EMISSION WARRANTY POLICY
Maruti Suzuki offers the Emission Warranty on all Maruti Suzuki
vehicles (apart from the Regular Warranty and will run parallel to
the regular product warranty) only in four metropolitan cities (New
Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai and Chennai) with effect from July 1st,
2001.
Terms:The Emission Warranty will be applicable for 80,000 kms or 3
years (Whichever comes earlier) from the date of invoice to the
first owner. The remaining warranty terms will be valid in case of
any change in ownership provided the production of all valid docu-
ments.
Conditions:1. Under Emission Warranty, Warranty claims will be admitted for
a prima facie examination, in case vehicle fails to meet the
Emission Standard as specified in sub rule (2) of rule no. 115
of Central Motor Vehicles Rules (CMVR), 1989.
2. The warranty claims will only be accepted after examination
carried out by Maruti Suzuki or it’s dealer which leads to firm
conclusions that the
a) Original settings have not been tampered in any case.
b) Part (as given in Annexure - A) has a manufacturing defect.
c) Vehicle is unable to meet the Emission Standards (as given
in 1.), inspite of the vehicle having been maintained and

Front Air Bag (Driver side)
53M-04-051
53M-04-052
The driver’s front air bag is located behind
the center pad of the steering wheel. The
word “SRS AIRBAG” is molded into the air
bag cover to identify the location of the air
bag.Frontal collision range
53M-04-053
Front air bag is designed to inflate in
severe frontal collisions.
Conditions of front air bags deployment
(inflation)
53M-04-054
In frontal collisions with a fixed wall that
does not move or deform in more than
about 25 km/h (15 mph).
53M-04-055
In collisions such as above at an angle of
about 30 degrees (1) or less from the
front.
Conditions of front air bags may inflate
Receiving a strong impact to the lower
body of your vehicle, the front air bags will
inflate in many cases.

Door Lock Canceller System
(if equipped)
If SRS Airbag system is activated all doors
are unlocked automatically.
NOTE:
In case door lock wiring and/or motor are
damaged, doors may not unlock automati-
cally.
How the system works
In a frontal collision, the crash sensors will
detect rapid deceleration, and if the con-
troller judges that the deceleration rep-
resents a severe frontal crash, the
controller will trigger the inflators. The infla-
tors inflate the air bags with nitrogen or
argon gas. The inflated air bags provide a
cushion for your head and upper body. The
air bag inflates and deflates so quickly that
you may not even realize that it has acti-vated. The air bag will neither hinder your
view nor make it harder to exit the vehicle.
Air bags must inflate quickly and forcefully
in order to reduce the chance of serious or
fatal injuries. However, an unavoidable
consequence of the quick inflation is that
the air bag may irritate bare skin, such as
the facial area. Also, upon inflation, a loud
noise will occur and some powder and
smoke will be released. These conditions
are not harmful and do not indicate a fire in
the vehicle. Be aware, however, that some
air bag components may be hot for a while
after inflation.
A seat belt helps keep you in the proper
position for maximum protection when an
air bag inflates. Adjust your seat as far
back as possible while still maintaining
control of the vehicle. Sit fully back in your
seat; sit up straight; do not lean over the
steering wheel. Please refer to the “Front
Seat” section and the “Seat Belts and
Child Restraint Systems” section in this
section for details on proper seat and seat
belt adjustments.
WA R N I N G
Do not use a restraint on a seat pro-
tected by an airbag in front of it.
EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
If the AIR BAG light in the instrument
cluster ever comes on and stays on,
it means that something may be
wrong with the air bag system. If this
ever happens, have the vehicle ser-
viced immediately, because the air
bags may not offer the protection for
which they were designed.

Note that even though your vehicle may be
moderately damaged in a frontal collision,
the collision may not have been severeenough to trigger the air bags to inflate. If
your vehicle sustains ANY front-end dam-
age, have the air bag system inspected by
an MARUTI SUZUKI authorized dealer to
ensure it is in proper working order.
Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnostic
module which records information about
the air bag system if the air bags deploy in
a crash. The module records information
about overall system status, which sensors
activated the deployment, and for a certain
vehicle only, whether the driver’s seat belt
was in use.
Servicing the air bag system
If the air bags inflate, have the air bags and
related components replaced by an autho-
rized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer as soon as
possible.
If your vehicle ever gets in deep water and
the driver’s floor is submerged, the air bag
controller could be damaged. If it does,
have the air bag system inspected by the
MARUTI SUZUKI dealer as soon as possi-
ble.
Special procedures are required for servic-
ing or replacing an air bag. For that reason,
only an authorized MARUTI SUZUKI
dealer should be allowed to service or
replace your air bags. Please remind any-
one who services your MARUTI SUZUKI
that it has air bag.
Service on or around air bag components
or wiring must be performed only by an
MARUTI SUZUKI authorized dealer.
Improper service could result in unin-tended air bag deployment or could render
the air bag inoperative. Either of these two
conditions may result in severe injury.
To prevent damage or unintended inflation
of the air bag system, be sure the battery
is disconnected and the ignition switch has
been in the “LOCK” position for at least 90
seconds before performing any electrical
service work on your MARUTI SUZUKI. Do
not touch air bag system components or
wires. The wires are wrapped with yellow
tape or yellow tubing, and the couplers are
yellow for easy identification.
Scrapping a vehicle that has an uninflated
air bag can be hazardous. Ask your dealer,
body repair shop or scrap yard for help
with disposal.
WA R N I N G
• The driver should not lean over the
steering wheel. In these situations,
the out-of-position occupant would
be too close to an inflating air bag,
and may suffer severe injury.
• Do not attach any objects to, or
place any objects over, the steering
wheel. Do not place any objects
between the air bag and the driver.
These objects may interfere with air
bag operation or may be propelled
by the air bag in the event of a
crash. Either of these conditions
may cause severe injury.

Warning and Indicator Lights
Brake System Warning Light
53M-04-072
Three different types of operations exist
depending on the vehicle’s specification.
1) The light comes on briefly when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position.
2) The light comes on when the parking
brake is engaged with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position.
3) The light comes on when under either
or both of above two conditions.
The light also comes on when the fluid in
the brake fluid reservoir falls below the
specified level.
The light should go out after starting the
engine and fully releasing the parking
brake, if the fluid level in the brake fluid res-
ervoir is adequate.
The light also comes on together with the
ABS warning light when the rear brake
force control function (proportioning valve
function) of the ABS system fails.
If the brake system warning light comes on
while you are driving the vehicle, it maymean that there is something wrong with
the vehicle’s brake system. If this happens,
you should:
1) Pull off the road and stop carefully.
2) Test the brakes by carefully starting and
stopping at the side of the road.
– If you determine that it is safe, drive
carefully at low speed to the nearest
dealer for repairs, or
– Have the vehicle towed to the nearest
dealer for repairs.
NOTE:
Because the disc brake system is self-
adjusting, the fluid level will drop as the
brake pads become worn. Replenishing
the brake fluid reservoir is considered nor-
mal periodic maintenance.
Seat Belt Warning Light
(if equipped)
53M-04-073
WA R N I N G
Remember that stopping distance
may be longer, you may have to push
harder on the pedal, and the pedal
may go down farther than normal.
WA R N I N G
If any of the following conditions
occur, you should immediately ask
your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer to
inspect the brake system.
• If the brake system warning light
does not go out after the engine
has been started and the parking
brake has been fully released.
• If the brake system warning light
does not come on when the igni-
tion switch is turned to the “ON”
position.
• If the brake system warning light
comes on at any time during vehi-
cle operation.

Daily Inspection Checklist
Before Driving
60A187S
1) Make sure that windows, mirrors, lights,
and reflectors are clean and unob-
structed.
2) Visually check the tires for the following
points:
– the depth of the tread groove
– abnormal wear, cracks and damage
– loose wheel nuts
– existence of foreign material such as
nails, stones, etc.
Refer to “Tires” in “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section for details.
3) Look for fluid and oil leaks.
NOTE:
It is normal for water to drip from the air
conditioning system during use.WA R N I N G
Avoid breathing exhaust gases.
Exhaust gases contain carbon mon-
oxide, a potentially lethal gas that is
colorless and odorless. Since carbon
monoxide is difficult to detect by
itself, be sure to take the following
precautions to help prevent carbon
monoxide from entering your vehicle.
• Do not leave the engine running in
garages or other confined areas.
(Continued)
EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
• Do not park with the engine run-
ning for a long period of time, even
in an open area. If it is necessary to
sit for a short time in a parked vehi-
cle with the engine running, make
sure the air intake selector is set to
“FRESH AIR” and the fan is at high
speed.
• Avoid operating the vehicle with
the tailgate or trunk open. If it is
necessary to operate the vehicle
with the tailgate or trunk open,
make sure all windows are closed,
and the blower is at high speed
with the air intake selector set to
“FRESH AIR”.
• To allow proper operation of your
vehicle’s ventilation system, keep
the air inlet grille in front of the
windshield clear of snow, leaves, or
other obstructions at all times.
• Keep the exhaust tailpipe area clear
of snow and other material to help
reduce the buildup of exhaust
gases under the vehicle. This is
particularly important when parked
in blizzard conditions.
• Have the exhaust system inspected
periodically for damage and leaks.
Any damage or leaks should be
repaired immediately.
