Drive Belt
Make sure the drive belt tension is correct.
If the belt is too loose, insufficient battery
charging, engine overheating, poor power
steering, poor air conditioning, or exces-
sive belt wear can result. When you press
the belt with your thumb midway between
the pulleys, there should be a deflection
according to the following chart.
The belts should also be examined to
ensure that they are not damaged.
If you need to replace or adjust the belt
have it done by your MARUTI SUZUKI
dealer.F8D

cosity according to the above chart.
SAE 5W-30 (1) is the best choice for good
fuel economy, and good starting in cold
weather.

Coolant ReplacementSince special procedures are required, we
recommend you take your vehicle to your
MARUTI SUZUKI dealer for coolant
replacement.
Air Cleaner
ALTO 800
53MM07007
NOTE:
Remove hose (1) from air cleaner case
before unclamping.
ALTO K10
53M-09-017
Unclamp/Unscrew the side clamps/screws,
and remove the element from the air
cleaner case. If it appears to be dirty,
replace it with a new one.
Spark Plugs
You should inspect spark plugs periodically
for carbon deposits. When carbon accu-
mulates on a spark plug, a strong spark
may not be produced. Remove carbon
deposits with a wire or pin and adjust the
spark plug gap.
NOTE:
For ALTO K10: Unclamp the air filter bolt
and then remove the air cleaner case.
ALTO K10
53M-09-019
To access the spark plugs:
1) If necessary, disconnect the coupler (1)
while pushing the release lever.
2) Remove the ignition coil bolts (2).3) Pullout the ignition coil (3) and remove
the spark plug.
NOTE:
When installation, make sure the wires,
couplers, sealing rubber of top cover and
washers, are correctly returned in place.

NOTICE
• When pulling the ignition coils out,
do not pull on the cable. Pulling on
the cable can damage it.
• When servicing the iridium/plati-
num spark plugs (slender center
electrode type plugs), do not touch
the center electrode, as it is easy to
damage.
