Be sure that the engine oil you use comes under the quality classification of ACEAA5/B5-10. Select the appropriate oil vis- cosity according to the above chart.
Oil Level Check
76MH030
(1) Engine oil dipstick (Petrol engine) (2) Engine oil dipstick (Diesel engine)
It is important to keep the engine oil at the correct level for proper lubrication of yourvehicle’s engine. Check the oil level with the vehicle on a level surface. The oil level indication may be inaccurate if the vehicleis on a slope. The oil level should be checked either before starting the engine or at least 5 minutes after stopping theengine.
The handle of the engine oil dipstick is col- ored yellow for easy identification.
52D084
Pull out the oil dipstick, wipe oil off with aclean cloth, insert the dipstick all the way into the engine, then remove it again. Theoil on the stick should be between the upper and lower limits shown on the stick. If the oil level indication is near the lowerlimit, add enough oil to raise the level to the upper limit.

Refilling

Remove the oil filler cap and pour oil slowly through the filler hole to bring the oil level to the upper limit on the dipstick. Be careful not to overfill. Too much oil is almost asbad as too little oil. After refilling, start the engine and allow it to idle for about a min- ute. Stop the engine, wait about 5 minutesand check the oil level again.
Changing Engine Oil and FilterDrain the engine oil while the engine is stillwarm.

NOTICE
(For Diesel Engine Model) Do not top up the oil over the MAX limit. Too much oil causes serious engine trouble.

Replace the Oil Filter
1) Using an oil filter wrench, turn the oil fil-ter counterclockwise and remove it. 2) Using a clean rag, wipe off the mount- ing surface on the engine where thenew filter will be seated. 3) Smear a little engine oil around the rub- ber gasket of the new oil filter.4) Screw on the new filter by hand until the filter gasket contacts the mounting sur- face.

Refill with Oil and Check for Leaks1) Pour oil through the filler hole andinstall the filler cap. For the approximate capacity of the oil, refer to the “CAPACITIES” item in the “SPECIFICATIONS” section.2) Start the engine and look carefully for leaks at the oil filter and drain plug. Run the engine at various speeds for at least5 minutes.
3) Stop the engine and wait about 5 min- utes. Check the oil level again and add oil if necessary. Check for leaks again.
Engine Coolant
Selection of CoolantTo maintain optimum performance anddurability of your engine, use MARUTIGenuine Coolant or equivalent. This type of coolant is best for your cooling system as it: Helps maintain proper engine tempera- ture. Gives proper protection against freezingand boiling. Gives proper protection against corro- sion and rust.Failure to use the proper coolant can dam- age your cooling system. Your authorized
MARUTI SUZUKI dealer can help you select the proper coolant.
Coolant Level CheckCheck the coolant level at the reservoirtank, not at the radiator. With the engine cool, the coolant level should be betweenthe “FULL” and “LOW” marks.
NOTICE
To tighten the oil filter properly, it isImportant to accurately identify theposition at which the filter gasket first contacts the mounting surface.
NOTICE
To prevent oil leakage, make sure that the oil filter is tight, but do notover-tighten it.
NOTICE
• When replacing the oil filter, it is rec-ommended that you use a Marutigenuine replacement filter. If you use an after market filter, make sure it is of equivalent quality and followthe manufacturer’s instructions. • Oil leaks from around the oil filter or drain plug indicate incorrectinstallation or gasket damage. If you find any leaks or are not sure that the filter has been properlytightened, have the vehicle inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging your cooling sys- tem: • Always use a high quality ethyleneglycol base non-silicate type cool- ant diluted with distilled water at the correct mixture concentration.• Make sure that the proper mix is 50/ 50 coolant to distilled water (Die- sel) and 30/70 (Petrol). Concentra-tions greater than this may cause overheating conditions. • Neither use 100% coolant nor 100%Plain water. • Do not add extra inhibitors or addi- tives. They may not be compatiblewith your cooling system. • Do not mix different types of base coolants. Doing so may result inaccelerated seal wear and/or the possibility of severe overheating and extensive engine damage.

Adding Coolant(For Petrol Engine Model)
76MH0A107
76MH0A108
If the coolant level is below the “LOW” mark, more coolant should be added. Remove the reservoir tank cap and add coolant until the reservoir tank level reaches the “FULL” mark. Never fill the res- ervoir tank above the “FULL” mark.
(For Diesel Engine Model)
76MH032
If the coolant level is below the “LOW” mark, more coolant should be added. When the engine is cool, remove the degassing tank cap by turning it anticlock-wise slowly to release any pressure. And add coolant until the degassing tank level reaches the “FULL” mark. Never fill thedegassing tank above the “FULL” mark.
WA R N I N G
Engine coolant is harmful or fatal if swallowed or inhaled. Do not drink antifreeze or coolant solution. If swal-lowed, do not induce vomiting. Imme- diately contact a poison control center or a physician. Avoid inhalingmist or hot vapors; if inhaled, remove to fresh air. If coolant gets in eyes, flush eyes with water and seek medi-cal attention. Wash thoroughly after handling. Solution can be poisonous to animals. Keep out of the reach ofchildren and animals.
NOTICE
• The mixture you use should con- tain 30% concentration of anti- freeze.• If the lowest am bient temperature in your area is expected to be – 35°C (–31°F) or below, use higherconcentrations up to 60% following the instructions on the antifreeze container.

WA R N I N G
It is hazardous to remove the reser- voir tank cap (degassing tank cap) for a diesel engine when the water tem- perature is high, because scaldingfluid and steam may be blown out under pressure. Wait until the coolant temperature has lowered beforeremoving the cap.

Coolant ReplacementSince special procedures are required, we recommend you take your vehicle to your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer for coolant replacement.
Air Cleaner
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, therewill be greater intake resistance, resulting in decreased power output and increased fuel consumption.
(For Petrol Engine Model)
76MH0A109
Unclamp the upper clamps, and remove the element from the air cleaner case. If itappears to be dirty, replace it with a new one.
(For Diesel Engine Model)

Unclamp the side clamps, and remove the element from the air cleaner case. If it appears to be dirty, replace it with a newone.
Spark Plugs
76MH0A109
68KH072
For nickel spark plugs (traditional type): You should inspect spark plugs periodically for carbon deposits. When carbon accu-mulates on a spark plug, a strong spark may not be produced. Remove carbon deposits with a wire or pin and adjust thespark plug gap.
To access the spark plugs: 1) Unclamp and remove the bolt, then remove the air cleaner case. 2) If necessary, disconnect the coupler (1)while pushing the release lever. 3) Remove the bolts. 4) Pull the ignition coils out.
NOTE: When installation, make sure the wires,couplers, sealing rubber of top cover and washers, are correctly returned in place.

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.
