Vehicle equipped with electronic fuelinjection 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 jumplead 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

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. I
f 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)
