The driver’s window has an “auto-down”
feature for added convenience (at toll
booths or drive-through restaurants, for
example). This means you can open the
window without holding the window switch
in the “Down” position. Press the driver’s
window switch completely down and release
it. To stop the window before it reaches the
bottom, lift up the switch briefly.
To open or to close a window with the
passenger's door switch, push the top part
of the switch or lift up the top part of the
switch respectively.

can not be raised or lowered by operating
either of the switches 2 or 3. To restore
normal operation, push the switch again.

w WARNING
You should always push in the lock
switch when there are children in the
vehicle. Children can be seriously
injured if they get part of their body
caught by the window during
operation.
Since the electric windows consumes
a large amount of electricity, the same
should not be used excessively with
engine in “OFF” condition.

The adjustment lever for each front seat is
located under the front of the seat. To
adjust the seat position, pull up on the
adjustment lever and slide the seat forward
or rearward. After adjustment, try to move

w WARNING
To avoid excessive seat belt slack,
which reduces the effectiveness of the
seat belts as a safety device, make
sure that the seats are adjusted
before the seat belts are fastened.
Seatbacks should always be in an
upright position when driving, or seat
belt effectiveness may be reduced.
Seat belts are designed to offer
maximum protection when seatbacks
are in the fully upright position.
Front Seats
The seatbacks can be adjusted to different
angles. To adjust the seatback angle, pull
up the lever on the outboard side of the
seat, move the seatback to the desired
position, and release the lever to lock the
seatback in place.

IGNITION SWITCHThe ignition switch has the following four
positions:
Do not use any locally made key.
Should you require duplicate key,
place your order with MARUTI
SUZUKI dealer only.LOCK
This is the normal parking position. It is the
only position in which the key can be
removed.
The “LOCK” position locks the ignition, and
prevents normal use of the steering wheel
after the key is removed.
To release the steering lock, fully insert the
key and turn it clockwise to one of the other
positions. If you have trouble turning the
key to unlock the steering, try turning the
steering wheel slightly to the right or left
while turning the key. To avoid possible injury, do not operate
controls by reaching through the steering
wheel.
