HORN
To prevent damage to the windscreen
wiper and washer system components,
you should take the following
precautions:
Do not continue to hold in the lever
when there is no windscreen washer
fluid being sprayed or the washer
motor can be damaged.
Do not attempt to remove dirt from
a dry windscreen with the wipers or
you can damage the windscreen and
the wiper blades. Always wet the
windscreen with washer fluid before
operating the wipers.
Clear ice or packed snow from the
wiper blades before using the
wipers.
Check the washer fluid level
regularly. Check it often when the
weather is bad.
Only fill the washer fluid reservoir
3/4 full during cold weather to allow
room for expansion if the
temperature falls low enough to
freeze the solution.Press the horn button of the steering wheel
to sound the horn. The horn will sound with
the ignition switch in any position.

Windscreen Washer
To spray windscreen washer fluid, pull the
lever toward you. The windscreen wipers
will automatically turn on at low speed if
they are not already on and the "INT"
position is equipped.
To prevent windscreen icing in cold
weather, turn on the defroster to heat
the windscreen before and during
windscreen washer use.
Do not use radiator antifreeze in the
windscreen washer reservoir. It can
severely impair visibility when
sprayed on the windscreen, and can
also damage your vehicle’s paint.

Indicator light
This light operates under three different type
of operations :
1) The light comes on briefly when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON” postion.
2) The light comes on when the parking
brake is engaged with the ignition switch in
the “ON” position.
3) The light comes on when the fluid in the
brake fluid reservoir falls below the
adequate level.
The light should go out after starting the
engine and fully releasing the parking brake,
if the fluid level in the brake fluid resevoir
is adequate.
If the light does not go off or comes on
whilst your driving, it may mean that there
is something wrong with the vehicle's
braking system. If this happens, you should:1) Pull off the road and stop carefully.
Remember that stopping distance may
be longer, you may have to push harder
on the pedal, and the pedal may go
down farther than normal.
2) Test the brakes by carefully starting and
stopping at the side of the road.
3) If you determine that it is safe, drive
carefully at low speed to the nearest
dealer for repairs. or
4) Have the vehicle towed to the nearest
dealer for repairs.

NOTE:
Because the disc brake system is self
adjusting, the fluid level will drop as the
brake pads become worn.
Replenishing the brake fluid reservoir is
considered normal periodic maintenance.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

CAUTION
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 30/
70 coolant to distilled water.
Concentrations greater than 70/30
coolant to distilled water will cause
over heating conditions.
Do not use straight coolant nor
plain water.
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 damage.Coolant Level Check
Check 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
If the coolant level is below the “LOW”
mark, more coolant should be added.
Remove the reservoir tank cap and add
coolant until the reservoir tank level reaches
the “FULL” mark. Never fill the reservoir
tank above the “FULL” mark.
CAUTION
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.
When putting the cap on the reser-
voir tank, line up the arrow on the
cap and the arrow on the tank. Fail-
ure to follow this can result in cool-
ant leakage.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 10176G-74EWINDSCREEN WASHER FLUIDCheck that there is washer fluid in the tank.
Refill it if necessary. Use a good quality
windscreen washer fluid, diluted with water
as necessary.
Do not use “antifreeze” solution in the
windscreen washer reservoir. This can
severely impair visibility when sprayed
on the windscreen, and can also
damage your vehicle’s paint.
Damage may result if the washer
motor is operated whilst the fluid or
fluid nozzles are frozen or with no
fluid in the washer tank.

AIR CLEANER
If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there
will be greater intake resistance, resulting
in decreased power output and increased
fuel consumption.
Take out the air cleaner element after
unhooking the clamps shown in the
illustration. Blow off dust on air cleaner
element by compressed air. If the air
cleaner element appears to be dirty, replace
it with a new one.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE9-21NOTE:
If you experience some firing problem of
spark plugs, such as, hard engine-starting,
misfire etc., the cause may be located not
only on spark plugs but also on deteriorated
ignition wiring (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.

BRAKESBrake Fluid
Check the brake fluid level by looking at the
reservoir in the engine compartment. Check
that the fluid level is between the “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.
Failure to follow the guidelines below
can result in personal injury or
serious damage to the brake system.
If the brake fluid in the reservoir
drops below a certain level, the

Do not use any fluid other than
MARUTI GENUINE brake fluid. Do
not use reclaimed fluid or fluid that
has been stored in old or open
containers. It is essential that
foreign particles and other liquids
are kept out of the brake fluid
reservoir.
The brake fluid should be replaced
every two years or 20,000 km.NOTE:
With disc brakes, the fluid level can be
expected to gradually fall as the brake pads
wear.

Brake Pedal
Check if the brake pedal stops at the
regular height without "spongy" feeling when
you depress it. If not, have the brake
system inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI
dealer. If you doubt the brake pedal for the
regular height, check it as follows:With the engine running, measure the
distance between the brake pedal and floor
silencer mat when the pedal is depressed
with approximately 30 kg (66 lbs) of force.
The minimum distance required is 110 mm
(4.3 in). Since your vehicle’s brake system
is self-adjusting, there is no need for pedal
adjustment. If the pedal to floor wall distance
as measured above is less than the minimum
distance required, have your vehicle inspected
by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.

engine until these problems have been
corrected.
3) If you do not find a leak, carefully add
coolant to the reservoir and then the
radiator, if necessary. (Refer to “ENGINE
COOLANT” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section.)
It is dangerous to remove the radiator
cap when the water temperature is
high, because scalding fluid and
steam may be blown out under
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 fan and air-
conditioner fan (if equipped). These
electric fans can automatically turn on
without warning.

1) Turn off the air conditioner, if equipped.
2) Take the vehicle to a safe place and
park.
3) Let the engine run at normal idle speed
for a few minutes until engine coolant
temperature warning light goes off.
If you see or hear escaping steam,
stop the vehicle in a safe place and
immediately turn off the engine to let
it cool. Do not open the bonnet when
steam is present. When the steam can
no longer be seen or heard, open the
hood to see if the coolant is still
boiling. If it is, you must wait until it
stops boiling before you proceed.
If the engine coolant temperature warning
light does not goes off:
1) Turn off the engine and check that the
water pump belt and pulleys are not
damaged 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, water
pump, and radiator and heater hoses. If
you locate any leaks that may have
caused the overheating, do not run the
