w ww w
w WARNING
Make sure the bonnet is fully closed
and latched before driving. If it is not,
it can fly up unexpectedly during
driving, obstructing your view and
resulting in an accident.
Once a month, or each time you fill your
fuel tank, check the tyre pressure using a
tyre pressure gauge. Also check the tyre
pressure of the spare tyre.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 5000
km (3000 miles) driving.
When judging the amount of oil consump-
tion, note that the oil may become diluted
and make it difficult to accurately judge the
true 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 not
changed.
You should also be aware that the diluting
ingredients evaporate out when the vehicle
is subsequently driven at high speeds, such
as on an expressway, making it appear that
oil is excessively consumed after high-speed
driving.

Engine Oil ConsumptionIt 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, the
quality of the oil and the conditions the
vehicle is driven under.
More oil is consumed during high-speed
driving 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,

CAUTION
To avoid damaging your cooling system:
Always use a high quality ethylene
glycol base non-silicate based
coolant diluted with distilled water
at the correct mixture concentration.
Make sure that the proper mix is 50/
50 coolant to distilled water (Diesel)
and 30/70 (For petrol). Concen-
trations other 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 compatible
with your cooling system.
Do not mix different types of base
coolants. Doing so may result in
accelerated seal wear and/or the
possibility of severe overheating and
extensive engine damage.Coolant Level CheckCheck the coolant level at the reservoir
tank, not at the radiator. With the engine
cool, the coolant level should be between
the “FULL” and “LOW” marks.
Selection of CoolantTo maintain optimum performance and
durability of your engine, use MARUTI
Genuine 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 freezing
and boiling.
Gives proper protection against corrosion
and rust.
Failure to use the proper coolant can dam-
age your cooling system. Your MARUTI
SUZUKI authorized dealer can help you
select the proper coolant.
w ww w
w WARNING
It is hazardous to remove the reservoir
tank cap (degassing tank cap) for Diesel
engine when the water temperature is
high, because scalding fluid and steam
may be blown out under pressure. Wait
until the coolant temperature has
lowered before removing the cap.
Adding Coolant(For Petrol Engine Model)
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 reservoir
tank above the “FULL” mark.
(For Diesel Engine Model)
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 anticlockwise slowly
to release any pressure. And add coolant
until the degassing tank level reaches the
“FULL” mark. Never fill the degassing tank
above the “FULL” mark.
The mixture you use should contain
50% concentration of antifreeze.
If the lowest ambient temperature in
your area is expected to be – 35°C
(–31°F) or below, use higher
concentrations up to 60% following

container.
When putting the cap on the reser-
voir tank, line up the arrow on the
cap and the arrow on the tank. Fail-
ure to follow this can result in cool-
ant leakage.
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 inhaling mist or
