If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there
will be greater intake resistance, resulting
in decreased power output and increased
fuel consumption.
Unclamp/unscrew the side clamps/screws,
and remove the element from the air
cleaner case. If it appears to be dirty,
replace it with a new one.Spark Plugs (Petrol Engine)

voir tank, line up the mark on the cap
and the mark on the tank. Failure to
follow this can result in coolant leak-
age.
WA R N I N G
It is hazardous to remove the reser-
voir tank cap (degassing tank cap) for
a diesel engine when the water tem-
perature is high, because scalding
fluid and steam may be blown out
under pressure. Wait until the coolant
temperature has lowered before
removing the cap.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
74LH0-74E
Temporary Spare Tire (if equipped)Your vehicle comes equipped with the tem-
porary spare tire. It is only intended for
temporary emergency use, until the con-
ventional tire can be repaired or replaced.
The inflation pressure of the temporary
spare tire should be checked at least
monthly. At the same time, check that the
tire is stored securely. If it is not, tighten it.
Note that two or more temporary spare
tires should not be used on one vehicle
simultaneously.

WA R N I N G
The temporary spare tire and wheel
are intended for temporary emergency
use only. Continuous use of this spare
can result in tire failure and loss of
control. Always observe these precau-
tions when using this spare: Your vehicle will handle differently
with this temporary spare.
Do not exceed 80 km/h speed (only
vehicle with 185/65R15 tire).
Replace this spare with a standard
tire and wheel as soon as possible.
Use of this spare will reduce
ground clearance.
Set the specified tire pressure indi-
cated on the tire information label
located on the driver’s door lock
pillar.
Do not use tire chains on the tem-
porary spare. If you must use tire
chains, rearrange the wheels so
standard tires and wheels are fitted
to the front axle.
The temporary spare tire has a
much shorter tread life than the
conventional tires on your vehicle.
Replace the tire as soon as the
tread wear indicator appears.
When replacing the temporary
spare tire, use a replacement tire
with the exact same size and con-
struction.
WA R N I N G
Batteries produce flammable
hydrogen gas. Keep flames and
sparks away from the battery or an
explosion may occur. Never smoke
when working in the vicinity of the
battery.
When checking or servicing the
battery, disconnect the negative
cable. Be careful not to cause a
short circuit by allowing metal
objects to contact the battery posts
and the vehicle at the same time.

Jump Starting Instructions
When Jump Starting Your Vehicle,
Use the Following Procedure:1) Use only a 12-volt battery to jump start
your vehicle. Position the good 12-volt
battery close to your vehicle so that the
jump leads will reach both batteries.
When using a battery installed on
another vehicle, DO NOT LET THE
VEHICLES TOUCH. Set the parking
brakes fully on both vehicles.
2) Turn off all vehicle accessories, except
those necessary for safety reasons (for
example, headlights or hazard lights).
EXAMPLEEXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
Never attempt to jump start your
vehicle if the battery appears to be
frozen. Batteries in this condition
may explode or rupture if jump
starting is attempted.
When making jump lead connec-
tions, be certain that your hands
and the jump leads remain clear
from pulleys, belts, or fans.
Batteries produce flammable
hydrogen gas. Keep flames and
sparks away from the battery or an
explosion may occur. Never smoke
when working in the vicinity of the
battery.
If the booster battery you use for
jump starting is installed in another
vehicle, make sure the two vehicles
are not touching each other.
If your battery discharges repeat-
edly, for no apparent reason, have
your vehicle inspected by an
authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
To avoid harm to yourself or dam-
age to your vehicle or battery, fol-
low the jump starting instructions
below precisely and in order.
If you are in doubt, contact your
nearest MARUTI SUZUKI autho-
rized workshop.
NOTICE
Your vehicle should not be started by
pushing or towing. This starting
method could result in permanent
damage to the catalytic converter and
high pressure fuel pump (diesel) Use
jump leads to start a vehicle with a
weak or flat battery.

3) Make jump lead connections as follows:
1. Connect one end of the first jump
lead to the positive (+) terminal of
the flat battery (1).
2. Connect the other end to the positive
(+) terminal of the booster battery
(2).
3. Connect one end of the second jump
lead to the negative (–) terminal of
the booster battery (3).
4. Make the final connection to an
unpainted, heavy metal part (i.e.
engine mounting stud/nut (4)) of the
engine of the vehicle with the flat
battery (1).4) If the booster battery you are using is
fitted to another vehicle, start the
engine of the vehicle with the booster
battery. Run the engine at moderate
speed.
5) Start the engine of the vehicle with the
flat battery.
6) Remove the jump leads in the exact
reverse order in which you connected
them.
If the Starter Does Not
Operate1) Try turning the ignition switch to the
“START” position or try pressing the
engine switch to change the ignition
mode to “START” with the headlights
turned on to determine the battery con-
dition. If the headlights go excessively
dim or go off, it usually means that
either the battery is flat or the battery
terminal contact is poor. Recharge the
battery or correct battery terminal con-
tact as necessary.
2) If the headlights remain bright, check
the 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(Vehicle without Keyless Push Start
System)
If the engine is flooded with Petrol, it may
be hard to start. If this happens, press the
accelerator pedal all the way to the floor
and hold it there while cranking the engine.
For Petrol engine model, do not operate
the starter motor for more than 12 sec-
onds.
For diesel engine model, do not operate
the starter motor for more than 30 sec-
onds.
EXAMPLE
WA R N I N G
Never connect the jump lead directly
to the negative (–) terminal of the dis-
charged battery, or an explosion may
occur.

(Vehicle with Keyless Push Start Sys-
tem)
If the engine is flooded with Petrol, it may
be hard to start. If this happens, press the
accelerator pedal all the way to the floor
and hold it there while cranking the engine.
For Petrol engine model, do not operate
the starter motor for more than 12 sec-
onds.
For diesel engine model, do not operate
the starter motor for more than 30 sec-
onds.
NOTE:
If the engine refuses to start, the starter
motor automatically stops after a certain
period of time. After the starter motor has
automatically stopped or there is anything
abnormal in the engine starting system,
the starter motor runs only while the
engine switch is held pressed.
If the Engine OverheatsThe engine could overheat temporarily
under severe driving conditions. If the
engine coolant temperature gauge indi-
cates 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 idle
speed for a few minutes until the indica-
tor is within the normal, acceptable
temperature range between “H” and
“C”.
If the temperature indication does not
come down to within the normal, accept-
able range:
1) Turn off the engine and check that the
water pump belt and pulleys are not
damaged 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, water
pump, and radiator and heater hoses. If
you locate any leaks that may have
caused the overheating, do not run the
engine until these problems have been
corrected.
3) If you do not find a leak, carefully add
coolant to the reservoir and then the
radiator, if necessary. (Refer to “Engine
Coolant” in the “INSPECTION AND
MAINTENANCE” section.)
NOTE:
If your engine overheats and you are
unsure what to do, contact your MARUTI
SUZUKI dealer.

If you see or hear escaping steam,
stop the vehicle in a safe place and
immediately turn off the engine to let
it cool. Do not open the hood when
steam is present. When the steam
can no longer be seen or heard, open
the hood to see if the coolant is still
boiling. If it is, you must wait until it
stops boiling before you proceed.
