TRAILER TOWINGYour MARUTI SUZUKI is designed to carry
people and a normal amount of cargo, not
to tow a trailer. Maruti does not recommend
you use your vehicle to tow a trailer. Towing
a trailer can adversely affect handling,
durability, and fuel economy.
Keep the air cleaner clean:
A dirty air cleaner will cause the fuel system
to supply too much fuel to the engine for
the amount of air being supplied. The result
is waste of fuel due to incomplete
combustion.
Keep weight to a minimum:
The heavier the load, the more fuel the
vehicle consumes. Take out any luggage or
cargo when it is not necessary.
Keep tyre pressures correct:
Under-inflation of the tyres can waste fuel
due to increased running resistance of the
tyres. Keep your tyres inflated to the correct
pressure shown on the label on the driver’s
side door or door lock pillar.OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

Use MARUTI Genuine wheel nuts and
tighten them to the specified torque
as soon as possible after changing
wheels. Incorrect wheel nuts or
improperly tightened wheel nuts may
come loose or fall off, which can
result in an accident. If you do not
have a torque wrench, have the wheel
nut torque checked by a MARUTI
SUZUKI authorized dealer.

Tubeless Tyres (If equipped)
The vehicle is equipped with Tubeless
Tyres. In tubeless tyre, a thin layer of butyl
rubber is used for lining the inside of the
tubeless tyre. This layer is to prevent air
loss and fulfilling the purpose of tube. The
air pressure is maintained by the sealing
between tyre bead and wheel rim. Tubeless
tyres are having advantage of slow air loss
and preventing sudden deflation while
driving.
Care and maintenance tips for tubeless
tyres
1. Always maintain recommended inflation
pressure. Driving continously at low
inflation pressure can lead to tyre dam-
age.
2. In case any leakage is found, check for any nail penetration/valve core damage
or rim bent. Damaged wheel must not
be used.
3. In case tyre has run at low pressue, it must be inspected for any defect.
4. Whenver new tyre is fitted, replace the valve.
5. If continous high speed driving is required, increase tyres pressure by 5
psi over recommended inflation pressure.

Vehicle equipped with electronic fuelinjection system will not start by
pushing or towing as the fuel pump
will not work in this condition. This
starting method could also result in
permanent damage to the catalytic
converter. Use jump leads to start a
vehicle with a weak or flat battery. When jump starting your vehicle, use the
following procedure:
1) Use only a 12 volt battery to jump start
your vehicle. Position the good 12V
battery close to your vehicle so that the
jump leads will reach both batteries.
When using a battery installed on
another vehicle, DO NOT LET THE
VEHICLES TOUCH. Apply the parking
brakes fully on both vehicles.
2) Turn off all vehicle accessories, except those necessary for safety reasons (for
example, headlights or hazard lights). 3) Make jump lead connections as follows:
a) Connect one end of the first jumplead to the positive (+) terminal of the
flat battery.
b) Connect the other end to the positive
(+) terminal of the booster battery.
c) Connect one end of the second jump lead to the negative (-) terminal of
the booster battery.
d) Make the final connection to an unpainted, heavy metal part of the
engine of the vehicle with the flat
battery.
Never connect the jump lead directly
to the negative (-) terminal of the
discharged battery, or an explosion
may occur.
4) If the booster battery you are using is fitted to another vehicle, start the engine
of the vehicle with the booster battery.
Run the engine at moderate speed.
5) Start the engine of the vehicle with the flat battery.
6) Remove the jump leads in the exact reverse order in which you connected
them.EMERGENCY SERVICE10-3
