The air cleaner element should be
replaced every 40,000 km. More
frequent replacement is necessary
when you drive under dusty
conditions.
CAUTION
SPARK PLUGS
You should inspect spark plugs periodically
for carbon deposits. When carbon
accumulates on a spark plug, a strong
spark may not be produced. Remove
carbon deposits with a wire or pin and
adjust the spark plug gap.

EXAMPLE
• When disconnecting the spark plug
cables, pull on the boot, not on the
cable itself. Pulling on the cable can
damage it.
• When installing the spark plugs,
screw them in with your fingers to
avoid stripping the threads. Tighten
with a torque wrench to :
Alto - 13.0–22.0 N-m (1.3–2.2 kg-m,
9.4–15.9 lb-ft)
Alto K10 - 25 N-m (2.5 kg-m, 18.0
lb-ft).
Do not allow contaminants to enter
the engine through the spark plug
holes when the plugs are removed.
• Never use spark plugs with the
wrong thread size or length.
CAUTION
When replacing spark plugs, you
should use the brand and type
specified for your vehicle. For the
specified plugs, refer to the
“SPECIFICATIONS” section at the end
of this book.
NOTE:
When installation, make sure the wires,
couplers, sealing rubber of top cover and
washers, are correctly returned in place.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

NOTE:
If you experience some firing problem of
spark plugs, such as, hard engine-starting,
misfire etc., the cause may be located not
only on spark plugs but also on deteriorated
ignition wiring (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.

line with MARUTI GENUINE brake fluid.
Failure to follow the guidelines below
can result in personal injury or
serious damage to the brake system.
• If the brake fluid in the reservoir
drops below a certain level, the
