Turn Signal OperationWith the ignition switch in the “ON” posi- tion, move the lever up or down to activate the right or left turn signals.
Normal turn signal
60MK013
Move the lever all the way upward or down- ward to signal. When the turn is com-pleted, the signal will cancel and the lever will return to its normal position.
Lane change signal
60MK014
Sometimes, such as when changing lanes, the steering wheel is not turned far enough
to cancel the turn signal. For convenience, you can flash the turn signal by moving the lever part way and holding it there. Thelever will return to its normal position when you release it.
NOTE: The turn signal and its indicator flash three times even if you return the lever immedi-ately after moving it.
NOTE: The turn signal and its indicator can be set whether they flash three times after the turn signal lever is returned via the infor-mation display. Refer to “Information Dis-play” in this section.
NOTE: You can customize the setting for the num- ber of times of flashing of the turn signaland its indicator. Please ask an authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer for the customiza- tion.

Wiper and Washer Operation When the ignition switch is in the “ON”position, you can use the wiper/washer lever or switch (if equipped).
Windshield Wipers
76MH0A049
To turn the windshield wipers on, move the lever down to one of the three operating positions. In the “INT” position, the wipers operate intermittently. The “INT” position isvery convenient for driving in mist or light rain. In the “LO” position, the wipers oper- ate at a steady low speed. In the “HI” posi-tion, the wipers operate at a steady high speed. To turn off the wipers, move the lever back to the “OFF” position.Move the lever up and hold it to the “MIST” position, the windshield wipers will turn on continuously at low speed.

NOTE: It is normal for water to drip from the air conditioning system after use.
4) Make sure the hood is fully closed and latched.5) Check the headlights, turn signal lights, brake lights and horn for proper opera- tion.6) Adjust the seat and head restraint (if equipped). 7) Check the brake pedal and the parkingbrake lever. 8) Adjust the mirrors. 9) Make sure that you and all passengershave properly fastened your seat belts. 10)Make sure that all warning lights come on as the key is turned to the “ON” posi-tion. 11)Check all gauges. 12)Make sure that the BRAKE SYSTEMWARNING light turns off when the parking brake is released.
Once a week, or each time you fill your fuel tank, perform the following under-hood checks:
1) Engine oil level 2) Coolant level3) Brake fluid level 4) Windshield washer fluid level 5) Battery solution level6) Hood latch operation Pull the hood release handle inside the vehicle. Make sure that you cannotopen the hood all the way without
releasing the secondary latch. Be sure to close the hood securely after check- ing for proper latch operation. See “Alllatches, hinges & locks” of “CHASSIS AND BODY” in the “Periodic Mainte- nance Schedule” in the “INSPECTIONAND MAINTENANCE” section for lubri- cation schedule.
Once a month, or each time you fill your fuel tank, check the tire pressure using a tire pressure gauge. Also check the tirepressure of the spare tire.
Engine Oil Consumption
It is normal for the engine to consume some engine oil during normal vehicle operation.
The amount of engine oil consumed depends on the viscosity of the oil, thequality of the oil and the conditions the vehicle is driven under. More oil is consumed during high-speeddriving and when there is frequent acceler- ation and deceleration. Under high loads, your engine also will consume more oil.A new engine also consumes more oil, since its pistons, piston rings and cylinder
walls have not yet become conditioned. New engines reach the normal level of oil consumption only after approximately 5000km (3000 miles) driving.
Oil consumption: Max. 1.0 L per 1000 km (1 Qt. per 600 miles)
When judging the amount of oil consump- tion, note that the oil may become diluted and make it difficult to accurately judge thetrue oil level. As an example, if a vehicle is used for repeated short trips, and consumes a nor-mal amount of oil, the dipstick may not show any drop in the oil level at all, even after 1000 km (600 miles) or more of driv-ing. This is because the oil is gradually becoming diluted with fuel or moisture, making it appear that the oil level has notchanged. You should also be aware that the diluting ingredients evaporate out when the vehicleis subsequently driven at high speeds, such as on an expressway, making it appear that oil is excessively consumedafter high-speed driving.
WA R N I N G
Make sure the hood is fully closed and latched before driv ing. If it is not, it can fly up unexpectedly duringdriving, obstructing your view and resulting in an accident.

Battery Installation
Install a lithium battery (CR2025) with the poles facing the correct direction.
Battery replacement timing When battery power is depleted, the but-ton may not be operable. If the remote controller does not operate, replace the battery and check the operation.
Caution on battery Be sure to follow the instructions to pre- vent battery leakage, over-heating, igni- tion or explosion.
If battery leakage has occurred, wipe the container first then install a new battery. If the battery solution contacts the skin, wash off with water completely.
Caution on Remote Controller Do not leave the remote controller in anarea exposed to direct sunlight, such as on the dashboard or steering wheel. The remote controller may deform becauseof the heat, (Be especially careful of the dashboard exposed to direct sunlight in the summer, as it will become extremelyhot). When the vehicle is parked in an area exposed to direct sunlight, Ensure theremote controller is placed in an area not exposed to direct sunlight. For example: Glove box.Under direct sunlight , signal reception from the remote controller weakens. If this happens, hold the remote controllerclose to the signal receptor on the front panel.
WA R N I N G
• Do not expose the battery to flame. Do not short circuit, disassemble,or heat the battery. • Do not charge the battery. • Use the specified type battery.• Keep the button-shaped battery away from children to prevent acci- dental swallowing.If the battery is swallowed, contact a doctor immediately.
CAUTION
• Install the battery with the poles facing the correct direction.• When not in use for a long period of time, or if the battery is dead, remove the battery from the remotecontroller.
