Do not use any fluid other than SAE
J1703 or DOT-3 brake fluid. Do not
use reclaimed fluid or fluid that has
been stored in old or open
containers. It is essential that foreign
particles and other liquids are kept
out of the brake fluid reservoir.
CAUTION
The brake fluid should be replaced
every two years or 20,000 km.
panel will come on (the engine must
be running with the parking brake
fully disengaged). Should the light
come on, immediately ask your
MARUTI dealer to inspect the brake
system.
A rapid fluid loss Indicates a leak in
the brake system which should be
inspected by your MARUTI dealer
immediately.
Brake fluid can harm your eyes and
damage painted surfaces. Use
caution when refilling the reservoir.
NOTE:
With disc brakes, the fluid level can be
expected to gradually fall as the brake pads
wear.

Brake Pedal
Check if the brake pedal stops at the regular
height without "spongy" feeling when you
depress it. If not, have the brake system
inspected by your MARUTI dealer. If you doubt
the brake pedal for the regular height, check
it as follows:
With the engine running, measure the distance
between the brake pedal and floor wall when
the pedal is depressed with approximately 30
kg (66 lbs) of force. The minimum distance
required is 80 mm (3.1 in). Since your vehicle's
brake system is self-adjusting, there is no need
for pedal adjustment. If the pedal to floor wall
distance as measured above is less than the
minimum distance required, have your vehicle
inspected by your MARUTI dealer.

NOTE:
When measuring the distance between the
brake pedal and floor wall, be sure not to
include any floor covering in the measurement.
If you experience any of the following
problems with your vehicle's brake
system, have the vehicle inspected
immediately by your MARUTI dealer.
Poor braking performance
Uneven braking (Brakes not working
uniformly on all wheels.)
Excessive pedal travel
Brake dragging
Excessive noise
Pedal pulsation (Pedal pulsates
when depressed.)

Parking brake
Check the parking brake for proper adjustment
by counting the number of clicks made by the
ratchet teeth as you slowly pull up on the
parking brake lever to the point of full
engagement. The parking brake lever should
stop between the 3rd and 5th ratchet tooth
and the rear wheels should be securely locked.
If the parking brake is not properly adjusted
or the brakes drag after the lever has been
fully released, have the parking brake
inspected and/or adjusted by your MARUTI
dealer.
60G-09-016
Check the play of the steering wheel by gently
turning it from left to right and measuring the
distance that it moves before you feel slight
resistance. The play should be between 0 -
30
mm
(0.0 -1.2 in).
Check that the steering wheel turns easily and
smoothly without rattling by turning it all the
way to the right and to the left while driving
very slowly in an open area. If the amount of
free play is outside the specification or you
find anything else to be wrong, an inspection
must be performed by your MARUTI dealer.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Hitting curbs and running over rocks
can damage tyres and affect wheel
alignment. Be sure to have tyres and
wheel alignment checked periodically
by your MARUTI dealer.
4) Check for loose wheel nuts.
5) Check that there are no nails, stones, or
other objects sticking into the tyres.
Your MARUTI is equipped with tyres
which are all the same type and size.
This is important to ensure proper
steering and handling of the vehicle.
Never mix tyres of different size or type
on the four wheels of your vehicle. The
size and type of tyres used should be
only those approved by MARUTI as
standard or optional equipment for
your vehicle.
Replacing the wheels and tyres
equipped on your vehicle with certain
combinations of aftermarket wheels
and tyres can significantly change the
steering and handling characteristics
of your vehicle. Therefore, use only
those wheel and tyre combinations
approved by MARUTI as standard or
optional equipment for your vehicle.
CAUTION
Replacing the original tyres with tyres
of a different size may result in false
speedometer or odometer readings.
60G-09-019E
Tyre Rotation
To avoid uneven wear of your tyres and to
prolong their life, rotate the tyres as illustrated.
Tyres should be rotated every 5,000 km as
recommended in the periodic maintenance
schedule. After rotation, adjust front and rear
tyre pressures to the specification listed on
your vehicle's Tyre Inflation Pressure Label.

EMERGENCY SERVICE
60G-74E
CAUTION
Vehicle equipped with electronic fuel
injection 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.
60G-10-004E
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 jump lead
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.
10-3
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 SERVICE
TOWING
If you need to have your vehicle towed, contact
a professional service.
CAUTION
To help avoid damage to your vehicle
during towing, proper equipment and
towing procedures must be used.
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.
EMERGENCY REMEDIES
If 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
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 gauge indicates overheating
during driving:
1) Turn off the air conditioner, if equipped.
2) Take the vehicle to a safe place and park.
3) Let the engine run at normal idle speed
for a few minutes until the indicator is within
the normal, acceptable temperature range
between "H" and "C".
If you see or hear escaping steam, stop
the vehicle in a safe place and
Immediately turn off the engine to let it
cool. Do not open the bonnet when
steam is present. When the steam can
no longer be seen or heard, open the
hood to see if the coolant is still boiling.
If it is, you must wait until it stops
boiling before you proceed.
