ESP SUZUKI MARUTI 2005 1.G User Guide

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 6783K Wear Your Seat Belts at All Times,
even if air bags are equipped at the
front seating positions. The driver
and all passengers should be prop-
erly restrained at all times, using
the seat belts provided. Refer to the
“Seat Belts and Child Restraint
Systems” section for instructions on
proper use of the seat belts.
Never drive while under the influ-
ence of alcohol or other drugs.
Alcohol and drugs can seriously
impair your ability to drive safely,
greatly increasing the risk of injury
to yourself and others. You should
also avoid driving when you are
tired, sick, irritated, or under stress.The future performance and reliability
of the engine depends on the care
and restraint exercised during its early
life. It is especially important to
observe the following precautions
during the initial 960 km (600 miles)
of vehicle operation.
After starting, do not race the
engine. Warm it up gradually.
Avoid prolonged vehicle operation at
a constant speed. Moving parts will
break in better if you vary your
speed.
Start off from a stop slowly. Avoid
full throttle starts.
Avoid hard braking, especially dur-
ing the first 320 km (200 miles) of
driving.
Do not drive slowly with the trans-
mission in a high gear.
Drive the vehicle at moderate engine
speeds.

CAUTION
Catalytic ConverterThe purpose of the catalytic converter is to
minimize the amount of harmful pollutants
in your vehicle’s exhaust. Use of leaded fuel
in vehicles equipped with catalytic
converters is prohibited, because lead
deactivates the pollutant-reducing compo-
nents of the catalyst system.
The converter is designed to last the life of
the vehicle under normal usage and when
unleaded fuel is used. No special mainte-
nance is required on the converter. How-
ever, it is very important to keep the engine
properly tuned. Engine misfiring, which can
result from an improperly tuned engine
loose writing etc., may cause overheating
of the catalyst. This may result in perma-
nent heat damage to the catalyst and other
vehicle components.

(Diesel engine)
No cleaning is required. Replace as per
periodic maintenance schedule.
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
Underinflation of the tyres can waste fuel
due to increased running resistance of the
tyres. Keep your tyres inflated to the cor-
rect pressure shown on the label on the
driver’s side door pillar.Highway DrivingWhen driving at high speeds, pay attention
to the following:
Stopping distance progressively increa-
ses with vehicle speed. Apply the brakes
far enough ahead of the stopping point
to allow for the extra stopping distance.
On rainy days, “Aquaplaning” can occur.
“Aquaplaning” is the loss of direct con-
tact between the road surface and the
vehicle’s tyres due to a water film form-
ing between them. Steering or braking
the vehicle while “Aquaplaning” can be
very difficult, and loss of control can
occur. Keep speed down when the road
surface is wet.
At high speeds, the vehicle may be
affected by side winds. Therefore, reducespeed and be prepared for unexpected
buffeting, which can occur at the exits
of tunnels, when passing by a cut of a
hill, or when being overtaken by large
vehicles, etc.
Driving on Hills
w ww w
w WARNING
Try not to hold the brake pedal down
too long or too often while going
down a steep or long hill. This could
cause the brakes to overheat, result-
ing in reduced braking efficiency.
Failure to take this precaution could
result in loss of vehicle control.
CAUTION
When descending a down hill, NEVER
turn the ignition key to the “OFF”
position. Emission control system
damage may result.Driving on Slippery Roads
83K-04-006
83K-04-005
When climbing steep hills, the car may
begin to slow down and show a lack of
power. If this happens, you should shift
to a lower gear so that the engine will
again be operating in its normal power
range. Change rapidly to prevent the car
from losing momentum.
When driving down a hill, the engine
should be used for braking by moving
to next lower gear.

4. Before entering a corner, decelerate to
a safe speed. Don’t apply brakes during
cornering, or a cornering skid may occur.
5. When overtaking other vehicles, watch
out for the oncoming vehicle and
carefully confirm the safety.
6. Don’t attempt zigzag driving which will
hinder your control over the vehicle and
cause an accident.
Braking
1. Use the parking brake when parking(1) Warn the vehicle behind you
(2) Gradually apply the brake.
(3) Bring the vehicle to a halt.
3. When driving on a downhill, try not to
apply the brake but use the engine brake
effectively. Overuse of the footbrake may
result in total brake failure.
4. Avoid reckless high speed driving and try
to drive at a safe speed suitable for theroad conditions while maintaining a
constant speed.

your vehicle and shift the gear shift lever
into the first gear or reverse gear
position for the sake of safety.
2. Don’t use handbraking unless un-
avoidable. It causes the vehicle to skid
and a rearend collision occur. It is
especially dangerous when the tyres are
worn, for they allow a larger skid.
Use foot brake in three stages
5. The higher the speed, the narrower the
driver’s visual range becomes. In such
a state, it is difficult to anticipate any
hazard and the driver feels much
fatigued.
6. Never do sharp handling during high
speed driving. You will lose your control
over your vehicle.
7. When overtaking or changing the lane
while driving at a high speed, keep an
ample vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
Long distance driving
1. Be sure to perform safety checks before
starting a trip.
2. Take rest at certain intervals to prevent
an accident which may occur when you
are sleepy or tired.

VEHICLE LOADING AND TOWING
Vehicle LoadingYour vehicle was designed for specific weight
capacities. The weight capacities of your
vehicle are indicated by the Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating (GVWR) and the Gross Axle
Weight Rating (GAWR, front and rear). The
GVWR and GAWR (front and rear) are listed
in the “SPECIFICATIONS” section.
GVWR – Maximum permissible overall weight
of the fully loaded vehicle (including all the
occupants, accessories and cargo plus the
trailer nose weight if towing a trailer).
GAWR – (Front and Rear) Maximum per-
missible 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 vehicle. Compare
these weights to the GVWR and GAWR (front
and rear). If the gross vehicle weight or the
load on either axle exceeds these ratings, you
must remove enough weight to bring the load
down to the rated capacity.
w ww w
w WARNING
Always distribute cargo evenly. To
avoid personal injury or damage to your
vehicle, always secure cargo to prevent
it from shifting if the vehicle moves
suddenly. Place heavier objects on the
floor and as far forward in the cargo
area as possible. Never pile cargo
higher than the top of the seat backs.
w ww w
w WARNING
Never overload your vehicle. The gross
vehicle weight (sum of the weights of
the vehicle, all the occupants,
accessories, cargo plus trailer nose
V VV V

w WARNING
V VV V
Vweight if towing a trailer) must never
exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight
Rating (GVWR). In addition, never
distribute a load so that the weight on
either the front or rear axle exceeds
the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR).Trailer TowingYour MARUTI SUZUKI was originally
designed to carry people and a normal
amount of cargo, not to tow a trailer. MARUTI
SUZUKI does not recommend you use your
vehicle to tow a trailer if there is not any local
regulation about towing capacity permitted (for
example, registered or statutory towing
capacity). Towing a trailer can adversely affect
handling, durability, and fuel economy.When you tow your vehicle, follow the
instructions below to avoid accidents
and damage to your vehicle. In addition,
be sure to observe government and
local requirements regarding vehicle
lighting and trailer hitches or tow bars.
w ww w
w WARNING
Towing Your VehicleYour vehicle may be towed behind another
Vehicle (such as a motorhome), provided
you use the proper towing method specified
for your vehicle. The towing method you
must use depends on the specifications of
your vehicle: whether it is a manual
transmission vehicle or an automatic
transmission vehicle.
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 towing
equipment designed for recreational towing
and make sure that towing speed does not
exceed 90 km/h.
