WA R N I N G
You should take extreme care when working on your vehicle to preventaccidental injury. Here are a few pre- cautions that you should be espe- cially careful to observe:(Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)• To prevent damage or unintendedactivation of the air bag system be sure the battery is disconnected and the ignition switch has been inthe “LOCK” position for at least 90 seconds before performing any electrical service work on yourMARUTI SUZUKI. Do not touch air bag system components, or wires. The wires are wrapped with yellowtape or yellow tubing, and the cou- plers are yellow for easy identifica- tion.• Do not leave the engine running in garages or other confined areas. • When the engine is running, keephands, clothing, tools, and other objects away from the fan and drive belt. Even though the fan may notbe moving, it can automatically turn on without warning. • When it is necessary to do servicework with the engine running, make sure that the parking brake is set fully and the transaxle is in Neutral.• Do not touch ignition wires or other ignition system parts when start- ing the engine or when the engineis running, or you could receive an electric shock. (Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)• Be careful not to touch a hotengine, exhaust manifold and pipes, muffler, radiator and water hoses.• Do not allow smoking, sparks, or flames around fuel or the battery. Flammable fumes are present.• Do not get under your vehicle if it is supported only with the portable jack provided in your vehicle.• Be careful not to cause accidental short circuits be tween the positive and negative battery terminals.• Keep used oil, coolant, and other fluids away from children and pets. Dispose of used fluids properly;never pour them on the ground, into sewers, etc.

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)
68LM728
Gear Oil Level Check
68KH073
(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.
Manual transaxle sealant: MARUTI SUZUKI Bond No. “1216E” or “1217G”

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.

Parking Brake
54G109
Ratchet tooth speci fication “b”: 4th – 9th Lever pull force (1): 200 N (20 kg, 45 lbs)
Check the parking brake for proper adjust- ment by counting the number of clicksmade by the ratchet teeth as you slowly pull up on the parking brake lever to the point of full engagement. The parkingbrake lever should stop between the speci- fied ratchet teeth and the rear wheels should be securely locked. If the parkingbrake is not properly adjusted or the brakes drag after the lever has been fully released, have the parking brake inspectedand/or adjusted by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
Steering
68LM708
Steering wheel play “c”: 0 – 30 mm (0.0 – 1.2 in.)
Check the play of the steering wheel by gently turning it from left to right and mea-suring the distance that it moves before you feel slight resistance. The play should be between the specified values.
Check that the steering wheel turns easily and smoothly without rattling by turning itall the way to the right and to the left while driving very slowly in an open area. If the amount of free play is outside the specifi-cation or you find anything else to be wrong, an inspection must be performed by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
WA R N I N G
If you experience any of the following problems with your vehicle’s brake system, have the vehicle inspectedimmediately by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. • Poor braking performance• Uneven braking (brakes not work- ing uniformly on all wheels.) • Excessive pedal travel• Brake dragging • Excessive noise • Pedal pulsation (pedal pulsateswhen depressed.)
