INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
GEAR OIL
CAUTION
To prevent oil leakage, make sure that
the oil filter is tight, but do not
overtighten it.
Refill with oil and check for leaks.
1) Pour 3.1 litres of oil through the filler hole
and install the filler cap.
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.
CAUTION
When replacing the oil filter, it is
recommended that you use a genuine
MARUTI replacement filter.
60G-09-006
CAUTION
Oil leaks from around the oil filter or
drain plug indicate incorrect
installation or gasket damage. If you
find any leaks or are not sure that the
fitter has been properly tightened, have
the vehicle inspected by your MARUTI
dealer.

Gear oil level check
To check the gear oil level, use the following
procedure:
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface with
the parking brake applied.
2) Clean casing around oil filler plug to
remove risk of any loose dirt or debris
entering oil filler plug hole. Remove the oil
filler plug ©.
3) Feel the inside of the hole with your finger.
If the oil level comes up to the bottom of
the plug hole, the oil level is correct. If so,
reinstall the plug.
4) If the oil level is low, add gear oil through
the filler plug hole © until the oil level
reaches the bottom of the filler hole, then
reinstall the plug.
After driving the vehicle, the
transmission oil temperature may be
high enough to burn you. Wait until the
oil filler plug is cool enough to touch
with your bare hands before inspecting
transmission oil.
CAUTION
When tightening the plug, apply sealing
compound to the plug threads to
prevent oil leakage.

Since special procedures, materials and tools
are required, it is recommended that you trust
this job to your authorized MARUTI dealer.

Coolant Level Check
Check the coolant level at the reservoir tank,
not at the radiator. With the engine cool, the
coolant level should be between the "FULL"
and "LOW" marks.
Adding Coolant
If the Coolant level is below the "LOW" mark,
more coolant should be added. Remove the
reservoir tank cap and add coolant until the
reservoir tank level reaches the "FULL" mark.
Never fill the reservoir tank above the "FULL"
mark.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
When adding or replacing coolant,
use a high quality ethylene glycol
antifreeze and anticorrosion (Non-
Amine type) diluted with distilled
water. If the lowest ambient
temperature in your area is expected
to be -15°C (5°F) or above, make the
antifreeze concentration of the
mixture you use at least 30% but no
more than 50%. If -16°C (3°F) or
below, make the concentration at
least 50%. If the 50% concentration
does not provide adequate
protection against freezing, follow
the instructions on the antifreeze
container to obtain the desired
freezing point.
When putting the cap on the
reservoir tank, line up the arrow on
the cap and the arrow on the tank,
or coolant can leak out.

Coolant Replacement
1) When the engine is cool, remove the
radiator cap by turning it slowly to the left
until a "stop" is felt. Do not press down
while turning the cap. Wait until any
pressure is released, then press down on
the cap and continue turning it
anticlockwise.
60G-09-039E
It is dangerous to remove the radiator
cap when the water temperature is
high, because scalding fluid and steam
may be blown out under pressure. Watt
until the coolant temperature has
lowered before removing the cap.
2) Remove the reservoir tank cap. Remove
the reservoir by lifting it up, and drain the
reservoir completely by pouring the
coolant in to a suitable container.

3) Loosen the drain plug attached to the
lower part of the radiator and drain the
coolant into a suitable container.
4) Tighten the drain plug on the radiator, fill
the radiator with coolant and install the
radiator cap.
5) Refit the reservoir and fill it with the correct
coolant to the "FULL" line. Refit the
reservoir tank cap, ensuring the arrows are
correctly aligned.
CAUTION
The coolant must be replaced with the
vehicle on level ground.
63B-09-001
Check that there is washer fluid in the tank.
Refill it if necessary. Use a good quality
windscreen washer fluid, diluted with water as
necessary.
Do not use "antifreeze" solution in the
windscreen washer reservoir.This can
severely impair visibility when sprayed
on the windscreen, and can also
damage your vehicle's paint.
CAUTION
Damage may result if the washer motor
is operated whilst the fluid or fluid
nozzles are frozen or with no fluid in
the washer tank.

If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there
will be greater intake resistance, resulting in
decreased power output and increased fuel
consumption.
Take out the air cleaner element after
unhooking the clamps shown in the illustration.
Blow off dust on air cleaner element by
compressed air. If the air cleaner element
appears to be dirty, replace it with a new one.

EMERGENCY SERVICE

WARNING TRIANGLE (TYPE-1)
If the temperature indication does not come
down to within the normal, acceptable range:
1) Turn off the engine and check that the
water pump belt and pulleys are not
damaged or slipping. If any abnormality is
found, correct it.
2) Check the coolant level in the reservoir. If
it is found to be lower than the "LOW" line,
look for leaks at the radiator, water pump,
and radiator and heater hoses. If you
locate any leaks that may have caused the
overheating, do not run the engine until
these problems have been corrected.
3) If you do not find a leak, carefully add
coolant to the reservoir and then the
radiator, if necessary. (Refer to "ENGINE
COOLANr in the "INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE" section.)
K is dangerous to remove the radiator
cap when the water temperature is
high, because scalding fluid and steam
may be blown out under pressure. The
cap should only be taken off when the
coolant temperature has lowered.
To help prevent personal Injury, keep
hands, tools and clothing away from the
engine cooling fan and airconditioner
fan (if equipped). These electric fans
can automatically turn on without
warning.
