Vehicle Loading
Your vehicle was designed for specific weight capacities. The weight capacities ofyour vehicle are indicated by the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and the Permissible maximum Axle Weight (PAW,front and rear). The GVWR and PAW (front and rear) are listed in the “SPECIFICA- TIONS” section.
GVWR – Maximum permissible overall weight of the fully loaded vehicle (includingall the occupants, accessories and cargo plus the trailer nose weight if towing a trailer).PAW – (Front and Rear) Maximum permis- sible weight on an individual axle.
Actual weight of the loaded vehicle and actual loads at the front and rear axles can only be determined by weighing the vehi-cle. Compare these weights to the GVWR and PAW (front and rear). If the gross vehi- cle weight or the load on either axleexceeds these ratings, you must remove enough weight to bring the load down to the rated capacity.
Trailer Towing
Your MARUTI SUZUKI was originallydesigned to carry people and a normal amount of cargo, not to tow a trailer.MAR- UTI SUZUKI does not recommend you useyour vehicle to tow a trailer. Towing a trailer can adversely affect handling, durability, and fuel economy.
Towing Your Vehicle
Your vehicle may be towed behind anothervehicle (such as a motorhome), providedyour vehicle is 2 wheel drive (2WD) and you use the proper towing method speci- fied for your vehicle. The towing methodyou must use depends on the specifica- tions of your vehicle: whether it is a manual transaxle vehicle or an Auto Gear Shiftvehicle.
Use the towing instruction table to select the proper towing method for your vehicle, and carefully follow the corresponding instructions. Be sure to use proper towingequipment designed for recreational tow- ing and make sure that towing speed does not exceed 90 km/h (55 mph).
WA R N I N G
Never overload your vehicle. Thegross vehicle weight (sum of theweights of the vehicle, all the occu- pants, accessories, cargo plus trailer nose weight if towing a trailer) mustnever exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). In addition, never distribute a load so that theweight on either th e front or rear axle exceeds the Permissible maximum Axle Weight (PAW).
WA R N I N G
Always distribute cargo evenly. Toavoid personal injury or damage to your vehicle, always secure cargo to prevent it from shifting if the vehiclemoves suddenly. Place heavier objects on the floor and as far for- ward in the cargo area as possible.Never pile cargo higher than the top of the seat backs.
WA R N I N G
When you tow your vehicle, follow the instructions below to avoid acci-dents and damage to your vehicle. In addition, be sure to observe govern- ment and local requirements regard-ing vehicle lighting and trailer hitches or tow bars.

5) Tighten the filter specified turn from the point of contact with the mounting sur- face (or to the spec ified torque) using an oil filter wrench.
Tightening torque for oil filter Petrol engine: 1 turn or 14 Nm (1.4 kg-m, 10.3 lb-ft)Diesel engine: 3/4 turn or 14 Nm (1.4 kg-m, 10.3 lb-ft)
Refill with Oil and Check for Leaks1) Pour oil through the filler hole andinstall the filler cap. For the approximate capacity of the oil, refer to the “CAPACITIES” item in the “SPECIFICATIONS” section.2) Start the engine and look carefully for leaks at the oil filter and drain plug. Run the engine at various speeds for at least5 minutes.
3) Stop the engine and wait about 5 min- utes. Check the oil level again and add oil if necessary. Check for leaks again.
Engine Coolant
Selection of CoolantTo maintain optimum performance anddurability of your engine, use MARUTIGenuine Coolant or equivalent. This type of coolant is best for your cooling system as it: Helps maintain proper engine tempera- ture. Gives proper protection against freezingand boiling. Gives proper protection against corro- sion and rust.Failure to use the proper coolant can dam- age your cooling system. Your authorized
MARUTI SUZUKI dealer can help you select the proper coolant.
Coolant Level CheckCheck the coolant level at the reservoirtank, not at the radiator. With the engine cool, the coolant level should be betweenthe “FULL” and “LOW” marks.
NOTICE
To tighten the oil filter properly, it isImportant to accurately identify theposition at which the filter gasket first contacts the mounting surface.
NOTICE
To prevent oil leakage, make sure that the oil filter is tight, but do notover-tighten it.
NOTICE
• When replacing the oil filter, it is rec-ommended that you use a Marutigenuine replacement filter. If you use an after market filter, make sure it is of equivalent quality and followthe manufacturer’s instructions. • Oil leaks from around the oil filter or drain plug indicate incorrectinstallation or gasket damage. If you find any leaks or are not sure that the filter has been properlytightened, have the vehicle inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging your cooling sys- tem: • Always use a high quality ethyleneglycol base non-silicate type cool- ant diluted with distilled water at the correct mixture concentration.• Make sure that the proper mix is 50/ 50 coolant to distilled water (Die- sel) and 30/70 (Petrol). Concentra-tions greater than this may cause overheating conditions. • Neither use 100% coolant nor 100%Plain water. • Do not add extra inhibitors or addi- tives. They may not be compatiblewith your cooling system. • Do not mix different types of base coolants. Doing so may result inaccelerated seal wear and/or the possibility of severe overheating and extensive engine damage.
