Pull the shoulder portion of the belt
upwards through the tongue plate.
The length of the diagonal shoulder strap
adjusts itself to allow freedom of movement.
The seat belt has an emergency locking
retractor (ELR), which is designed to lock
the seat belt only during a sudden stop or
impact.
No modifications or additions of any
sort should be made to the seat belt
or its operating mechanism.

STEERING COLUMN CONTROLS
HORN
To prevent damage to the windscreen
wiper and washer system components,
you should take the following
precautions:
Do not continue to hold in the lever
when there is no windscreen washer
fluid being sprayed or the washer
motor can be damaged.
Do not attempt to remove dirt from
a dry windscreen with the wipers or
you can damage the windscreen and
the wiper blades. Always wet the
windscreen with washer fluid before
operating the wipers.
Clear ice or packed snow from the
wiper blades before using the
wipers.
Check the washer fluid level
regularly. Check it often when the
weather is bad.
Only fill the washer fluid reservoir
3/4 full during cold weather to allow
room for expansion if the
temperature falls low enough to
freeze the solution.Press the horn button of the steering wheel
to sound the horn. The horn will sound with
the ignition switch in any position.

Windscreen Washer
To spray windscreen washer fluid, pull the
lever toward you. The windscreen wipers
will automatically turn on at low speed if
they are not already on and the "INT"
position is equipped.
To prevent windscreen icing in cold
weather, turn on the defroster to heat
the windscreen before and during
windscreen washer use.
Do not use radiator antifreeze in the
windscreen washer reservoir. It can
severely impair visibility when
sprayed on the windscreen, and can
also damage your vehicle’s paint.

Defrosting
Move the function lever/knob to “DEFROST”
and the air intake lever to “FRESH AIR”,
the temperature control lever/knob to the
desired temperature position, and the fan
switch to “HIGH” Moving the temperature
control lever/knob to a higher temperature
position increases defrosting efficiency.
When the windscreen has become clear,
move the fan switch to the desired fan
speed position.
AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM
(if equipped)If your vehicle is equipped with air
conditioner, it has an A/C button located on
the heater control panel. The air conditioning
system can be used to provide cooling and
dehumidifying, as described below. To turn
on the air conditioning system, push in the
A/C button and move the fan switch to a
position other than “OFF”. An indicator light
will come on when the air conditioning
system is on. To turn off the air conditioning
system, push the A/C button again.
During operation of the air conditioner, you
may notice slight changes in engine speed.
These changes are normal, the system is
designed so that the compressor turns on
or off to maintain the desired temperature.
Less operation of the compressor results in
better fuel economy.

SYSTEM OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSNormal Cooling (using outside air)
Push in the A/C button, move the function
lever/knob to "VENTILATION", the air
intake lever to “FRESH AIR”, the
temperature control lever/knob to the
“COOL” position, and the fan switch to the
desired fan speed position. Moving the fan
switch to a higher fan speed position
increases cooling efficiency.
If the ambient temperature is high enough
to cause insufficient cooling, use the "Quick
Cooling" as following.

Quick Cooling (Using recirculated air)
The lever/knob settings are the same as for
normal cooling except you move the air
intake lever to “RECIRCULATED AIR”. If
you use this cooling method for a extended
period of time, the air in the vehicle can
become contaminated. Therefore, you
should occasionally move the air intake
lever to “FRESH AIR”.NOTE:
If your vehicle has been left in the sun with
the windows closed, it will cool faster if you
open the windows briefly while you operate
the air conditioner with the air intake lever
at “FRESH AIR” and the fan at high speed.
Dehumidifying
Push in the A/C button, move the function
lever/knob to the desired function position,
the air intake lever to “FRESH AIR”, the
temperature control lever/knob to the desired
temperature position, and the fan switch to
the desired fan speed position.NOTE:
Because the air conditioner dehumidifies the
air, turning it on will help keep the windows
clear, even when blowing heated air using
the DEMIST or HEATER & DEMIST
functions.

(ALTO / ALTO K10)Maintenance
If you do not use the air conditioner for a
long period, such as during winter, it may
not give the best performance when you
start using it again. To help maintain op-
timum performance and durability of your air
conditioner, it needs to be run periodically.
Operate the air conditioner at least once a
month for one minute with the engine idling.
This circulates the refrigerant and oil and
helps protect the internal components.
Note:
Your vehicle uses the air conditioning re-
frigerant HFC-134a, commonly called “R-
134a”. Only R-134a should be used in your
vehicle.
CAUTION
Using the wrong refrigerant may dam-
age your air conditioning system. Use
R-134a only. Do not mix or replace the
R-134a with other refrigerants.

PARKING BRAKE LEVER
Never drive your vehicle with the
parking brake on: rear brake
effectiveness can be reduced from
over heating, brake life may be
shortened, or permanent brake
damage may result.
If the parking brake does not hold
the vehicle securely or does not
fully release, have your vehicle
inspected immediately by an
authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
Always apply the parking brake fully
before leaving your vehicle or it may
move, causing injury or damage.
When parking, make sure the gear
shift lever for manual transmission is
left in first gear or reverse. Remember,
even though the transmission is in
gear, you must always apply the
parking brake fully. The parking brake lever is located between
the seats. To apply the parking brake, hold
the brake pedal down and pull the parking
brake lever all the way up.
To release the parking brake, hold the brake
pedal down, pull up slightly on the parking
brake lever, push the button on the end of
the lever with your thumb, and lower the
lever to its original position.
