Windshield washer fluid

68PH00756

Check that there is washer fluid in the tank.

Refill it if necessary. Use a good quality

windshield washer fluid, diluted with water

as necessary.

Air conditioning system

If you do not use the air conditioner for a

long period, such as during winter, it may

not give the best performance when you

start using it again. To help maintain opti-

mum performance and durability of your air

conditioner, it needs to be run periodically.

Operate the air conditioner at least once a

month for one minute with the engine

idling. This circulates the refrigerant and oil

and helps protect the internal components.

Replacement of the Air Conditioner

Filter (if equipped)

Since special procedures are required, we

recommend you take your vehicle to your

authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop for the

air conditioner filter replacement.

WARNING

Do not use anti-freeze solution in the

windshield washer reservoir. This

can severely impair visibility when

sprayed on the windshield, and also

damage your vehicle’s paint.

NOTICE

Damage may result if the washer

motor is operated with no fluid in the

washer tank.
