(2)

EXAMPLE

WARNING

• Never attempt to jump-start your

vehicle if the battery appears to be

frozen. Batteries in this condition

may explode.

• When making jump lead connec-

tions, check that your hands and

the jump leads remain clear from

pulleys, belts or fans.

• Batteries produce flammable

hydrogen gas. Keep flames and

sparks away from the battery or an

explosion may occur. Never smoke

when working near the battery.

• If the booster battery you use for

jump-starting is installed in another

vehicle, check that the two vehicles

are not touching each other.

• If your battery discharges repeat-

edly, for no apparent reason, have

your vehicle inspected by an

authorised Maruti Suzuki work-

shop.

• To avoid harm to yourself or dam-

age to your vehicle or battery, fol-

low the jump-starting instructions

below.

If you are in doubt, call for qualified

road service.

8-7

EMERGENCY SERVICE

1) Use only a 12-volt battery to jump-start

your vehicle. Position the good 12-volt

battery close to your vehicle so that the

jump leads will reach both batteries.

When using a battery installed on

another vehicle, check that two vehicles

do not touch each other. Set the park-

ing brakes fully on both vehicles.

2) Turn off all vehicle accessories, except

those necessary for safety reasons (for

example, headlights or hazard lights).

54P000804

3) Connect jump leads as follows:

1. Connect one end of the first jump

lead to the positive (+) terminal of

the flat battery (1).

2. Connect the other end to the positive

(+) terminal of the booster battery

(2).

3. Connect one end of the second jump

lead to the negative (–) terminal of

the booster battery (2).

4. Make the final connection to an

unpainted, heavy metal part (i.e.

engine mount bracket (3)) of the

engine of the vehicle with the flat

battery (1).

4) If the booster battery you are using is

fitted to another vehicle, start the

engine of the vehicle with the booster

battery. Run the engine at moderate

speed.

5) Start the engine of the vehicle with the

flat battery.

6) Remove the jump leads in the exact

reverse order in which you connected

them.

NOTICE

Your vehicle should not be started by

pushing or towing. This starting

method could result in permanent

damage to the catalytic converter.

Use jump leads to start a vehicle with

a weak or flat battery.

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.

EMERGENCY SERVICE

Towing

If you need to have your vehicle towed,

contact a professional service. Your dealer

can provide you with detailed towing

instructions.

2-wheel drive (2WD) manual

transaxle or Auto Gear Shift

Manual transaxle vehicles or Auto Gear

Shift 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, check 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, check that transaxle is in

neutral, the steering wheel is unlocked

(vehicle without keyless push start sys-

tem - the ignition key should be in

“ACC” position) (vehicle with keyless

push start system - the ignition mode is

ACC), and the steering wheel is

secured with a clamping device

designed for towing service.

NOTICE

Observe the following instructions

when towing your vehicle.

• To help avoid damage to your vehi-

cle during towing, proper equip-

ment and towing procedures must

be used.

• Using the frame hook, tow your

vehicle on paved roads for short

distances at low speed.

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.

NOTICE

After shifting the Auto Gear Shift

gearshift lever to the “N” position,

always check the gear position indi-

cator in the instrument cluster shows

the “N” position to make sure that the

transaxle is disengaged.

If the transaxle cannot be put in neu-

tral, turn the key from the “LOCK” to

the “ON” position or press the engine

switch to change the ignition mode to

ON, and move the Auto Gear Shift

gearshift lever from “N” to “D”, “M”

or “R”, then back to “N” again. Then

turn the key from the “ON” to the

“LOCK” position or press the engine

switch to change the ignition mode to

LOCK (OFF). These procedures may

help put the transaxle in neutral. If

the transaxle still cannot be put in

neutral, you cannot tow the vehicle

without using a towing dolly.

EMERGENCY SERVICE

Engine trouble:

Starter does not operate

1) Try turning the ignition switch to

“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.

Engine trouble: Flooded

engine

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:

For keyless push start, if the engine

refuses to start, the starter motor automati-

cally stops after a certain period of time.

After the starter motor has automatically

stopped or if there is anything abnormal in

the engine starting system, the starter

motor runs only while the engine switch is

held pressed.

Engine trouble: Overheating

The engine could overheat temporarily

under severe driving conditions. If the high

engine coolant temperature warning light

comes on as overheating during driving:

1) Turn off the air conditioner, if equipped.

2) Take the vehicle to a safe place and

park.

3) Let the engine run at the normal idle

speed for a few minutes until the high

engine coolant temperature warning

light goes off.

WARNING

If you see or hear escaping steam,

stop the vehicle in a safe place and

immediately turn off the engine to

cool it. Do not open the hood when

steam is present. When the steam

can no longer be seen or heard, open

the hood to see if the coolant is still

boiling. If it is, you must wait until it

stops boiling before you proceed.

8-10

EMERGENCY SERVICE

If the high engine coolant temperature

warning light does not go off:

1) Turn off the engine and check that the

water pump belt and pulleys are not

damaged or slipping. If any abnormality

is found, correct it.

2) Check the coolant level in the reservoir.

If it is found to be lower than “LOW”

line, check radiator, water pump, radia-

tor hoses and heater hoses for leakage.

If leakage that may cause overheating

is found, do not run the engine until

these problems have been corrected.

3) If leakage is not found, carefully add

coolant to the reservoir and then the

radiator, if necessary. (Refer to “Engine

coolant” in the “INSPECTION AND

MAINTENANCE” section).

NOTE:

If engine overheats and you are not sure

what to do, contact your authorised Maruti

Suzuki workshop.

EXAMPLE

WARNING

• It is hazardous to remove the radia-

tor cap (or degassing tank cap for a

diesel engine) when the water tem-

perature is high, because scalding

fluid and steam may be blown out

under pressure. The cap should

only be taken off when the coolant

temperature has lowered.

• To help prevent personal injury,

keep hands, tools and clothing

away from the engine cooling fan

and air-conditioner fan (if

equipped). These electric fans can

automatically turn on without warn-

ing.
