Fuel Recommendation
Petrol EngineYou must use unleaded Petrol with anoctane number (RON) of 91 or higher.
Petrol/Ethanol blendsBlends of unleaded Petrol and ethanol(grain alcohol), also known as gasohol, arecommercially available in some areas.Blends of this type may be used in yourvehicle if they are no more than 10% etha-nol. Make sure this Petrol-ethanol blend hasoctane ratings no lower than thoserecommended for Petrol.
Petrol/Methanol blendsBlends of unleaded Petrol and methanol(wood alcohol) are also commercially availablein some areas. DO NOT USE fuels containingmore than 5% methanol under anycircumstances. Fuel system damage orvehicle performance problems resulting fromthe use of such fuels are not the responsibilityof MARUTI SUZUKI and may not be coveredunder the New Vehicle Warranty.Fuels containing 5% or less methanol maybe suitable for use in your vehicle if theycontain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors.
NOTE:If you are not satisfied with the driveabilityor fuel economy of your vehicle when you
are using a Petrol/alcohol blend, you shouldswitch back to unleaded Petrol containingno alcohol.
The fuel tank has an air space toallow for fuel expansion in hotweather. If you continue to add fuelafter the filler nozzle has automaticallyshut off or an initial blowback occurs,the air chamber will become full.Exposure to heat when fully fuelled inthis manner will result in leakage dueto fuel expansion. To prevent suchfuel leakage, stop filling after the fillernozzle has automatically shut off, orwhen using an alternative non-automatic system, initial ventblowback occurs.
NOTICE
Be careful not to spill fuel containingalcohol while refueling. If fuel isspilled on the vehicle body, wipe it upimmediately. Fuels containing alcoholcan cause paint damage, which is notcovered under the New VehicleLimited Warranty.

Read this section and the “SupplementalRestraint System (air bags)” section to learnmore about the pretensioner system.
The seat belt pretensioner system workswith the SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINTSYSTEM (Air Bags). The crash sensors andthe electronic controller of the air bagsystem also control the seat belt preten-sioners. When the air bags are triggered,the pretensioner are also triggered. Forprecautions and general informationincluding servicing the pretensioner system,refer to the “Supplemental Restraint System(air bags)” section in addition to this “SeatBelt Pretensioner System” section, andfollow all those precautions.
The pretensioner is located in each frontseat belt retractor. The pretensioner tight-ens the seat belt so the belt fits the occu-pant’s body more snugly in the event of afrontal crash. The retractors will remainlocked after the pretensioners are activated.Upon activation, some noise will occur andsome smoke may be released. Theseconditions are not harmful and do notindicate a fire in the vehicle.The driver and all passengers must beproperly restrained by wearing seat belts atall times, whether or not a pretensioner isequipped at their seating position, tominimize the risk of severe injury or deathin the event of a crash.
Sit fully back in the seat; sit up straight; donot lean forward or sideways. Adjust the beltso the lap portion of the belt is worn lowacross the pelvis, not across the waist.Please refer to the “Seat Adjustment” sec-tion and the instructions and precautionsabout the seat belts in this “Seat Belts andChild Restraint Systems” section for detailson proper seat and seat belt adjustments.
Please note that the pretensioners along withthe air bags will activate in severe frontalcollisions. They are not designed to activatein rear impacts, side impacts, rollovers, orminor frontal collisions. The pretensionerscan be activated only once. If thepretensioners are activated (that is, if the airbags are activated), have the pretensionersystem serviced by an authorized MARUTISUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
If the “AIR BAG” light on the instrumentcluster does not blink or come on brieflywhen the ignition switch is turned to the“ON” position, stays on for more than 10seconds, or comes on while driving, thepretensioner system or the air bag systemmay not work properly. Have both systemsinspected by an authorized MARUTISUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.
Service on or around the pretensioner sys-tem components or wiring must be per-formed only by an authorized MARUTI
SUZUKI dealer who is specially trained.Improper service could result in unintendedactivation of pretensioners or could renderthe pretensioner inoperative. Either of thesetwo conditions may result in personal injury.
To prevent damage or unintended activationof the pretensioners, be sure the battery isdisconnected and the ignition switch hasbeen in the “LOCK” position for at least 90seconds before performing any electricalservice work on your MARUTI SUZUKI.
Do not touch pretensioner system compo-nents or wiring. The wires are wrapped withyellow tape or yellow tubing, and thecouplers are yellow. When scrapping yourMARUTI SUZUKI, ask your MARUTISUZUKI dealer, body repair shop, or scrapyard for assistance.

How the System WorksIn a frontal collision, the crash sensors willdetect rapid deceleration, and if the con-troller judges that the deceleration repre-sents a severe frontal crash, the controllerwill trigger the inflators. The inflators inflatethe appropriate air bags with nitrogen orargon gas. The inflated air bags provide acushion for your head and upper body. Theair bag inflates and deflates so quickly thatyou may not even realize that it has acti-vated. The air bag will neither hinder yourview nor make it harder to exit the vehicle.
Air bags must inflate quickly and forcefullyin order to reduce the chance of serious orfatal injuries. However, an unavoidableconsequence of the quick inflation is thatthe air bag may irritate bare skin, such asthe facial area against a front air bag. Also,upon inflation, a loud noise will occur andsome powder and smoke will be released.These conditions are not harmful and do notindicate a fire in the vehicle. Be aware,
however, that some air bag componentsmay be hot for a while after inflation.
A seat belt helps keep you in the properposition for maximum protection when an airbag inflates. Adjust your seat as far backas possible while still maintaining control ofthe vehicle. Sit fully back in your seat; situp straight; do not lean over the steeringwheel or dashboard. Please refer to the“Seat Adjustment” section and the “SeatBelts and Child Restraint Systems” in thissection for details on proper seat and seatbelt adjustments.

Note that even though your vehicle may bemoderately damaged in a collision, the col-lision may not have been severe enough totrigger the air bags to inflate. If your vehiclesustains ANY front-end or side damage,have the air bag system inspected by anauthorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer toensure it is in proper working order.
Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnosticmodule which records information about theair bag system if the air bags deploy in acrash. The module records informationabout overall system status, which sensorsactivated the deployment.
Servicing the air bag systemIf the air bags inflate, have the air bags andrelated components replaced by an autho-rized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer as soon aspossible.
If your vehicle ever gets in deep water andthe driver’s floor is submerged, the air bagcontroller could be damaged. If it does,have the air bag system inspected by theMARUTI SUZUKI dealer as soon aspossible.
Special procedures are required for servic-ing or replacing an air bag. For that reason,only an authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealershould be allowed to service or replace yourair bags. Please remind anyone whoservices your MARUTI SUZUKI that it hasair bags.
Service on or around air bag componentsor wiring must be performed only by anauthorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.Improper service could result in unintendedair bag deployment or could render the airbag inoperative. Either of these twoconditions may result in severe injury.
To prevent damage or unintended inflationof the air bag system, be sure the batteryis disconnected and the ignition switch hasbeen in the “LOCK” position for at least 90seconds before performing any electricalservice work on your MARUTI SUZUKI. Do
not touch air bag system components orwires. The wires are wrapped with yellowtape or yellow tubing, and the couplers areyellow for easy identification.
Scrapping a vehicle that has an uninflatedair bag can be hazardous. Ask your dealer,body repair shop or scrap yard for help withdisposal.

Exhaust Gas Warning
wwwww WARNINGAvoid breathing exhaust gases.Exhaust gases contain carbon mon-oxide, a potentially lethal gas that iscolorless and odorless. Since carbonmonoxide is difficult to detect byitself, be sure to take the followingprecautions to help prevent carbonmonoxide from entering your vehicle.• Do not leave the engine running in
garages or other confined areas.• Do not park with the engine running
for a long period of time, even in anopen area. If it is necessary to sitfor a short time in a parked vehiclewith the engine running, make sure
the air intake selector is set to“FRESH AIR” and the blower is athigh speed.
• Avoid operating the vehicle with thetailgate or trunk open. If it isnecessary to operate the vehiclewith the tailgate or trunk open,make sure the sunroof (if equipped)and all windows are closed, and theblower is at high speed with the airintake selector set to “FRESH AIR”.
• To allow proper operation of yourvehicle’s ventilation system, keepthe air inlet grille in front of thewindshield clear of snow, leaves orother obstructions at all times.
• Keep the exhaust tailpipe area clearof snow and other material to helpreduce the buildup of exhaust gasesunder the vehicle. This isparticularly important when parkedin blizzard conditions.
• Have the exhaust system inspectedperiodically for damage and leaks.Any damage or leaks should berepaired immediately.

6) Adjust the seat and head restraint (ifequipped).
7) Check the brake pedal and the parkingbrake lever.
8) Adjust the mirrors.9) Make sure that you and all passengers
have properly fastened your seat belts.10)Make sure that all warning lights come
on as the key is turned to the “ON” posi-tion.
11)Check all gauges.12)Make sure that the BRAKE SYSTEM
WARNING light turns off when theparking brake is released.
Once a week, or each time you fill your fueltank, perform the following under-hoodchecks:
1) Engine oil level2) Coolant level3) Brake fluid level4) Battery solution level5) Windshield washer fluid level6) Hood latch operation
Pull the hood release handle inside thevehicle. Make sure that you cannot openthe hood all the way without releasingthe secondary latch. Be sure to close
the hood securely after checking forproper latch operation. See the item “Alllatches, hinges and locks” of “CHASSISAND BODY” in the “PeriodicMaintenance Schedule” in the“INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE”section for lubrication schedule.
wwwww WARNINGMake sure the hood is fully closedand latched before driving. If it is not,it can fly up unexpectedly duringdriving, obstructing your view andresulting in an accident.
Once a month, or each time you fill yourfuel tank, check the tyre pressure using atyre pressure gauge. Also check the tyrepressure of the spare tyre.
Engine Oil ConsumptionIt is normal for the engine to consume someengine oil during normal vehicle operation.
The amount of engine oil consumeddepends on the viscosity of the oil, thequality of the oil and the conditions thevehicle is driven under.More oil is consumed during high-speeddriving and when there is frequent acceler-ation and deceleration. Under high loads,your engine also will consume more oil.A new engine also consumes more oil,since its pistons, piston rings and cylinder
walls have not yet become conditioned. Newengines reach the normal level of oilconsumption only after approximately 5000km (3000 miles) driving.
Oil consumption:Max. 1.0 L per 1000 km(1 Qt. per 600 miles)
When judging the amount of oil consump-tion, note that the oil may become dilutedand make it difficult to accurately judge thetrue oil level.As an example, if a vehicle is used forrepeated short trips, and consumes a nor-mal amount of oil, the dipstick may notshow any drop in the oil level at all, evenafter 1000 km (600 miles) or more of driv-ing. This is because the oil is graduallybecoming diluted with fuel or moisture,making it appear that the oil level has notchanged.You should also be aware that the dilutingingredients evaporate out when the vehicleis subsequently driven at high speeds, suchas on an expressway, making it appear thatoil is excessively consumed after high-speeddriving.

wwwww WARNING• Reduce your speed and downshift
to a lower gear before going downa long or steep hill. A lower gearwill allow the engine to providebraking. Avoid riding the brakes orthey may overheat, resulting inbrake failure.
• When driving on slippery roads, besure to slow down before down-shifting. Excessive and/or suddenchanges in engine speed may causeloss of traction, which could causeyou to lose control.

NOTICE• To help avoid clutch damage, do not
use the clutch pedal as a footrestwhile driving or use the clutch tokeep the vehicle stationary on aslope. Depress the clutch fully whenshifting.
• When shifting or starting off, do notrace the engine. Racing the enginecan shorten engine life and causenegative effect to smooth shifting.
Braking
60M-03-011
The distance needed to bring any vehicleto a halt increases with the speed of thevehicle. The braking distance needed, forexample, at 60 km/h (37 mph) will beapproximately 4 times greater than the
braking distance needed at 30 km/h (19mph). Start to brake the vehicle when thereis plenty of distance between your vehicleand the stopping point, and slow downgradually.
wwwww WARNINGIf water gets into the brake drums,brake performance may become poorand unpredictable. After drivingthrough water or washing the under-side of the vehicle, test the brakeswhile driving at a slow speed to seeif they have maintained their normaleffectiveness. If the brakes are lesseffective than normal, dry them byrepeatedly applying the brakes whiledriving slowly until the brakes haveregained their normal effectiveness.
Power-Assisted BrakesYour vehicle has power-assisted brakes. Ifpower assistance is lost due to a stalledengine or other failures, the system is stillfully operational on reserve power and youcan bring the vehicle to a complete stop bypressing the brake pedal once and holdingit down. The reserve power is partly usedup when you depress the brake pedal andreduces each time the pedal is pressed.Apply smooth and even pressure to thepedal. Do not pump the pedal.

Even without reserve power in thebrake system, you can still stop thevehicle by pressing the brake pedalharder than normally required. How-ever, the stopping distance may belonger.
wwwww WARNING
Brake Assist System (if equipped)When you slam the brakes on, the brakeassist system judges as an emergency stopand provides more powerful braking for adriver who cannot hold down the brakepedal firmly.
NOTE:If you quickly and forcefully depress thebrakes, you may hear a clicking sound inthe brake pedal. This is normal and indi-cates that the brake assist system is acti-vated properly.
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)(if equipped)ABS will help you avoid skidding by elec-tronically controlling braking pressure. It willalso help you maintain steering control whenbraking on slippery surfaces or whenbraking hard.The ABS works automatically, so you do notneed any special braking technique. Justpush the brake pedal down without
pumping. The ABS will operate whenever itsenses that the wheels are locking up. Youmay feel the brake pedal moves a littlewhile the ABS is operating.
NOTE:The ABS will not work if vehicle speed isunder about 10 km/h (6mph).
wwwww WARNING• On some types of loose surfaces
(such as gravel, snow-coveredroads, etc.) the stopping distancerequired for an ABS-equipped vehi-cle may be slightly greater than fora comparable vehicle with a con-ventional brake system. With aconventional brake system, skiddingtyres are able to “plow” the gravelor snow layer, shortening thestopping distance. ABS minimizesthis resistance effect. Allow for extrastopping distance when driving onloose surfaces.
• On regular paved roads, some driv-ers may be able to obtain slightlyshorter stopping distances withconventional brake systems thanwith ABS.
• In both of the above conditions,ABS will still offer the advantage ofhelping you maintain directional

If so,the rear wheels may easily skid orthe vehicle can even spin in theworst case when braking on aslippery road or when hard brakingeven on a dry paved road. Ask yourMARUTI SUZUKI dealer to inspectthe ABS system immediately. Drivecarefully, avoiding hard braking asmuch as possible.
VVVV V
How the ABS WorksA computer continuously monitors wheelspeed. The computer compares the changesin wheel speed when braking. If the wheelsslow suddenly, indicating a skiddingsituation, the computer will change brakingpressure several times each second toprevent the wheels from locking. When youstart your vehicle or when you accelerateafter a hard stop, you may hear amomentary motor or clicking noise as thesystem resets or checks itself.
wwwww WARNINGThe ABS may not work properly iftyres or wheels other than thosespecified in the owner’s manual areused. This is because the ABS worksby comparing changes in wheelspeed. When replacing tyres orwheels, use only the size and typespecified in this owner’s manual.

Running-in Catalytic Converter
60M-04-002
EXAMPLE
The purpose of the catalytic converter is tominimize the amount of harmful pollutantsin your vehicle’s exhaust. Use of leaded fuelin vehicles equipped with catalyticconverters is prohibited, because leaddeactivates the pollutant-reducing compo-nents of the catalyst system.
The converter is designed to last the life ofthe vehicle under normal usage and whenunleaded fuel is used. No special mainte-nance is required on the converter. How-ever, it is very important to keep the engineproperly tuned. Engine misfiring, which canresult from an improperly tuned engine, maycause overheating of the catalyst. This mayresult in permanent heat damage to thecatalyst and other vehicle components.

tion, particularly one involvingengine misfiring or other apparentloss of performance, have the vehi-cle serviced promptly.
• Do not turn off the engine or inter-rupt the ignition when the trans-mission is in gear and the vehicleis in motion.
• Do not try to start the engine bypushing or towing the vehicle, orcoasting down a hill.
• Do not idle the engine with anyspark plug wires disconnected orremoved, such as during diagnostictesting.
• Do not idle the vehicle for pro-longed periods if idling seems roughor there are other malfunctions.

Highway DrivingWhen driving at highway speeds, payattention to the following:• Stopping distance progressively increases
with vehicle speed. Apply the brakes farenough ahead of the stopping point toallow for the extra stopping distance.
• On rainy days, “Hydroplaning” can occur.“Hydroplaning” is the loss of direct con-tact between the road surface and thevehicle’s tyres due to a water filmforming between them. Steering orbraking the vehicle while “Hydroplaning”can be very difficult, and loss of controlcan occur. Keep speed down when theroad surface is wet.
• At high speeds, the vehicle may beaffected by side winds. Therefore, reducespeed and be prepared for unexpectedbuffeting, which can occur at the exitsof tunnels, when passing by a cut of ahill, or when being overtaken by largevehicles, etc.
Driving on Hills
60M-04-005
• When climbing steep hills, the vehiclemay begin to slow down and show a lackof power. If this happens, you should shiftto a lower gear so that the engine willagain be operating in its normal powerrange. Shift rapidly to prevent the vehiclefrom losing momentum.
• When driving down a hill, the engineshould be used for braking by shifting tonext lower gear.
Try not to hold the brake pedal downtoo long or too often while goingdown a steep or long hill. This couldcause the brakes to overheat, result-ing in reduced braking efficiency.Failure to take this precaution couldresult in loss of vehicle control.
wwwww WARNING
NOTICEWhen descending a down hill, NEVERturn the ignition key to the “OFF”position. Emission control systemdamage may result.
Under wet road conditions you should driveat a lower speed than on dry roads due topossible slippage of tyres during braking.When driving on icy, snow-covered, ormuddy roads, reduce your speed and avoidsudden acceleration, abrupt braking, orsharp steering movements.
Tyre ChainsTyre chains should only be used if they areneeded to increase traction or are requiredby law. Make sure that the chains you useare the correct size for your vehicle’s tyres.Also make sure that there is enough clear-ance between the fenders and the chainsas installed on the tyres.
Install the chains on the front tyres tightly,according to the chain manufacturer’s

instructions. Retighten the chains afterdriving about 1.0 km (1/2 mile) if necessary.With the chains installed, drive slowly.
NOTICE• If you hear the chains hitting
against the vehicle body while driv-ing, stop and tighten them.
• If your vehicle is equipped with fullwheel caps, remove the wheel capsbefore installing the chains or thewheel caps can be damaged by thechain bands.
If Your Vehicle Gets StuckIf your vehicle gets stuck in snow, mud, orsand, follow the directions below:
1) Shift the transmission back and forthbetween a forward range (or first gearfor manual transmission) and reverse.This will create a rocking motion whichmay give you enough momentum to freethe vehicle. Press gently on theaccelerator to keep wheel spinning to aminimum wheel rpm. Remove your footfrom the accelerator while shifting.Do not race the engine. Excessive wheelspin will cause the tyres to dig deeper,making it more difficult to free the vehicle.
2) If your vehicle remains stuck after a fewminutes of rocking, get another vehicleto pull your vehicle out.
wwwww WARNINGDo not allow anyone to stand near thevehicle when you are rocking it, anddo not spin the wheels faster than anindicated 40 km/h (25 mph) on thespeedometer. Personal injury and/ orvehicle damage may result from spin-ning the wheels too fast.

especially dangerous when the tyres areworn, for they allow a larger skid.Use foot brake in three stages(1) Warn the vehicle behind you(2) Gradually apply the brake.(3) Bring the vehicle to a halt.
3. When driving on a downhill, try not toapply the brake but use the enginebrake effectively. Overuse of thefootbrake may result in total brakefailure.
4. Avoid reckless high speed driving and tryto drive at a safe speed suitable for theroad conditions while maintaining aconstant speed.
5. The higher the speed, the narrower thedriver’s visual range becomes. In sucha state, it is difficult to anticipate anyhazard and the driver feels muchfatigued.
6. Never do sharp handling during highspeed driving. You will lose your controlover your vehicle.
7. When overtaking or changing the lanewhile driving at a high speed, keep anample vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
Long distance driving1. Be sure to perform safety checks before
starting a trip.
2. Take rest at certain intervals to preventan accident which may occur when youare sleepy or tyred.
Braking1. Use the parking brake when parking
your vehicle and shift the gear shift leverinto the first gear or reverse gearposition for the sake of safety.
2. Don’t use handbraking unlessunavoidable. It causes the vehicle to skidand a rearend collision occur. It is

Night time driving1. Drive more slowly at night than in the
daytime, for the visual range is restrictedat night.
2. Don’t overtake other vehicles at night.Darkness bothers your sense of speedand hinders your judgement on thevehicle-to-vehicle distance.
3. Don’t use the high headlight beamunless its use is inevitable. Its dazzlemay blitz the driver of the oncomingvehicle, thus causing an accident.
4. Always keep the window glasses clean.Don’t operate the windshield wiper whenthe windshield glass is dry or the wiperblade and glass may get damaged.

System Operating Instructions
Natural ventilationSelect “VENTILATION” and “FRESH AIR”,the temperature selector to the desiredtemperature position, and the blower speedselector to “OFF”. Fresh air will flow throughthe vehicle during driving.
Forced ventilationThe control settings are the same as fornatural ventilation except you set the blowerspeed selector to a position other than “OFF”.
Normal heating (using outside air)Select “HEAT” and “FRESH AIR”, the tem-perature selector to the desired temperatureposition and the blower speed selector tothe desired blower speed position. Settingthe blower speed selector to a higher blowerspeed position increases heating efficiency.
Quick heating (using recirculated air)The control settings are the same as fornormal heating except you select “RECIR-CULATED AIR”. If you use this heatingmethod for an extended period of time, theair in the vehicle can become contaminated
and the windows can become misty.Therefore, use this method only for quickheating and change to the normal heatingmethod as soon as possible.
Head cooled/Feet warmed heatingSelect “BI-LEVEL” and “FRESH AIR”, thetemperature selector to the desired tem-perature position, and the blower speedselector to the desired blower speed posi-tion. Unless the temperature selector is inthe fully COLD position or fully HOT posi-tion, the air that comes out of the centerand side outlets will be cooler than the airthat comes out of the floor outlets.
Normal coolingSet the air flow selector to “VENTILATION”,the temperature selector to the desiredtemperature position and the blower speedselector to the desired blower speed posi-tion, and turn on the “A/C” switch. Settingthe blower speed selector to a higher blowerspeed position increases cooling efficiency.
You can switch the air intake selector toeither “FRESH AIR” or “RECIRCULATEDAIR” as you desire. Choosing “RECIRCU-LATED AIR” increases cooling efficiency.
Quick cooling (using recirculated air)The control settings are the same as fornormal cooling except you select “RECIR-CULATED AIR” and the highest blowerspeed.

NOTE:
• If you select “RECIRCULATED AIR” foran extended period of time, the air in thevehicle can become contaminated.Therefore, you should occasionally select“FRESH AIR”.
• If your vehicle has been left in the sunwith the windows closed, it will coolfaster if you open the windows brieflywhile you operate the air conditioner withthe air intake selector at “FRESH AIR”and the blower at high speed.
DehumidifyingSet the air flow selector to a desired air flowselector position, the temperature selectorto the desired temperature position and theblower speed selector to the desired blowerspeed position. Also select “FRESH AIR”and turn on the “A/C” switch.
NOTE:Because the air conditioner dehumidifies theair, turning it on will help keep the windowsclear, even when blowing heated air usingthe “DEFROST” or “HEAT & DEFROST”functions.
NOTE:If you need maximum defrosting:• select “DEFROST” and “FRESH AIR”,• turn on the “A/C” switch,• set the blower speed selector to HIGH,• adjust the temperature selector to the
HOT end, and• adjust the side outlets so the air blows
on the side windows.
MaintenanceIf you do not use the air conditioner for along period, such as during winter, it maynot give the best performance when youstart using it again. To help maintain opti-mum performance and durability of your airconditioner, it needs to be run periodically.Operate the air conditioner at least once amonth for one minute with the engine idling.

the WMA file to enable this unit to play-back.
Notes on MP3/WMAWhat is MP3/WMA?MP3 (MPEG1/2 Audio Layer-III) and WMA(Windows MediaTM Audio) are the com-pression formats of digital audio. The formeris developed by MPEG (Motion PictureExperts Group), and the latter is developedby Microsoft Corporation.Using these compression formats, you canrecord contents of about 10 music CDs ona single CD media. (This figure refers todata recorded on a 650 MB CD-R or CD-RW at a fixed bit rate of 128 kbps and asampling frequency of 44.1 kHz.)
Points to remember when making MP3/WMA filesCommon• High bit rate and high sampling fre-
quency are recommended for highquality sounds.
• Selecting VBR (Variable Bit Rate) is notrecommended. Selecting VBR maycause display of incorrect playing timeand jumpiness of playback.
• Playback sound quality varies dependingon the encoding environment. Fordetails, refer to the user manual of theencoding software and the writing soft-ware in use.
MP3• It is recommended to set the bit rate to
“128 kbps or more” and “fixed”.
NOTICENever assign the “.mp3”, or “.wma”file name extension to a file if it is notin the MP3/WMA format file. Failure toobserve this may result in damage tothe speaker due to noise production.
• You may encounter a trouble in playingMP3/WMA files or displaying informationof MP3/WMA files depending on thewriting software or CD recorder in use.
• This unit does not have a play list func-tion.
• It is recommended to write discs in Disc-at-Once mode even though Multi-sessionmode is supported.

Vehicle LoadingYour vehicle was designed for specificweight capacities. The weight capacities ofyour vehicle are indicated by the GrossVehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and theGross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR, front andrear). The GVWR and GAWR (front andrear) are listed in the “SPECIFICATIONS”section.
GVWR – Maximum permissible overallweight of the fully loaded vehicle (includingall the occupants, accessories and cargoplus the trailer nose weight if towing atrailer).GAWR – (Front and Rear) Maximum per-missible weight on an individual axle.
Actual weight of the loaded vehicle andactual loads at the front and rear axles canonly be determined by weighing the vehi-cle. Compare these weights to the GVWRand GAWR (front and rear). If the grossvehicle weight or the load on either axleexceeds these ratings, you must removeenough weight to bring the load down to therated capacity.
wwwww WARNINGNever overload your vehicle. Thegross vehicle weight (sum of theweights of the vehicle, all the occu-pants, accessories, cargo plus trailernose weight if towing a trailer) mustnever exceed the Gross VehicleWeight Rating (GVWR). In addition,never distribute a load so that theweight on either the front or rear axleexceeds the Gross Axle Weight Rat-ing (GAWR).
wwwww WARNING
Trailer TowingYour MARUTI SUZUKI was originallydesigned to carry people and a normalamount of cargo, not to tow a trailer.MARUTI SUZUKI does not recommend youuse your vehicle to tow a trailer. Towing atrailer can adversely affect handling,durability, and fuel economy.
Always distribute cargo evenly. Toavoid personal injury or damage toyour vehicle, always secure cargo toprevent it from shifting if the vehiclemoves suddenly. Place heavier objectson the floor and as far forward in thecargo area as possible. Never pilecargo higher than the top of the seatbacks.

NOTICE• When replacing the oil filter, it is
recommended that you use a Marutigenuine replacement filter. If youuse an aftermarket filter, make sureit is of equivalent quality and followthe manufacturer’s instructions.
• Oil leaks from around the oil filteror drain plug indicate incorrectinstallation or gasket damage. If youfind any leaks or are not sure thatthe filter has been properly tigh-tened, have the vehicle inspected byyour MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
Engine Coolant
Selection of CoolantTo maintain optimum performance anddurability of your engine, use Maruti genuineCoolant or equivalent.
This type of coolant is best for your coolingsystem as it:• Helps maintain proper engine temperature.• Gives proper protection against freezing
and boiling.• Gives proper protection against corrosion
and rust.Failure to use the proper coolant can dam-age your cooling system. Your authorizedMARUTI SUZUKI dealer can help you selectthe proper coolant.
NOTICETo avoid damaging your cooling sys-tem:• Always use a high quality ethylene
glycol base non-silicate type coolantdiluted with distilled water at thecorrect mixture concentration.
• Make sure that the proper mix is 30/70 coolant to distilled water forpetrol and 50/50 for diesel. In nocase higher than 70/30. Concen-trations greater than 70/30 coolantto distilled water will cause over-heating conditions.
• Do not use straight coolant norplain water.
• Do not add extra inhibitors or addi-tives. They may not be compatiblewith your cooling system.
• Do not mix different types of basecoolants. Doing so may result inaccelerated seal wear and/or thepossibility of severe overheating andextensive engine damage.

Corrosion PreventionIt is important to take good care of yourvehicle to protect it from corrosion. Listedbelow are instructions for how to maintainyour vehicle to prevent corrosion. Pleaseread and follow these instructions carefully.
Important Information About Corrosion
Common causes of corrosion1) Accumulation of road salt, dirt, moisture,
or chemicals in hard-to-reach areas ofthe vehicle underbody or frame.
2) Chipping, scratches and any damage totreated or painted metal surfacesresulting from minor accidents or abra-sion by stones and gravel.
Environmental conditions which accel-erate corrosion1) Road salt, dust control chemicals, sea
air or industrial pollution will all acceler-ate the corrosion of metal.
2) High humidity will increase the rate ofcorrosion particularly when the temper-ature range is just above the freezingpoint.
3) Moisture in certain areas of a vehicle foran extended period of time may promotecorrosion even though other bodysections may be completely dry.
4) High temperatures will cause an accel-erated rate of corrosion to parts of thevehicle which are not well ventilated topermit quick drying.
