Note that even though your vehicle may be moderately damaged in a frontal collision,the collision may not have been severe enough to trigger the air bags to inflate. If your vehicle sustains ANY front-end dam-age, have the air bag system inspected by an authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer to ensure it is in proper working order.
Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnostic module which records information aboutthe air bag system if the air bags deploy ina crash. The module records informationabout overall system status, which sensorsactivated the deployment, and for a certain vehicle only, whether the driver’s seat belt was in use.
Servicing the air bag system If the air bags inflate, have the air bags andrelated components replaced by an autho- rized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
If your vehicle ever gets in deep water and the driver’s floor is submerged, the air bagcontroller could be damaged. If it does, have the air bag system inspected by theMARUTI SUZUKI dealer as soon as possi- ble.
Special procedures are required for servic- ing or replacing an air bag. For that reason, only an authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer should be allowed to service orreplace your air bags. Please remind any-
one who services your vehicle that it has air bags.
Service on or around air bag components or wiring must be performed only by an authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.Improper service could result in unin- tended air bag deployment or could render the air bag inoperative. Either of these twoconditions may result in severe injury.
To prevent damage or unintended inflation of the air bag system, be sure the batteryis disconnected and the ignition switch hasbeen in the “LOCK” position for at least 90seconds before performing any electrical service work on your vehicle. Do not touch air bag system components or wires. Thewires are wrapped with yellow tape or yel- low tubing, and the couplers are yellow for easy identification.
Scrapping a vehicle that has an uninflated air bag can be hazardous. Ask your dealer,body repair shop or scrap yard for help with disposal.

The speedometer indicates vehicle speed.
Tachometer (if equipped)
The tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute.
Fuel Gauge
With tachometer
76MH0A037
Without tachometer
76MH0A038
When the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, this gauge gives an approximate indication of the amount of fuel in the fueltank. “F” stands for full and “E” stands for empty.
If the fuel meter indicator shows only one segment to “E”, refill the tank as soon aspossible.
NOTE: If the last segment blinks, it means that thefuel is almost empty.
If the low fuel warning light (1) comes on, fill the fuel tank immediately.
NOTE:The activation point of the low fuel warning light (1) varies depending on road condi- tions (for example, slope or curve) anddriving conditions because of fuel moving in the tank.
Refer to “Low Fuel Warning Light” in“Warning and Indicator Lights” in this sec- tion for details.
The mark (2) indicates that the fuel filler door is located on the left side of the vehi-cle.
Brightness Control
76MH0A039
When the ignition switch is turned to the“ON” position, the pointer lights come on.
Your vehicle has a system to automaticallydim the brightness of the instrument panellights when the position lights or headlights are on.
When the position lights and/or headlights are ON, you can control the meter illumina- tion intensity.
NOTICE
Never drive the vehicle with theengine revving in the red zone, orsevere engine damage can result. Keep the engine speed below the red zone even when downshifting to alower gear position. Refer to “Down- shifting maximum allowable speeds” in the “OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE”section.

NOTE:• Indications will change when you pushand release a knob.• The display shows estimated values.Indications may not be the same as actual values.Trip meter The trip meter can be used to measure the distance traveled on short trips or between fuel stops.You can use the trip meter A or trip meter B independently.
To reset the trip meter to zero, push and hold the trip meter selector knob (1) for a while when the display shows the tripmeter.
NOTE: The indicated maximum value of the trip meter is 9999.9. When you run past the
maximum value, the indicated value willreturn to 0.0.
Odometer The odometer records the total distance the vehicle has been driven.
Instantaneous Fuel ConsumptionThe display shows the value of instanta- neous fuel consumption only when the vehi- cle is moving.
NOTE:• The display does not show the valueunless the vehicle is moving.• The indicated maximum value of instanta-neous fuel consumption is 30. No more than 30 will be indicated on the displayeven if the actual instantaneous fuel con-sumption is higher.• The indication on the display may bedelayed if fuel consumption is greatly affected by driving conditions.• The display shows estimated values. Indi-cations may not be the same as actual values.• You can change the units that instanta-neous fuel consumption is displayed in.Refer to “Average fuel consumption” in this section.
Average fuel consumptionIf you selected average fuel consumptionthe last time you drove the vehicle, the dis- play shows the last value of average fuelconsumption from previous driving when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON”position. Unless you reset the value of aver- age fuel consumption, the display indicates the value of average fuel consumption which includes average fuel consumptionduring previous driving.
To reset the average fuel consumption to zero, push and hold the indicator selector knob (2) for a while when the display shows the average fuel consumption.
NOTE: When you reset the indication or reconnectthe negative (–) terminal to the battery, the value of average fuel consumption will be shown after driving for a while.

Driving rangeIf you selected driving range the last timeyou drove the vehicle, the display indicates“---” for a few seconds and then indicatesthe current driving range when the ignitionswitch is turned to the “ON” position. The driving range shown in the display is the approximate distance you can drive untilthe fuel gauge indicates “E”, based on cur-rent driving conditions.
When the low fuel warning light comes on, the display “---” will appear.
If the low fuel warning light comes on, fill thefuel tank immediately regardless of the valueof driving range shown in the display.
As the driving range after refueling is calcu-lated based on the most recent driving con-dition, the value is different each time you refuel.
NOTE: • If you refuel when the ignition switch is inthe “ON” position, the driving range may not indicate the correct value.• When you reconnect the negative (–) ter-minal to the battery, the value of drivingrange will be shown after driving for awhile.
