Parking Sensors (if equipped) The parking sensor system uses ultra-
sonic sensors to detect obstacles near
the rear bumpers. If obstacles are
sensed while you are parking or moving
the vehicle slowly, the system warns you
by sounding a buzzer.
The system emits an ultrasonic wave
and the relevant sensor detects the
return of the wave reflected by an obsta-
cle. The system measures the time
taken by the ultrasonic wave to reach the
obstacle and return from it, from which it
determines the obstacle’s position.
The parking sensor function can be used
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to “ON”, the
gearshift lever is in the “R” position and
the parking sensor switch is in the “ON”
position. This function is helpful in the
following cases: pulling over to the curb;
parallel-parking the vehicle; steering the
vehicle into a garage; driving along an
alley; and moving slowly in a place with
obstacles.
WARNING
If the gear is not engaged properly
and completely before the ignition
switch is turned off, the vehicle
may not be parked with the gear
engaged. Always confirm the gear
position by checking the gear posi-
tion indicator when parking.
Remember, even though the
transaxle is in gear, you must set
the parking brake firmly.
On a downhill slope, the gear
should be put in reverse, and in 1st
gear on an uphill slope. In the case
of uphill/downhill slope, after check
the vehicle stopped by the gear
engaged, put chocks under the
wheels. Otherwise, the vehicle may
move, and cause an unexpected
accident. If the gear is left in the
“N” position, the vehicle cannot be
parked with a gear engaged.
NOTICE
In the above cases, pull over to the
side of the road and stop the engine,
and then ask your MARUTI SUZUKI
dealer to inspect your vehicle. Other-
wise, the clutch disc may be dam-
aged.

The sensors that work depends on the
position of the gearshift lever as follows:
WARNING
The parking sensor warns you of
obstacles with buzzers However,
you must still pay full attention
yourself while driving. The sensors can detect obstacles only within a limited area and only
when the vehicle is moving within a
limited speed range. So, in tricky
areas, you must move the vehicle
slowly while checking around it
using your direct vision or rearview
mirrors. There is increased risk of an
accident if you control the vehicle
relying only on the parking sensor.
NOTICE
Parking sensors are only for driver's
assistance.

NOTE: Thin poles or obstacles lower than the sen-
sors may become undetectable as the
vehicle moves closer to them even if they
have been detected from longer distances.
The system may calculate the distance to
a road sign or similar obstacle to be shorter
than the actual dist
ance.How to Use the Parking SensorParking sensor switch

inside buzzer sounds.
When the gearshift lever is shifted to the
“R” (Reverse) position with the system
ON, a buzzer will sound once.
Obstacle Indication by Parking Sen-
sorUpon detecting an obstacle, the parking
sensor causes an interior buzzer to sound.
A buzzer located behind the rear seat
sounds when a sensor at the rear
detects an obstacle.

Tire ChainsTire chains should only be used if they are
needed to increase traction or are required
by law. Make sure that the chains you use
are the correct size for your vehicle’s tires.
Also make sure that there is enough clear-
ance between the fenders and the chains
as installed on the tires.
Install the chains on the front tires tightly,
according to the chain manufacturer’s
instructions. Retighten the chains after
driving about 1.0 km if necessary. With the
chains installed, drive slowly.
NOTICE
If you hear the chains hittingagainst the vehicle body while driv-
ing, stop and tighten them.
If your vehicle is equipped with full wheel caps, remove the wheel caps
before installing the chains or the
wheel caps can be damaged by the
chain bands.

Clutch Pedal
Cable Control Clutch (For Petrol
Engine Model)
54G274
Clutch pedal play “d”:
10 - 15 mm (0.4 - 0.6 in.)
Measure the clutch pedal play by moving
the clutch pedal with your hand and mea-
suring the distance it moves until you feel
slight resistance. The play in the clutch
pedal should be between the specified val-
ues. If the play is more or less than the
above, or clutch dragging is felt with the
pedal fully depressed, have the clutch
inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI autho-
rized dealer.
Fluid Control Clutch (For Diesel
Engine Model)
68LM703
Check the clutch pedal for smooth opera-
tion and clutch fluid level from time to time.
If clutch dragging is felt with the pedal fully
depressed, have the clutch inspected by
your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. If the clutch
fluid level is near the “MIN” line, fill it up to
the “MAX” line with Maruti Genuine Brake
Fluid (MGBF) or DOT 3.
We highly recommend to use “Maruti Gen-
uine Brake Fluid” (MGBF).
Automatic Transaxle (AT) Fluid
Specified Fluid
Use an automatic transaxle fluid SUZUKI
ATF 3317 or Mobil ATF 3309.
Fluid Level Check
You must check the fluid level with the
automatic transaxle fluid at normal operat-
ing temperature.
To check the fluid level:
1) To warm up the transaxle fluid, drive the
vehicle or idle the engine until the tem-
perature gauge indicates normal oper-
ating temperature.
2) Then drive for ten more minutes.NOTE:
Do not check the fluid level if you have just
driven the vehicle for a long time at high
speed, if you have driven in city traffic in
hot weather, or if the vehicle has been pull-
ing a trailer. Wait until the fluid cools down
(about 30 minutes), or the fluid level indi-
cation will not be correct.
3) Park your vehicle on level ground.
4) Apply the parking brake and then start
the engine in “P” (Park). Let it idle for
two minutes and keep it running during
the fluid level check.
5) With your foot on the brake pedal, move
the gearshift lever through each range,
pausing for about three seconds in
each range. Then move it back to the
“P” (Park) position.
EXAMPLE
NOTICE
Driving with too much or too little
fluid can damage the transaxle.
