BEFORE DRIVING
Pregnant women should use seat
belts, although specific recommen-
dations about restraint use should
be made by the woman's medical
advisor.
Periodically inspect seat belt
assemblies for excessive wear and
damage. Seat belts should be replaced
if webbing becomes frayed,
contaminated, or damaged in any way.
It is essential to replace the entire seat
belt assembly after it has been
stressed in an impact, even if damage
to the assembly is not obvious.
Infants and small children should never
be transported unless they are properly
restrained. Restraint systems for
infants and small children can be
purchased locally and should be used.
Make sure that the system you
purchase meets applicable safety
standards. Read and follow all the
directions provided by the
manufacturer.
Avoid contamination of seat belt
webbing by polishes, oils, chemicals,
and particularly battery acid. Cleaning
may safely be carried out using mild
soap and water.
For children, if the shoulder belt
irritates the neck or face, move the child
closer to the center of the vehicle.
A WARNING
Be sure to inspect all seat belt
assemblies after any collision. Any seat
belt assembly which was in use during
a collision (other than a very minor one)
should be replaced, even if damage to
the assembly is not obvious. Any seat
belt assembly which was not in use
during a collision should be replaced
if it does not function properly or is
damaged in any way.

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.
Gear oil change
Since special procedures, materials and tools
are required, it is recommended that you trust
this job to your authorized MARUTI dealer.
60G-09-007
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.

Batteries produce flammable hydrogen
gas. Keep flames and sparks away from
the battery or an explosion may occur.
Never smoke when working in the
vicinity of the battery .
When checking or servicing the battery,
disconnect the negative cable. Be
careful not to cause a short circuit by
allowing metal objects to contact the
battery posts and the vehicle at the
same time.
To 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 "UPPER" and the "LOWER" level
lines at all times. If the level is found to be
below the "LOWER" level line, add distilled
water to the "UPPER" level line. You should
periodically check the battery, battery
terminals, and battery holddown 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.

CORROSION PREVENTION
It is important to take good care of your vehicle
to protect it from corrosion.
Listed below are instructions for how to
maintain your vehicle to prevent corrosion.
Please read and follow these instructions
carefully.
Important Information About Corrosion
Common causes of corrosion
1) Accumulation of road salt, dirt, moisture,
or chemicals in hard to reach areas of the
vehicle underbody or frame.
2) Chipping, scratches and any damage to
treated or painted metal surfaces resulting
from minor accidents or abrasion by
stones and gravel.
Environmental conditions which accelerate
corrosion
1) Road salt, dust control chemicals, sea air
or industrial pollution will all accelerate the
corrosion of metal.
2) High humidity will increase the rate of
corrosion particularly when the
temperature range is just above the
freezing point.
3) Moisture in certain areas of a vehicle for
an extended period of time may promote
corrosion even though other body sections
may be completely dry.
11-1
4) High temperatures will cause an
accelerated rate of corrosion to parts of
the vehicle which are not well ventilated
to permit quick drying.
This information illustrates the necessity of
keeping your vehicle (particularly the
underbody) as clean and dry as possible. It is
equally important to repair any damage to the
paint or protective coatings as soon as
possible.
How to Help Prevent Corrosion
Wash your vehicle frequently
The best way to preserve the finish on your
vehicle and to help avoid corrosion is to keep it
clean with frequent washing.
Wash your vehicle regularly during the winter
and immediately after the winter. Keep your
vehicle, particularly the underside, as clean and
dry as possible.
If you frequently drive on salted roads, your
vehicle should be washed at least once a month
during the winter. If you live near the ocean,
your vehicle should be washed at least once a
month throughout the year.
For washing instructions, refer to the "VEHICLE
CLEANING" section.
Remove foreign material deposits
Foreign material such as salts, chemicals, road
oil or tar, tree sap, bird droppings and industrial
fall-out may damage the finish of your vehicle
if it is left on painted surfaces. Remove these
types of deposits as quickly as possible. If these
deposits are difficult to wash off, an additional
cleaner may be required. Be sure that any
cleaner you use is not harmful to painted
surfaces and is specifically intended for your
purposes. Follow the manufacturer's directions
when using these special cleaners.
Repair finish damage
Carefully examine your vehicle for damage to
the painted surfaces. Should you find any chips
or scratches in the paint, touch them up
immediately to prevent corrosion from starting.
If the chips or scratches have gone through
to the bare metal, have a qualified body shop
make the repair.
Keep Passenger and luggage
compartments clean.
Moisture, dirt or mud can accumulate under
the floor mats and may cause corrosion.
Occasionally, check under these mats to
ensure that this area is clean and dry. More
frequent checks are necessary if the vehicle
is used off road or in wet weather.
Certain cargos such as chemicals, fertilizers,
cleaners, salts, etc., are extremely corrosive
by nature. These products should be
transported in sealed containers. If a spill or
leak does occur, clean and dry the area
immediately.
