Do not use the starter motor for
more than 15 seconds at a time. If
the engine does not start; wait 15
seconds before trying again. If the
engine does not start after several
attempts, check the fuel and ignition
systems or consult your MARUTI
SUZUKI dealer.
Do not leave the ignition switch in
the “ON” position if the engine is
not running as the battery will
discharge.

Accessories such as the radio can operate,
but the engine is off.
ON
This is the normal operating position. All
electrical systems are on.
START
This is the position for starting the engine
using the starter motor. The key should be
released from this position as soon as the
engine starts.
Never remove the ignition key while
the vehicle is moving. The steering
wheel will lock and you will not be
able to steer the vehicle.
Do not leave children alone in a
parked vehicle. Unattended children
could cause accidental movement of
the vehicle, which could result in
severe personal injury.
Always remove the key when parked
to prevent unintentional operation of
the vehicle and to improve security.

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.

DRIVING TIPS AND SAFE DRIVING
DRIVING ON WET ROADS
When driving on wet roads, avoid
driving through large amount of
standing water on the road. Large
amount of water entering the engine
compartment may cause damage to
the engine and or electrical
components.
If stuck in deep water, do not start
till water level drops.
Water is incompressible substance,
water inside engine is harmful to the
engine.

Main Fuse and Primary Fuses
The main fuse and primary fuses are
located in the engine compartment. If the
main fuse blows, no electrical component
will function. If a primary fuse blows, no
electrical component in the corresponding
load group will function. When replacing the
main fuse or a primary fuse, use a MARUTI
genuine replacement.
If the main fuse or a primary fuse
blows, be sure to have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized MARUTI
SUZUKI dealer. Always use a MARUTI
genuine replacement. Never use a
substitute such as a wire even for a
temporary repair, or extensive
electrical damage and a fire can result.

Always be sure to replace a blown
fuse with a fuse of the correct
amperage. Never use a substitute
such as aluminium foil or wire to
replace a blown fuse. If you replace
a fuse and the new one blows in a
short period of time, you may have a
major electrical problem. Have your
vehicle inspected immediately by your
MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.NOTE:
Make sure that the fuse box always carries
spare fuses.

76G-09-043
BULB REPLACEMENT Light bulbs can be hot enough to
burn your finger right after being
turned off. This is true especially for
halogen headlight bulbs. Replace the
bulbs after they become cool
enough.
The headlight bulbs are filled with
pressurized halogen gas. They can
burst and injure you if they are hit
or dropped. Handle them carefully.
The oils from your skin may cause a
halogen bulb to overheat and burst
when the lights are on. Grasp a new
bulb with a clean cloth.
Frequent replacement of a bulb
indicates the need for an inspection of
the electrical system. This should be
carried out by your MARUTI SUZUKI
dealer.

CAUTION
Manual Transmission
Whenever possible, your vehicle should be
towed from the front with the front wheels
lifted. If the steering and drivetrain are in
good condition, your vehicle may be towed
from the rear with the rear wheels lifted and
the front wheels on the ground. Before
towing, make sure the steering is unlocked
and the transmission is in neutral.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
condition. If the headlights go
excessively dim or go off, it usually
means that either the battery is flat or
the battery terminal contact is poor.
Recharge the battery or correct battery
terminal contact as necessary.
2) If the headlights remain bright, check the
fuses. If the reason for failure of the
starter is not obvious, there may be a
major electrical problem. Have the
vehicle inspected by your authorized
MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
If the Engine is Flooded
If the engine is flooded with petrol, it may
be hard to start. If this happens, press the
accelerator pedal all the way to the floor
and hold it there while cranking the engine.
(Do not operate the starter motor for more
than 15 seconds). Release the accelerator
as soon as the engine has started.
If the Engine Overheats
The engine could overheat temporarily under
severe driving conditions. If the engine
coolant temperature warning light comes on,
it indicates overheating during driving:TOWING HOOK (If equipped)
