NOTE: It is normal for water to drip from the air conditioning system after use.
4) Make sure the hood is fully closed and latched.5) Check the headlights, turn signal lights, brake lights and horn for proper opera- tion.6) Adjust the seat and head restraint (if equipped). 7) Check the brake pedal and the parkingbrake lever. 8) Adjust the mirrors. 9) Make sure that you and all passengershave properly fastened your seat belts. 10)Make sure that all warning lights come on as the key is turned to the “ON” posi-tion. 11)Check all gauges. 12)Make sure that the BRAKE SYSTEMWARNING light turns off when the parking brake is released.
Once a week, or each time you fill your fuel tank, perform the following under-hood checks:
1) Engine oil level 2) Coolant level3) Brake fluid level 4) Windshield washer fluid level 5) Battery solution level6) Hood latch operation Pull the hood release handle inside the vehicle. Make sure that you cannotopen the hood all the way without
releasing the secondary latch. Be sure to close the hood securely after check- ing for proper latch operation. See “Alllatches, hinges & locks” of “CHASSIS AND BODY” in the “Periodic Mainte- nance Schedule” in the “INSPECTIONAND MAINTENANCE” section for lubri- cation schedule.
Once a month, or each time you fill your fuel tank, check the tire pressure using a tire pressure gauge. Also check the tirepressure of the spare tire.
Engine Oil Consumption
It is normal for the engine to consume some engine oil during normal vehicle operation.
The amount of engine oil consumed depends on the viscosity of the oil, thequality of the oil and the conditions the vehicle is driven under. More oil is consumed during high-speeddriving and when there is frequent acceler- ation and deceleration. Under high loads, your engine also will consume more oil.A new engine also consumes more oil, since its pistons, piston rings and cylinder
walls have not yet become conditioned. New engines reach the normal level of oil consumption only after approximately 5000km (3000 miles) driving.
Oil consumption: Max. 1.0 L per 1000 km (1 Qt. per 600 miles)
When judging the amount of oil consump- tion, note that the oil may become diluted and make it difficult to accurately judge thetrue oil level. As an example, if a vehicle is used for repeated short trips, and consumes a nor-mal amount of oil, the dipstick may not show any drop in the oil level at all, even after 1000 km (600 miles) or more of driv-ing. This is because the oil is gradually becoming diluted with fuel or moisture, making it appear that the oil level has notchanged. You should also be aware that the diluting ingredients evaporate out when the vehicleis subsequently driven at high speeds, such as on an expressway, making it appear that oil is excessively consumedafter high-speed driving.
WA R N I N G
Make sure the hood is fully closed and latched before driv ing. If it is not, it can fly up unexpectedly duringdriving, obstructing your view and resulting in an accident.

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.

Adding Coolant(For Petrol Engine Model)
76MH0A107
76MH0A108
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 res- ervoir tank above the “FULL” mark.
(For Diesel Engine Model)
76MH032
If the coolant level is below the “LOW” mark, more coolant should be added. When the engine is cool, remove the degassing tank cap by turning it anticlock-wise slowly to release any pressure. And add coolant until the degassing tank level reaches the “FULL” mark. Never fill thedegassing tank above the “FULL” mark.
WA R N I N G
Engine coolant is harmful or fatal if swallowed or inhaled. Do not drink antifreeze or coolant solution. If swal-lowed, do not induce vomiting. Imme- diately contact a poison control center or a physician. Avoid inhalingmist or hot vapors; if inhaled, remove to fresh air. If coolant gets in eyes, flush eyes with water and seek medi-cal attention. Wash thoroughly after handling. Solution can be poisonous to animals. Keep out of the reach ofchildren and animals.
NOTICE
• The mixture you use should con- tain 30% concentration of anti- freeze.• If the lowest am bient temperature in your area is expected to be – 35°C (–31°F) or below, use higherconcentrations up to 60% following the instructions on the antifreeze container.

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 con- dition. If the headlights go excessivelydim or go off, it usually means that either the battery is flat or the battery terminal contact is poor. Recharge thebattery or correct battery terminal con- tact as necessary. 2) If the headlights remain bright, checkthe fuses. If the reason for failure of the starter is not obvious, there may be a major electrical problem. Have the vehi-cle inspected by your authorized MAR- UTI SUZUKI dealer.
If the Engine is Flooded
If the engine is flooded with petrol, it may be hard to start. If this happens, press theaccelerator pedal all the way to the floor and hold it there while cranking the engine. For petrol engine model, do not operatethe starter motor for more than 12 sec- onds. For diesel engine model, do not operatethe starter motor for more than 30 sec- onds.
If the Engine Overheats
The engine could overheat temporarily under severe driving conditions. If the highengine coolant temperature warning light comes on as 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 the normal idlespeed for a few minutes until the high engine coolant temperature warning light goes off.
If the high engine coolant temperature warning light does not go off: 1) Turn off the engine and check that the water pump belt and pulleys are notdamaged or slipping. If any abnormality is found, correct it.
2) Check the coolant level in the reservoir. If it is found to be lower than the “LOW” line, look for leaks at the radiator, waterpump, and radiator and heater hoses. If you locate any leaks that may have caused the overheating, do not run theengine until these problems have been corrected. 3) If you do not find a leak, carefully addcoolant to the reservoir and then the radiator, if necessary. (Refer to “Engine Coolant” in the “INSPECTION ANDMAINTENANCE” section.)
NOTE: If your engine overheats and you are unsure what to do, contact your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
WA R N I N G
If you see or hear escaping steam,stop the vehicle in a safe place andimmediately turn off the engine to let it cool. Do not open the hood when steam is present. When the steamcan no longer be seen or heard, open the hood to see if the coolant is still boiling. If it is, you must wait until itstops boiling before you proceed.
