OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE

Caution when stopping the engine with

turbocharger

When stopping the engine after climbing or

high speed driving, let the engine idle for

about one minute or more (if it is not pro-

hibited) to cool down the turbocharger and

engine oil. This is to prevent the engine oil

from over-deteriorating. Deteriorated

engine oil will damage the bearings of the

turbocharger.

Restarting diesel engine after fuel-

empty stop

If the engine stops and the low fuel warn-

ing light and the malfunction indicator light

come on, use the following procedure:

1) Fill the fuel tank.

2) Hold the ignition key in “ON” position for

5-10 seconds to feed fuel.

3) Perform above engine starting proce-

dure to start the engine.

If the malfunction indicator light still comes

on after the engine started, there may be

some problem with the engine. Ask your

authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop to

have the engine inspected.

NOTE:

The engine of manual transaxle vehicle will

not start unless the clutch pedal is

depressed.

help you. Refer to “Information Display”

in the “BEFORE DRIVING” section for

details.

• You should turn off such loads as the

headlights and air conditioning system to

facilitate starting of the engine.

• Even if you fail to start the engine, the

starter motor will stop turning automati-

cally after a short time. After the starter

motor has stopped or if there is some

problem with the system, the starter

motor will rotate only while the engine

switch is being pressed.

Stopping the engine

• Depress the engine switch to stop the

engine after the vehicle stopped com-

pletely.

• In case of emergency, you can stop the

engine by quickly pushing the engine

switch more than 3 times, or pushing

and holding the engine switch more than

2 seconds while the vehicle in motion.

NOTE:

Except in emergency, do not stop the

engine while the vehicle is in motion.

The steering and braking operation will

require more efforts when the engine is

stopped.

Refer to “Braking” in this section.

• If the vehicle is stopped & stays as it is

for while after the engine was stopped

unexpectedly or was raced before stop-

ping, a clicking sound may be heard

from around the engine when the engine

is restarted. This is not a malfunction. In

such cases, always let the engine idle

before stopping it.

Starting a Cold and Warm Engine

(For Petrol Engine Model)

With your foot off the accelerator pedal,

crank the engine by pressing the engine

switch to change the ignition mode to

“START”.

After pressing the engine switch to change

the ignition mode to “START”, the starter

cranks the engine for about 12 seconds

before it can start the engine. If the engine

fails to start at the first attempt, wait about

15 seconds, then try again while keeping

the engine switch pressed while pressing

down the accelerator pedal to 1/3 of its

travel. Release the accelerator pedal when

the engine starts.

If the engine still does not start, try holding

the accelerator pedal all the way to the

floor while cranking. This should clear the

engine if it is flooded.

If you are unable to start the engine using

this procedure, consult your authorised

Maruti Suzuki workshop.

(For Diesel Engine Model)

Cold engine

Depress the clutch and brake pedals fully

and press the engine switch to crank the

engine. If the glow plug indicator light

comes on, the engine will start automati-

cally after the glow plug indicator light goes

off or 10 seconds pass.

Warm engine

Crank the engine by pressing the engine

switch to change the ignition mode to

“START”.

Caution when stopping the engine with

turbocharger

When stopping the engine after climbing or

high speed driving, let the engine idle for

about one minute or more (if it is not pro-

hibited) to cool down the turbocharger and

engine oil. This is to prevent the engine oil

from over-deteriorating. Deteriorated

engine oil will damage the bearings of the

turbocharger.

NOTICE

Do not crank the engine for more

than 12 seconds at a time.

If the engine doesn’t start on the first

try, wait about 15 seconds before try-

ing again.

NOTICE

Do not crank the engine for more

than 30 seconds at a time.

If the engine doesn’t start on the first

try, wait about 15 seconds before try-

ing again.

you should be able to

select ignition modes & start the

engine.

NOTE:

• If you still cannot start the engine after

several attempts using the above

method, there may be a problem else-

where, such as a low battery. Contact

your authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop

for inspection.

• The immobilizer/keyless push start sys-

tem warning light will come on for about

5 seconds while the master warning indi-

cator light is blinking. In addition, the

information display will show a certain

message during this time. Refer to

“Information Display” in the “BEFORE

DRIVING” section for details.

• You may customize the system to cause

the interior buzzer to sound once for the

“remote controller out of sensing range”

warning. Please contact an authorised

Maruti Suzuki workshop for the customi-

zation.

• If the battery of the remote controller is

about to be completely discharged, a

message warning will appear on the

information display when the ignition

mode is changed to “ON” by pressing

the engine switch. For details on replac-

ing the battery, refer to the “Keyless

Push Start System Remote Controller” in

the “BEFORE DRIVING” section.

Returning the ignition mode to

“LOCK” (OFF)

NOTE:

Certain problems like a fault in engine sys-

tem may prevent the engine switch from

going back to the “LOCK” (OFF) mode. If

this happens, have the vehicle inspected

by an authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop

after doing the following:

• Lock the doors using the key to prevent

theft. (The request switches and the key-

less push start system remote controller

cannot be used to lock them.)

• Disconnect the negative cable from the

battery to prevent discharge.

“LOCK” (OFF) mode reminder buzzer

If the driver’s door is opened without

returning the ignition mode to “LOCK”

(OFF) by pressing the engine switch, a

buzzer sounds to warn you of this state.

• If you open the driver’s door after press-

ing the engine switch to change the igni-

tion mode to “ACC”, the interior buzzer

beeps intermittently.

• The buzzer will stop sounding if you then

push the engine switch twice, thus bring-

ing it back the ignition mode to “LOCK”

(OFF).

NOTE:

Whenever you leave the vehicle, make

sure you have returned the ignition mode

to “LOCK” (OFF) using the engine switch

and then lock the doors. Without returning

the ignition mode to “LOCK” (OFF), you

cannot use a request switch or keyless

push start system remote controller to lock

the doors.

Steering lock warning buzzer

If the steering lock fails to engage due to a

fault in the system when the ignition mode

is turned to “LOCK” (OFF) by pressing the

engine switch and then any door (including

the tailgate) is opened or closed, the inte-

rior buzzer will warn you of this condition

with repeated short beeps. If this happens,

have the vehicle inspected by an autho-

rised Maruti Suzuki workshop.

Starting off

To start off, depress the clutch pedal all the

way to the floor and shift into 1st gear.

After releasing the parking brake, gradually

release the clutch. When you hear a

change in the engine’s sound, slowly press

the accelerator while continuing to gradu-

ally release the clutch.

Shifting

All forward gears are synchronized, which

provides for quiet, and easy shifting.

Always depress the clutch pedal all the

way to the floor before shifting gears. Keep

the engine speed to a value so that it does

not rise into the red zone of the tachome-

ter.
