w WARNING
Your vehicle has monocoque body
construction which provides for
certain crumple zones in the body
which absorbs larger part of impact
energy in the event of a front collision
and protects the occupants from
impact. Do not use any fitments
such as crash guards. These
fitments will increase the risk to the
occupants because of the shock
directly getting transmitted to the
occupants.
CAUTION
Improper instllation of mobile
communication equipment such as
cellular telephones or CB (Citizen's
Band) radios may cause electronic
interference with your vehicle's
ignition system, resulting in vehicle
performance problems. Consult your
MARUTI SUZUKI dealer or qualified
service technician for advice on
installing such mobile communi-
cation equipment.

If you must use snow chains to increase tyre
traction, observe the following precautions:
Use cable type chains.
Choose a safe place away from traffic
to install the chains.
When installing the chains carefully
follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Install the chains on the front tyres.
With the chains on, drive only at slow
and moderate speeds.
If the chain hits the vehicle body while
driving, stop at a safe place and
retighten it as soon as possible.
If snow and/or ice on the road
disappear, remove the chains as soon
as possible.
If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck
If your vehicle gets stuck in snow, mud,
or sand, follow the directions below:
1) Change back and forth between a
forward range (or first gear for manual
transmission) and reverse. This will
create a rocking motion which may give
you enough momentum to free the
vehicle. Press gently on the accelerator
to keep wheel spin to a minimum.
Remove your foot from the accelerator
while changing gear.
Do not race the engine. Excessive wheel
spin will cause the tyres to dig deeper,
making it more difficult to free the
vehicle.2) If your vehicle remains stuck after a few
minutes of rocking, get another vehicle
to pull you out.
Do not allow anyone to stand near the
vehicle when you are rocking it, and
do not spin the wheels faster than an
indicated 40 km/h on the speedometer.
Personal injury and/or vehicle damage
may result from spinning the wheels
too fast.
Do not continue rocking the vehicle
for more than a few minutes.
Prolonged rocking can cause engine
overheating or transmission damage. Make sure your tyres are in good
condition and always maintain the
specified tyre pressure. Refer to
“TYRES” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section for details.
Do not use tyres other than those
specified by MARUTI SUZUKI. Never
use different sizes or types of tyres
on the front and rear wheels. For
information regarding the specified
tyres, refer to the “SPECI-
FICATIONS” section.
Never use oversized tyres or special
shock absorbers and springs to
raise (jack up) your vehicle. This will
change the handling characteristics.
After driving through water, test the
brakes while driving at a slow speed
to see if they have maintained their
normal effectiveness. If the brakes
are less effective than normal, dry
them by repeatedly applying the
brakes while driving slowly until the
brakes have regained their normal
effectiveness.

The rear shock absorbers are filled with
high pressure gas. Never attempt to
disassemble it or throw it into a fire.
Avoid storing it near a heater or heating
device. When scrapping the absorber,
the gas must be released from the
absorber safely. Ask your dealer for
assistance. All maintenance should be carried out with
the ignition switch in the “OFF” position
and the car parked securely on the level
ground unless otherwise specified.
If you are in any way unsure of your
ability to undertake a task, then do not
start it but contact your MARUTI SUZUKI
dealer to perform the work for you.
