You should take extreme care when
working on your vehicle to prevent
accidental injury. Here are a few
precautions that you should be
especially careful to observe:
Do not leave the engine running ingarages or other confined areas.
When the engine is running, keep hands, clothing, tools, and other
objects away from the fan and water
pump belt. Even though the fan may
not be moving, it can automatically
turn on without warning. When it is necessary to do service
work with the engine running, make
sure that the parking brake is
applied fully and the transmission is
in Neutral.
Do not touch ignition wires or other
ignition system parts when starting
the engine or when the engine is
running, or you could receive an
electric shock.
Be careful not to touch a hot engine, exhaust manifold and pipes,
muffler, radiator and water hoses.
Do not allow smoking, sparks, or flames around gasoline or the
battery. Flammable fumes are
present.
Do not get under your vehicle if it is supported only with the portable
jack provided in your vehicle.
Be careful not to cause accidental short circuits between the positive
and negative battery terminals.
Keep used oil, coolant, and other
fluids away from children and pets.
Dispose of used fluids properly;
never pour them on the ground, into
sewers, etc.INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE9-1

The rear shock absorbers are filled with
high pressure gas. Never attempt to
disassemble it or throw it into a fire.
Avoid storing it near a heater or heating
device. When scrapping the absorber,
the gas must be released from the
absorber safely. Ask your dealer for
assistance. All maintenance should be carried out with
the ignition switch in the “OFF” position
and the car parked securely on the level
ground unless otherwise specified.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE9-11ENGINE OIL AND FILTERSpecified oil
Be sure that the engine oil you use comes
under the API classification of SF, SG or
SH. The recommended engine oil is SF
20W40 (1). Select the appropriate oil
viscosity according to the above chart.
Oil Level Check
It is important to keep the engine oil at the
correct level for proper lubrication of your
vehicle’s engine. Check the oil level with the
vehicle on a level surface. The oil level
indication may be inaccurate if the vehicle
is on a slope. The oil level should be
checked either before starting the engine or
at least 5 minutes after stopping the engine.
Pull out the oil dipstick, wipe oil off with a
clean cloth, insert the dipstick all the way
into the engine, then remove it again. The
oil on the stick should be between the
upper and lower limits shown on the stick.
If the oil level indication is near the lower
limit, add enough oil to raise the level to
the upper limit.
76G-09-00376G-09-004
(1) Preferred
Be sure that the engine oil you use comes
under the quality classification of SG+, SL
& SJ. Select the appropriate oil viscosity
according to the above chart.
SAE 5W30 (1) is the best choice for good
fuel economy, and good starting in cold
weather.
Failure to check the oil level regularly
could lead to serious engine trouble
due to insufficient oil.

Refilling
Remove the oil filler cap and pour oil slowly
through the filler hole to bring the oil level
to the upper limit on the dipstick. Be careful
not to overfill. Too much oil is almost as
bad as too little oil. After refilling, start the
engine and allow it to idle for about a
minute. Stop the engine, wait for five
minutes and check the oil level again.
Changing Engine Oil and Filter
Drain the engine oil while the engine is still
warm.
1) Remove the oil filler cap.
2) Place a drain pan under the drain plug.
3) Using the correct spanner remove thedrain plug and drain out the engine oil.
The engine oil temperature may be high
enough to burn your fingers when the
drain plug is loosened. Wait until the
drain plug is cool enough to touch with
your bare hands.
ww ww
w WARNING
New and used oil can be hazardous.
Children and pets may be harmed by
swallowing new or used oil. Keep new
and used oil and used oil filters away
from children and pets.
Continuous contact with used engine
oil may cause (skin) cancer.
Brief contact with used oil may irritate
skin.
To minimize your exposure to used
oil, wear a long-sleeve shirt and
moistureproof gloves (such as
dishwashing gloves) when changing
oil. If oil contacts your skin, wash
thoroughly with soap and water.
Launder any clothing or rags if wet
with oil.
Recycle or properly dispose of used
oil and filters.
4. Reinstall the drain plug and new gasket. Tighten the plug with a wrench to the
specified torque.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE9-13Replace the oil filter
1) Using an oil filter wrench, turn the oilfilter counterclockwise and remove it.
2) Using a clean rag, wipe off the mounting surface on the engine where the new
filter will be seated.
3) Smear a little engine oil around the rubber gasket of the new oil filter.
4) Screw on the new filter by hand until the filter gasket contacts the mounting
surface.
To tighten the oil filter properly, it is
important to accurately identify the
position at which the filter gasket
first contacts the mounting surface.
5. Tighten the filter specified turn from the point of contact with the mounting sur-
face (or to the specified torque) using an
oil filter wrench.
Tightening torque for oil filter
1 turn or
14 Nm (1.4 kg-m, 10.5 lb-ft)
CAUTION
Refill with oil and check for leaks.
1) Pour oil through the filler hole and install the filler cap.
For the approximate capacity of the oil,
refer to the "CAPACITIES" item in the
"SPECIFICATIONS" section.
2) Start the engine and look carefully for leaks at the oil filter and drain plug. Run
the engine at various speeds for at least
5 minutes.
3) Stop the engine and wait for 5 minutes. Check the oil level again and add oil if
necessary. Check for leaks again.
When replacing the oil filter, it is
recommended that you use a genuine
MARUTI replacement filter.
Oil leaks from around the oil filter or
drain plug indicate incorrect installa-
tion or gasket damage. If you find any
leaks or are not sure that the filter
has been properly tightened, have the
vehicle inspected by your MARUTI
SUZUKI dealer.

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 notonly on spark plugs but also on deteriorated
ignition wiring (generally, used for more than80,000 km or five years). If spark plugreplacement does not solve the problem,
have the ignition wiring and other ignitionsystem inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKIdealer.

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

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE9-29To avoid harm to yourself or damage
to your vehicle or battery, follow the
jump starting instructions in the
EMERGENCY SERVICE section of this
manual if it is necessary to jump start
your vehicle.
The level of the battery solution must be
kept between the “MAX” and the “MIN” level
lines at all times. If the level is found to be
below the “MIN” level line, add distilled
water to the “MAX” level line. You should
periodically check the battery, battery
terminals, and battery hold-down bracket for
corrosion. Remove corrosion using a stiff
brush and ammonia mixed with water, or
baking soda mixed with water. After
removing corrosion, rinse with clean water.
If your vehicle is not going to be driven for
a month or longer, disconnect the cable from
the negative terminal of the battery to help
prevent discharge.
