Improving Fuel Economy
The following instructions will help you improve fuel economy.
Avoid excessive idling If you are to wait for more than a minutewhile you are parked, stop the engine and start it again later. When warming up a cold engine, do not allow the engine to idleor apply full throttle until the engine has reached operating temperature. Allow the engine to warm up by driving.
Avoid “fast” starts Fast starts away from lights or stop signs will consume fuel unnecessarily andshorten engine life. Start off slowly.
Avoid unnecessary stops Avoid unnecessary deceleration and stop- ping. Try to maintain a slow, steady speed whenever possible. Slowing down and thenaccelerating again uses more fuel.
Keep a steady cruising speed Keep as constant a speed as road and traf- fic conditions will permit.
Keep the air cleaner clean
60A183S
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there will be greater intake resistance, resulting in decreased power output and increased fuel consumption.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging catalyst or othervehicle damage:• Maintain the engine in the properoperating condition.• In the event of an engine malfunc-tion, particularly one involving engine misfiring or other apparent loss of performance, have the vehi-cle serviced promptly.• Do not turn off the engine or inter-rupt the ignition when the transaxleis in gear and the vehicle is in motion.• Do not try to start the engine bypushing or towing the vehicle, orcoasting down a hill.• Do not idle the engine with anyspark plug wires disconnected orremoved, such as during diagnos- tic testing.• Do not idle the vehicle for pro-longed periods if idling seemsrough or there are other malfunc-tions.• Do not allow the fuel tank to getnear the empty level.• Avoid driving your vehicle atexcessively high engine speed inor around the red zone of thetachometer (if equipped).
WA R N I N G
Be careful in areas where you parkand drive; the catalytic converter and other exhaust components can get very hot. As with any vehicle, do not park or operate this vehicle in areas where combustible materials such asdry grass or leaves can come in con- tact with a hot exhaust system.

WA R N I N G
Always be sure to replace a blown fuse with a fuse of the correct amper- age. Never use a substitute such as aluminum foil or wire to replace ablown fuse. If you replace a fuse and the new one blows in a short period of time, you may have a major electri-cal problem. Have your vehicle inspected immediately by your MAR- UTI SUZUKI dealer.
BLOWN OK
CAUTION
• Light bulbs can be hot enough toburn 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 withpressurized halogen gas. They can burst and injure you if they are hit or dropped. Handle them carefully.
NOTICE
The oils from your skin may cause ahalogen bulb to overheat and burst when the lights are on. Grasp a new bulb with a clean cloth.
NOTICE
Frequent replacement of a bulb indi-cates the need for an inspection of the electrical system. This should be carried out by your MARUTI SUZUKIdealer.

Insert a piece of cloth between the spokes of the wheel cover and try to pull the cover outward (as shown in figure). Take out thedetached wheel cover from the wheel rim. For installation first match the slot at the wheel cover with the air filling nozzle of the wheel. Apply equal pressure at the circum- ference of the wheel cover to fix it in thewheel rim.

When installing the cover, make sure that itis positioned so that it does not cover orfoul the air valve.
Jump Starting Instructions
When Jump Starting Your Vehicle,
Use the Following Procedure:1) Use only a 12-volt battery to jump start your vehicle. Position the good 12-volt battery close to your vehicle so that thejump leads will reach both batteries. When using a battery installed on another vehicle, DO NOT LET THEVEHICLES TOUCH. Set the parking brakes fully on both vehicles. 2) Turn off all vehicle accessories, exceptthose necessary for safety reasons (for example, headlights or hazard lights).

WA R N I N G
• Never attempt to jump start your vehicle if the battery appears to be frozen. Batteries in this condition may explode or rupture if jumpstarting is attempted. • When making jump lead connec- tions, be certain that your handsand the jump leads remain clear from pulleys, belts, or fans. • Batteries produce flammablehydrogen gas. Keep flames and sparks away from the battery or an explosion may occur. Never smokewhen working in the vicinity of the battery. • If the booster battery you use forjump starting is installed in another vehicle, make sure the two vehicles are not touching each other.• If your battery discharges repeat- edly, for no apparent reason, have your vehicle inspected by anauthorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. • To avoid harm to yourself or dam- age to your vehicl e or battery, fol- low the jump starting instructions below precisely and in order. If you are in doubt, call for qualifiedroad service.
NOTICE
Your vehicle should not be started bypushing or towing. This startingmethod could result in permanent damage to the ca talytic converter. Use jump leads to start a vehicle witha weak or flat battery.

If the Starter Does Not
Operate
1) Try turning the ignition switch to the “START” position with the headlights turned on to determine the battery con- dition. If the headlights go excessivelydim or go off, it usually means that either the battery is flat or the battery terminal contact is poor. Recharge thebattery or correct battery terminal con- tact as necessary. 2) If the headlights remain bright, checkthe fuses. If the reason for failure of the starter is not obvious, there may be a major electrical problem. Have the vehi-cle inspected by your authorized MAR- UTI SUZUKI dealer.
If the Engine is Flooded
If the engine is flooded with petrol, it may be hard to start. If this happens, press theaccelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it there while cranking the engine. For petrol engine model, do not operatethe starter motor for more than 12 sec- onds. For diesel engine model, do not operatethe starter motor for more than 30 sec- onds.
If the Engine Overheats
The engine could overheat temporarily under severe driving conditions. If the highengine coolant temperature warning light comes on as overheating during driving: 1) Turn off the air conditioner, if equipped.2) Take the vehicle to a safe place and park. 3) Let the engine run at the normal idlespeed for a few minutes until the high engine coolant temperature warning light goes off.
If the high engine coolant temperature warning light does not go off: 1) Turn off the engine and check that the water pump belt and pulleys are notdamaged or slipping. If any abnormality is found, correct it.
2) Check the coolant level in the reservoir. If it is found to be lower than the “LOW” line, look for leaks at the radiator, waterpump, and radiator and heater hoses. If you locate any leaks that may have caused the overheating, do not run theengine until these problems have been corrected. 3) If you do not find a leak, carefully addcoolant to the reservoir and then the radiator, if necessary. (Refer to “Engine Coolant” in the “INSPECTION ANDMAINTENANCE” section.)
NOTE: If your engine overheats and you are unsure what to do, contact your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
WA R N I N G
If you see or hear escaping steam,stop the vehicle in a safe place andimmediately turn off the engine to let it cool. Do not open the hood when steam is present. When the steamcan no longer be seen or heard, open the hood to see if the coolant is still boiling. If it is, you must wait until itstops boiling before you proceed.
