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.

the identification code to the vehicle when
the key is turned to the “ON” position. If

be programmed with the correct identifica-
tion code for the spare keys. A key made
