(For Diesel Engine Model)
83K-07-018
CAUTION
To avoid damaging your cooling system:
Always use a high quality ethylene
glycol base 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 (Diesel)
and 30/70 (For petrol). Concen-
trations other than this may cause
overheating conditions.
Neither use 100% coolant nor 100%
plain water.
Do not add extra inhibitors or addi-
tives. 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 CheckCheck 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.
Selection of CoolantTo 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 tempera-
ture.
Gives proper protection against freezing
and boiling.
Gives proper protection against corrosion
and rust.
Failure to use the proper coolant can dam-
age your cooling system. Your MARUTI
SUZUKI authorized dealer can help you
select the proper coolant.
w ww w
w WARNING
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.
Adding Coolant(For Petrol Engine Model)
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.
(For Diesel Engine Model)
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.
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 reser-
voir tank, line up the arrow on the
cap and the arrow on the tank. Fail-
ure to follow this can result in cool-
ant leakage.
Engine coolant is harmful or fatal if
swallowed or inhaled. Do not drink
antifreeze or coolant solution. If swal-
lowed, do not induce vomiting. Imme-
diately contact a poison control center
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.

Air Cleaner(For Petrol Engine Model)
83K-07-01983K-07-020
(For Diesel Engine Model)
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there
will be greater intake resistance, resultingin decreased power output and increased
fuel consumption.
Unclamp the side clamps or loosen the
screws, and remove the element from the
air cleaner case. If it appears to be dirty,
replace it with a new one.

For nickel spark plugs (traditional type):
You should inspect spark plugs periodically
for carbon deposits. When carbon accu-
mulates on a spark plug, a strong spark
may not be produced. Remove carbon
deposits with a wire or pin and adjust the
spark plug gap.
To access the spark plugs:
1) Unclamp the air cleaner cover.
2) Remove the engine top cover.
3) If necessary, disconnect the coupler (1)
while pushing the release lever.
