his or her seat belt.
The reminder will be automatically cancel
when the driver’s seat belt is buckled or the
ignition switch is turned off.
Shoulder Anchor Height Adjuster (if
equipped)Adjust the shoulder anchor height so that
the shoulder belt rides on the center of the

It is absolutely essential that the
driver and passengers wear their seat
belts at all times. Persons who are not
wearing seat belts have a much
greater risk of injury if an accident
occurs. Make a regular habit of buck-
ling your seat belt before putting the
key in the ignition.

EXAMPLEMARUTI 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 lap-
shoulder 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 statis-
tics, children are safer when properly
restrained on rear seats than front passen-
ger’s seat.
NOTE:
Observe any statutory regulation about child
restraints.

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 pas-
senger’s air bag inflates, a child in a
rear- facing child restraint could be
killed or seriously injured. The back of
a rear-facing child restraint would be
too close to the inflating air bag.

This section of the owner’s manual
describes the protection provided by
your MARUTI SUZUKI SUPPLEMEN-
TAL 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 Supple-
mental Restraint System consisting of the
following components in addition to a lap-
shoulder belt at each front seating position.1. Driver’s front air bag module

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.

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.
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
w ww w
w 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.

brake lights and horn for proper opera-
tion.
6) Adjust the seat and adjustable head
restraint (if equipped).
7) Check the brake pedal and the parking
brake lever.
8) Adjust the mirrors.

Once a week, or each time you fill your fuel
tank, perform the following under-hood
checks:
1) Engine oil level
2) Coolant level
3) Brake fluid level
4) Windshield washer fluid level
5) Battery solution level
6) Bonnet latch operation
Pull the Bonnet release handle inside the
vehicle. Make sure that you cannot open
the Bonnet all the way without releasingthe secondary latch. Be sure to close
the Bonnet securely after checking for
proper latch operation. See “All latches,
hinges & locks” of “CHASSIS AND
BODY” in the “Periodic Maintenance
Schedule” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section for lubrication
schedule.
w ww w
w WARNING
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.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 consump-
tion, 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 nor-
mal 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 driv-
ing. 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.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
5-2
Engine Oil ConsumptionIt 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 acceler-
ation and deceleration. Under high loads,
your engine also will consume more oil.
A new engine also consumes more oil,

The fuel tank filler cap has a “screw-on
ratcheting type” feature.
To remove, turn the cap counterclock-
wise. Turn the cap slowly to allow any
residual pressure to escape.
To install, turn the cap clockwise and
tighten it securely until a “ratcheting”
(clicking) sound is heard. The “ratchet-
ing” sound indicates that the cap is on
properly. The fuel filler cap is located on the left rear
side of the vehicle. The fuel filler lid can be
unlocked by pulling up the opener lever
located on the outboard side of the driver’s
seat and locked by simply closing the lid.
If you need to replace the fuel cap,
use a MARUTI genuine cap. Use of an
improper cap can result in a malfunc-
tion of the fuel system or emission
control system. It may also result in
fuel leakage in the event of an acci-
dent.
