Note that even though your vehicle may be moderately damaged in a frontal collision,the collision may not have been severe enough to trigger the air bags to inflate. If your vehicle sustains ANY front-end dam-age, have the air bag system inspected by an authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer to ensure it is in proper working order.
Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnostic module which records information aboutthe air bag system if the air bags deploy ina crash. The module records informationabout overall system status, which sensorsactivated the deployment, and for a certain vehicle only, whether the driver’s seat belt was in use.
Servicing the air bag system If the air bags inflate, have the air bags andrelated components replaced by an autho- rized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
If your vehicle ever gets in deep water and the driver’s floor is submerged, the air bagcontroller could be damaged. If it does, have the air bag system inspected by theMARUTI SUZUKI dealer as soon as possi- ble.
Special procedures are required for servic- ing or replacing an air bag. For that reason, only an authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer should be allowed to service orreplace your air bags. Please remind any-
one who services your vehicle that it has air bags.
Service on or around air bag components or wiring must be performed only by an authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.Improper service could result in unin- tended air bag deployment or could render the air bag inoperative. Either of these twoconditions may result in severe injury.
To prevent damage or unintended inflation of the air bag system, be sure the batteryis disconnected and the ignition switch hasbeen in the “LOCK” position for at least 90seconds before performing any electrical service work on your vehicle. Do not touch air bag system components or wires. Thewires are wrapped with yellow tape or yel- low tubing, and the couplers are yellow for easy identification.
Scrapping a vehicle that has an uninflated air bag can be hazardous. Ask your dealer,body repair shop or scrap yard for help with disposal.

NOTE:• Indications will change when you pushand release a knob.• The display shows estimated values.Indications may not be the same as actual values.Trip meter The trip meter can be used to measure the distance traveled on short trips or between fuel stops.You can use the trip meter A or trip meter B independently.
To reset the trip meter to zero, push and hold the trip meter selector knob (1) for a while when the display shows the tripmeter.
NOTE: The indicated maximum value of the trip meter is 9999.9. When you run past the
maximum value, the indicated value willreturn to 0.0.
Odometer The odometer records the total distance the vehicle has been driven.
Instantaneous Fuel ConsumptionThe display shows the value of instanta- neous fuel consumption only when the vehi- cle is moving.
NOTE:• The display does not show the valueunless the vehicle is moving.• The indicated maximum value of instanta-neous fuel consumption is 30. No more than 30 will be indicated on the displayeven if the actual instantaneous fuel con-sumption is higher.• The indication on the display may bedelayed if fuel consumption is greatly affected by driving conditions.• The display shows estimated values. Indi-cations may not be the same as actual values.• You can change the units that instanta-neous fuel consumption is displayed in.Refer to “Average fuel consumption” in this section.
Average fuel consumptionIf you selected average fuel consumptionthe last time you drove the vehicle, the dis- play shows the last value of average fuelconsumption from previous driving when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON”position. Unless you reset the value of aver- age fuel consumption, the display indicates the value of average fuel consumption which includes average fuel consumptionduring previous driving.
To reset the average fuel consumption to zero, push and hold the indicator selector knob (2) for a while when the display shows the average fuel consumption.
NOTE: When you reset the indication or reconnectthe negative (–) terminal to the battery, the value of average fuel consumption will be shown after driving for a while.
To change the unit of average fuel con- sumption, while pushing and holding thetrip meter selector knob (1), turn the indi- cator selector knob (2).

Improving Fuel Economy
The following instructions will help you improve fuel economy.
Avoid excessive idling If you are to wait for more than a minutewhile you are parked, stop the engine and start it again later. When warming up a cold engine, do not allow the engine to idleor apply full throttle until the engine has reached operating temperature. Allow the engine to warm up by driving.
Avoid “fast” starts Fast starts away from lights or stop signs will consume fuel unnecessarily andshorten engine life. Start off slowly.
Avoid unnecessary stops Avoid unnecessary deceleration and stop- ping. Try to maintain a slow, steady speed whenever possible. Slowing down and thenaccelerating again uses more fuel.
Keep a steady cruising speed Keep as constant a speed as road and traf- fic conditions will permit.
Keep the air cleaner clean
60A183S
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there will be greater intake resistance, resulting in decreased power output and increased fuel consumption.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging catalyst or othervehicle damage:• Maintain the engine in the properoperating condition.• In the event of an engine malfunc-tion, particularly one involving engine misfiring or other apparent loss of performance, have the vehi-cle serviced promptly.• Do not turn off the engine or inter-rupt the ignition when the transaxleis in gear and the vehicle is in motion.• Do not try to start the engine bypushing or towing the vehicle, orcoasting down a hill.• Do not idle the engine with anyspark plug wires disconnected orremoved, such as during diagnos- tic testing.• Do not idle the vehicle for pro-longed periods if idling seemsrough or there are other malfunc-tions.• Do not allow the fuel tank to getnear the empty level.• Avoid driving your vehicle atexcessively high engine speed inor around the red zone of thetachometer (if equipped).
WA R N I N G
Be careful in areas where you parkand drive; the catalytic converter and other exhaust components can get very hot. As with any vehicle, do not park or operate this vehicle in areas where combustible materials such asdry grass or leaves can come in con- tact with a hot exhaust system.
