EXAMPLE

WARNING

Never connect the jump lead directly

to the negative (–) terminal of the dis-

charged battery, or an explosion may

occur.

CAUTION

Connect the jump lead to the engine

mount bracket securely. If the jump

lead disconnects from the engine

mount bracket because of vibration

at the start of the engine, the jump

lead could be caught in the drive

belts.

NOTICE

To help avoid damage to your vehicle

during towing, proper equipment and

towing procedures must be used.

NOTICE

Towing the 2WD vehicle with the

front wheels on the ground can result

in damage to the CVT.

EMERGENCY SERVICE

2-Wheel Drive (2WD) Manual Tran-

saxle

Manual transaxle vehicles may be towed

using either of the following methods.

1) From the front, with the front wheels

lifted and the rear wheels on the

ground. Before towing, make sure that

the parking brake is released.

2) From the rear, with the rear wheels

lifted and the front wheels on the

ground, provided the steering and

drivetrain are in operational condition.

Before towing, make sure that transaxle

is in neutral, the steering wheel is

unlocked (vehicle without keyless push

start system - the ignition key should be

in the “ACC” position) (vehicle with key-

less push start system - the ignition

mode is “ACC”), and the steering wheel

is secured with a clamping device

designed for towing service.

If the Starter Does Not

Operate

1) Try turning the ignition switch to the

“START” position or try pressing the

engine switch to change the ignition

mode to “START” with the headlights

turned on to determine the battery con-

dition. If the headlights go excessively

dim or go off, it usually means that

either the battery is flat or the battery

terminal contact is poor. Recharge the

battery or correct battery terminal con-

tact as necessary.

2) If the headlights remain bright, check

the fuses. If the reason for failure of the

starter is not obvious, there may be a

major electrical problem. Have the vehi-

cle inspected by your authorised Maruti

Suzuki workshop.

If the Engine is Flooded

If the engine is flooded with fuel, it may be

hard to start. If this happens, press the

accelerator pedal all the way to the floor

and hold it there while cranking the engine.

• For petrol engine model, do not operate

the starter motor for more than 12 sec-

onds.

• For diesel engine model, do not operate

the starter motor for more than 30 sec-

onds.

NOTE:

If the engine refuses to start, the starter

motor automatically stops after a certain

period of time. After the starter motor has

automatically stopped or there is anything

abnormal in the engine starting system,

the starter motor runs only while the

engine switch is pressed/ignition switch is

in “on” position.

NOTICE

The steering column is not strong

enough to withstand shocks trans-

mitted from the front wheels during

towing. Always unlock the steering

wheel before towing.
