Gear Oil
Manual Transaxle Oil/
Auto Gear Shift OilWhen adding gear oil, use gear oil with the appropriate viscosity and grade as shown in the chart below.
We highly recommend you use: “MARUTI SUZUKI GEAR OIL 75W-80” formanual transaxle gear oil or Auto Gear Shift oil.
Manual transaxle oil (API GL-4)

(1) Oil filler and level plug
To check the gear oil level, use the follow- ing procedure:
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface with the parking brake applied. Then, stop the engine.2) Remove the oil filler plug (1). 3) Check the inside of the hole with your finger. If the oil level comes up to thebottom of the plug hole, the oil level is correct. If so, reinstall the plug. 4) If the oil level is low, add gear oilthrough the oil filler plug hole (1) until the oil level reaches the bottom of the filler hole, then reinstall the plug.

CAUTION
After driving the vehicle, the transaxle oil temperature may behigh enough to burn your skin. Wait until the oil filler plug is cool enough to touch with your bare hands beforeinspecting transaxle oil.
NOTICE
When tightening the plug, apply thefollowing sealing compound orequivalent to the plug threads to pre- vent oil leakage.

Measure the clutch pedal play by moving the clutch pedal with your hand and mea- suring the distance it moves until you feelslight resistance. The play in the clutch pedal should be between the specified val- ues. If the play is more or less than theabove, or clutch dragging is felt with the pedal fully depressed, have the clutch inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKIdealer.
Fluid Control Clutch (if equipped)
76MH034
Check the clutch pedal for smooth opera-tion and clutch fluid level from time to time.If clutch dragging is felt with the pedal fully depressed, have the clutch inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. If the clutchfluid level is near the “MIN” line, fill it up to the “MAX” line with Maruti genuine brake fluid.
Fuel Filter (Diesel engine)
76MH035
The fuel filter works as a water sedimentoras well.
Drain water according to the Periodic Maintenance Schedule. To drain water:1) Place a pan or ample rag under the fuel filter drain nozzle. 2) Loosen the drain screw (1). The waterwill be drained. 3) Tighten the drain screw when the water changes to the diesel fuel.4) Tighten the drain knob.
Tightening torque for drain screw 1.0 Nm (0.10 kg-m, 0.74 lb-ft)

“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.
NOTE: With disc brakes, the fluid level can beexpected to gradually fall as the brake pads wear.
Brake PedalCheck if the brake peda l stops at the regu- lar height without “spongy” feeling when you depress it. If not, have the brake sys- tem inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKIdealer. If you doubt the brake pedal for the regular height, check it as follows:
54G108
Pedal to floor car pet minimum dis- tance “a”: 66 mm (2.6 in.)
With the engine running, measure the dis- tance between the brake pedal and floorcarpet when the pedal is depressed with approximately 30 kg (66 lbs) of force. The minimum distance required is as specified.Since your vehicle’s brake system is self- adjusting, there is no need for pedal adjustment. If the pedal to floor carpet distance as measured above is less than the minimum distance required, have your vehicleinspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
WA R N I N G
Failure to follow the guidelines below can result in personal injury or seri-ous damage to the brake system. • If the brake fluid in the reservoir drops below a certain level, thebrake warning light on the instru- ment panel will come on (the engine must be running with theparking brake fully disengaged). Should the light come on, immedi- ately ask your MARUTI SUZUKIdealer to inspect the brake system. • A rapid fluid loss indicates a leak in the brake system which should beinspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer immediately. • Do not use any fluid other thanMaruti genuine brake fluid. Do not use reclaimed fluid or fluid that has been stored in old or open contain-ers. It is essential that foreign parti- cles and other liquids are kept out of the brake fluid reservoir.
CAUTION
Brake fluid can harm your eyes anddamage painted surfaces. Use cau- tion when refilling the reservoir.
WA R N I N G
Brake fluid is harmful or fatal if swal- lowed, and harmful if it comes in con-tact with skin or e yes. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Immediately contact a poison control center or aphysician. If brake fluid gets in eyes, flush eyes with water and seek medi- cal attention. Wash thoroughly afterhandling. Solution can be poisonous to animals. Keep out of the reach of children and animals.
