INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
74LH0-74E
Engine CoolantSelection of CoolantTo maintain optimum performance and
durability of your engine, use MARUTI
SUZUKI Genuine Coolant or equivalent.
This type of coolant is best for your cooling
system as it:
Helps maintain proper engine tempera-
ture.
Gives proper protection against freezing
and boiling.
Gives proper protection against corro-
sion and rust.
Failure to use the proper coolant can dam-
age your cooling system. Your authorized
MARUTI SUZUKI dealer can help you
select the proper coolant.
Coolant Level CheckCheck the coolant level at the reservoir
tank, not at the radiator. With the engine
cool, the coolant level should be between
the “FULL” and “LOW” marks.Adding Coolant
(For Petrol Engine Model)
74LHT7003
Coolant level is to be maintained between
“LOW” and “FULL” mark. When the engine
is cool, remove the reservoir tank cap. Add
coolant until the reservoir tank level
NOTICE
To avoid damaging your cooling sys-
tem:
Always use a high quality ethylene
glycol base non-silicate type cool-
ant diluted with distilled water at
the correct mixture concentration.
Make sure that the proper mix is 50/
50 coolant to distilled water (Die-
sel) and 30/70 (Petrol). Concentra-
tions greater than this may cause
overheating conditions.
Neither use 100% coolant nor 100%
Plain water.
NOTICE
Do not add extra inhibitors or addi-
tives. They may not be compatible
with your cooling system.
Do not mix different types of base
coolants. Doing so may result in
accelerated seal wear and/or the
possibility of severe overheating
and extensive engine/automatic
transaxle damage.
WA R N I N G
Engine coolant is harmful or fatal if
swallowed or inhaled. Do not drink
antifreeze or coolant solution. If swal-
lowed, do not induce vomiting. Imme-
diately contact a poison control
center or a physician. Avoid inhaling
mist or hot vapors; if inhaled, remove
to fresh air. If coolant gets in eyes,
flush eyes with water and seek medi-
cal attention. Wash thoroughly after
handling. Solution can be poisonous
to animals. Keep out of the reach of
children and animals.
NOTICE
The mixture you use should con-
tain 50% concentration of anti-
freeze.
If the lowest ambient temperature
in your area is expected to be –
35°C (–31°F) or below, use higher
concentrations up to 60% following
the instructions on the antifreeze
container.

NOTE:
If your engine is equipped with the high
tension cord type ignition wiring and you
experience some firing problem of spark
plugs, such as, hard engine-starting, mis-
fire etc., the cause may be located not only
on spark plugs but also on deteriorated
ignition wirings (generally, used for more
than 80,000 km or five years). If spark plug
replacement does not solve the problem,
have the ignition wiring and other ignition
system inspected by your MARUTI
SUZUKI dealer.Gear OilManual Transaxle Oil / Auto Gear
Shift OilWhen adding gear oil, use gear oil with the
appropriate viscosity and grade.
We highly recommend you use:
"MARUTI SUZUKI GEAR OIL 75W-80" for
manual transaxle gear oil or Auto Gear
Shift Oil.
Gear Oil Level CheckManual transmission
74LHT0714
(1) Oil filler and level plug
(for Petrol engine model)
(2) Oil filler and level plug
(for diesel engine model)
To check the gear oil level, use the fol-
lowing procedure:
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface with
the parking brake applied. Then, stop
the engine.
2) Remove the oil filler plug (1) or (2) .
3) Check the inside of the hole with your
finger. If the oil level comes up to the
bottom of the plug hole, the oil level is
correct. If so, reinstall the plug.
4) If the oil level is low, add gear oil
through the oil filler plug hole (1) or (2)
until the oil level reaches the bottom of
the filler hole, then reinstall the plug.

EXAMPLE
CAUTION
After driving the vehicle, the trans-
mission oil temperature may be high
enough to burn you. Wait until the oil
filler plug is cool enough to touch
with your bare hands before inspect-
ing transmission oil level.
NOTICE
When tightening the plug, apply the
following sealing compound or
equivalent to the plug threads to pre-
vent oil leakage.

9-1APPEARANCE CARE
74LH0-74E
APPEARANCE CARECorrosion PreventionIt is important to take good care of your
vehicle to protect it from corrosion. Listed
below are instructions for how to maintain
your vehicle to prevent corrosion. Please
read and follow these instructions carefully.Important Information About Corro-
sionCommon causes of corrosion
1) Accumulation of road salt, dirt, mois-
ture, or chemicals in hard-to-reach
areas of the vehicle underbody or
frame.
2) Chipping, scratches and any damage to
treated or painted metal surfaces
resulting from minor accidents or abra-
sion by stones and gravel.
Environmental conditions which accel-
erate corrosion
1) 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 to
permit 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 damage
to the paint or protective coatings as soon
as possible.
How to Help Prevent CorrosionWash your vehicle frequently
The best way to preserve the finish on your
vehicle and to help avoid corrosion is to
keep 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, your
vehicle should be washed at least once a
month during the winter. If you live near the
ocean, your vehicle should be washed at
least once a month throughout the year.
For washing instructions, refer to the “Vehi-
cle Cleaning” section.Remove foreign material deposits
Foreign material such as salts, chemicals,
road oil or tar, tree sap, bird droppings and
industrial fall-out may damage the finish of
your vehicle if it is left on painted surfaces.
Remove these types of deposits as quickly
as 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.
Follow the manufacturer’s directions when
using these special cleaners.
Repair finish damage
Carefully examine your vehicle for damage
to the painted surfaces. Should you find
any chips or scratches in the paint, touch
them up immediately to prevent corrosion
from starting. If the chips or scratches have
gone through to the bare metal, contact
your Maruti Suzuki Authorized Dealer.
Keep passenger and luggage compart-
ments clean
Moisture, dirt or mud can accumulate
under the floor mats and may cause corro-
sion. Occasionally, check under these mats
to ensure that this area is clean and dry.
More frequent checks are necessary if the
vehicle is used off road or in wet weather.Certain cargoes such as chemicals, fertiliz-
ers, cleaners, salts, etc. are extremely cor-
rosive by nature. These products should
be transported in sealed containers. If a
spill or leak does occur, clean and dry the
area immediately.
