OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
74LH0-74E
5) Check the headlights, turn signal lights,
brake lights and horn for proper opera-
tion.
6) Adjust the seat and adjustable head
restraint (if equipped).
7) Check the brake pedal and the parking
brake lever.
8) Adjust the mirrors.
9) Make sure that you and all passengers
have properly fastened your seat belts.
10)Make sure that all warning lights come
on as the key is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion or the engine is pressed to change
the ignition mode to “ON”.
11)Check all gauges.
12)Make sure that the BRAKE SYSTEM
WARNING light turns off when the
parking brake is released.
Once a week, or each time you fill your fuel
tank, perform the following under-hood
checks:
1) Engine oil level
2) Coolant level
3) Brake fluid level
4) Battery solution level
5) Windshield washer fluid level
6) Hood latch operation
Pull the bonnet hood release handle
inside the vehicle. Make sure that you
cannot open the hood all the way with-
out releasing the secondary latch. Be
sure to close the hood securely after
checking for proper latch operation.
See “All latches, hinges and locks” of“CHASSIS AND BODY” in the “Periodic
Maintenance Schedule” in the
“INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE”
section for lubrication schedule.
Once a month, or each time you fill your
fuel tank, check the tire pressure using a
tire pressure gauge. Also check the tire
pressure of the spare tire.
Engine Oil ConsumptionIt is normal for the engine to consume
some engine oil during normal vehicle
operation.
The amount of engine oil consumed
depends on the viscosity of the oil, the
quality of the oil and the conditions the
vehicle is driven under.
More oil is consumed during high-speed
driving and when there is frequent acceler-
ation and deceleration. Under high loads,
your engine also will consume more oil.
A new engine also consumes more oil,
since its pistons, piston rings and cylinder
walls have not yet become conditioned.
New engines reach the normal level of oilconsumption only after approximately 5000
km driving.
Oil consumption:
Max. 1.0 L per 1000 km When judging the amount of oil consump-
tion, note that the oil may become diluted
and make it difficult to accurately judge the
true oil level.
As an example, if a vehicle is used for
repeated short trips, and consumes a nor-
mal amount of oil, the dipstick may not
show any drop in the oil level at all, even
after 1000 km or more of driving. This is
because the oil is gradually becoming
diluted with fuel or moisture, making it
appear that the oil level has not changed.
You should also be aware that the diluting
ingredients evaporate out when the vehicle
is subsequently driven at high speeds,
such as on an expressway, making it
appear that oil is excessively consumed
after high-speed driving.
WA R N I N G
Make sure the hood is fully closed
and latched before driving. If it is not,
it can fly up unexpectedly during
driving, obstructing your view and
resulting in an accident.

6) The handle of the A/T fluid dipstick is
colored red for easy identification.
Remove the dipstick, clean it and push
it back in until the cap seats. Then pull
out the dipstick.
7) 7) Check both sides of the dipstick, and
read the lowest level. The fluid level
should be between the two marks in the
“HOT” range on the dipstick.(1) FULL HOT
(2) LOW HOT
(3) The lowest point = Fluid level
8) Add just enough specified fluid through
the dipstick hole to fill the transaxle oil
to the proper level.
Changing Oil
Since special procedures, materials, and
tools are required to change the automatic
transaxle oil, it is recommended that you
trust this job to your authorized MARUTI
SUZUKI dealer.
Fuel Filter (Diesel Engine)
74LHT0703
The fuel filter works as a water sedimentor
as well.
Drain water according to the Periodic
Maintenance Schedule. To drain water:
1) Remove the battery. (Refer to “Battery”
in this section.)
2) Place a pan or ample rag under the fuel
filter drain nozzle.
3) Loosen the drain knob. The water will
be drained.
4) Tighten the drain knob when the water
changes to the diesel fuel.
5) Tighten the drain knob.
Tightening torque for drain knob
1.5 Nm (0.15 kg-m, 1.1 lb-ft)
NOTE:
Trust this job to be carried out at Maruti
Suzuki authorized dealer.
WA R N I N G
Be sure to depress the brake pedal
when moving the gearshift lever, or
the vehicle can move suddenly.

Tire Rotation
60G-09-019E
To avoid uneven wear of your tires and to
prolong their life, rotate the tires as illus-
trated. Tires should be rotated as men-
tioned in periodic maintenance schedule.
After rotation, adjust front and rear tire
pressures to the specification listed on
your vehicle’s Tire Inflation Pressure Label.
Wheel Balancing
If the vehicle vibrates abnormally on
smooth road, have the wheel balanced at
Maruti Suzuki Authorized Workshop.
Wheel Alignment
In case of abnormal tire wear or pulling
towards one side, have the wheel aligned
at Maruti Suzuki Authorized Workshop.Tubeless Tires (If equipped)
The vehicle is equipped with Tubeless
Tires. In tubeless tire, a thin layer of butyl
rubber is used for lining the inside of the
tubeless tire. This layer is to prevent air
loss and fulfilling the purpose of tube. The
air pressure is maintained by the sealing
between tire bead and wheel rim. Tubelesstires are having advantage of slow air loss
and preventing sudden deflation while driv-
ing.
Care and maintenance tips for tubeless
tires
1) Always maintain recommended inflation
pressure. Driving continuously at low
inflation pressure can lead to tire dam-
age.
2) In case any leakage is found, check for
any nail penetration/valve core dam-
age or rim bent. Damaged wheel must
not be used.
3) In case tire has run at low pressure, it
must be inspected for any defect.
4) Whenever new tire is fitted, replace the
valve.
5) If continuous high speed driving is
required, increase tires pressure by 5
psi over recommended inflation pres-
sure.
6) Never run the tire beyond TWI (Tread
wear indicator). The tire is recom-
mended to be replaced when the
remaining tread has worn to this point.
The indicators are spaced across the
tread around the tire marked by a trian-
gular symbol (TWI).
7) Always prefer tubeless tire mounting
machine. In case of manual mounting-
tire/wheel rim damage may occur.
8) In case of any problem, please get in
touch with MARUTI SUZUKI Authorized
workshop.
WA R N I N G
Your MARUTI SUZUKI is equipped
with tires which are all the same
type and size. This is important to
ensure proper steering and han-
dling of the vehicle. Never mix tires
of different size or type on the four
wheels of your vehicle. The size
and type of tires used should be
only those approved by MARUTI
SUZUKI as standard or optional
equipment for your vehicle.
Replacing the wheels and tires
equipped on your vehicle with cer-
tain combinations of after-market
wheels and tires can significantly
change the steering and handling
characteristics of your vehicle.
Therefore, use only those wheel
and tire combinations approved by
MARUTI SUZUKI as standard or
optional equipment for your vehi-
cle.
NOTICE
Replacing the original tires with tires
of a different size may result in false
speedometer or odometer readings.
