Service on or around air bag components
or wiring must be performed only by an
authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
Improper service could result in unintended
air bag deployment or could render the air
bag inoperative. Either of these two
conditions may result in severe injury.
To prevent damage or unintended inflation
of the air bag system, be sure the battery
is disconnected and the ignition switch has
been in the “LOCK” position for at least 90
seconds before performing any electrical
service work on your MARUTI SUZUKI. Do
not touch air bag system components or
wires. The wires are wrapped with yellow
tape or yellow tubing, and the couplers are
yellow for easy identification.
Scrapping a car that has an uninflated air
bag can be hazardous. Contact your
MARUTI SUZUKI authorized dealer, body
repair shop or scrap yard for help with dis-
posal.
According to accident statistics, children are
safer when properly restrained on rear seats
than front passenger’s seat. Whenever
possible, MARUTI SUZUKI recommends
that child restraint systems be installed on
the rear seat.

is a damage in the emission control system.
Bring the vehicle to your MARUTI SUZUKI
dealer to have the damage fixed.
Also, if the light comes on, there may be
something wrong with the transaxle system.

To minimize the possibility of catalyst
or other vehicle damage:
Maintain the engine in the proper
operating condition.
In the event of an engine malfunc-
tion, particularly one involving
engine misfire or other apparent
loss of performance, have the vehi-
cle serviced promptly.
Do not turn off the engine or inter-
rupt the ignition when the transmis-
sion 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 pro-
longed periods if idling seems rough
or there are other malfunctions.
Do not allow the fuel tank to get
near the empty level.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.

engine, do not allow the engine to idle or
apply full throttle until the engine has
reached operating temperature. Allow the
engine to warm up by driving.
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 stop-
ping. 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 traf-
fic conditions will permit.
DRIVING TIPS

CAUTION
Improving Fuel EconomyThe 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 coldKeep the air cleaner clean
(Petrol engine)
EXAMPLE
83K-04-004
A dirty air cleaner will cause the fuel sys-
tem 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.
