

######## Air intake selector (4)
|(g) (f)
| |---|
68KH050
This selector is used to select the following modes.
Fresh Air (f) When this mode is selected by moving the lever to right, outside air is used.
######## Recirculated Air (g)
When this mode is selected by moving the lever to left, outside air is shut out and inside air is recirculated. This mode is suitable when driving through dusty or polluted air such as in a tunnel, or when attempting to quickly cool down the interior.
NOTE: If you select “RECIRCULATED AIR” for an extended period of time, the air in the vehicle can become contaminated. Therefore, you should occasionally select “FRESH AIR”.
######## Air conditioning switch (5)
To turn on the air conditioning system, set the blower speed selector to a position other than “OFF” and push in the “A/C” switch. With this “A/C” switch operation, a indicator light will come on when the airconditioning system is on. To turn off the air conditioning system, push the “A/C” switch again.
During operation of the air conditioner, you may notice slight changes in engine speed. These changes are normal, the system is designed so that the compressor turns on or off to maintain the desired temperature.
Less operation of the compressor results in better fuel economy.
####### System Operating Instructions Natural ventilation
Select “VENTILATION” and “FRESH AIR”, the temperature selector to the desired temperature position, and the blower speed selector to “OFF”. Fresh air will flow through the vehicle during driving.
######## Forced ventilation
The control settings are the same as for natural ventilation except you set the blower speed selector to a position other than “OFF”.
######## Normal heating (using outside air)
Select “HEAT” and “FRESH AIR”, the temperature selector to the desired temperature position and the blower speed selector to the desired blower speed position. Setting the blower speed selector to a higher blower speed position increases heating efficiency.
######## Quick heating (using recirculated air)
The control settings are the same as for normal heating except you select “RECIRCULATED AIR”. If you use this heating method for an extended period of time, the air in the vehicle can become contaminated and the windows can become misty. Therefore, use this method only for quick heating and change to the normal heating method as soon as possible.
######## Head cooled/Feet warmed heating
Select “BI-LEVEL” and “FRESH AIR”, the temperature selector to the desired temperature position, and the blower speed selector to the desired blower speed position. Unless the temperature selector is in the fully COLD position or fully HOT position, the air that comes out of the center and side outlets will be cooler than the air that comes out of the floor outlets.
######## Normal cooling
Set the air flow selector to “VENTILATION”, the temperature selector to the desired temperature position and the blower speed selector to the desired blower speed position, and turn on the “A/C” switch. Setting the blower speed selector to a higher blower speed position increases cooling efficiency.
You can switch the air intake selector to either “FRESH AIR” or “RECIRCULATED AIR” as you desire. Choosing “RECIRCULATED AIR” increases cooling efficiency.
Quick cooling (using recirculated air) The control settings are the same as for normal cooling except you select “RECIRCULATED AIR” and the highest blower speed. NOTE: • To turn on the air conditioning system,
push in the “A/C” switch and set the blower speed selector to a position other than “OFF”. With this “A/C” switch operation, an indicator light will come on when
the air conditioning system is on. To turn off the air conditioning system, push the “A/C” switch again.
• During operation of the air conditioner, you may notice slight changes in engine speed. These changes are normal, the system is designed so that the compressor turns on or off to maintain the desired temperature. Less operation of the compressor results in better fuel economy.
NOTE:
######## Dehumidifying
Set the air flow selector to a desired air flow selector position, the temperature selector to the desired temperature position and the blower speed selector to the desired blower speed position. Also select “FRESH AIR” and turn on the “A/C” switch.
NOTE: Because the air conditioner dehumidifies the air, turning it on will help keep the windows clear, even when blowing heated air using the “DEFROST” or “HEAT & DEFROST” functions.
|EXAMPLE| |---|
67LH058
NOTE: If you need maximum defrosting:
####### Maintenance
If you do not use the air conditioner for a long period, such as during winter, it may not give the best performance when you start using it again. To help maintain optimum performance and durability of your air conditioner, it needs to be run periodically. Operate the air conditioner at least once a month for one minute with the engine idling. This circulates the refrigerant and oil and helps protect the internal components.
NOTE: Your vehicle uses the air conditioning refrigerant HFC-134a, commonly called “R-134a”. R-134a replaced R-12 around 1993 for automotive applications. Other refrigerants are available, including recycled R-12, but only R-134a should be used in your vehicle.
|CAUTION| |---| |Using the wrong refrigerant may damage your air conditioning system. Use R-134a only. Do not mix or replace the R-134a with other refrigerants.|

VEHICLE LOADING AND TOWING Vehicle Loading
Towing Your Vehicle
|WARNING
| |---| |Never overload your vehicle. The gross vehicle weight (sum of the weights of the vehicle, all the occupants, accessories, cargo plus trailer nose weight if towing a trailer) must never exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). In addition, never distribute a load so that the weight on either the front or rear axle exceeds the Permissible maximum Axle Weight (PAW).|
Your vehicle was designed for specific weight capacities. The weight capacities of your vehicle are indicated by the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and the Permissible maximum Axle Weight (PAW, front and rear). The GVWR and PAW (front and rear) are listed in the “SPECIFICATIONS” section.
Your vehicle may be towed behind another vehicle, provided your vehicle is 2 wheel drive (2WD) and you use the proper towing method specified for your vehicle. The towing method you must use depends on the specifications of your vehicle: whether it is a manual transaxle vehicle or an Auto Gear Shift vehicle.
GVWR – Maximum permissible overall weight of the fully loaded vehicle (including all the occupants, accessories and cargo plus the trailer nose weight if towing a trailer). PAW – (Front and Rear) Maximum permissible weight on an individual axle.
Use the towing instruction table to select the proper towing method for your vehicle, and carefully follow the corresponding instructions.3.
|WARNING
| |---| |When you tow your vehicle, follow the instructions below to avoid accidents and damage to your vehicle. In addition, be sure to observe government and local requirements regarding vehicle lighting and trailer hitches or tow bars.|
|WARNING
| |---| |Always distribute cargo evenly. To avoid personal injury or damage to your vehicle, always secure cargo to prevent it from shifting if the vehicle moves suddenly. Place heavier objects on the floor and as far forward in the cargo area as possible. Never pile cargo higher than the top of the seat backs.|
Actual weight of the loaded vehicle and actual loads at the front and rear axles can only be determined by weighing the vehicle. Compare these weights to the GVWR and PAW (front and rear). If the gross vehicle weight or the load on either axle exceeds these ratings, you must remove enough weight to bring the load down to the rated capacity.
|WARNING
| |---| |A safety chain should always be used when you tow your vehicle.|
Trailer Towing
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. Towing a trailer can adversely affect handling, durability, and fuel economy.

Engine Oil and Filter Specified Oil
Be sure that the engine oil you use comes under the quality classification of SL.
SAE 0W-20 is the best choice for good fuel economy, and good starting in cold weather.
####### Oil Level Check
|EXAMPLE| |---|
68KH066
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.
The handle of the engine oil dipstick is colored yellow for easy identification. Pull out the oil dipstick, wipe oil off with a clean cloth, insert the dipstick all the way into the engine, 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.
|CAUTION|
|---| |Failure to check the oil level regularly could lead to serious engine trouble due to insufficient oil.|
####### Refilling
|
CloseOpen
EXAMPLE| |---|
81A147
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.
Changing Engine Oil and Filter Drain the engine oil while the engine is still warm.
|Open Close
EXAMPLE| |---|

Engine Coolant Selection of Coolant To maintain optimum performance and durability of your engine, use MARUTI Genuine Coolant or equivalent. This type of coolant is best for your cooling system as it:
Failure to use the proper coolant can damage your cooling system. Your MARUTI SUZUKI authorised workshop can help you select the proper coolant.
|NOTICE| |---| |To avoid damaging your cooling system:
• Always use a high quality ethylene glycol base non-silicate type coolant diluted with distilled water at the correct mixture concentration.
• Make sure that the proper mix is 30/ 70 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.
• Do not use straight coolant nor plain water.
• Do not add extra inhibitors or additives. They may not be compatible with your cooling system.
• Do not mix different types of base coolants. Doing so may result in accelerated seal wear and/or the possibility of severe overheating and extensive engine damage.
|
####### Coolant Level Check
Check the coolant level at the reservoir tank, not at the radiator. With the engine cool, the coolant level should be between the “FULL” and “LOW” marks.
####### Adding Coolant
|EXAMPLE| |---|
|EXAMPLE| |---|
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.
|WARNING
| |---| |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 center or a physician. Avoid inhaling mist or hot vapors; if inhaled, move to fresh air area. 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.|
|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 mark on the cap and the mark on the tank. Failure to follow this can result in coolant leakage.
|
####### Coolant Replacement
Since special procedures are required, we recommend you take your vehicle to your MARUTI SUZUKI authorised workshop for coolant replacement.
Air Cleaner
| | |---|
67LH080
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there will be greater intake resistance, resulting in decreased power output and increased fuel consumption.

|WARNING
| |---| |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 center 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.|
NOTE: With disc brakes, the fluid level can be expected to gradually fall as the brake pads wear.
####### Brake Pedal
Check if the brake pedal stops at the regular height without “spongy” feeling when you depress it. If not, have the brake system inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI authorised workshop. If you doubt the brake pedal for the regular height, check it as follows:
|| |---|
54G108
Pedal to floor carpet minimum distance “a”: 59 mm (2.3 in.)
If the pedal to floor carpet distance as measured above is less than the minimum distance required, have your vehicle inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI authorised workshop.
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.

EXAMPLE| |---|
60G104S
|WARNING
| |---| |If you experience any of the following problems with your vehicle’s brake system, have the vehicle inspected immediately by your MARUTI SUZUKI authorised workshop.
• Poor braking performance
• Uneven braking (brakes not working uniformly on all wheels.)
• Excessive pedal travel
• Brake dragging
• Excessive noise
• (Except ABS equipped vehicle) Pedal pulsation (pedal pulsates when depressed.)
|
With the engine running, measure the distance between the brake pedal and floor carpet 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.
####### Parking Brake

(1)
“b”
EXAMPLE| |---|
60MHM07001
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 authorised workshop.
Steering
|“c”
EXAMPLE| |---|
67LH082
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 authorised workshop.
Tires
|EXAMPLE| |---|
68KH075
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. Note that the value does not apply to the compact spare tire, if equipped.
Tire Inspection Inspect your vehicle’s tires at least once a month by performing the following checks:
1) Measure the air pressure with a tire gauge. Adjust the pressure if necessary. Remember to check the spare tire, too.
|WARNING
| |---| |• Air pressures should be checked when the tires are cold or you may get inaccurate readings.
• Check the inflation pressure from time to time while inflating the tire gradually, until the specified pressure is obtained.
• Never underinflate or overinflate the tires. Underinflation can cause unusual handling characteristics or can cause the rim to slip on the tire bead, resulting in an accident or damage to the tire or rim. Overinflation can cause the tire to burst, resulting in personal injury. Overinflation can also cause unusual handling characteristics which may result in an accident.

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
Environmental conditions which accelerate corrosion
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. Certain 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.
Store your vehicle in a dry, well-ventilated area
Do not park your vehicle in a damp, poorly ventilated area. If you often wash your vehicle in the garage or if you frequently drive it in when wet, your garage may be damp. The high humidity in the garage may cause or accelerate corrosion. A wet vehicle may corrode even in a heated garage if the ventilation is poor.
|WARNING
| |---| |Do not apply additional undercoating or rust preventive coating on or around exhaust system components such as the catalytic converter, exhaust pipes, etc. A fire could be started if the undercoating substance becomes overheated.|
Vehicle Cleaning
|| |---|
76G044S
|WARNING
| |---| |When cleaning the interior or exterior of the vehicle, NEVER USE flammable solvents such as lacquer thinners, petrol, benzene or cleaning materials such as bleaches or strong household detergents. The materials could cause personal injury or damage to the vehicle.|
Cleaning the Interior Vinyl upholstery Prepare a solution of soap or mild detergent mixed with warm water. Apply the solution to the vinyl with a sponge or soft cloth and let it soak for a few minutes to loosen dirt. Rub the surface with a clean, damp cloth to remove dirt and the soap solution. If some dirt still remains on the surface, repeat this procedure.
######## 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.
######## 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.
####### Cleaning the Exterior
|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.|
