Once a week, or each time you fill your fuel
tank, perform the following under-hood
checks:
1) Engine oil level
2) Coolant level
3) Brake fluid level
4) Windshield washer fluid level
5) Battery solution level
6) Bonnet latch operation
Pull the Bonnet release handle inside the
vehicle. Make sure that you cannot open
the Bonnet all the way without releasingthe secondary latch. Be sure to close
the Bonnet securely after checking for
proper latch operation. See “All latches,
hinges & locks” of “CHASSIS AND
BODY” in the “Periodic Maintenance

w ww w
w WARNING
Make sure the bonnet is fully closed
and latched before driving. If it is not,
it can fly up unexpectedly during
driving, obstructing your view and
resulting in an accident.
Once a month, or each time you fill your
fuel tank, check the tyre pressure using a
tyre pressure gauge. Also check the tyre
pressure of the spare tyre.since its pistons, piston rings and cylinder
walls have not yet become conditioned. New
engines reach the normal level of oil
consumption only after approximately 5000
km (3000 miles) driving.
When judging the amount of oil consump-
tion, note that the oil may become diluted
and make it difficult to accurately judge the
true oil level.
As an example, if a vehicle is used for
repeated short trips, and consumes a nor-
mal amount of oil, the dipstick may not
show any drop in the oil level at all, even
after 1000 km (600 miles) or more of driv-
ing. This is because the oil is gradually
becoming diluted with fuel or moisture,
making it appear that the oil level has not
changed.
You should also be aware that the diluting
ingredients evaporate out when the vehicle
is subsequently driven at high speeds, such
as on an expressway, making it appear that
oil is excessively consumed after high-speed
driving.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
5-2
Engine Oil ConsumptionIt is normal for the engine to consume some
engine oil during normal vehicle operation.
The amount of engine oil consumed
depends on the viscosity of the oil, the
quality of the oil and the conditions the
vehicle is driven under.
More oil is consumed during high-speed
driving and when there is frequent acceler-
ation and deceleration. Under high loads,
your engine also will consume more oil.
A new engine also consumes more oil,

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.

2. Always follow other vehicles at a safe
distance in order to prevent a rear-end
collision, should the vehicle ahead make
a sudden stop.
3. Turn ON the turn signal at least 30
meters before making a turn or changing
the lane so as not to be hit from behind.
DRIVING TIPS

DO’S AND DON’TS FOR SAFE
DRIVINGExercise care in handling your vehicle. Be
conscious of not only your own safety but
also the safety of others on the road, and
thus enjoy the best and most comfortable
driving experience.
This section contains basic rules for safe
driving. Read it carefully for good
understanding of the content so that you
can enjoy safe and pleasant driving in your
Maruti Suzuki vehicle.3. Before moving off, look forward and back
to confirm safety.
4. Don’t start quickly, for it is dangerous
and wastes fuel.
General driving
1. Be sure to stop before the stop light and
stop sign. When moving into the
intersection without any traffic lights or
signs, drive slowly to confirm safety.
w ww w
w WARNING
In addition to following the driving tips
in this section, it is important to
observe the following precautions.
Make sure your tyres are in good
condition and always maintain the
specified tyre pressure. Refer to
“Tyres” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section for details.
Do not use tyres other than those
specified by MARUTI SUZUKI. Never
use different sizes or types of tyres on
the front and rear wheels. For
information regarding the specified
tyres, refer to the Tyre Information
Label located on the driver’s door pillar.
Never use oversized tyres or special
shock absorbers and springs to raise
(jack up) your vehicle. This will
change the handling characteristics.
Oversized tyres may also rub against
the fender over bumps, causing
vehicle damage or tire failure.
After driving through water, test the
brakes while driving at a slow speed
to see if they have maintained their
normal effectiveness. If the brakes
are less effective than normal, dry
them by repeatedly applying the
brakes while driving slowly until the
brakes have regained their normal
effectiveness.
