Windscreen Wipers
To turn the windscreen wipers on, move the
lever down to one of the three operating
positions. In the "INT position (if equipped),
the wipers operate intermittently. The "INT'
position is very convenient for driving in mist
or light rain. In the "LO" position, the wipers

operating the wipers.
• Clear ice or packed snow from the
wiper blades before using the
wipers.
• Check the washer fluid level
regularly. Check it often when the
weather is bad.
• Only fill the washer fluid reservoir
3/4 full during cold weather to allow
room for expansion if the
temperature falls low enough to
freeze the solution.

WARNING AND INDICATOR LIGHTS
70F-07-070
Brake fluid level warning/Parking Brake
Indicator light
This light operates under three conditions:
1) when the ignition switch is turned to the
"START' position, 2) when the fluid in the brake
fluid reservoir falls below the specified level
or 3) when the parking brake is not fully
released and the ignition switch is in the "ON"
position. The light should go out after starting
the engine and fully releasing the parking
brake, if the fluid in the brake fluid reservoir is
adequate. If the light does not go off or comes
on whilst you are driving, it may mean that
there is something wrong with the vehicle's
braking system. If this happens, you should:
1) Pull off the road and stop carefully.
Remember that stopping distance may
be longer, you may have to push
harder on the pedal, and the pedal
may go down farther than normal.
2) Test the brakes by carefully starting and
stopping at the side of the road.
3) If you determine that it is safe, drive
carefully at low speed to the nearest dealer
for repairs.
Have the vehicle towed to the nearest
dealer for repairs.
or
4)
If any of the following conditions occur,
you should Immediately ask your
MARUTI dealer to inspect the brake
system.
• If the brake fluid level warning light
does not go out after the engine has
been started and the parking brake
has been fully released.
• If the brake fluid level warning light
does not come on when the ignition
switch is turned to the "START"
position.
• If the brake fluid level warning light
comes on at any time during vehicle
operation.
NOTE:
Because the disc brake system is self
adjusting, the fluid level will drop as the brake
pads become worn.
Replenishing the brake fluid reservoir is
considered normal periodic maintenance.
70F-03-039
Oil Pressure Light
This light comes on when the ignition switch
is turned on, and goes out when the engine
is started. The light will come on and remain
on if there is insufficient oil pressure. If the
light comes on when driving, pull off the
road as soon as you can and stop the
engine. Check the oil level and add oil if
necessary (see pages 9-8 and 9-9). If there
is enough oil, the lubrication system should
be inspected by your MARUTI dealer before
you drive the vehicle again.

EXHAUST GAS WARNING
DAILY INSPECTION CHECKLIST
60G-07-001E
Avoid breathing exhaust gases.
Exhaust gases contain carbon
monoxide, a potentially lethal gas that
is colourless and odourless. Since
carbon monoxide is difficult to detect
by itself, be sure to take the following
precautions to help prevent carbon
monoxide from entering your vehicle.
• Do not leave the engine running in
garages or other confined areas.
• Do not park with the engine running
for a long period of time, even in an
open area. If it is necessary to sit for
a short time in a parked vehicle <=>
with the engine running, make sure
the air intake lever is set to "FRESH
AIR" and the fan is at high speed.
To allow proper operation of your
vehicle's ventilation system, keep
the air inlet grille in front of the
windscreen clear of snow, leaves, or
other obstructions at all times.
Keep the exhaust tailpipe area clear
of snow and other material to help
reduce the buildup of exhaust gases
under the vehicle.This is particularly
important when parked in blizzard
conditions.
Have the exhaust system inspected
periodically for damage and leaks.
Any damage or leaks should be
repaired immediately.
7-1
70F-05-007
Before driving:
1) Make sure that windows, mirrors, lights,
and reflectors are clean and unobstructed.
2) Check the tyres.
3) Look for fluid and oil leaks.
NOTE:
It is normal for water to drip from the air
conditioning system after use.
4) Adjust the seat/head restraint.
5) Check the brake pedal and the parking
brake lever.
6) Adjust the mirrors.
7) Make sure that you and passengers have
properly fastened your seat belts.
8) Make sure that all warning lights come on
as the key is turned to the "ON" or "START'
position.
9) Check all gauges.
10) Make sure that the brake fluid level
warning light is off when the parking brake
is released with the ignition switch in "ON"
position.

60G-74E
OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
CATALYTIC CONVERTER
(if equipped)
70F-05-005
The purpose of the catalytic converter installed
on your vehicle is to convert exhaust pollutants
to harmless water vapour, carbon dioxide, and
nitrogen. Use of leaded fuel in vehicles
equipped with catalytic converters is
prohibited, because lead deactivates the
pollutant-reducing components of the catalyst
system.
It is very important to keep the engine properly
tuned. Engine misfiring, which can result from
an improperly tuned engine, may cause
overheating of the catalyst. This may result in
permanent heat damage to the catalyst and
other vehicle components.
CAUTION
To minimize the possibility of catalyst
or other vehicle damage:
• Maintain the engine in the proper
operating condition.
• In the event of an engine
malfunction, particularly one
involving engine misfire or other
apparent loss of performance, have
the vehicle serviced promptly.
• Do not turn off the engine or
interrupt the ignition when the
transmission is in gear and the
vehicle is in motion.
• Do not try to start the engine by
pushing or towing the vehicle, or
coasting down a hill.
• Do not idle the engine with any spark
plug wires disconnected or
removed, such as during diagnostic
testing.
• Do not idle the vehicle for prolonged
periods if idling seems rough or
there are other malfunctions.
• Do not allow the fuel tank to get near
the empty level.
60Q-07-002E
Be careful where you park and drive;
the catalytic converter and other
exhaust components can get very hot.
As with any vehicle, do not park or
operate this vehicle in areas where
combustible materials such as dry
grass or leaves can come in contact
with a hot exhaust system.
7-6
OPERATING YOUR VECHILE
60G-74E
IMPROVING FUEL ECONOMY
The following instructions will help you improve
fuel economy.
Avoid excessive idling:
If you are to wait for more than a minute while
you are parked, stop the engine and start it
again later. When warming up a cold engine,
allow the engine to idle until the temperature
gauge pointer comes up to the "C" position. In
this position, the engine is sufficiently warm
for starting off.
Avoid "fast" starts:
Fast starts away from lights or stop signs will
consume fuel unnecessarily and shorten
engine life. Start off slowly.
Avoid unnecessary stops:
Avoid unnecessary deceleration and stopping.
Try to maintain a slow, steady speed whenever
possible. Slowing down and then accelerating
again uses more fuel.
Keep a steady cruising speed:
Keep as constant a speed as road and traffic
conditions will permit.
Air Outlet side
(Facing up)
60G-09-010
Keep the air cleaner clean:
A dirty air cleaner will cause the carburation
system to supply too much fuel to the engine
for the amount of air being supplied. The result
is waste of fuel due to incomplete combustion.
Keep weight to a minimum:
The heavier the load, the more fuel the vehicle
consumes. Take out any luggage or cargo
when it is not necessary.
Keep tyre pressures correct:
Under-inflation of the tyres can waste fuel due
to increased running resistance of the tyres.
Keep your tyres inflated to the correct pressure
shown on the label on the driver's side door
or door lock pillar.
TRAILER TOWING
Your MARUTI was originally designed to carry
people and a normal amount of cargo, not to
tow a trailer. Maruti does not recommend you
use your vehicle to tow a trailer.Towing a trailer
can adversely affect handling, durability, and
fuel economy.
