OTHER CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT
7-4Using the wrong refrigerant may
damage your air conditioning system.
Use R-134a only. Do not mix or replace
the R-134a with other refrigerants.
CAUTION
NOTE:
If you need maximum demisting:
set the air flow selector to “DEMIST”,
set the blower speed selector to HIGH,
adjust the temperature selector to the
HOT end,
turn on the “A/C” switch, and
adjust the side outlets so the air blows
on the side windows.MaintenanceIf 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 opti-
mum 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”. Only R-134a should be used in your
vehicle.

With the engine running, measure the dis-
tance 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 self-
adjusting, there is no need for pedal
adjustment.
If the pedal to floor wall distance as mea-
sured above is less than the minimum dis-
tance required, have your vehicle inspec-ted
by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.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.

w WARNING
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
83K-07-034
EXAMPLE
Check the parking brake for proper adjust-
ment 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.Steering
EXAMPLE
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 mea-
suring 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

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 cer-
tain 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 which are
approved by MARUTI SUZUKI for
your vehicle.
w ww w
w WARNINGCAUTION
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.V VV V

Tire RotationTo avoid uneven wear of your tyres and to
prolong their life, rotate the tyres as
illustrated. Tyres should be rotated as rec-
ommended in the periodic maintenance
schedule. After rotation, adjust front and
rear tyre pressures to the specification listed
on your vehicle’s Tyre Information Label.Wheel BalancingIf the vehicle vibrates abnormally on smooth
road, have the wheels balanced at Maruti
Suzuki authorized workshop.Wheel AlignmentIn case of abnormal tyre wear or pulling
towards one side, have the wheel aligned
at Maruti Suzuki authorized workshop.
Tubeless Tyres (If equipped)
The vehicle is equipped with Tubeless Tyres.
In tubeless tyre, a thin layer of butyl rubber
83K-07-038
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 tube-
less tyres1. 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 recommen-ded
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 mounting-
tyre/wheel rim damage may occur.

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:
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 (3).
4. Make the final connection to an
unpainted, heavy metal part (i.e.
engine mounting stud/nut (4)) of the
engine of the vehicle with the flat
battery (1).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.
TowingIf you need to have your vehicle towed,
contact a Maruti Suzuki authorised dealer
/ service stations.
w ww w
w WARNING
Never connect the jump lead directly
to the negative (–) terminal of the dis-
charged battery, or an explosion may
occur.
CAUTION
To help avoid damage to your vehicle
during towing, proper equipment and
towing procedures must be used.
CAUTION
The steering colum is not strong
enough to withstand shocks trans-
mitted from the front wheels during
towing always unlock the steering
wheel before towing.
Your vehicle 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.If the Starter Does Not
Operate1) 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 vehi-
cle inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI
authorized dealer.
