w ww w
w WARNING
When the engine is running, keep
hands, hair, clothing, tools, etc. away
from the moving fan and drive belts.
(For Petrol Engine Model)
Make sure the drive belt tension is correct.
If the belt is too loose, insufficient battery
charging, engine overheating, poor power
steering, poor air conditioning, or excessive
belt wear can result. When you press the
belt with your thumb midway between the
pulleys, there should be a deflection
according to the following chart.
The belts should also be examined to
ensure that they are not damaged.
If you need to replace or adjust the belt
have it done by your MARUTI SUZUKI
dealer.
(For Diesel Engine Model)
The drive belts tension is adjusted auto-
matically.

CAUTION
Failure to check the oil level regularly
could lead to serious engine trouble
due to insufficient oil.
(1) MIN
(2) MAX
(3) Engine oil dipstick
It is important to keep the engine oil at the
correct level for proper lubrication of your
vehicle’s engine. Check the oil level with the
vehicle on a level surface. The oil level
indication may be inaccurate if the vehicle
is on a slope. The oil level should be
checked either before starting the engine or
at least 5 minutes after stopping the engine.
The handle of the engine oil dipstick is col-
ored yellow for easy identification. Pull out
the oil dipstick, wipe oil off with a clean cloth,
insert the dipstick all the way into the engine,
then remove it again. The oil on the stick
should be between the upper and lower
limits shown on the stick. If the oil level
indication is near the lower limit, add enough
oil to raise the level to the upper limit.

Refilling (Petrol)
Refilling (Diesel)Remove the oil filler cap and pour oil slowly
through the filler hole to bring the oil level
to the upper limit on the dipstick. Be careful
not to overfill. Too much oil is almost as
bad as too little oil. After refilling, start the
engine and allow it to idle for about a
minute. Stop the engine, wait about 5 min-
utes and check the oil level again.
Changing Engine Oil and FilterDrain the engine oil while the engine is still
warm.
83K-07-010
The engine oil temperature may be
high enough to burn your fingers
when the drain plug is loosened. Wait
until the drain plug is cool enough to
touch with your bare hands.
w ww w
w WARNING
1) Remove the oil filler cap.
2) Place a drain pan under the drain plug.
3) Using a wrench, remove the drain plug
and drain out the engine oil.

CAUTION
To tighten the oil filter properly, it is
Important to accurately identify the
position at which the filter gasket first
contacts the mounting surface.
CAUTION
To prevent oil leakage, make sure that
the oil filter is tight, but do not over-
tighten it.
(1) Loosen
(2) Tighten
NOTE:
Replace ring along with the new filter never
use the old ring in the new filter.5) Tighten the filter specified turn from the
point of contact with the mounting sur-
face (or to the specified torque) using an
oil filter wrench.Tightening torque for oil filter
Petrol Engine
3/4 turn or
14 Nm (1.4 kg-m, 10.5 lb-ft)
Diesel Engine
3/4 turn or
25 Nm (2.5 kg-m, 18.1 lb-ft)
Refill with Oil and Check for Leaks1) Pour oil through the filler hole and install
the filler cap.
For the approximate capacity of the oil,
refer to the “CAPACITIES” item in the
“SPECIFICATIONS” section.
2) Start the engine and look carefully for
leaks at the oil filter and drain plug. Run
the engine at various speeds for at least
5 minutes.
3) Stop the engine and wait about 5 min-
utes. Check the oil level again and add
oil if necessary. Check for leaks again.
CAUTION
When replacing the oil filter, it is
recommended that you use a
MARUTI genuine replacement filter.

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

book. It is recommended to trust this
job on your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.

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.

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.

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.
