Brake Pedal
Check if the brake pedal stops at the
regular height without "spongy" feeling when
you depress it. If not, have the brake
system inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI
dealer. If you doubt the brake pedal for the
regular height, check it as follows:With the engine running, measure the
distance between the brake pedal and floor
silencer mat when the pedal is depressed
with approximately 30 kg (66 lbs) of force.
The minimum distance required is 110 mm
(4.3 in). Since your vehicle’s brake system
is self-adjusting, there is no need for pedal
adjustment. If the pedal to floor wall distance
as measured above is less than the minimum
distance required, have your vehicle inspected
by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE9-29To avoid harm to yourself or damage
to your vehicle or battery, follow the
jump starting instructions in the
EMERGENCY SERVICE section of this
manual if it is necessary to jump start
your vehicle.
The level of the battery solution must be
kept between the “MAX” and the “MIN” level
lines at all times. If the level is found to be
below the “MIN” level line, add distilled
water to the “MAX” level line. You should
periodically check the battery, battery
terminals, and battery hold-down bracket for
corrosion. Remove corrosion using a stiff
brush and ammonia mixed with water, or
baking soda mixed with water. After
removing corrosion, rinse with clean water.
If your vehicle is not going to be driven for
a month or longer, disconnect the cable from
the negative terminal of the battery to help
prevent discharge.

CAUTION
Manual Transmission
Whenever possible, your vehicle should be
towed from the front with the front wheels
lifted. If the steering and drivetrain are in
good condition, your vehicle may be towed
from the rear with the rear wheels lifted and
the front wheels on the ground. Before
towing, make sure the steering is unlocked
and the transmission is in neutral. I
f the Starter Does Not Operate:
1) Try turning the ignition switch to the
“START” position with the headlights
turned on to determine the battery
condition. If the headlights go
excessively dim or go off, it usually
means that either the battery is flat or
the battery terminal contact is poor.
Recharge the battery or correct battery
terminal contact as necessary.
2) If the headlights remain bright, check the fuses. If the reason for failure of the
starter is not obvious, there may be a
major electrical problem. Have the
vehicle inspected by your authorized
MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
If the Engine is Flooded
If the engine is flooded with petrol, it may
be hard to start. If this happens, press the
accelerator pedal all the way to the floor
and hold it there while cranking the engine.
(Do not operate the starter motor for more
than 15 seconds). Release the accelerator
as soon as the engine has started.
If the Engine Overheats
The engine could overheat temporarily under
severe driving conditions. If the engine
coolant temperature warning light comes on,
it indicates overheating during driving:TOWING HOOK (If equipped)
