Towing Your VehicleYour vehicle may be towed behind another
vehicle (such as a motor-home), provided
your vehicle is 2 wheel drive (2WD) and
you use the proper towing method speci-
fied for your vehicle.
Use the towing instruction table to select
the proper towing method for your vehicle,and carefully follow the corresponding
instructions. Be sure to use proper towing
equipment designed for recreational tow-
ing and make sure that towing speed does
not exceed 90 km/h (55 mph)
TOWING INSTRUCTION TABLE
WA R N I N G
Be careful when overtaking other
vehicles. Be sure to allow enough
room for your trailer before you
change lanes, and signal well in
advance. Slow down and change into a lower
gear before you reach long or steep
downhill grades. It is hazardous to
attempt changing down while you
are descending a hill.
Avoid “riding” the brakes. This
could cause the brakes to overheat
resulting in reduced braking effi-
ciency. Use engine braking as
much as possible.
Because of the added trailer
weight, your engine may overheat
on hot days when going up long or
steep hills. Pay attention to your
engine temperature gauge. If it indi-
cates overheating, pull off the road
and stop in a safe place. Refer to “If
the Engine Overheats” in “EMER-
GENCY SERVICE” section.
WA R N I N G
When parking your vehicle and con-
nected trailer, always use the follow-
ing procedure:
1) Apply the vehicle’s brakes firmly.
2) Have another person place wheel
chocks under the wheels of the
vehicle and the trailer while you
are holding the brakes.
3) Slowly release the brakes until the
wheel chocks absorb the load.
4) Fully engage the parking brake.
5) Change the manual transmission
into reverse or first gear and turn
off the engine.
When starting out after parking:
1) Depress the clutch and start the
engine.
2) Change into gear, release the
parking brake, and slowly pull
away from the chocks.
3) Stop, apply the brakes firmly and
hold them.
4) Have another person remove the
chocks.
WA R N I N G
When you tow your vehicle, follow

WA R N I N G
You should take extreme care when
working on your vehicle to prevent
accidental injury. Here are a few pre-
cautions that you should be espe-
cially careful to observe:
To prevent damage or unintended
activation of the air bag system or
seat belt pretensioner system, be
sure the battery is disconnected and
the ignition switch has been in the
“LOCK” position for at least 90 sec-
onds before performing any electri-
cal service work on your vehicle. Do
not touch air bag system compo-
nents, seat belt pretensioner system
components or wires.
The wires are wrapped with yellow
tape 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.
(Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)
When the engine is running, keep
hands, clothing, tools, and other
objects away from the fan and drive
belt. Even though the fan may not
be moving, it can automatically
turn on without warning.
When it is necessary to do service
work with the engine running, make
sure that the parking brake is set
fully and the transmission is in
Neutral.
Do not touch ignition wires or other
ignition system parts when starting
the engine or when the engine is
running, or you could receive an
electric shock.
Be careful not to touch a hot
engine, 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 between the positive
and negative battery terminals.
(Continued)

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 the
degassing tank above the “FULL” mark.Coolant ReplacementCoolant replacement work requires techni-
cal skill. Do not replace the coolant by
yourself. Trust this job to Maruti Suzuki
Authorised Dealer workshop or service
station.Air Cleaner(For Petrol Engine Model)
74LHT0713
(For Diesel Engine Model)
74LHT0702
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there
will be greater intake resistance, resulting
in decreased power output and increased
fuel consumption.
Unclamp/unscrew the side clamps/screws,
and remove the element from the air
cleaner case. If it appears to be dirty,
replace it with a new one.Spark Plugs (Petrol Engine)

NOTICE
When putting the cap on the reser-
voir tank, line up the mark on the cap
and the mark on the tank. Failure to
follow this can result in coolant leak-
age.
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 scalding
fluid and steam may be blown out
under pressure. Wait until the coolant
temperature has lowered before
removing the cap.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
74LH0-74E
Temporary Spare Tire (if equipped)Your vehicle comes equipped with the tem-
porary spare tire. It is only intended for
temporary emergency use, until the con-
ventional tire can be repaired or replaced.
The inflation pressure of the temporary
spare tire should be checked at least
monthly. At the same time, check that the
tire is stored securely. If it is not, tighten it.
Note that two or more temporary spare
tires should not be used on one vehicle
simultaneously.

WA R N I N G
The temporary spare tire and wheel
are intended for temporary emergency
use only. Continuous use of this spare
can result in tire failure and loss of
control. Always observe these precau-
tions when using this spare: Your vehicle will handle differently
with this temporary spare.
Do not exceed 80 km/h speed (only
vehicle with 185/65R15 tire).
Replace this spare with a standard
tire and wheel as soon as possible.
Use of this spare will reduce
ground clearance.
Set the specified tire pressure indi-
cated on the tire information label
located on the driver’s door lock
pillar.
Do not use tire chains on the tem-
porary spare. If you must use tire
chains, rearrange the wheels so
standard tires and wheels are fitted
to the front axle.
The temporary spare tire has a
much shorter tread life than the
conventional tires on your vehicle.
Replace the tire as soon as the
tread wear indicator appears.
When replacing the temporary
spare tire, use a replacement tire
with the exact same size and con-
struction.
WA R N I N G
Batteries produce flammable
hydrogen gas. Keep flames and
sparks away from the battery or an
explosion may occur. Never smoke
when working in the vicinity of the
battery.
When checking or servicing the
battery, disconnect the negative
cable. Be careful not to cause a
short circuit by allowing metal
objects to contact the battery posts
and the vehicle at the same time.
To avoid harm to yourself or dam-
age to your vehicle or battery, fol-
low the jump starting instructions
in the “EMERGENCY SERVICE”
section of this manual if it is neces-
sary to jump start your vehicle.EXAMPLE-1
