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.
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.

BODY WORK CARE
Store your vehicle in a dry, well-ventilated
area.
Do not park your vehicle in a damp, poorly
ventilated area. If you often wash your vehicle
in the garage or if you frequently drive it in
when wet, your garage may be damp.The high
humidity in the garage may cause or
accelerate corrosion. A wet vehicle may
corrode even in a heated garage if the
ventilation is poor.
Do not apply additional undercoating
or rust preventive coating on or around
exhaust system components such as
the exhaust pipes, etc. A fire could be
started if the undercoating substance
becomes overheated.
Cover your vehicle
If you cannot regularly park your vehicle in a
garage, we recommend you use a vehicle
cover. Years of exposure to midday sun can
cause the colours in paint, plastic parts, and
fabrics to fade. Covering your vehicle with a
high-quaiity, "breathable" vehicle cover can
help protect the finish from the harmful UV
rays in sunlight, and can reduce the amount
of dust and air pollution reaching the surface.

VEHICLE CLEANING
When cleaning the interior or exterior
of the vehicle, NEVER USE flammable
solvents such as lacquer thinners,
petrol, benzene or cleaning materials
such as bleach or strong household
detergents. The materials could cause
personal injury or damage to the
vehicle.
Cleaning the Interior
Vinyl upholstery
Prepare a solution of soap or mild detergent
mixed with warm water. Apply the solution to
the vinyl with a sponge or soft cloth and let it
soak for a few minutes to loosen dirt. Rub the
surface with a clean, damp cloth to remove
dirt and the soap solution. If some dirt still
remains on the surface, repeat this procedure.
Fabric upholstery
Remove loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner. Using
a mild soap solution, rub stained areas with a
clean damp cloth. To remove soap, rub the
areas again with a cloth dampened with water.
Repeat this until the stain is removed, or use a
commercial fabric cleaner for tougher stains. If
you use a fabric cleaner, carefully follow the
manufacturer's instructions and precautions.
Seat Belts
Clean seat belts with a mild soap and water.
Do not use bleach or dye on the belts. They
may weaken the fabric in the belts.
Vinyl floor mats
Ordinary dirt can be removed from vinyl with
water or mild soap. Use a brush to help loosen
dirt. After the dirt is loosened, rinse the mat
thoroughly with water and dry it in the shade.
Carpets
Remove dirt and soil as much as possible with
a vacuum cleaner. Using a mild soap solution,
rub stained areas with a clean damp cloth.To
remove soap, rub the areas again with a cloth
dampened with water. Repeat this until the
stain is removed, or use a commercial carpet
cleaner for tougher stains. If you use a carpet
cleaner, carefully follow the manufacturer's
instructions and precautions.

Cleaning the Exterior
CAUTION
It is important that your vehicle be kept
clean and free from dirt. Failure to keep
your vehicle clean may result in fading
of the paint or corrosion to various
parts of the vehicle body.
Washing
Never attempt to wash and wax your
vehicle with the engine running.
When cleaning the underside of the
body and fender, where there may
be sharp-edged parts, you should
wear gloves and a longsleeved shirt
to protect your hands and arms from
being cut.
After washing your vehicle, carefully
test the brakes before driving to
make sure they have maintained
their normal effectiveness.
When washing the vehicle, follow the
instructions below:
1) Flush the underside of body and wheel
housings with pressurized water to remove
mud and debris. Use plenty of water.
CAUTION
When washing the vehicle, avoid
directing steam or hot water of more
than 80°C (176°F) on plastic parts.
2) Remove dirt and mud from the body
exterior with running water. You may use
a soft sponge or brush. Do not use hard
materials which can scratch the paint.
3) Wash the entire exterior with a mild
detergent or car wash soap using a
sponge or soft cloth. The sponge or cloth
should be frequently soaked in the soap
solution.
CAUTION
When using a commercial car wash
product, observe the cautions specified
by the manufacturer. Never use strong
household detergents or soaps.
4) Once the dirt has been completely
removed, rinse off the detergent with
running water.
5) After rinsing, wipe off the vehicle body with
a wet chamois or cloth and allow it to dry
in the shade.
6) Check carefully for damage to painted
surfaces. If there is any damage,
"Touchup" the damage following the
procedure below:
a) Clean all damaged spots and allow
them to dry.
b) Stir the paint and "touchup" the
damaged spots lightly using a small
brush.
c) Allow the paint to dry completely.
Waxing
After washing the vehicle, waxing and
polishing are recommended to further protect
and beautify the paint.
• Only use waxes and polishes of good
quality.
• When using waxes and polishes, observe
the precautions specified by the
manufacturers.
