60G-09-010E
CAUTION
The air cleaner element should be
replaced every 40,000 km. More
frequent replacement is necessary
when you drive under dusty conditions.
60G-09-011E
You should inspect spark plugs periodically
for carbon deposits. When carbon
accumulates on a spark plug, a strong spark
may not be produced. Remove carbon
deposits with a wire or pin and adjust the spark
plug gap.
60G-09-012E
CAUTION
When disconnecting the spark plug
cables, pull on the boot, not on the
cable itself. Pulling on the cable can
damage it.
When installing the spark plugs,
screw them in with your fingers to
avoid stripping the threads.Tighten
with a torque wrench to 2.0-3.0 kgm
(20.0-30.0 N-m, 15.0-22.0 Ib-ft). Do
not allow contaminants to enter the
engine through the spark plug holes
when the plugs are removed.
Never use spark plugs with the
wrong thread size or length.

CAUTION
When replacing spark plugs, you
should use the brand and type
specified for your vehicle. For the
specified plugs, refer to the
"SPECIFICATIONS" section at the end
of this book.
60G-09-013E
NOTE:
If you experience some firing problem of spark
plugs, such as, hard engine-starting, misfire
etc., the cause may be located not only on
spark plugs but also on deteriorated ignition
wiring (generally, used for more than 80,000
km or five years). If spark plug replacement
does not solve the problem, have the ignition
wiring and other ignition system inspected by
your MARUTI dealer.

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 SAE
J1703 or DOT-3 brake fluid.

can result in personal injury or serious
damage to the brake system.
