Your vehicle has a computer-controlled
emission control system. A malfunction
indicator light is provided on the instrument
panel to indicate when it is necessary to
have the emission control system serviced.
The malfunction indicator light comes on

pressed to change the ignition mode to
“ON” to let you know the light is working
and goes out when the engine is started. If the malfunction indicator light comes on
or blinks when the engine is running, there
is a damage in the emission control sys-
tem.
Take the vehicle to your MARUTI SUZUKI
dealer to have the damage fixed.

or come on briefly when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position
or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode to “ON”,
stays on for more than 10 seconds,
or comes on while driving, the air bag
system or the seat belt pretensioner
system (if equipped) may not work
properly. Have both systems
inspected by an authorized MARUTI
SUZUKI dealer.
NOTICE
Continuing to drive the vehicle when
the malfunction indicator light is on
or blinking can cause permanent
damage to the vehicle’s emission
control system, and can affect fuel
economy and driveability.

once to remind you to fill the fuel.
If you do not fill the fuel, a ding sounds every
time when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position or the engine switch is pressed
to change the ignition mode to “ON”.
NOTE:
The activation point of this light varies
depending on road conditions (for exam-
ple, slope or curve) and driving conditions
because of fuel moving in the tank.
Electric Power Steering Light
79J039
This light comes on when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position or the
engine switch is pressed to change the
ignition mode to “ON”, and goes out when
the engine is started.If this light comes on while driving, the
power steering system may not work prop-
erly. Have the system inspected by your
MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
NOTE:
Following operations of the steering wheel
while parking or driving at a very low-
speed may have steering effort bigger
gradually. This is not a malfunction of the
steering system, but the power steering
control system limits the power assist in
order to prevent them from overheating.
• The steering wheel is operated very
often.
• The steering wheel is kept in a fully
turned position for a long while.
When the power steering control system
cool down, the power steering system
back to the original condition.
However, repeating these operations could
cause the power steering system damaged.
NOTE:
If the power steering system does not work
properly, you will feel heavier to steer but
you still will be able to steer.
NOTE:
If the steering is operated, you may hear a
rubbing noise. This is normal and indicates
that the power steering system works
properly.

cle.
Temperature Gauge
74LHT0221
When the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position or the ignition mode is "ON", this
gauge indicates the engine coolant tem-perature. Under normal driving conditions,
the indicator should stay within the normal,
acceptable temperature range between “H”
and “C”. If the indicator approaches “H”,
overheating is indicated. Follow the
instructions for engine overheating in the
“EMERGENCY SERVICE” section.

value of instantaneous fuel consumption
from previous driving when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position or the
engine switch is pressed to change the
ignition mode is “ON”.
The display shows the value only when the
vehicle is moving.
NOTE:
• The display does not show the value
unless the vehicle is moving.
• Depending on the vehicle’s specification,
the initial setting for the fuel consumption
unit is indicated as L/100km, km/L or
MPG.
• For “L/100km” or “km/L” setting, the indi-
cated maximum value of instantaneous
fuel consumption is 30. No more than 30
will be indicated on the display even if
the actual instantaneous fuel consump-
tion is higher.
• For “MPG” setting, the indicated maxi-
mum value of instantaneous fuel con-
sumption is 99.9. No more than 99.9 will
be indicated on the display even if the
actual instantaneous fuel consumption is
higher.
• The indication on the display may be
delayed if fuel consumption is greatly
affected by driving conditions.
• The display shows estimated values.
Indications may not be the same as
actual values.
• For “L/100km” or “km/L” setting, you can
change the units that instantaneous fuel
consumption is displayed in. Refer to“Average fuel consumption” in this sec-
tion.
NOTE:
When you reconnect the negative (–) ter-
minal to the battery, the indication of the
instantaneous fuel consumption will be
reinitialized. Change the indication again
to your preference.
Average fuel consumption
If you selected average fuel consumption
the last time you drove the vehicle, the dis-
play shows the last value of average fuel
consumption from previous driving when
the ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position or the engine switch is pressed to
change the ignition mode is “ON”. Unless
you reset the value of average fuel con-
sumption, the display indicates the value of
average fuel consumption which includes
average fuel consumption during previous
driving.
To reset the average fuel consumption to
zero, push and hold the indicator selector
knob (2) for a while when the display
shows the average fuel consumption.NOTE:
When you reset the indication or reconnect
the negative (–) terminal to the battery, the
value of average fuel consumption will be
shown after driving for a while.
For “L/100 KM” or “KM/L” setting
To change the unit of average fuel con-
sumption, while pushing and holding the
trip meter selector knob (1), turn the indi-
cator selector knob (2).
68LM262
NOTE:
Depending on the vehicle’s specification,
the fuel consumption units of initial setting
are indicated as km/L or L/100km.
NOTE:
• When you change the units that average
fuel consumption is displayed in, the
instantaneous fuel consumption units will
be changed automatically.
WA R N I N G
If you attempt to adjust the display
while driving, you could lose control
of the vehicle.
Do not attempt to adjust the display
while driving.

• When you reconnect the negative (–)
terminal to the battery, the unit of the
average fuel consumption will be reini-
tialized. Change the unit again to your
preference.
Driving range
If you selected driving range the last time
you drove the vehicle, the display indicates
“---” for a few seconds and then indicates
the current driving range when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position or the
engine switch is pressed to change the
ignition mode is “ON”.
The driving range shown in the display is
the approximate distance you can drive
until the fuel gauge indicates “E”, based on
current driving conditions.
When the low fuel warning light comes on,
the display “---” will appear.
If the low fuel warning light comes on, fill
the fuel tank immediately regardless of the
value of driving range shown in the display.
As the driving range after refueling is cal-
culated based on the most recent driving
condition, the value is different each time
you refuel.
NOTE:
• If you refuel when the ignition switch is in
the “ON” position or the ignition mode is
"ON", the driving range may not indicate
the correct value.
• When you reconnect the negative (–)
terminal to the battery, the value of driv-ing range will be shown after driving for a
while.
Odometer
When the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position or the ignition mode is "ON", the
display (C) shows the odometer.
The odometer records the total distance
the vehicle has been driven.
Clock
When the ignition switch is in the “ON”
position or the ignition mode is "ON", the
display (D) shows the time.
To change the time indication:
1) Push the trip meter selector knob (1)
and the indicator selector knob (2)
together.
2) To change the hour indication, turn the
indicator selector knob (2) left or right
repeatedly when the hour indication

indicator selector knob (2). To set the
minute indication, push the indicator
selector knob (2).
NOTE:
When you reconnect the negative (–) ter-
minal to the battery, the clock indication will
be reinitialized. Change the indication
again to your preference.

and check the maintenance sched-
ule regularly for required services.
Increased wear or damage to certain
parts can result from failure to per-
form required services at the proper
mileage intervals.
