enough to withstand shocks trans-
mitted from the front wheels during
towing. Always unlock the steering
wheel before towing. TOWING METHOD AFROM THE FRONT:
FRONT WHEELS ON A DOLLY
AND REAR WHEELS ON THE GROUND
B: 2WD VEHICLES WITH MANUAL TRANSAXLE OR AUTO GEAR SHIFT1) Shift the manual transaxle lever into neutral.

NOTICE
After shifting the Auto Gear Shift
lever to the “N” position, always
check the gear position indicator in
the instrument cluster shows the “N”
position to make sure that the
transaxle is disengaged.
If the transaxle cannot be put in neu-
tral, turn the key from the “LOCK” to
the “ON” position, and move the
Auto Gear Shift lever from “N” to “D”,
“M” or “R”, then back to “N” again.
Then turn the key from the “ON” to
the “LOCK” position.
These procedures may help put the
transaxle in neutral. If the transaxle
still cannot be put in neutral, you can-
not tow the vehicle without using a
towing dolly.

WA R N I N G
New and used oil can be hazardous.
Children and pets may be harmed by
swallowing new or used oil. Keep
new and used oil and used oil filters
away from children and pets.
Continuous contact with used engine
oil may cause skin cancer laboratory
animals
Brief contact with used oil may irri-
tate skin.
To minimize your exposure to used
oil, wear a long-sleeve shirt and
moisture-proof gloves (such as
diswashing gloves) when changing
oil. If oil contacts your skin, wash
thoroughly with soap and water.
Launder any clothing or rags if wet
with oil.
Recycle or properly dispose of used

Refill with Oil and Check for Leaks1) Pour oil through the filler hole and
install 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 least
5 minutes.
3) Stop the engine and wait about 5 min-

NOTICE
To prevent oil leakage, make sure
that the oil filter is tight, but do not
over-tighten it.
NOTICE
When replacing the oil filter, it is
recommended that you use a MAR-
UTI genuine replacement filter.
Oil leaks from around the oil filter
or drain plug indicate incorrect
installation or gasket damage. If
you find any leaks or are not sure
that the filter has been properly
tightened, have the vehicle
inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI
dealer.

NOTE:
If your engine is equipped with the high
tension cord type ignition wiring and you
experience some firing problem of spark
plugs, such as, hard engine-starting, mis-
fire etc., the cause may be located not only
on spark plugs but also on deteriorated
ignition wirings (generally, used for more
than 80,000 km or five years). If spark plug
replacement does not solve the problem,
have the ignition wiring and other ignition
system inspected by your MARUTI
SUZUKI dealer.Gear OilManual Transaxle Oil / Auto Gear
Shift OilWhen adding gear oil, use gear oil with the
appropriate viscosity and grade.
We highly recommend you use:
"MARUTI SUZUKI GEAR OIL 75W-80" for
manual transaxle gear oil or Auto Gear
Shift Oil.

(1) Oil filler and level plug
(for Petrol engine model)
(2) Oil filler and level plug
(for diesel engine model)
To check the gear oil level, use the fol-
lowing 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) or (2) .
3) Check the inside of the hole with your
finger. If the oil level comes up to the
bottom of the plug hole, the oil level is
correct. If so, reinstall the plug.
4) If the oil level is low, add gear oil
through the oil filler plug hole (1) or (2)
until the oil level reaches the bottom of
the filler hole, then reinstall the plug.

CAUTION
After driving the vehicle, the trans-
mission oil temperature may be high
enough to burn you. Wait until the oil

When tightening the plug, apply the
following sealing compound or
equivalent to the plug threads to pre-
vent oil leakage.
