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.

To turn the windscreen wipers on, move the
lever down to one of the three operating
positions. In the “INT” position, (if equipped)
the wipers operate intermittently. The “INT”
position is very convenient for driving in mist
or light rain. In the “LO” position the wipers
operate at a steady low speed. In the “HI”
position, the wipers operate at a steady high
speed. To turn off the wipers, move the
lever back to the “OFF” position.
