Nearby mountains and buildings may interfere or deflect radio reception, causingpoor reception. Poor reception or radio static can also be caused by electric cur- rent from overhead wires or high voltagepower lines.

(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.

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.

• This is important to ensure propersteering and handling of the vehi-cle. Never mix tires of different size or type on the four wheels of your vehicle. The size and type of tiresused should be only those approved by MARUTI SUZUKI as standard or optional equipment foryour vehicle. • Replacing the wheels and tires equipped on your vehicle with cer-tain combinations of aftermarket wheels and tires can significantly change the steering and handlingcharacteristics of your vehicle. • Therefore, use only those wheel and tire combinations approved byMARUTI 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.

• Batteries produce flammable hydrogen gas. Keep flames and sparks away from the battery or an explosion may occur. Never smokewhen working in the vicinity of the battery. • When checking or servicing thebattery, disconnect the negative cable. Be careful not to cause a short circuit by allowing metalobjects to contact the battery posts and the vehicle at the same time. • To avoid harm to yourself or dam-age to your vehicl e 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.

Insert a piece of cloth between the spokes of the wheel cover and try to pull the cover outward (as shown in figure). Take out thedetached wheel cover from the wheel rim. For installation first match the slot at the wheel cover with the air filling nozzle of the wheel. Apply equal pressure at the circum- ference of the wheel cover to fix it in thewheel rim.

When installing the cover, make sure that itis positioned so that it does not cover orfoul the air valve.
Jump Starting Instructions
When Jump Starting Your Vehicle,
Use the Following Procedure:1) Use only a 12-volt battery to jump start your vehicle. Position the good 12-volt battery close to your vehicle so that thejump leads will reach both batteries. When using a battery installed on another vehicle, DO NOT LET THEVEHICLES TOUCH. Set the parking brakes fully on both vehicles. 2) Turn off all vehicle accessories, exceptthose necessary for safety reasons (for example, headlights or hazard lights).

• Never attempt to jump start your vehicle if the battery appears to be frozen. Batteries in this condition may explode or rupture if jumpstarting is attempted. • When making jump lead connec- tions, be certain that your handsand the jump leads remain clear from pulleys, belts, or fans. • Batteries produce flammablehydrogen gas. Keep flames and sparks away from the battery or an explosion may occur. Never smokewhen working in the vicinity of the battery. • If the booster battery you use forjump starting is installed in another vehicle, make sure the two vehicles are not touching each other.• If your battery discharges repeat- edly, for no apparent reason, have your vehicle inspected by anauthorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. • To avoid harm to yourself or dam- age to your vehicl e or battery, fol- low the jump starting instructions below precisely and in order. If you are in doubt, call for qualifiedroad service.

Corrosion Prevention
It is important to take good care of your vehicle to protect it from corrosion. Listedbelow are instructions for how to maintain your vehicle to prevent corrosion. Please read and follow these instructions carefully.
Important Information About Corrosion
Common causes of corrosion 1) Accumulation of road salt, dirt, mois- ture, or chemicals in hard-to-reachareas of the vehicle underbody or frame. 2) Chipping, scratches and any damage totreated or painted metal surfaces resulting from minor accidents or abra- sion by stones and gravel.
Environmental conditions which accel- erate corrosion1) Road salt, dust control chemicals, sea air or industrial pollution will all acceler- ate the corrosion of metal.2) High humidity will increase the rate of corrosion particularly when the tem- perature range is just above the freez-ing point. 3) Moisture in certain areas of a vehicle for an extended period of time may pro-mote corrosion even though other body sections may be completely dry.
4) High temperatures will cause an accel- erated rate of corrosion to parts of the vehicle which are not well ventilated topermit quick drying.
This information illustrates the necessity of keeping your vehicle (particularly the underbody) as clean and dry as possible. It is equally important to repair any damageto the paint or protective coatings as soon as possible.
How to Help Prevent Corrosion
Wash your vehicle frequentlyThe best way to preserve the finish on your vehicle and to help avoid corrosion is tokeep it clean with frequent washing. Wash your vehicle at least once during the winter and once immediately after the win-ter. Keep your vehicle, particularly the underside, as clean and dry as possible. If you frequently drive on salted roads, yourvehicle should be washed at least once a month during the winter. If you live near the ocean, your vehicle should be washed atleast once a month throughout the year.
For washing instructions, refer to the “Vehi- cle Cleaning” section.
Remove foreign ma terial depositsForeign material such as salts, chemicals, road oil or tar, tree sap, bird droppings andindustrial fall-out may damage the finish of your vehicle if it is left on painted surfaces. Remove these types of deposits as quicklyas possible. If these deposits are difficult to wash off, an additional cleaner may be required. Be sure that any cleaner you use
is not harmful to painted surfaces and is specifically intended for your purposes. Fol- low the manufacturer’s directions when using these special cleaners.
Repair finish damage Carefully examine your vehicle for damage to the painted surfaces. Should you findany chips or scratches in the paint, touch them up immediately to prevent corrosion from starting. If the chips or scratches havegone through to the bare metal, have a qualified body shop make the repair.
Keep passenger and luggage compart- ments cleanMoisture, dirt or mud can accumulate under the floor mats and may cause corrosion. Occasionally, check under these mats toensure that this area is clean and dry. More frequent checks are necessary if the vehicle is used off road or in wet weather.Certain cargos such as chemicals, fertiliz- ers, cleaners, salts, etc. are extremely cor- rosive by nature. These products should betransported in sealed containers. If a spill or leak does occur, clean and dry the area immediately.
Store your vehicle in a dry, well-venti- lated area Do not park your vehicle in a damp, poorlyventilated area. If you often wash your vehicle in the garage or if you frequently drive it in when wet, your garage may bedamp. The high humidity in the garage may cause or accelerate corrosion. A wet vehicle may corrode even in a heatedgarage if the ventilation is poor.
