Use MARUTI Genuine wheel nuts and
tighten them to the specified torque
as soon as possible after changing
wheels. Incorrect wheel nuts or
improperly tightened wheel nuts may
come loose or fall off, which can
result in an accident. If you do not
have a torque wrench, have the wheel
nut torque checked by a MARUTI
SUZUKI authorized dealer.

Tubeless Tyres (If equipped)
The vehicle is equipped with Tubeless
Tyres. In tubeless tyre, a thin layer of butyl
rubber is used for lining the inside of the
tubeless tyre. This layer is to prevent air
loss and fulfilling the purpose of tube. The
air pressure is maintained by the sealing
between tyre bead and wheel rim. Tubeless
tyres are having advantage of slow air loss
and preventing sudden deflation while
driving.
Care and maintenance tips for tubeless
tyres
1. Always maintain recommended inflation
pressure. Driving continously at low
inflation pressure can lead to tyre dam-
age.
2. In case any leakage is found, check for any nail penetration/valve core damage
or rim bent. Damaged wheel must not
be used.
3. In case tyre has run at low pressue, it must be inspected for any defect.
4. Whenver new tyre is fitted, replace the valve.
5. If continous high speed driving is required, increase tyres pressure by 5
psi over recommended inflation pressure.

6. Never run the tyre beyond TWI (Treadwear indicator). The tyre is recommen-
ded to be replaced when the remaining
tread has worn to this point. The indica-
tors are spaced across the tread around
the tyre marked by a triagular symbol
(TWI).
7. Always prefer tubeless tyre mounting machine. In case of manual mounting-
tyre/wheel rim damage may occur.
8. In case of any problem, please get in touch with MARUTI SUZUKI authorised
dealer.

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.

fuse with a fuse of the correct
amperage. Never use a substitute
such as aluminium foil or wire to
replace a blown fuse. If you replace
a fuse and the new one blows in a
short period of time, you may have a
major electrical problem. Have your
vehicle inspected immediately by your
MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.NOTE:Make sure that the fuse box always carriesspare fuses.

BULB REPLACEMENT Light bulbs can be hot enough to
burn your finger right after being
turned off. This is true especially for
halogen headlight bulbs. Replace the
bulbs after they become cool
enough.
The headlight bulbs are filled with pressurized halogen gas. They can
burst and injure you if they are hit
or dropped. Handle them carefully.
The oils from your skin may cause a
halogen bulb to overheat and burst
when the lights are on. Grasp a new
bulb with a clean cloth.
Frequent replacement of a bulb
indicates the need for an inspection of
the electrical system. This should be
carried out by your MARUTI SUZUKI
dealer.
