INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Fuel Filter (Diesel engine)
If the fuel filter warning light comes on
when driving, there is a possibility that
water is in the fuel filter. Drain water as
soon as possible. Have your vehicle
inspected by an authorised Maruti Suzuki
workshop.
Brakes
Brake Fluid
68PH00713
Check the brake fluid level by looking at
the reservoir in the engine compartment.
Check that the fluid level is between the
“MAX” and “MIN” lines. If the brake fluid
level is near the “MIN” line, fill it up to the
“MAX” line with SAE J1703 or Maruti Gen-
uine Brake Fluid (MGBF) or DOT3 brake
fluid.
WARNING
Failure to follow the guidelines below
can result in personal injury or seri-
ous damage to the brake system.
• If the brake fluid in the reservoir
drops below a certain level, the
brake warning light on the instru-
ment panel will come on (the
engine must be running with the
parking brake fully disengaged).
Should the light come on, immedi-
ately ask your authorised Maruti
Suzuki workshop to inspect the
brake system.
• A rapid fluid loss indicates a leak in
the brake system which should be
inspected by your authorised
Maruti Suzuki workshop immedi-
ately.
• Do not use any fluid other than SAE
J1703 or DOT3 brake fluid. Do not
use reclaimed fluid or fluid that has
been stored in old or open contain-
ers. It is essential that foreign parti-
cles and other liquids are kept out
of the brake fluid reservoir.
CAUTION
Brake fluid can harm your eyes and
damage painted surfaces. Use cau-
tion when refilling the reservoir.
