DRIVING TIPS

4. Before entering a corner, decelerate to
a safe speed. Don’t apply brakes during
cornering, or a cornering skid may occur.
5. When overtaking other vehicles, watch
out for the oncoming vehicle and
carefully confirm the safety.
6. Don’t attempt zigzag driving which will
hinder your control over the vehicle and
cause an accident.
Braking
1. Use the parking brake when parking(1) Warn the vehicle behind you
(2) Gradually apply the brake.
(3) Bring the vehicle to a halt.
3. When driving on a downhill, try not to
apply the brake but use the engine brake
effectively. Overuse of the footbrake may
result in total brake failure.
4. Avoid reckless high speed driving and try
to drive at a safe speed suitable for theroad conditions while maintaining a
constant speed.

your vehicle and shift the gear shift lever
into the first gear or reverse gear
position for the sake of safety.
2. Don’t use handbraking unless un-
avoidable. It causes the vehicle to skid
and a rearend collision occur. It is
especially dangerous when the tyres are
worn, for they allow a larger skid.
Use foot brake in three stages
5. The higher the speed, the narrower the
driver’s visual range becomes. In such
a state, it is difficult to anticipate any
hazard and the driver feels much
fatigued.
6. Never do sharp handling during high
speed driving. You will lose your control
over your vehicle.
7. When overtaking or changing the lane
while driving at a high speed, keep an
ample vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
Long distance driving
1. Be sure to perform safety checks before
starting a trip.
2. Take rest at certain intervals to prevent
an accident which may occur when you
are sleepy or tired.

You should take extreme care when
working on your vehicle to prevent
accidental injury. Here are a few pre-
cautions that you should be especially
careful to observe:
To prevent damage or unintended
activation 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
vehicle. Do not touch air bag sys-
tem components and wires. The
wires are wrapped with yellow tape
or yellow tubing, and the couplers
are yellow for easy identification.

When the engine is running, keep
hands, clothing, tools, and other
objects away from the fan and drive
belt. Even though the fan may not
be moving, it can automatically turn
on without warning.
When it is necessary to do service
work with the engine running, make
sure that the parking brake is
applied fully and the transmission is
in Neutral.
Do not touch ignition wires or other
ignition system parts when starting
the engine or when the engine is
running, or you could receive an
electric shock.
Be careful not to touch a hot
engine, exhaust manifold and pipes,
muffler, radiator and water hoses.
Do not allow smoking, sparks, or
flames around petrol or the battery.
Flammable fumes are present.
Do not get under your vehicle if it
is supported only with the portable
jack provided in your vehicle.V VV V

fied for your vehicle. For the specified
spark plugs, refer to the “SPECIFI-
CATIONS” section at the end of this
book. It is recommended to trust this
job on your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
83K-07-026
NOTE:
If your engine is equipped with the high-
tension cord type ignition wiring and you
experience some firing problem of spark
plugs, such as, hard engine-starting, misfire
etc., the cause may be located not only on
spark plugs but also on deteriorated ignition
wirings (generally, used for more than 80000
km or five years). If spark plug replacement
does not solve the problem, have theEXAMPLEV VV V

ignition wiring and other ignition system
inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.Gear OilTransmission OilWhen adding gear oil, use gear oil with the
appropriate viscosity and grade.
We highly recommend you use:
API GL-4 SAE 75W-90.
83K-07-027
Gear Oil Level Check
(1) Oil filler and level plug
(for petrol engine model)
(2) Oil filler and level plug
(for diesel engine model)
To check the gear oil level, use the follow-
ing procedure:
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface withthe parking brake applied. Then, stop the
engine.
2) Remove the oil filler plug.
3) Feel the inside of the hole with your fin-
ger. If the oil level comes up to the bot-
tom of the plug hole, the oil level is
correct. If so, reinstall the plug.
4) If the oil level is low, add gear oil
through the oil filler plug hole (1) until
the oil level reaches the bottom of the
filler hole, then reinstall the plug.
Tightening torque (1):
21 Nm (2.1 kg-m, 15.5 lb-ft)

w WARNING
After driving the vehicle, the trans-
mission oil temperature may be high
enough to burn your skin. Wait until
the oil filler plug is cool enough to
touch with your bare hands before
inspecting transmission oil.
CAUTION
When tightening the plug, apply the
following sealing compound or
equivalent to the plug threads to pre-
vent oil leakage.
Manual transmission sealant:

Clutch pedal play “d”:
Petrol Engine
11 - 13 mm (0.4 - 0.5 in.)
Diesel Engine
5 - 7 mm (0.2 - 0.27 in.)
Measure the clutch pedal play by moving
the clutch pedal with your hand and mea-
suring the distance it moves until you feel
slight resistance. The play in the clutchpedal should be between the specified val-
ues. If the play is more or less than the
above, or clutch dragging is felt with the
pedal fully depressed, have the clutch
inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
Fluid Control Clutch (For Diesel)Check the clutch pedal for smooth operation
and brake fluid level from time to time.
If clutch dragging is felt with the pedal fully
depressed, have the clutch inspected by your
MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. If the brake fluid
level is near the “MIN” line, fill it up to the
“MAX” line with Maruti Genuine brake fluid.
