If the belt is too loose, insufficient battery

charging, engine overheating, poor power

steering, poor air conditioning, or exces-

sive belt wear can result. When you press

the belt with your thumb midway between

the pulleys, there should be a deflection

according to the following chart.

The belts should also be examined to

ensure that they are not damaged.

If you need to replace or adjust the belt

have it done by your authorised Maruti

Suzuki workshop.

(1) MIN

(2) MAX

(3) Engine oil dipstick

It is important to keep the engine oil at the

correct level for proper lubrication of your

vehicle’s engine. Check the oil level with

the vehicle on a level surface. The oil level

indication may be inaccurate if the vehicle

is on a slope. The oil level should be

checked either before starting the engine

or at least 5 minutes after stopping the

engine.

The handle of the engine oil dipstick is col-

ored yellow for easy identification.

Pull out the oil dipstick, wipe oil off with a

clean cloth, insert the dipstick all the way

into the engine, then remove it again. The

oil on the stick should be between the

upper and lower limits shown on the stick.

If the oil level indication is near the lower

limit, add enough oil to raise the level to

the upper limit.

NOTICE

Failure to check the oil level regularly

could lead to serious engine trouble

due to insufficient oil.

NOTICE

(For Diesel Engine Model)

Do not top up the oil over the MAX

limit. Too much oil causes serious

engine trouble.

INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE

Refilling

68PH00762

Remove the oil filler cap and pour oil slowly

through the filler hole to bring the oil level

to the upper limit on the dipstick. Be careful

not to overfill. Too much oil is almost as

bad as too little oil. After refilling, start the

engine and allow it to idle for about a min-

ute. Stop the engine, wait about 5 minutes

and check the oil level again.

Changing Engine Oil and Filter

Drain the engine oil while the engine is still

warm.

68PH00704

1) Remove the oil filler cap.

2) Place a drain pan under the drain plug.

3) Using a wrench, remove the drain plug

and drain out the engine oil.

make sure it is of equivalent quality

and follow the manufacturer’s

instructions.

or drain plug indicate incorrect

installation or gasket damage. If

you find any leaks or are not sure

that the filter has been properly

tightened, have the vehicle
