IGNITION SWITCHThe ignition switch has the following four
positions: Do not use any locally made key.
Should you require duplicate key, place your order with MARUTI
SUZUKI dealer only. LOCK
This is the normal parking position. It is the
only position in which the key can be
removed.
The “LOCK” position locks the ignition, and
prevents normal use of the steering wheel
after the key is removed.
To release the steering lock, fully insert the
key and turn it clockwise to one of the other
positions. If you have trouble turning the
key to unlock the steering, try turning the
steering wheel slightly to the right or left
while turning the key.
To avoid possible injury, do not operate
controls by reaching through the steering
wheel.

Windscreen Wipers
To turn the windscreen wipers on, move the
lever down to one of the three operating
positions. In the “INT” position, (if equipped)
the wipers operate intermittently. The “INT”
position is very convenient for driving in mist
or light rain. In the “LO” position the wipers
operate at a steady low speed. In the “HI”
position, the wipers operate at a steady high
speed. To turn off the wipers, move the
lever back to the “OFF” position.

your vehicle could otherwise become a

lever will return to its normal position when
you release it.

HORN
To prevent damage to the windscreen
wiper and washer system components,
you should take the following
precautions: Do not continue to hold in the lever when there is no windscreen washer
fluid being sprayed or the washer
motor can be damaged.
Do not attempt to remove dirt from
a dry windscreen with the wipers or
you can damage the windscreen and
the wiper blades. Always wet the
windscreen with washer fluid before
operating the wipers.
Clear ice or packed snow from the wiper blades before using the
wipers.
Check the washer fluid level regularly. Check it often when the
weather is bad.
Only fill the washer fluid reservoir 3/4 full during cold weather to allow
room for expansion if the
temperature falls low enough to
freeze the solution. Press the horn button of the steering wheel
to sound the horn. The horn will sound with
the ignition switch in any position.

Windscreen Washer
To spray windscreen washer fluid, pull the
lever toward you. The windscreen wipers
will automatically turn on at low speed if
they are not already on and the "INT"
position is equipped.
To prevent windscreen icing in cold weather, turn on the defroster to heat
the windscreen before and during
windscreen washer use.
Do not use radiator antifreeze in the windscreen washer reservoir. It can
severely impair visibility when
sprayed on the windscreen, and can
also damage your vehicle’s paint.
