Engine CoolantSelection of CoolantTo maintain optimum performance and
durability of your engine, use MARUTI
SUZUKI 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 corro-
sion and rust.
Failure to use the proper coolant can dam-
age your cooling system. Your authorized
MARUTI SUZUKI dealer can help you
select the proper coolant.
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.Adding Coolant
(For Petrol Engine Model)
74LHT7003
Coolant level is to be maintained between
“LOW” and “FULL” mark. When the engine
is cool, remove the reservoir tank cap. Add
coolant until the reservoir tank level
NOTICE
To avoid damaging your cooling sys-
tem:
Always use a high quality ethylene
glycol base non-silicate type cool-
ant diluted with distilled water at
the correct mixture concentration.
Make sure that the proper mix is 50/
50 coolant to distilled water (Die-
sel) and 30/70 (Petrol). Concentra-
tions greater than this may cause
overheating conditions.
Neither use 100% coolant nor 100%
Plain water.
NOTICE
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/automatic
transaxle damage.
WA R N I N G
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 hot vapors; if inhaled, remove
to fresh air. If coolant gets in eyes,
flush eyes with water and seek medi-
cal attention. Wash thoroughly after
handling. Solution can be poisonous
to animals. Keep out of the reach of
children and animals.
NOTICE
The mixture you use should con-
tain 50% concentration of anti-
freeze.
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
the instructions on the antifreeze
container.

NOTE:
If your engine is equipped with the high
tension cord type ignition wiring and you
experience some firing problem of spark
plugs, such as, hard engine-starting, mis-
fire etc., the cause may be located not only
on spark plugs but also on deteriorated
ignition wirings (generally, used for more
than 80,000 km or five years). If spark plug
replacement does not solve the problem,
have the ignition wiring and other ignition
system inspected by your MARUTI
SUZUKI dealer.Gear OilManual Transaxle Oil / Auto Gear
Shift OilWhen adding gear oil, use gear oil with the
appropriate viscosity and grade.

To check the gear oil level, use the fol-
lowing procedure:
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface with
the parking brake applied. Then, stop
the engine.
2) Remove the oil filler plug (1) or (2) .
3) Check the inside of the hole with your
finger. If the oil level comes up to the
bottom of the plug hole, the oil level is
correct. If so, reinstall the plug.
4) If the oil level is low, add gear oil
through the oil filler plug hole (1) or (2)
until the oil level reaches the bottom of
the filler hole, then reinstall the plug.
