FUEL RECOMMENDATION
You must use unleaded petrol with an
octane number (RON) of 87 or higher.
Your vehicle is fitted with a restrictor in
the fuel filler pipe which will not allow the
use of large nozzle used for dispensing
leaded fuel at filling station. A label is
also attached near the fuel filler pipe of
your vehicle that states: “UNLEADED
FUEL ONLY”.
w
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.

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 10%
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 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
or fuel economy of your vehicle when
you are using a petrol/alcohol blend, you
should switch back to unleaded petrol
containing no alcohol.

79F-74E
w
CAUTION
Be careful not to spill fuel containing
alcohol while refuelling. Fuels
containing alcohol can cause paint
damage, which is not covered under
Warranty.
w
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.

KEYS
Your vehicle comes with a pair of identical
keys. Keep the spare key in a safe place.
One key can open all of the locks on the
vehicle.
The key identification number is stamped on
a metal tag provided with the keys. Keep
the tag in a safe place. If you lose your
keys, you will need this number to have
new keys made. Write the number down
and keep it in a safe accessible place away
from the vehicle.

Electric window controls (if equipped)
The driver’s door has switches 1 & 2 to
operate the drive r’s window and front
passenger’s window respectively.
The passenger’s door only has a switch
to operate the passenger’s window. The
electric windows can only be operated when
the ignition switch is in the “ON” position.
To open a window with the driver's door
switches, push the top part of the switch
and to close the window lift up the top
part of the switch.
The driver’s window has an “auto-down”
feature for added convenience (at toll booths
or drive-through restaurants, for example).
This means you can open the window
without holding the window switch in the

• Never allow persons to ride in the
cargo area of a vehicle. In the event
of an accident, there is a much
greater risk of injury fo r persons
who are not riding in a seat with
their seat belt securely fastened.
• Seat belts should always be
adjusted so the lap portion of the
belt is worn low across the pelvis,
not across the waist. Shoulder
straps should be worn on th e
outside shoulder only, and never
under the arm. Seat belts should
never be worn with the straps
twisted and should be adjusted as

the protection for which they have
been designed. A slack belt will
provide less protection than one
which is snug.
• Make sure that each seat belt buckle
is inserted into the proper buckle
catch.
• Do not wear your seat belt over
hard or breakable objects in your
pockets or on your clothing. If an
accident occurs, objects such as
glasses, pens, etc. under the seat
belt can cause injury.

• Never use the same seat belt on
more than one occupant and never
attach a seat belt over an infant or
child being held on an occupant’s
lap. Such seat belt use could cause
serious injury in the even t of an
accident.
• Pregnant women should use seat
belts, although specific recommendations about restraint use should
be made by the woman’s medical
advisor. Remember that the lap
portion of the belt should be worn
as low as possible across the hips,
as shown in the diagram.

• 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 yo u purchase
meets applicable safety standards.
Read and follow all the
directions provided by the
manufacturer.
• Avoid contamination of seat belt
webbing by polishes, oils,
chemicals, and particularly battery
acid. Cleaning may safely be carried
out using mild soap and water.
• For children, if the shoulder belt
irritates the neck or face, move the
child closer to th e center of the
vehicle.

w WARNING
Be sure to inspect all seat belt
assemblies after any collision. Any
seat belt assembly which was in use
during a collision (other than a very
minor one) should be replaced, even

obvious. An y seat belt assembly
which was not in use during a
collision should be replaced if it does
not function properly or is damaged in
any way.

This light operates under two conditions with
the ignition switch turned to the “ON”

reservoir falls below the specified level. The
light should go out after starting the engine
and fully releasing the parking brake, if the
fluid in the brake fluid reservoir is adequate.
If the light does not go off or comes on
whilst you are 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.
Remember that stopping distance may

harder on the pedal, and the pedal
may go down farther than normal.

or
4) Have the vehicle towed to the nearest
dealer for repairs.
If any of the following conditions
occur, you should immediately ask
