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

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.

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.

EXHAUST GAS WARNING
with the engine running, make sure
the air intake lever is set to “FRESH
AIR” and the fan is at high speed.
Avoid operating the vehicle with the
rearend door open. If it is necessary
to operate the vehicle with the
rearend door open, make sure all
the windows are closed and the fan
is at high speed with the air intake
lever set to "FRESH AIR".
To allow proper operation of your
vehicle’s ventilation system, keep
the air inlet grille in front of the
windscreen clear of snow, leaves, or
other obstructions at all times.
Keep the exhaust tailpipe area clear
of snow and other material to help
reduce the buildup of exhaust gases
under the vehicle. This is
particularly important when parked
in blizzard conditions.
Have the exhaust system inspected
periodically for damage and leaks.
Any damage or leaks should be
repaired immediately.

Before driving:
1)
Make sure that windows, mirrors, lights,
and reflectors are clean and unobstructed.
2) Check the tyres.
3) Look for fluid and oil leaks.NOTE:
It is normal for water to drip from the air
conditioning system after use.4) Adjust the seat/head restraint.
5) Check the brake pedal and the parking
brake lever.
6) Adjust the mirrors.
7) Make sure that you and passengers
have properly fastened your seat belts.

“START” position.
9) Check all gauges.
10) Make sure that the brake fluid level
warning light is off when the parking
brake is released with the engine
running.
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLEAvoid breathing exhaust gases.
Exhaust gases contain carbon
monoxide, a potentially lethal gas that
is colourless and odourless. Since
carbon monoxide is difficult to detect
by itself, be sure to take the following
precautions to help prevent carbon
monoxide from entering your vehicle.
Do not leave the engine running in
garages or other confined areas.
Do not park with the engine running
for a long period of time, even in an
open area. If it is necessary to sit
for a short time in a parked vehicle

OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
Be careful where you park and drive;
the catalytic converter and other
exhaust components can get very hot.
As with any vehicle, do not park or
operate this vehicle in areas where
combustible materials such as dry
grass or leaves can come in contact
with a hot exhaust system.
w ww w
w WARNING
To minimize the possibility of catalyst
or other vehicle damage:
Maintain the engine in the proper
operating condition.
In the event of an engine
malfunction, particularly one
involving engine misfire or other
apparent loss of performance, have
the vehicle serviced promptly.
Do not turn off the engine or
interrupt the ignition when the
transmission is in gear and the
vehicle is in motion.
Do not try to start the engine by
pushing or towing the vehicle, or
coasting down a hill.
Do not idle the engine with any
spark plug wires disconnected or
removed, such as during diagnostic
testing.
Do not idle the vehicle for
prolonged periods if idling seems
rough or there are other
malfunctions.
Do not allow the fuel tank to get
near the empty level.
CAUTION
IMPROVING FUEL ECONOMYThe following instructions will help you
improve fuel economy.
Avoid excessive idling:
If you are to wait for more than a minute
while you are parked, stop the engine and
start it again later. When warming up a cold
engine, allow the engine to idle for some
time.
Avoid “fast” starts:
Fast starts away from lights or stop signs
will consume fuel unnecessarily and shorten
engine life. Start off slowly.
Avoid unnecessary stops:
Avoid unnecessary deceleration and
stopping. Try to maintain a slow, steady
speed whenever possible. Slowing down
and then accelerating again uses more fuel.
Keep a steady cruising speed:
Keep as constant a speed as road and
traffic conditions will permit.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
9-32
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.

Vehicle equipped with electronic fuel
injection system will not start by
pushing or towing as the fuel pump
will not work in this condition. This
starting method could also result in
permanent damage to the catalytic
converter. Use jump leads to start a
vehicle with a weak or flat battery.When jump starting your vehicle, use the
following procedure:
1) Use only a 12 volt battery to jump start
your vehicle. Position the good 12V
battery close to your vehicle so that the
jump leads will reach both batteries.
When using a battery installed on
another vehicle, DO NOT LET THE
VEHICLES TOUCH. Apply the parking
brakes fully on both vehicles.
2) Turn off all vehicle accessories, except
those necessary for safety reasons (for
example, headlights or hazard lights).3) Make jump lead connections as follows:
a) Connect one end of the first jump
lead to the positive (+) terminal of the
flat battery.
b) Connect the other end to the positive
(+) terminal of the booster battery.
c) Connect one end of the second jump
lead to the negative (-) terminal of
the booster battery.
d) Make the final connection to an
unpainted, heavy metal part of the
engine of the vehicle with the flat
battery.
Never connect the jump lead directly
to the negative (-) terminal of the
discharged battery, or an explosion
may occur.
4) If the booster battery you are using is
fitted to another vehicle, start the engine
of the vehicle with the booster battery.
Run the engine at moderate speed.
5) Start the engine of the vehicle with the
flat battery.
6) Remove the jump leads in the exact
reverse order in which you connected
them.EMERGENCY SERVICE10-3
