seat or seatback could move unex-
pectedly, causing loss of control.
Make sure that the driver’s seat and
seatback are properly adjusted
before you start driving.
WA R N I N G
To avoid excessive seat belt slack,
which reduces the effectiveness of
the seat belts as a safety device,
make sure that the seats are adjusted
before the seat belts are fastened.
NOTICE
Do not rest your feet on the seat
adjustment lever or push it down.
This may affect the performance of
the seat adjusters.
EXAMPLE
EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
All seatbacks should always be in an
upright position when driving, or seat
belt effectiveness may be reduced.
Seat belts are designed to offer maxi-
mum protection when seatbacks are
in the upright position.

NOTE:
The word “CENTER” is molded on the
buckle and latch plate of the center lap
belt. The buckles are designed so a latch
plate can not be inserted into the wrong
buckle.
Driver’s Seat Belt Reminder
(if equipped)
74LHT0214
When the driver does not buckle his or her
seat belt, the driver’s seat belt reminder
light in the instrument cluster will come on
or blink and a buzzer (if equipped) will
sound as a reminder to the driver to buckle
his or her seat belt. For more details, refer
to the explanation below.
If the driver’s seat belt remains unbuckled
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the engine switch is
pressed to change the ignition mode to
“ON”. The reminder works as follows:1) The driver’s seat belt reminder light will
come on.
2) After the vehicle’s speed has reached
about 15 km/h, the driver’s seat belt
reminder light will blink and a buzzer
(if equipped) will sound for about 95
seconds.
3) After step 2) has finished, the reminder
light will remain on until the driver’s seat
belt is buckled.
If the driver has buckled his or her seat belt
and later unbuckles the seat belt, the
reminder system will be activated from
step 1) or step 2) according to the vehicle’s
speed. When the vehicle’s speed is below
about 15 km/h, the reminder will start from
step 1). When the vehicle’s speed is above
about 15 km/h, the reminder will start from
step 2).
The reminder will be automatically can-
celed when the driver’s seat belt is buckled
or the ignition switch is turned off, or the
engine switch is pressed to change the
ignition mode to “LOCK” (OFF).
Shoulder Anchor Height Adjuster
(if equipped)
64J198
Adjust the shoulder anchor height so that
the shoulder belt rides on the center of the
outboard shoulder. To upward, slide the
anchor up by pushing through the Sash
guide. To downward, slide the anchor
down while pulling the lock knob out. After
adjustment, make sure that the anchor is
securely locked.
EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
It is absolutely essential that the
driver and passengers wear their seat
belts at all times. Persons who are
not wearing seat belts have a much
greater risk of injury if an accident
occurs. Make a regular habit of buck-
ling your seat belt before putting the
key in the ignition.
WA R N I N G
Be sure that the shoulder belt is posi-
tioned on the center of the outside
shoulder. The belt should be away
from your face and neck, but not fall-
ing off your shoulder. Misadjustment
of the belt could reduce the effective-
ness of the safety belt in a crash.

Approximate areas where obstacles can
be detected
Swift
74LHT3003
Swift Dzire
74LHT3004
An obstacle within about 20 cm (8 in)
from a sensor or just below a sensor is
not detectable. The sensors can detect an obstacle up to
about 1.5 m (5 ft) from the rear of vehicle. EXAMPLE EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
Under the following conditions, the
parking sensor system may not
work normally because the sensors
cannot detect obstacles correctly.
– Sensors are covered with mud, ice
or other materials. (Such materials
must be removed for normal oper-
ation.)
– sensor are wet from water
splashes or heavy rain.
– Sensors are covered by a hand,
sticker, accessory, etc.
– There is an accessory or other
object attached within the sen-
sor’s sensing area.– Items such as tow hooks, commer-
cially available corner poles, radio
antenna, etc. are installed on the
bumper.
– The height of the bumper is changed
due to alteration to the suspension or
other causes.
– The sensor areas are extremely hot
from direct sunlight or cold due to
freezing weather.
– The vehicle is on a rough surface,
slope, gravel road or grass field.
– The vehicle is at a steep angle.
– Sensors have intercepted ultrasonic
noise from another vehicle’s horn,
engine, air braking system (large vehi-
cles), or parking sensor.
– Obstacles are too close to the sen-
sors.
(Continued)
WARNING
– Sensors are at an angle to a highly
reflective object such as glass. (Ultra-
sonic waves are not reflected back
from the obstacle.)
Sensors may not be able to correctly
detect the following types of obstacles:
– Objects made of a thin material like
wire netting and ropes.
– Square-shaped curbstones or other
objects with sharp edges.
– Tall objects with a large upper part like
a road sign.
– Low-profile objects such as curb-
stones.
– Sound-absorbing objects such as cot-
ton and snow.– Sensors have intercepted ultra-
sonic noise from another vehi-
cle’s horn, engine, air braking
system (large vehicles), or park-
ing sensor.
– Obstacles are too close to the
sensors.
– Sensors are at an angle to a
highly reflective object such as
glass. (Ultrasonic waves are not
reflected back from the obstacle.)
Sensors may not be able to cor-
rectly detect the following types of
obstacles:

VEHICLE LOADING AND TOWING
74LH0-74E
Brakes
Ty r e s
MirrorsCheck to see if your vehicle’s mirrors meet
local requirements for mirrors used on
towing vehicles. If they do not, you must
install the required mirrors before you tow.
Vehicle/Trailer LoadingTo load your vehicle and trailer properly,
you must know how to measure gross
trailer weight and trailer nose weight.
Gross Trailer Weight is the weight of the
trailer plus all the cargo in it. You can mea-
sure gross trailer weight by putting the fully
loaded trailer on a vehicle scale.
Nose Weight is the downward force
exerted on the tow bar by the trailer cou-
pler, with the trailer fully loaded and the
coupler at its normal towing height. This
weight can be measured using a bathroom
scales.
The weight of your loaded trailer (Gross
Trailer Weight) should never exceed the
“Towing capacity”.
Distribute cargo in your trailer so that nose
weight is about 10% of gross trailer weight,
but does not exceed “Maximum vertical
load on trailer hitch point”. You should
measure gross trailer weight and nose
weight before towing to make sure that
your load is properly distributed.
WA R N I N G
If trailer brakes are used, you should
follow all instructions provided by
the manufacturer. Never connect to
the brake system of your vehicle and
never take an electrical supply
directly from the wiring harness.
WA R N I N G
When towing a trailer, it is very
important for your vehicle and trailer
to have properly inflated tyres. Your
vehicle’s tyres should be inflated to
the pressures listed on your vehicles
Tyre Information label. If laden pres-
sures are listed on the label, the tyres
should be inflated to the laden pres-
sures. Inflate trailer tyres according
to the specifications provided by the
trailer manufacturer.
WA R N I N G
Improper weight distribution of your
trailer may result in poor vehicle han-
dling and swaying of the trailer.
Always make sure that trailer nose
weight is about 10% of gross trailer
weight, but does not exceed “Maxi-
mum vertical load on trailer hitch
point”. Also make sure that the cargo
is properly secured. Failure to
observe this requirement may result
in an accident.
WA R N I N G
Never overload your trailer or your
vehicle. Gross trailer weight must
never exceed the “Towing capacity”.
Gross vehicle weight (sum of the
weights of the vehicle, all the occu-
pants, accessories including tow
bars and a trailer hitch, cargo and
trailer nose weight) must never
exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rat-
ing (GVWR) listed in the “SPECIFICA-
TIONS” section.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
74LH0-74E
Brakes
Brake Fluid
68LM703
Check the brake fluid level by looking at
the reservoir in the engine compartment.
Check that the fluid level is between the
“MAX” and “MIN” lines. If the brake fluid
level is near the “MIN” line, fill it up to the
“MAX” line with Maruti Genuine Brake
Fluid (MGBF) or DOT 3.
We highly recommend to use “Maruti Gen-
uine Brake Fluid” (MGBF).NOTE:
With disc brakes, the fluid level can be
expected to gradually fall as the brake
pads wear.
Brake PedalCheck if the brake pedal stops at the regu-
lar height without “spongy” feeling when
you depress it. If not, have the brake sys-
tem inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI
dealer. If you doubt the brake pedal for the
regular height, check it as follows:
54G108
WA R N I N G
Failure to follow the guidelines below
can result in personal injury or seri-
ous damage to the brake system.
If the brake fluid in the reservoir
drops below a certain level, the
brake warning light on the instru-
ment panel will come on (the
engine must be running with the
parking brake fully disengaged).
Should the light come on, immedi-
ately ask your MARUTI SUZUKI
dealer to inspect the brake system.
A rapid fluid loss indicates a leak in
the brake system which should be
inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI
dealer immediately.
Do not use any fluid other than
Maruti Genuine Brake Fluid (MGBF)
or DOT 3. Do not use reclaimed
fluid or fluid that has been stored in
old or open containers. It is essen-
tial that foreign particles and other
liquids are kept out of the brake
fluid reservoir.
CAUTION
Brake fluid can harm your eyes and
damage painted surfaces. Use cau-
tion when refilling the reservoir.
WA R N I N G
Brake fluid is harmful or fatal if swal-
lowed, and harmful if it comes in con-
tact with skin or eyes. If swallowed,
do not induce vomiting. Immediately
contact a poison control center or a
physician. If brake fluid 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 of
children and animals.
