IGNITION SWITCHThe ignition switch has the following four
positions:
Do not use any locally made key.
Should you require duplicate key,
place your order with MARUTI
SUZUKI dealer only.LOCK
This is the normal parking position. It is the
only position in which the key can be
removed.
The “LOCK” position locks the ignition, and
prevents normal use of the steering wheel
after the key is removed.
To release the steering lock, fully insert the
key and turn it clockwise to one of the other
positions. If you have trouble turning the
key to unlock the steering, try turning the
steering wheel slightly to the right or left
while turning the key. To avoid possible injury, do not operate
controls by reaching through the steering
wheel.

Windscreen Wipers
To turn the windscreen wipers on, move the
lever down to one of the three operating
positions. In the “INT” position, (if equipped)
the wipers operate intermittently. The “INT”
position is very convenient for driving in mist
or light rain. In the “LO” position the wipers
operate at a steady low speed. In the “HI”
position, the wipers operate at a steady high
speed. To turn off the wipers, move the
lever back to the “OFF” position.

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.

Clutch Pedal

The clutch pedal is used to disengage the
drive to the wheels when starting the
engine, stopping, or shifting the transmission
lever. Depressing the pedal disengages the
clutch.
Do not drive with your foot resting on
the clutch pedal. It could result in
excessive clutch wear, clutch damage,
or unexpected loss of engine braking.Brake Pedal

Your MARUTI SUZUKI vehicle is equipped
with front disc brakes and rear drum brakes.
Depressing the brake pedal applies both
sets of brakes.
You may hear occasional brake squeal
when you apply the brakes. This is a
normal condition caused by environmental
factors such as cold, wet, snow, etc.
If brake squeal is excessive and
occurs each time the brakes are
applied, you should have the brakes
checked by your MARUTI SUZUKI
dealer.

them continuously or resting your foot
on the pedal. This will result in
overheating of the brakes which could
cause unpredictable braking action,
longer stopping distances, or
permanent brake damage.

7-5OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
RUNNING-IN
The future performance and reliability
of the engine depends on the care
and restraint exercised during its early
life. It is especially important to
observe the following precautions
during the initial 1000 km of vehicle
operation.
After starting, do not race the
engine. Warm it up gradually.
Avoid prolonged vehicle operation at
a constant speed. Moving parts will
bed in better if you vary your speed.
Do not exceed 100 km/h.
Start off from a stop slowly. Avoid
full throttle starts.
If possible, avoid hard braking,
especially during the first 300 km
of driving.
Do not drive slowly with the
transmission in a high gear.
Drive the vehicle at moderate engine
speeds.
CAUTION
Even without reserve power in the
brake system, you can still stop the
vehicle by pressing the brake pedal
harder than normally required.
However, the stopping distance may
be longer.
On loose surface where the wheels
can easily loose traction (such as
gravel, etc.), the stopping distance
required for your vehicle may be
greater than for a comparable vehicle
with a conventional brake system.
Allow for extra stopping distance
when driving on loose surfaces.

w WARNINGw ww w
w WARNING
CATALYTIC CONVERTERThe purpose of the catalytic converter
installed on your vehicle is to convert
exhaust pollutants to harmless water vapour,
carbon dioxide, and nitrogen. Use of leaded
fuel in vehicles equipped with catalytic
converters is prohibited, because lead
deactivates the pollutant-reducing compo-
nents of the catalyst system.
It is very important to keep the engine
properly tuned. Engine misfiring, which can
result from an improperly tuned engine, may
cause overheating of the catalyst. This may
result in permanent heat damage to the
catalyst and other vehicle components.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 7976G-74ESnow Chains
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.
