If the gearshift lever is in the “M” posi- tion, the gear will be downshifted to 1st when the vehicle stops.
Parking Unlike an automatic transaxle, Auto GearShift does not have a parking position. The vehicle can be parked with the gearshift lever in any position.1) Apply the parking brake firmly. 2) While depressing the brake pedal, shift the gearshift lever to the “R” position ona downhill slope, and to the 1st position in the drive (D) mode or the “M(1)” posi- tion in the manual (M) mode on anuphill slope and confirm the gear posi- tion by checking the gear position indi- cator.3) Stop the engine.
NOTE: • After the engine is stopped, the gear in the transaxle does not change even ifyou shift the gearshift lever in any posi- tion. Always shift the gearshift lever before stop the engine.• Check the transaxle gear position by looking at the gear position indicator, then turn the ignition switch off to stopthe engine. Release the brake pedal after a few seconds. The gearshift lever will be locked in the position it was inwhen the ignition switch was turned off.
Parking cancel Depress the brake pedal, turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position, and shift thegearshift lever to the “N” position. The gear will be disengaged.
WA R N I N G
• When stopping, for example, at a traffic light, be su re to depress the brake pedal firmly. For your safety, apply the parking brake, too, when stopping on a hill.• When racing the engine, make sure that the gear is in the “N” position by checking the gear position indi- cator. If the accelerator is operated with the gear in any other position, the vehicle may move resulting inan unexpected accident. • Do not leave your vehicle unat- tended while the engine is running.• When leaving the vehicle, stop the engine and park the vehicle with a gear engaged. If you need to leavethe vehicle with the engine running, apply the parking brakes firmly, and shift the gearshift lever to the“N” position. Otherwise, the vehi- cle may move unexpectedly and may cause an accident.
NOTICE
• On a slope, never hold the vehicleat a stop using only the acceleratorpedal or the creeping function. If you perform this operation for a certain period of time, a warningbuzzer will sound, and in some cases the engine will stall. This can also cause excessive damage tothe clutch. • If the gearshift lever is operated more than necessary, the systemmay not allow operation of the gearshift lever for a certain period of time, and the gear may not beshifted appropriately. Therefore, do not operate the gearshift lever if not necessary.
WA R N I N G
• If the gear is not engaged properlyand completely be fore the ignition switch is turned off, the vehicle may not be parked with the gearengaged. Always confirm the gear position by checking the gear posi- tion indicator when parking.• On a downhill slope, the gear should be put in reverse, and in 1st gear on an uphill slope. Otherwise,the vehicle may move, and cause an unexpected accident. If the gear is left in the “N” position, the vehi-cle cannot be parked with a gear engaged.

Warning functions A warning buzzer will sound or the indica- tor will blink under the following conditions.
Warning buzzer The clutch is heated due to excessiveload. The creeping function is being activated for a long period of time.
The ignition switch is turned to the “LOCK” position with the gear in 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th. In this case, turn the igni- tion switch to the “ON” position and shiftthe gearshift lever in the “N” position, shift it to the “D” or “M” or “R” position, then turn the ignition switch to “LOCK”. During a stop, the driver’s door is opened with the gearshift lever in the “R”, “D” or “M” positi on while the engine is running.
“N” indicato r blinking When the gear indicator lamp blinks “N”, you should depress the brake pedal and shift the gearshift lever to “N” position.
“1st” indicator blinking
When the gear indicator lamp blinks “1st”, you should depress the brake pedal and shift the gearshift lever to “N” position, thenshift to “D” or “M” position again a few sec- onds later.
“R” indicator blinking When the gear indicator lamp blinks “R”, you should depress the brake pedal andshift the gearshift lever to “N” position, then shift to “R” position again a few seconds later.
Braking
60G165S
The distance needed to bring any vehicleto a halt increases with the speed of the vehicle. The braking distance needed, for example, at 60 km/h (37 mph) will beapproximately 4 times greater than the braking distance needed at 30 km/h (19 mph). Start to brake the vehicle when thereis plenty of distance between your vehicle
and the stopping point, and slow down gradually.
Power-Assisted BrakesYour vehicle has power-assisted brakes. If power assistance is lost due to a stalledengine or other failur es, the system is still fully operational on reserve power and you can bring the vehicle to a complete stop bypressing the brake pedal once and holding it down. The reserve power is partly used up when you depress the brake pedal andreduces each time the pedal is pressed. Apply smooth and even pressure to the pedal. Do not pump the pedal.
NOTICE
In the above cases, pull over to theside of the road and stop the engine,and then ask your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer to inspect your vehicle. Other- wise, the clutch disc may be dam-aged.EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
If water gets into the brake drums, brake performance may become poorand unpredictable. After driving through water or washingthe underside of the vehicle, test thebrakes while driving at a slow speedto see if they have maintained their normal effectiveness. If the brakes are less effective than normal, dry themby repeatedly applying the brakeswhile driving slowly until the brakeshave regained their normal effective-ness.

Running-in Catalytic Converter
80G106
The purpose of the catalytic converter is to minimize the amount of harmful pollutantsin your vehicle’s exhaust. Use of leaded fuel in vehicles equipped with catalytic converters is prohibited, because leaddeactivates the pollutant-reducing compo- nents of the catalyst system.
The converter is designed to last the life of the vehicle under normal usage and when unleaded fuel is used. No special mainte-nance is required on the converter. How- ever, it is very important to keep the engine properly tuned. Engine misfiring, whichcan result from an improperly tuned engine, may cause overheating of the cat- alyst. This may result in permanent heatdamage to the catalyst and other vehicle components.
WA R N I N G
• Wear Your Seat Belts at All Times. Even though air bags are equippedat the front seating positions, the driver and all passengers should be properly restrained at all times,using the seat belts provided. Refer to the “Seat Belts and Child Restraint Systems” section forinstructions on proper use of the seat belts. • Never drive while under the influ-ence of alcohol or other drugs. Alcohol and drugs can seriously impair your ability to drive safely,greatly increasing the risk of injury to yourself and others. You should also avoid driving when you aretired, sick, irritated, or under stress.
NOTICE
The future performance and reliabil- ity of the engine depends on the care and restraint exercised during its early life. It is especially important toobserve the following precautions during the initial 960 km (600 miles) of vehicle operation.• After starting, do not race the engine. Warm it up gradually. • Avoid prolonged vehicle operationat a constant speed. Moving parts will break in better if you vary your speed.• Start off from a stop slowly. Avoid full throttle starts. • Avoid hard braking, especiallyduring the first 320 km (200 miles) of driving. • Do not drive slowly with thetransaxle in a high gear. • Drive the vehicle at moderate engine speeds.• Do not tow a trailer during the first 960 km (600 miles) of vehicle oper- ation.

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.

DRIVING TIPS
76MH1-74E
76MH1-74E
Keep weight to a minimum The heavier the load, the more fuel the vehicle consumes. Take out any luggageor cargo when it is not necessary.
Keep tire pressures correct Underinflation of the tires can waste fuel due to increased running resistance of the tires. Keep your tires inflated to the correctpressure shown on the label on the driver’s side door or the driver’s door lock pillar.
Highway Driving
When driving at highway speeds, pay attention to the following: Stopping distance progressively increases with vehicle speed. Apply the brakes far enough ahead of the stoppingpoint to allow for the extra stopping dis- tance. On rainy days, “Hydroplaning” can occur.“Hydroplaning” is the loss of direct con- tact between the road surface and the vehicle’s tires due to a water film formingbetween them. Steering or braking the vehicle while “Hydroplaning” can be very difficult, and loss of control can occur.Keep speed down when the road surface is wet. At high speeds, the vehicle may beaffected by side winds. Therefore, reduce speed and be prepared for unex- pected buffeting, which can occur at theexits of tunnels, when passing by a cut of a hill, or when being overtaken by large vehicles, etc.
Driving on Hills
76MH0A063
When climbing steep hills, the vehiclemay begin to slow down and show a lackof power. If this happens, you should shift to a lower gear so that the engine will again be operating in its normalpower range. Shift rapidly to prevent the vehicle from losing momentum. When driving down a hill, the engineshould be used for braking by shifting into a lower gear.
Driving on Slippery Roads
60G089S
Under wet road conditions you should drive at a lower speed than on dry roadsdue to possible slippage of tires during braking. When driving on icy, snow-cov- ered, or muddy roads, reduce your speedand avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt braking, or sharp steering movements.
Tire Chains (if equipped)Tire chains should only be used if they are needed to increase traction or are required by law. Make sure that the chains you use
WA R N I N G
Try not to hold the brake pedal down too long or too often while goingdown a steep or long hill. This could cause the brakes to overheat, result- ing in reduced braking efficiency.Failure to take this precaution could result in loss of vehicle control.
R N D -M+
NOTICE
When descending a down hill, NEVER turn the igni tion key to the “LOCK” position. Emission control system damage may result.

are the correct size for your vehicle’s tires. Also make sure that there is enough clear- ance between the fenders and the chainsas installed on the tires.
Install the chains on the front tires tightly, according to the chain manufacturer’s instructions. Retight en the chains after driving about 1.0 km (1/2 mile) if neces-sary. With the chains installed, drive slowly.
If Your Vehicle Gets StuckIf your vehicle gets stuck in snow, mud, orsand, follow the directions below:
1) Shift the transaxle back and forth between a forward range (or first gear formanual transaxle) and reverse. This willcreate a rocking motion which may giveyou enough momentum to free the vehi- cle. Press gently on the accelerator to keep wheel spinning to a minimumwheel rpm. Remove your foot from theaccelerator while shifting. Do not race the engine. Excessive wheelspin will cause the tires to dig deeper,making it more difficult to free the vehi- cle.
2) If your vehicle remains stuck after a few minutes of rocking, get another vehicle to pull your vehicle out.
54G638S
DRIVING ON WET ROADS
NOTICE
• If you hear the chains hitting against the vehicle body while driving, stopand tighten them.• If your vehicle is equipped with fullwheel caps, remove the wheel caps before installing the chains or the wheel caps can be damaged by thechain bands.
WA R N I N G
Do not allow anyone to stand near the vehicle when you are rocking it,and do not spin the wheels faster than an indicated 40 km/h (25 mph) on the speedometer. Personal injuryand/ or vehicle damage may result from spinning the wheels too fast.
NOTICE
Do not continue rocking the vehicle for more than a few minutes. Pro-longed rocking can cause engine overheating or transaxle damage.
NOTICE
• When driving on wet roads, avoid driving through large amount of standing water on the road. Large amount of water entering theengine compartment may cause damage to the engine and or elec- trical components.• If stuck in deep water, do not start till water level drops. • Water is incompressible substance,water inside engine is harmful to the engine.
WA R N I N G
In addition to following the driving tips in this section, it is important to observe the following precautions. • Make sure your tires are in good condition and always maintain the specified tire pressure. Refer to“Tires” in the “INSPECTIONAND MAINTENANCE” • Di not use tires other than thosespecified by MARUTI SUZUKI.Never use different sizes or types of tires on the front and rear wheels. Forinformation regard ing the specified tires, refer to the Tire Information Label located on the driver’s doorlock pillar(Continued)
