MODIFICATION WARNING

w WARNING

Do not modify this vehicle. Modification could adversely affect safety, handling, performance, or durability and may contravene regulations. In addition, damage or performance problems resulting from modification may not be covered under warranty.

w WARNING

Your vehicle has monocoque body construction which provides for certain crumple zones in the body which absorbs larger part of impact energy in the event of a front collision and protects the occupants from impact. Do not use any fitments such as crash guards. These fitments will increase the risk to the occupants because of the shock directly getting transmitted to the occupants.

CAUTION

Improper instllation of mobile communication equipment such as cellular telephones or CB (Citizen’s Band) radios may cause electronic interference with your vehicle’s ignition system, resulting in vehicle performance problems. Consult your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer or qualified service technician for advice on installing such mobile communication equipment.

FUEL RECOMMENDATION

You must use unleaded petrol with an octane number (RON) of 91 or higher.

CAUTION

Use of leaded fuel in vehicle equipped with catalytic converter is prohibited, because lead deactivates the pollutant reducing components of catalytic converter and may result in permanent damage to catalytic converter.

3-1

Petrol/Ethanol Blends

Blends of unleaded petrol and ethanol (grain alcohol), also known as gasohol, are commercially available in some areas. Blends of this type may be used in your vehicle if they are no more than 5% ethanol. Make sure this petrol-ethanol blend has octane ratings no lower than those recommended for petrol.

Petrol/Methanol Blends

Blends of unleaded petrol and methanol (wood alcohol) are also commercially available in some areas. DO NOT USE fuels containing more than 5% methanol under any circumstances. Fuel system damage or vehicle performance problems resulting from the use of such fuels are not the responsibility of MARUTI SUZUKI and may not be covered under Warranty.

Fuels containing 5% or less methanol may be suitable for use in your vehicle if they contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors.

NOTE:

If you are not satisfied with the driveability or fuel economy of your vehicle when you are using a petrol/alcohol blend, you should switch back to unleaded petrol containing no alcohol.

CAUTION

Be careful not to spill fuel containing alcohol while refuelling. If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body, wipe it up immediately. Fuels containing alcohol can cause paint damage, which is not covered under New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

CAUTION

The fuel tank has an air space to allow for fuel expansion in hot weather. If you continue to add fuel after the filler nozzle has automatically shut off or an initial blowback occurs, the air chamber will become full. Exposure to heat when fully fuelled in this manner will result in leakage due to fuel expansion. To prevent such fuel leakage, stop filling after the filler nozzle has automatically shut off, or when using an alternative non automatic system, initial vent blowback occurs.

Immobilizer System

This system is designed to help prevent vehicle theft by electronically disabling the engine starting system.

The engine can be started only with your vehicle’s original immobilizer ignition key which has an electronic identification code programmed into it. The key communicates the identification code to the vehicle when the key is turned to the “ON” position. If you need to make spare keys, contact your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. The vehicle must be programmed with the correct identification code for the spare keys. A key made by an ordinary locksmith will not work.

3-2

76G-03-003

If the Immobilizer system light (1) blinks when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, there may be something wrong with your key or with the immobilizer system. Contact your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer to inspect the system.

3-3

NOTE:

•If you lose your Immobilizer ignition key, contact your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible to have the lost one deactivated, then have the new key made by them.

•If you own other vehicles with immobilizer keys, keep those keys away from the ignition switch when using your vehicle, or the engine may not be started because they may interfere with your vehicle’s immobilizer system.

CAUTION

In case of attaching any metal objects to the immobilizer key, it may not start the engine.

The immobilizer key is a sensitive electronic instrument. To avoid damaging the immobilizer key:

•Do not expose it to impacts, moisture or high temperature such as by leaving it on the dashboard under direct sunlight.

•Keep the immobilizer key away from magnetic objects.

25

w WARNING

V• Periodically inspect seat belt assemblies for excessive wear and damage. Seat belts should be replaced if webbing becomes frayed, contaminated, or damaged in any way. It is essential to replace the entire seat belt assembly after it has been stressed in an impact, even if damage to the assembly is not obvious.

• Infants and small children should never be transported unless they are properly restrained. Restraint systems for infants and small children can be purchased locally and should be used. Make sure that the system you purchase meets applicable safety standards. Read and follow all the directions provided by the manufacturer.

WARNING AND INDICATOR LIGHTS

76G-05-005

Brake fluid level warning/Parking Brake Indicator light

This light operates under three different type of operations :

1)The light comes on briefly when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” postion.

2)The light comes on when the parking brake is engaged with the ignition switch in the “ON” position.

3)The light comes on when the fluid in the brake fluid reservoir falls below the adequate level.

The light should go out after starting the engine and fully releasing the parking brake, if the fluid level in the brake fluid resevoir is adequate.

If the light does not go off or comes on whilst your driving, it may mean that there is something wrong with the vehicle’s braking system. If this happens, you should:

1) Pull off the road and stop carefully.

w WARNING

Remember that stopping distance may be longer, you may have to push harder on the pedal, and the pedal may go down farther than normal.

2)Test the brakes by carefully starting and stopping at the side of the road.

3)If you determine that it is safe, drive carefully at low speed to the nearest dealer for repairs. or

4)Have the vehicle towed to the nearest dealer for repairs.

w WARNING

If any of the following conditions occur, you should immediately ask your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer to inspect the brake system.

•If the brake fluid level warning light does not go out after the engine has been started and the parking brake has been fully released.

•If the brake fluid level warning light does not come on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position with the parking brake applied.

•If the brake fluid level warning light comes on at any time during vehicle operation.

NOTE:

Because the disc brake system is self adjusting, the fluid level will drop as the brake pads become worn.

Replenishing the brake fluid reservoir is considered normal periodic maintenance.

Oil Pressure Light

This light comes on when the ignition switch is turned on, and goes out when the engine is started. The light will come on and remain on if there is insufficient oil pressure. If the light comes on when driving, pull off the road as soon as you can and stop the engine. Check the oil level and add oil if necessary (see section «INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE»). If there is enough oil, the lubrication system should be inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer before you drive the vehicle again.

“Malfunction Indicator” Light

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 when the ignition switch is turned to “ON” and goes out when the engine is started.

If the “Malfunction Indicator” light comes on when the engine is running, there is a problem with the emission control system. Take the vehicle to your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer to have the problem corrected.

CAUTION

Continuing to drive the vehicle when the “Malfunction Indicator” light is on can cause permanent damage to the vehicle’s emission control system, and can affect fuel economy and driveability.
