INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE9-13Replace the oil filter
1) Using an oil filter wrench, turn the oilfilter counterclockwise and remove it.
2) Using a clean rag, wipe off the mounting surface on the engine where the new
filter will be seated.
3) Smear a little engine oil around the rubber gasket of the new oil filter.
4) Screw on the new filter by hand until the filter gasket contacts the mounting
surface.
To tighten the oil filter properly, it is
important to accurately identify the
position at which the filter gasket
first contacts the mounting surface.
5. Tighten the filter specified turn from the point of contact with the mounting sur-
face (or to the specified torque) using an
oil filter wrench.
Tightening torque for oil filter
1 turn or
14 Nm (1.4 kg-m, 10.5 lb-ft)
CAUTION
Refill with oil and check for leaks.
1) Pour oil through the filler hole and install the filler cap.
For the approximate capacity of the oil,
refer to the "CAPACITIES" item in the
"SPECIFICATIONS" section.
2) Start the engine and look carefully for leaks at the oil filter and drain plug. Run
the engine at various speeds for at least
5 minutes.
3) Stop the engine and wait for 5 minutes. Check the oil level again and add oil if
necessary. Check for leaks again.
When replacing the oil filter, it is
recommended that you use a genuine
MARUTI replacement filter.
Oil leaks from around the oil filter or
drain plug indicate incorrect installa-
tion or gasket damage. If you find any
leaks or are not sure that the filter
has been properly tightened, have the
vehicle inspected by your MARUTI
SUZUKI dealer.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE9-21NOTE:If you experience some firing problem of
spark plugs, such as, hard engine-starting,misfire etc., the cause may be located notonly on spark plugs but also on deteriorated
ignition wiring (generally, used for more than80,000 km or five years). If spark plugreplacement does not solve the problem,
have the ignition wiring and other ignitionsystem inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKIdealer.

BRAKESBrake Fluid
Check the brake fluid level by looking at the
reservoir in the engine compartment. Check
that the fluid level is between the “MAX”
and “MIN” lines. If the brake fluid level is
near the “MIN” line, fill it up to the “MAX”
line with MARUTI GENUINE brake fluid.
Failure to follow the guidelines below
can result in personal injury or
serious damage to the brake system.
If the brake fluid in the reservoir drops below a certain level, the
brake warning light on the
instrument panel will come on (the

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE9-29To avoid harm to yourself or damage
to your vehicle or battery, follow the
jump starting instructions in the
EMERGENCY SERVICE section of this
manual if it is necessary to jump start
your vehicle.
The level of the battery solution must be
kept between the “MAX” and the “MIN” level
lines at all times. If the level is found to be
below the “MIN” level line, add distilled
water to the “MAX” level line. You should
periodically check the battery, battery
terminals, and battery hold-down bracket for
corrosion. Remove corrosion using a stiff
brush and ammonia mixed with water, or
baking soda mixed with water. After
removing corrosion, rinse with clean water.
If your vehicle is not going to be driven for
a month or longer, disconnect the cable from
the negative terminal of the battery to help
prevent discharge.

Main Fuse and Primary Fuses
The main fuse and primary fuses are
located in the engine compartment. If the
main fuse blows, no electrical component
will function. If a primary fuse blows, no
electrical component in the corresponding
load group will function. When replacing the
main fuse or a primary fuse, use a MARUTI
genuine replacement.
If the main fuse or a primary fuse
blows, be sure to have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized MARUTI
SUZUKI dealer. Always use a MARUTI
genuine replacement. Never use a

JUMP STARTING INSTRUCTIONS Never attempt to jump start yourvehicle if the battery appears to be
frozen. Batteries in this condition
may explode or rupture if jump
starting is attempted.
When making jump lead connections, be certain that your
hands and the jump leads remain
clear from pulleys, belts, or fans.
Batteries produce flammable hydrogen gas. Keep flames and
sparks away from the battery or an
explosion may occur. Never smoke
when working in the vicinity of the
battery.
If the booster battery you use for jump starting is installed in another
vehicle, make sure the two vehicles
are not touching each other.
If your battery discharges repeatedly, for no apparent reason,
have your vehicle inspected by an
authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
To avoid harm to yourself or damage to your vehicle or battery,
follow the jump starting instructions
below precisely and in order. If you
are in doubt, call MARUTI SUZUKI
authorized workshop.

Vehicle equipped with electronic fuelinjection system will not start by
pushing or towing as the fuel pump
will not work in this condition. This
starting method could also result in
permanent damage to the catalytic
converter. Use jump leads to start a
vehicle with a weak or flat battery. When jump starting your vehicle, use the
following procedure:
1) Use only a 12 volt battery to jump start
your vehicle. Position the good 12V
battery close to your vehicle so that the
jump leads will reach both batteries.
When using a battery installed on
another vehicle, DO NOT LET THE
VEHICLES TOUCH. Apply the parking
brakes fully on both vehicles.
2) Turn off all vehicle accessories, except those necessary for safety reasons (for
example, headlights or hazard lights). 3) Make jump lead connections as follows:
a) Connect one end of the first jumplead to the positive (+) terminal of the
flat battery.
b) Connect the other end to the positive
(+) terminal of the booster battery.
c) Connect one end of the second jump lead to the negative (-) terminal of
the booster battery.
d) Make the final connection to an unpainted, heavy metal part of the
engine of the vehicle with the flat
battery.
Never connect the jump lead directly
to the negative (-) terminal of the
discharged battery, or an explosion
may occur.
4) If the booster battery you are using is fitted to another vehicle, start the engine
of the vehicle with the booster battery.
Run the engine at moderate speed.
5) Start the engine of the vehicle with the flat battery.
6) Remove the jump leads in the exact reverse order in which you connected
them.EMERGENCY SERVICE10-3
