OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
5-5 Brake Pedal (2)Your SUZUKI vehicle is equipped with front
disc brakes and rear drum brakes.
Depressing the brake pedal applies both
sets of brakes.
You may hear occasional brake squeal
when you apply the brakes. This is a
normal condition caused by environmental
factors such as cold, wet, snow, etc.
w ww w
w WARNING
If brake squeal is excessive and
occurs each time the brakes are
applied, you should have the brakes
checked by your SUZUKI dealer.
w ww w
w WARNING
Do not “ride” the brakes by applying
them continuously or resting your foot
on the pedal. This will result in
overheating of the brakes which could
cause unpredictable braking action,
longer stopping distances, or
permanent brake damage.Accelerator Pedal (3)This pedal controls the speed of the engine.
Depressing the accelerator pedal increases
power output and speed.
Starting the EngineBefore Starting the Engine
83K-03-008A
1) Make sure the parking brake is set fully.
2) Manual transaxle – Shift into “N”
(Neutral) and depress the clutch pedal
all the way to the floor. Hold the clutch
pedal while starting the engine.
Automatic transaxle – If the gearshift
lever is not in “P” (Park) position, shift
into “P” (Park). (if you need to re-start
the engine while the vehicle is moving,
shift into “N”.)NOTE:
Automatic transaxle vehicles have a starter
interlock device which is designed to keep
the starter from operating if the transaxle
is in any of the drive positions.
Make sure that the parking brake is set
fully and the transaxle is in Neutral
before attempting to start the engine.
w ww w
w WARNING
Starting a Cold and Warm EngineWith your foot off the accelerator pedal,
crank the engine by turning the ignition key
to “START”. Release the key when the
engine starts.
NOTICE
Stop turning the starter immediately
after the engine has started or the
starter system can be damaged.
Do not crank the engine for more
than 15 seconds at a time. If the
engine doesn’t start on the first try,
wait about 15 seconds before trying
again.
If the engine does not start after 15
seconds of cranking, wait about 15 seconds,
then press down the accelerator pedal to
1/3 of its travel and try cranking the engine
again. Release the key and accelerator
pedal when the engine starts.
If the engine still does not start, try holding
the accelerator pedal all the way to the floor
while cranking. This should clear the engine
if it is flooded.

CAUTION
When downshifting to a lower gear,
make sure not to operate with the
speed faster than the maximum
allowable speeds for the next lower
gear, or severe engine damage can
result.
Keep the engine speed so it does not get
into the red zone of tachometer.
w ww w
w WARNINGCAUTION
To help avoid clutch damage, do not
use the clutch pedal as a footrest
while driving or use the clutch to
keep the vehicle stationary on a
slope. Depress the clutch fully when
shifting.
When shifting or starting off, do not
race the engine. Racing the engine
can shorten engine life and affect
smooth operation.

w ww w
w WARNING
Always depress the brake pedal before
shifting from “P” (Park) (or “N”
(Neutral) if the vehicle is stationary) to
a forward or reverse gear, to help
prevent the vehicle from moving
unexpectedly when you shift.
Reduce your speed and downshift
to a lower gear before going down
a long or steep hill. A lower gear
will allow the engine to provide
braking. Avoid riding the brakes or
they may overheat, resulting in
brake failure.
When driving on slippery roads, be
sure to slow down before changing
down. Excessive and or sudden
changes in engine speed may cause
loss of traction, which could cause
you to lose control.
Make sure that the vehicle is com-
pletely stationary before you shift
into reverse.
NOTE:
You may not accelerate to the maximum
allowable speed because of the driving sit-
uation and/or the vehicle condition.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 6783K Wear Your Seat Belts at All Times,
even if air bags are equipped at the
front seating positions. The driver
and all passengers should be prop-
erly restrained at all times, using
the seat belts provided. Refer to the
“Seat Belts and Child Restraint
Systems” section for instructions on
proper use of the seat belts.
Never drive while under the influ-
ence of alcohol or other drugs.
Alcohol and drugs can seriously
impair your ability to drive safely,
greatly increasing the risk of injury
to yourself and others. You should
also avoid driving when you are
tired, sick, irritated, or under stress.The future performance and reliability
of the engine depends on the care
and restraint exercised during its early
life. It is especially important to
observe the following precautions
during the initial 960 km (600 miles)
of vehicle operation.
After starting, do not race the
engine. Warm it up gradually.
Avoid prolonged vehicle operation at
a constant speed. Moving parts will
break in better if you vary your
speed.
Start off from a stop slowly. Avoid
full throttle starts.
Avoid hard braking, especially dur-
ing the first 320 km (200 miles) of
driving.
Do not drive slowly with the trans-
mission in a high gear.
Drive the vehicle at moderate engine
speeds.

CAUTION
Catalytic ConverterThe purpose of the catalytic converter is to
minimize the amount of harmful pollutants
in your vehicle’s exhaust. Use of leaded fuel
in vehicles equipped with catalytic
converters is prohibited, because lead
deactivates the pollutant-reducing compo-
nents of the catalyst system.
The converter is designed to last the life of
the vehicle under normal usage and when
unleaded fuel is used. No special mainte-
nance is required on the converter. How-
ever, it is very important to keep the engine
properly tuned. Engine misfiring, which can
result from an improperly tuned engine
loose writing etc., may cause overheating
of the catalyst. This may result in perma-
nent heat damage to the catalyst and other
vehicle components.

DRIVING TIPS
6-3
(Diesel engine)
No cleaning is required. Replace as per
periodic maintenance schedule.
Keep weight to a minimum
The heavier the load, the more fuel the
vehicle consumes. Take out any luggage or
cargo when it is not necessary.
Keep tyre pressures correct
Underinflation of the tyres can waste fuel
due to increased running resistance of the
tyres. Keep your tyres inflated to the cor-
rect pressure shown on the label on the
driver’s side door pillar.Highway DrivingWhen driving at high speeds, pay attention
to the following:
Stopping distance progressively increa-
ses with vehicle speed. Apply the brakes
far enough ahead of the stopping point
to allow for the extra stopping distance.
On rainy days, “Aquaplaning” can occur.
“Aquaplaning” is the loss of direct con-
tact between the road surface and the
vehicle’s tyres due to a water film form-
ing between them. Steering or braking
the vehicle while “Aquaplaning” can be
very difficult, and loss of control can
occur. Keep speed down when the road
surface is wet.
At high speeds, the vehicle may be
affected by side winds. Therefore, reducespeed and be prepared for unexpected
buffeting, which can occur at the exits
of tunnels, when passing by a cut of a
hill, or when being overtaken by large
vehicles, etc.
Driving on Hills
w ww w
w WARNING
Try not to hold the brake pedal down
too long or too often while going
down a steep or long hill. This could
cause the brakes to overheat, result-
ing in reduced braking efficiency.
Failure to take this precaution could
result in loss of vehicle control.
CAUTION
When descending a down hill, NEVER
turn the ignition key to the “OFF”
position. Emission control system
damage may result.Driving on Slippery Roads
83K-04-006
83K-04-005
When climbing steep hills, the car may
begin to slow down and show a lack of
power. If this happens, you should shift
to a lower gear so that the engine will
again be operating in its normal power
range. Change rapidly to prevent the car
from losing momentum.
When driving down a hill, the engine
should be used for braking by moving
to next lower gear.

w WARNING
Do not allow anyone to stand near the
vehicle when you are rocking it, and
do not spin the wheels faster than an
indicated 40 km/h (25 mph) on the
speedometer. Personal injury and/ or
vehicle damage may result from spin-
ning the wheels too fast.
CAUTION
83K-04-007
Do not continue rocking the vehicle
for more than a few minutes. Pro-
longed rocking can cause engine
overheating or transmission damage.
Under wet road conditions you should drive
at a lower speed than on dry roads due to
possible slippage of tyres during braking.
When driving on icy, snow-covered, or
muddy roads, reduce your speed and avoid
sudden acceleration, abrupt braking, or
sharp steering movements.If Your Vehicle Gets StuckIf your vehicle gets stuck in snow, mud, or
sand, follow the directions below:
1) Change back and forth between first
gear and reverse. This will create a
rocking motion which may give you
enough momentum to free the vehicle.
Press gently on the accelerator to keep
wheel spinning to a minimum wheel rpm.
Remove your foot from the accelerator
while changing gear.
Do not race the engine. Excessive wheel
spin will cause the tyres to dig deeper,
making it more difficult to free the
vehicle.
2) If your vehicle remains stuck after a few
minutes of rocking, get another vehicle
to pull your vehicle out.
CAUTION
When driving on wet roads, avoid
driving through large amount of
standing water on the road. Large
amount of water entering the engine
compartment may cause damage to
the engine and or electrical
components.
If stuck in deep water, do not start
till water level drops
Water is incompressible substance,
water inside the engine is harmful
to the engine.DRIVING ON WET ROADS

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
