wheel to be changed.

5) Position the jack vertically and raise the jack

by turning the jack handle clockwise until the

jack head recess fits the frame boss.

NOTE:

Use the wheel nut wrench in combination with

jack crank to raise or lower the jack as shown

in the illustration.
Use the jack only to change wheels.

Never jack up the vehicle on an

inclined surface.

Never raise the vehicle with the jack in

a location other than under the frame

boss near the wheel to be changed.

Make sure that the jack is raised at

least 2 inches (51 mm) before it

contacts the vehicle. Use of the jack

when it is within 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. t=>

JUMP STARTING INSTRUCTIONS

60G-10-002
60G-10-003

Never run the engine when the

vehicle is supported by the jack and

never allow passengers to remain in

the vehicle.
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 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.

10-2

EMERGENCY SERVICE

60G-74E

CAUTION

Vehicle equipped with electronic fuel

injection system will not start by

pushing or towing as the fuel pump

will not work in this condition. This

starting method could also result in

permanent damage to the catalytic

converter. Use jump leads to start a

vehicle with a weak or flat battery.

60G-10-004E

When jump starting your vehicle, use the

following procedure:

1) Use only a 12 volt battery to jump start

your vehicle. Position the good 12V battery

close to your vehicle so that the jump leads

will reach both batteries. When using a

battery 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).
3) Make jump lead connections as follows:

a) Connect one end of the first jump lead

to the positive (+) terminal of the flat

battery.

b) Connect the other end to the positive

(+) terminal of the booster battery.

c) Connect one end of the second jump

lead to the negative (-) terminal of the

booster battery.

d) Make the final connection to an

unpainted, heavy metal part of the

engine of the vehicle with the flat

battery.

Never connect the jump lead directly

to the negative (-) terminal of the

discharged battery, or an explosion

may occur.

10-3
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.

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.

TOWING

If you need to have your vehicle towed, contact

a professional service.

CAUTION

To help avoid damage to your vehicle

during towing, proper equipment and

towing procedures must be used.

Manual Transmission

Whenever possible, your vehicle should be

towed from the front with the front wheels lifted.

If the steering and drivetrain are in good

condition, your vehicle may be towed from the

rear with the rear wheels lifted and the front

wheels on the ground. Before towing, make

sure the steering is unlocked and the

transmission is in neutral.
EMERGENCY REMEDIES

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

dealer.

If the Engine is Flooded

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). Release the accelerator as soon

as the engine has started.
If the Engine Overheats

The engine could overheat temporarily under

severe driving conditions. If the engine coolant

temperature gauge indicates overheating

during driving:

1) Turn off the air conditioner, if equipped.

2) Take the vehicle to a safe place and park.

3) Let the engine run at 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.

WARNING TRIANGLE (TYPE-1)

If the temperature indication does not come

down to within the normal, acceptable range:

1) Turn off the engine and check that the

water pump belt and pulleys are not

damaged or slipping. If any abnormality is

found, correct it.

2) Check the coolant level in the reservoir. If

it is found to be lower than the "LOW" line,

look for leaks at the radiator, water pump,

and radiator and heater hoses. If you

locate any leaks that may have caused the

overheating, do not run the engine until

these problems have been corrected.

3) If you do not find a leak, carefully add

coolant to the reservoir and then the

radiator, if necessary. (Refer to "ENGINE

COOLANr in the "INSPECTION AND

MAINTENANCE" section.)
K is dangerous 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 airconditioner

fan (if equipped). These electric fans

can automatically turn on without

warning.
