Jump Starting Instructions
w ww w
w WARNING
Never attempt to jump start your
vehicle if the battery appears to be
frozen. Batteries in this condition
may explode or rupture if jump
starting is attempted.
When making jump lead connec-
tions, be certain that your hands
and the jump leads remain clear
from pulleys, belts, or fans.
Batteries produce flammable
hydrogen gas. Keep flames and
sparks away from the battery or an
explosion may occur. Never smoke
when working in the vicinity of the
battery.
If the booster battery you use for
jump starting is installed in another
vehicle, make sure the two vehicles
are not touching each other.

method could result in permanent
damage to the catalytic converter and
high pressure fuel pump (diesel). Use
jump leads to start a vehicle with a
weak or flat battery. If your battery discharges repeat-
edly, for no apparent reason, have
your vehicle inspected by a MARUTI
SUZUKI authorized dealer.
To avoid harm to yourself or dam-
age to your vehicle or battery, fol-
low the jump starting instructions
below precisely and in order.
If you are in doubt, contact your
nearest MARUTI SUZUKI authorized
workshop.When Jump Starting Your Vehicle,
Use the Following Procedure:1) Use only a 12 volt battery to jump start
your vehicle. Position the good 12 V
battery close to your vehicle so that the
jump leads will reach both batteries.
When using a battery installed on
another vehicle, DO NOT LET THE

(+) 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

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.
