How the ABS WorksA computer continuously monitors wheel speed. The computer compares the changes in wheel speed when braking. If the wheels slow suddenly, indicating askidding situation, the computer will change braking pressure several times each second to prevent the wheels fromlocking. When you start your vehicle after a stop you may hear a momentary motor noise as the system checks itself.

(Continued)• If the ABS warning light (1) and theBrake system warning light (2) on the instrument panel simultane- ously stays on or comes on whendriving, both anti-lock function and rear brake force control function (proportioning val ve function) of the ABS system may have failed. If so, the rear wheels may easily skid or the vehicle can even spin in theworst case when braking on a slip- pery road or when hard braking even on a dry paved road. Ask yourMARUTI SUZUKI dealer to inspect the ABS system immediately. Drive carefully, avoiding hard braking asmuch as possible.
WA R N I N G
The ABS may not work properly iftires or wheels other than thosespecified in the owner’s manual are used. This is because the ABS works by comparing changes in wheelspeed. When replacing tires or wheels, use only the size and type specified in this owner’s manual.

You should take extreme care when working on your vehicle to preventaccidental injury. Here are a few pre- cautions that you should be espe- cially careful to observe:(Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)• To prevent damage or unintendedactivation of the air bag system be sure the battery is disconnected and the ignition switch has been inthe “LOCK” position for at least 90 seconds before performing any electrical service work on yourMARUTI SUZUKI. Do not touch air bag system components, or wires. The wires are wrapped with yellowtape or yellow tubing, and the cou- plers are yellow for easy identifica- tion.• Do not leave the engine running in garages or other confined areas. • When the engine is running, keephands, clothing, tools, and other objects away from the fan and drive belt. Even though the fan may notbe moving, it can automatically turn on without warning. • When it is necessary to do servicework with the engine running, make sure that the parking brake is set fully and the transaxle is in Neutral.• Do not touch ignition wires or other ignition system parts when start- ing the engine or when the engineis running, or you could receive an electric shock. (Continued)
WA R N I N G
(Continued)• Be careful not to touch a hotengine, exhaust manifold and pipes, muffler, radiator and water hoses.• Do not allow smoking, sparks, or flames around fuel or the battery. Flammable fumes are present.• Do not get under your vehicle if it is supported only with the portable jack provided in your vehicle.• Be careful not to cause accidental short circuits be tween the positive and negative battery terminals.• Keep used oil, coolant, and other fluids away from children and pets. Dispose of used fluids properly;never pour them on the ground, into sewers, etc.

“MAX” and “MIN” lines. If the brake fluid level is near the “MIN” line, fill it up to the “MAX” line with Maruti genuine brake fluid.
NOTE: With disc brakes, the fluid level can beexpected to gradually fall as the brake pads wear.
Brake PedalCheck if the brake peda l stops at the regu- lar height without “spongy” feeling when you depress it. If not, have the brake sys- tem inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKIdealer. If you doubt the brake pedal for the regular height, check it as follows:
54G108
Pedal to floor car pet minimum dis- tance “a”: 66 mm (2.6 in.)
With the engine running, measure the dis- tance between the brake pedal and floorcarpet when the pedal is depressed with approximately 30 kg (66 lbs) of force. The minimum distance required is as specified.Since your vehicle’s brake system is self- adjusting, there is no need for pedal adjustment. If the pedal to floor carpet distance as measured above is less than the minimum distance required, have your vehicleinspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
WA R N I N G
Failure to follow the guidelines below can result in personal injury or seri-ous damage to the brake system. • If the brake fluid in the reservoir drops below a certain level, thebrake warning light on the instru- ment panel will come on (the engine must be running with theparking brake fully disengaged). Should the light come on, immedi- ately ask your MARUTI SUZUKIdealer to inspect the brake system. • A rapid fluid loss indicates a leak in the brake system which should beinspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer immediately. • Do not use any fluid other thanMaruti genuine brake fluid. Do not use reclaimed fluid or fluid that has been stored in old or open contain-ers. It is essential that foreign parti- cles and other liquids are kept out of the brake fluid reservoir.
CAUTION
Brake fluid can harm your eyes anddamage painted surfaces. Use cau- tion when refilling the reservoir.
WA R N I N G
Brake fluid is harmful or fatal if swal- lowed, and harmful if it comes in con-tact with skin or e yes. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Immediately contact a poison control center or aphysician. If brake fluid gets in eyes, flush eyes with water and seek medi- cal attention. Wash thoroughly afterhandling. Solution can be poisonous to animals. Keep out of the reach of children and animals.

If the Starter Does Not
Operate
1) Try turning the ignition switch to the “START” position with the headlights turned on to determine the battery con- dition. If the headlights go excessivelydim or go off, it usually means that either the battery is flat or the battery terminal contact is poor. Recharge thebattery or correct battery terminal con- tact as necessary. 2) If the headlights remain bright, checkthe fuses. If the reason for failure of the starter is not obvious, there may be a major electrical problem. Have the vehi-cle inspected by your authorized MAR- UTI SUZUKI dealer.
If the Engine is Flooded
If the engine is flooded with petrol, it may be hard to start. If this happens, press theaccelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it there while cranking the engine. For petrol engine model, do not operatethe starter motor for more than 12 sec- onds. For diesel engine model, do not operatethe starter motor for more than 30 sec- onds.
If the Engine Overheats
The engine could overheat temporarily under severe driving conditions. If the highengine coolant temperature warning light comes on as overheating during driving: 1) Turn off the air conditioner, if equipped.2) Take the vehicle to a safe place and park. 3) Let the engine run at the normal idlespeed for a few minutes until the high engine coolant temperature warning light goes off.
If the high engine coolant temperature warning light does not go off: 1) Turn off the engine and check that the water pump belt and pulleys are notdamaged or slipping. If any abnormality is found, correct it.
2) Check the coolant level in the reservoir. If it is found to be lower than the “LOW” line, look for leaks at the radiator, waterpump, and radiator and heater hoses. If you locate any leaks that may have caused the overheating, do not run theengine until these problems have been corrected. 3) If you do not find a leak, carefully addcoolant to the reservoir and then the radiator, if necessary. (Refer to “Engine Coolant” in the “INSPECTION ANDMAINTENANCE” section.)
NOTE: If your engine overheats and you are unsure what to do, contact your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
WA R N I N G
If you see or hear escaping steam,stop the vehicle in a safe place andimmediately turn off the engine to let it cool. Do not open the hood when steam is present. When the steamcan no longer be seen or heard, open the hood to see if the coolant is still boiling. If it is, you must wait until itstops boiling before you proceed.

WA R N I N G
• It is hazardous to remove the radia- tor cap (or degassing tank cap for adiesel engine) when the water tem- perature is high, because scalding fluid and steam may be blown outunder pressure. The cap should only be taken off when the coolant temperature has lowered.• To help prevent personal injury, keep hands, tools and clothing away from the engine cooling fanand air-conditioner fan (if equipped). These electric fans can automatically turn on without warn- ing.
