    FUEL RECOMMENDATION

    Page 17

    Fuel Recommendation ........................................................ 1-1

    |1| | |---|---|

    FUEL RECOMMENDATION Fuel Recommendation

    should switch back to unleaded petrol containing no alcohol.

    You must use unleaded petrol with an octane number (RON) of 91 or higher.

    |CAUTION| |---| |The fuel tank has an air space to allow for fuel expansion in hot weather. If you continue to add fuel after the filler nozzle has automatically shut off or an initial blowback occurs, the air chamber will become full. Exposure to heat when fully fuelled in this manner will result in leakage due to fuel expansion. To prevent such fuel leakage, stop filling after the filler nozzle has automatically shut off, or when using an alternative non-automatic system, initial vent blowback occurs.|

    Petrol/Ethanol blends Blends of unleaded petrol and ethanol (grain alcohol), also known as gasohol, are commercially available in some areas. Blends of this type may be used in your vehicle if they are no more than 10% ethanol. Make sure this petrol-ethanol blend has octane ratings no lower than those recommended for petrol. Petrol/Methanol blends Blends of unleaded petrol and methanol (wood alcohol) are also commercially available in some areas. DO NOT USE fuels containing more than 5% methanol under any circumstances. Fuel system damage or vehicle performance problems resulting from the use of such fuels are not the responsibility of MARUTI SUZUKI and may not be covered under the New Vehicle Warranty. Fuels containing 5% or less methanol may be suitable for use in your vehicle if they contain cosolvents and corrosion inhibitors.

    |CAUTION| |---| |Be careful not to spill fuel containing alcohol while refueling. If fuel is spilled on the vehicle body, wipe it up immediately. Fuels containing alcohol can cause paint damage, which is not covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.|

    NOTE: If you are not satisfied with the driveability or fuel economy of your vehicle when you are using a petrol/alcohol blend, you

    Keys

    |EXAMPLE

    | |---|

    51KM024

    Your vehicle comes with a pair of keys. The key(s) may or may not be equipped with a transmitter depending on model variant. Keep the spare key in a safe place. One key can open all of the locks on the vehicle.

    The key identification number is stamped on a metal tag provided with the keys or on the keys. Keep the tag in a safe place. If you lose your keys, you will need this number to have new keys made. Write the number below for your future reference.

    |KEY NUMBER:| |---|

    Immobilizer System This system is designed to help prevent vehicle theft by electronically disabling the engine starting system. The engine can be started only with your vehicle’s original immobilizer ignition key which has an electronic identification code programmed into it. The key communicates the identification code to the vehicle when the key is turned to the “ON” position. If you need to make spare keys, contact your MARUTI SUZUKI authorised workshop. The vehicle must be programmed with the correct identification code for the spare keys. A key made by an ordinary locksmith will not work.

    |![image 1](WagonR_New_images/imageFile1.png)| |---|

    54G003

    If the immobilizer system light (1) blinks when the ignition switch is in the “ON” position, there may be something wrong with your key or with the immobilizer system. Ask your MARUTI SUZUKI authorised workshop to inspect the system.

    NOTE:

  • • If you lose your immobilizer ignition key, contact your MARUTI SUZUKI authorised workshop as soon as possible to have the lost one deactivated, then have the new key made by them.
  • • If you own other vehicles with immobilizer keys, keep those keys away from the ignition switch when using your MARUTI SUZUKI, or the engine may not be started because they may interfere with your MARUTI SUZUKI’s immobilizer system.
  • • If you attach any metal objects to the immobilizer key, it may not start the engine.
  • Page 19

    |NOTICE| |---| |The immobilizer key is a sensitive electronic instrument. To avoid damaging the immobilizer key:

    • Do not expose it to impacts, moisture or high temperature such as on the dashboard under direct sunlight.
    • Keep the immobilizer key away from magnetic objects.
    |

    Ignition Key Reminder (if equipped) A buzzer sounds intermittently to remind you to remove the ignition key if it is in the ignition switch when the driver’s door is opened.

    |WARNING

    | |---| |(Continued)

    • Seat belts should never be worn with the straps twisted and should be adjusted as tightly as is comfortable to provide the protection for which they have been designed. A slack belt will provide less protection than one which is snug.
    • Make sure that each seat belt buckle is inserted into the proper buckle catch. It is possible to cross the buckles in the rear seat.


    (Continued)|

    |WARNING

    | |---| |(Continued)

    • Pregnant women should use seat belts, although specific recommendations about driving should be made by the woman’s medical advisor. Remember that the lap portion of the belt should be worn as low as possible across the hips, as shown in the diagram.
    • Do not wear your seat belt over hard or breakable objects in your pockets or on your clothing. If an accident occurs, objects such as glasses, pens, etc. under the seat belt can cause injury.


    (Continued)|

    |WARNING

    | |---| |(Continued)

    • Never use the same seat belt on more than one occupant and never attach a seat belt over an infant or child being held on an occupant’s lap. Such seat belt use could cause serious injury in the event of an accident.
    • Periodically inspect seat belt assemblies for excessive wear and damage. Seat belts should be replaced if webbing becomes frayed, contaminated, or damaged in any way. It is essential to replace the entire seat belt assembly after it has been worn in a severe impact, even if damage to the assembly is not obvious.
    • Children age 12 and under should ride properly restrained in the rear seat.
    • Infants and small children should never be transported unless they are properly restrained. Restraint systems for infants and small children can be purchased locally and should be used. Make sure that the system you purchase meets applicable safety standards. Read and follow all the directions provided by the manufacturer.

    MARUTI SUZUKI highly recommends that you use a child restraint system to restrain infants and small children. Many different

    types of child restraint systems are available; make sure that the restraint system you select meets applicable safety standards.

    All child restraint systems are designed to be secured on vehicle seats by either seat belts (lap belts or the lap portion of lapshoulder belts). Whenever possible, MARUTI SUZUKI recommends that child restraint systems be installed on the rear seat. According to accident statistics, children are safer when properly restrained in rear seating positions than in front seating positions. If you must use a front-facing child restraint in the front passenger’s seat, adjust the passenger’s seat as far back as possible.

    NOTE: Observe any statutory regulation about child restraints.

    67LM2008

    |WARNING

    | |---| |This section of the owner’s manual describes your Vehicle’s SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER SYSTEM. Please read and follow ALL these instructions carefully to minimize your risk of severe injury or death.|

    To determine if your vehicle is equipped with a seat belt pretensioner system at the front seating positions, check the label on the front seat belt at the bottom part. If the letters “p” and/or “PRE” appear as illustrated, your vehicle is equipped with the seat belt pretensioner system. You can use the pretensioner seat belts in the same manner as ordinary seat belts. Read this section and the “Supplemental Restraint System (air bags)” section to learn more about the pretensioner system.

    Page 47

    The seat belt pretensioner system works with the SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (Air Bags). The crash sensors and the electronic controller of the air bag system also control the seat belt pretensioners. The pretensioners are activated in the event of a frontal crash which is severe enough to trigger the air bags.

    For precautions and general information including servicing the pretensioner system, refer to the “Supplemental Restraint System (air bags)” section in addition to this “Seat Belt Pretensioner System” section, and follow all those precautions.

    The pretensioner is located in each front seat belt retractor. The pretensioner tightens the seat belt so the belt fits the occupant’s body more snugly in the event of a frontal crash. The retractors will remain locked after the pretensioners are activated. Upon activation, some noise will occur and

    some smoke may be released. These conditions are not harmful and do not indicate a fire in the vehicle.

    The driver and all passengers must be properly restrained by wearing seat belts at all times, whether or not a pretensioner is equipped at their seating position, to minimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash.

    Sit fully back in the seat; sit up straight; do not lean forward or sideways. Adjust the belt so the lap portion of the belt is worn low across the pelvis, not across the waist. Please refer to the “Seat Adjustment” section and the instructions and precautions about the seat belts in this “Seat Belts and Child Restraint Systems” section for details on proper seat and seat belt adjustments.

    Please note that the pretensioners along with the air bags will activate in severe frontal collisions. They are not designed to activate in rear impacts, side impacts, rollovers, or minor frontal collisions. The pretensioners can be activated only once. If the pretensioners are activated (that is, if the air bags are activated), have the pretensioner system serviced by an authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop as soon as possible. If the “AIR BAG” light on the instrument cluster does not blink or come on briefly when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position stays on for more than 10 seconds, or comes on while driving, the

    pretensioner system or the air bag system may not work properly. Have both systems inspected by an authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop as soon as possible.

    Service on or around the pretensioner system components or wiring must be performed only by an authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop who is specially trained. Improper service could result in unintended activation of pretensioners or could render the pretensioner inoperative. Either of these two conditions may result in personal injury.

    To prevent damage or unintended activation of the pretensioners, be sure the battery is disconnected and the ignition switch has been in the “LOCK” position for at least 90 seconds before performing any electrical service work on your vehicle.

    Do not touch pretensioner system components or wiring. The wires are wrapped with yellow tape or yellow tubing, and the couplers are yellow. When scrapping your Vehicle, ask your authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop body repair shop, or scrap yard for assistance.

  • | | |---|

    Front air bags are not designed to inflate in rear impacts, side impacts, rollovers or minor frontal collisions, since they would offer no protection in those types of accidents. Remember, since an air bag deploys only one time during an accident, seat belts are needed to restrain occupants from further movements during the accident.

    Therefore, an air bag is NOT a substitute for seat belts. To maximize your protection, ALWAYS WEAR YOUR SEAT BELTS. Be aware that no system can prevent all possible injuries that may occur in an accident.

    |WARNING

    | |---| |An air bag supplements, or adds to, the crash protection offered by seat belts. The driver and all passengers must be properly restrained by wearing seat belts at all times, whether or not an air bag is mounted at their seating position, to minimize the risk of severe injury or death in the event of a crash.|

    |WARNING

    | |---| |If the AIR BAG light in the instrument cluster ever comes on and stays on, it means that something may be wrong with the air bag system. If this ever happens, have the vehicle serviced immediately, because the air bags may not offer the protection for which they were designed.|

    ######## How the system works

    In a frontal collision, the crash sensors will detect rapid deceleration, and if the controller judges that the deceleration represents a severe frontal crash, the controller will trigger the inflators. The inflators inflate the air bags with nitrogen or argon gas. The inflated air bags provide a cushion for your head and upper body. The air bag inflates and deflates so quickly that you may not even realize that it has activated. The air bag will neither hinder your view nor make it harder to exit the vehicle.

    Air bags must inflate quickly and forcefully in order to reduce the chance of serious or

    fatal injuries. However, an unavoidable consequence of the quick inflation is that the air bag may irritate bare skin, such as the facial area. Also, upon inflation, a loud noise will occur and some powder and smoke will be released. These conditions are not harmful and do not indicate a fire in the vehicle. Be aware, however, that some air bag components may be hot for a while after inflation.

    A seat belt helps keep you in the proper position for maximum protection when an air bag inflates. Adjust your seat as far back as possible while still maintaining control of the vehicle. Sit fully back in your seat; sit up straight; do not lean over the steering wheel. Please refer to the “Front Seat” section and the “Seat Belts and Child Restraint Systems” section in this section for details on proper seat and seat belt adjustments.

    Page 54

    |![image 24](WagonR_New_images/imageFile24.png)| |---|

    65D610

    |WARNING

    | |---| |• The driver should not lean over the steering wheel. In these situations, the out-of-position occupant would be too close to an inflating air bag, and may suffer severe injury.
    • Do not attach any objects to, or place any objects over, the steering wheel. Do not place any objects between the air bag and the driver. These objects may interfere with air bag operation or may be propelled by the air bag in the event of a crash. Either of these conditions may cause severe injury.
    |

    Note that even though your vehicle may be moderately damaged in a frontal collision, the collision may not have been severe enough to trigger the air bags to inflate. If your car sustains ANY front-end damage, have the air bag system inspected by an MARUTI SUZUKI authorised workshop to ensure it is in proper working order.

    Your vehicle is equipped with a diagnostic module which records information about the air bag system if the air bags deploy in a crash. The module records information about overall system status, which sensors activated the deployment, and for a certain vehicle only, whether the driver’s seat belt was in use.

    ######## Servicing the air bag system

    If the air bags inflate, have the air bags and related components replaced by an authorized MARUTI SUZUKI dealer as soon as possible.

    If your vehicle ever gets in deep water and the driver’s floor is submerged, the air bag controller could be damaged. If it does, have the air bag system inspected by the MARUTI SUZUKI authorised workshop as soon as possible.

    Special procedures are required for servicing or replacing an air bag. For that reason, only an MARUTI SUZUKI authorised workshop should be allowed to service or replace your air bags. Please remind anyone who services your MARUTI SUZUKI that it has air bags.

    Service on or around air bag components or wiring must be performed only by an MARUTI SUZUKI authorised workshop. Improper service could result in unintended air bag deployment or could render the air bag inoperative. Either of these two conditions may result in severe injury.

    To prevent damage or unintended inflation of the air bag system, be sure the battery is disconnected and the ignition switch has been in the “LOCK” position for at least 90 seconds before performing any electrical service work on your MARUTI SUZUKI. Do not touch air bag system components or wires. The wires are wrapped with yellow

    tape or yellow tubing, and the couplers are yellow for easy identification.

    Scrapping a car that has an uninflated air bag can be hazardous. Ask your dealer, body repair shop or scrap yard for help with disposal.

    Three different types of operations exist depending on the vehicle’s specification.

  • 1) The light comes on briefly when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position.
  • 2) The light comes on when the parking brake is engaged with the ignition switch in the “ON” position.
  • 3) The light comes on when under either or both of above two conditions.
  • Page 56

    The light also comes on when the fluid in the brake fluid reservoir falls below the specified level.

    The light should go out after starting the engine and fully releasing the parking brake, if the fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir is adequate.

    The light also comes on together with the ABS warning light when the rear brake force control function (proportioning valve function) of the ABS system fails.

    If the brake system warning light comes on while you are driving the vehicle, it may mean that there is something wrong with the vehicle’s brake system. If this happens, you should:

  • 1) Pull off the road and stop carefully.
  • 2) Test the brakes by carefully starting and stopping at the side of the road.
  • |WARNING

    | |---| |Remember that stopping distance may be longer, you may have to push harder on the pedal, and the pedal may go down farther than normal.|

  • – If you determine that it is safe, drive carefully at low speed to the nearest dealer for repairs, or
  • – Have the vehicle towed to the nearest
  • dealer for repairs.

    |WARNING

    | |---| |If any of the following conditions occur, you should immediately ask your MARUTI SUZUKI authorised workshop to inspect the brake system.

    • If the brake system warning light does not go out after the engine has been started and the parking brake has been fully released.
    • If the brake system warning light does not come on when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position.
    • If the brake system warning light comes on at any time during vehicle operation.

    Page 58

    65D529

    When the ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, the light comes on briefly so you can check that the light is working. If the light stays on, or comes on when driving, there may be something wrong with the ABS.

    63J031

    Your vehicle has a computer-controlled emission control system. A malfunction indicator light is provided on the instrument panel to indicate when it is necessary to have the emission control system serviced. The malfunction indicator light comes on when the ignition switch is turned to “ON” and goes out when the engine is started.

    If this happens:

  • 1) Pull off the road and stop carefully.
  • 2) Turn the ignition switch to “LOCK” and then start the engine again.
  • If the warning light comes on briefly then turns off, the system is normal. If the warning light still stays on, the system will be something wrong.

    If the malfunction indicator light comes on when the engine is running, there is a problem with the emission control system. Bring the vehicle to your MARUTI SUZUKI authorised workshop to have the problem corrected.

    If the light and the brake system warning light stay on, or come on simultaneously when driving, your ABS system is equipped with the rear brake force control function (proportioning valve function) and there may be something wrong with both the rear brake force control function and anti-lock function of the ABS system.

    |NOTICE| |---| |Continuing to drive the vehicle when the malfunction indicator light is on can cause permanent damage to the vehicle’s emission control system, and can affect fuel economy and driveability.|

    Once a month, or each time you fill your fuel tank, check the tire pressure using a tire pressure gauge. Also check the tire pressure of the spare tire.

    Engine Oil Consumption

    It is normal for the engine to consume some engine oil during normal vehicle operation.

    The amount of engine oil consumed depends on the viscosity of the oil, the quality of the oil and the conditions the vehicle is driven under. More oil is consumed during high-speed driving and when there is frequent acceleration and deceleration. Under high loads, your engine also will consume more oil. A new engine also consumes more oil, since its pistons, piston rings and cylinder walls have not yet become conditioned. New engines reach the normal level of oil

    consumption only after approximately 5000 km driving.

    Oil consumption: Max. 1.0 L per 1000km

    When judging the amount of oil consumption, note that the oil may become diluted and make it difficult to accurately judge the true oil level. As an example, if a vehicle is used for repeated short trips, and consumes a normal amount of oil, the dipstick may not show any drop in the oil level at all, even after 1000 km or more of driving. This is because the oil is gradually becoming diluted with fuel or moisture, making it appear that the oil level has not changed. You should also be aware that the diluting ingredients evaporate out when the vehicle is subsequently driven at high speeds, such as on an expressway, making it appear that oil is excessively consumed after high-speed driving.

    Pedal

    |(2)(1)

    (3)

    EXAMPLE| |---|

    ####### 80J2121 Clutch Pedal (1)

    The clutch pedal is used to disengage the drive to the wheels when starting the engine, stopping, or shifting the gearshift lever. Depressing the pedal disengages the clutch.

    |CAUTION| |---| |Do not drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal. It could result in excessive clutch wear, clutch damage, or unexpected loss of engine braking.|

    ####### Brake Pedal (2)

    Your MARUTI SUZUKI vehicle is equipped with front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. Depressing the brake pedal applies both sets of brakes.

    You may hear occasional brake squeal when you apply the brakes. This is a normal condition caused by environmental factors such as cold, wet, snow, etc.

    |WARNING

    | |---| |If brake squeal is excessive and occurs each time the brakes are applied, you should have the brakes checked by your authorised MARUTI SUZUKI workshop.|

    |WARNING

    | |---| |Do not “ride” the brakes by applying them continuously or resting your foot on the pedal. This will result in overheating of the brakes which could cause unpredictable braking action, longer stopping distances, or permanent brake damage.|

    Page 81

    ####### Accelerator Pedal (3)

    This pedal controls the speed of the engine. Depressing the accelerator pedal increases power output and speed.

    Starting the Engine Before Starting the Engine

    Downshifting maximum allowable speeds

    To avoid shock loads on the driveline, the downshifing speed should not exceed the following.

    |Downshifting|Km/h| |---|---| |2nd to 1st|10| |3rd to 2nd|37| |4th to 3rd|55| |5th to 4th|OK at all|

    *NOTE: You may not accelerate to the maximum allowable speed because of the driving situation and/or the vehicle condition.

    |NOTICE| |---|

    Page 83

    |When downshifting to a lower gear, make sure not to downshift at the speed faster than the maximum allowable speeds, or severe engine damage can result.|

    EXAMPLE

    67LH050

    Keep the engine speed so it does not get into the red zone of tachometer.

    |WARNING

    | |---| |• Reduce your speed and downshift to a lower gear before going down a long or steep hill. A lower gear will allow the engine to provide braking. Avoid riding the brakes or they may overheat, resulting in brake failure.
    • When driving on slippery roads, be sure to slow down before downshifting. Excessive and or sudden changes in engine speed may cause loss of traction, which could cause you to lose control.
    • Make sure that the vehicle is completely stationary before you shift into reverse.
    |

    CAUTION

  • • To help avoid clutch damage, do not use the clutch pedal as a footrest while driving or use the clutch to keep the vehicle stationary on a slope. Depress the clutch fully when shifting.
  • • When shifting or starting off, do not race the engine. Racing the engine can shorten engine life and affect smooth shifting.
  • ####### Auto Gear Shift

    Auto Gear Shift is a 5-speed forward/ reverse transaxle. Auto Gear Shift has the basic features of conventional manual transaxle, but clutch operation and transaxle gear shifting are controlled electronically.

    |NOTICE| |---| |Do not depress both the brake pedal and accelerator pedal simultaneously. This can cause damage or overheating to the clutch.|

    NOTE: When you open the driver’s door, the Auto Gear Shift systems run automatically and you may hear an operating noise. This sound does not indicate a malfunction.

  • This light will also come on if one of the gears cannot be engaged and the system is unable to re-try shifting when you shift the gearshift lever from “N” position to “D”, “M” or “R” position.

    ######## Starting the engine

    When starting the engine, always place the gearshift lever in the “N” position and depress the brake pedal firmly. The engine cannot be started unless the gearshift lever is in the “N” position and the brake pedal is depressed. If you parked vehicle with gear engaged on last time (if you can see “1” or “R”), shift into “N” (Neutral) and depress the brake pedal. Hold the brake pedal while starting the engine. You can hear buzzer in short time.

    | | |---|

    76MH0A056 Clutch operation

    You can select either the Drive (D) mode or the Manual (M) mode. Since this vehicle controls clutch operation electronically in either mode, you do not need to operate the clutch.

    ######## Creeping function

    Page 85

    This vehicle has a creeping function that helps the vehicle to start smoothly by engaging the clutch. When the gearshift lever is in any of the positions “D”, “M” or “R”, and you release your foot from the brake pedal, the vehicle starts slowly without depressing the accelerator pedal. The creeping function is disabled if you depress

    the brake pedal or pull up the parking brake lever.Creep is not possible in manual mode with 2nd gear engaged.

    NOTE: If the driver’s door is opened and/or the parking brake lever is engaged with the gear in the “M”, “D” or “R” position, the creeping function will not operate.

    ######## Parking and Stopping the vehicle

    Auto Gear Shift does not have a parking position. Park the vehicle with a gear engaged. Make sure that the gearshift lever is “D”, “M”, or “R”. Also, check the instrument cluster to make sure that the transaxle is engaged in “1” or “R” position.

    |NOTICE| |---| |A buzzer will sound continuously if the vehicle is operated with the gearshift lever in-between of each shift positions. The vehicle will become inoperative if you continue to operate the vehicle with the gearshift lever inbetween shift positions.|

    ######## Drive (D) mode

    When the Drive (D) mode is activated, the most appropriate gear position is automatically selected upon operation of the accelerator pedal and variation of vehicle speed.

    ######## Normal driving:

  • 1) Start the engine as instructed in “Starting the engine” in this section.
  • 2) With your foot on the brake pedal, shift the gearshift lever to the “D” position. When the gearshift lever is shifted to the “D” position, the gear will be shifted to 1st.
  • | | |---|

    76MH0A057

    NOTE: If 1st gear cannot be engaged even though the gearshift lever has been shifted from the “N” to the “D” position, the system will re-try shifting automatically. This will take some time, noise may be heard from the gears, and shifting gear shock may occur. However, they do not indicate a malfunction.

    • The “N” indicator will flash, the depress brake pedal indicator will come on and a warning buzzer (long pulse sound) will sound if any of the following cases occur;

  • – If you shift the gearshift lever from the “N” to the “D” position without depressing the brake pedal
  • – If the system is unable to re-try shifting
  • Page 86

    You should depress the brake pedal and shift the gearshift lever to “N” position, then shift to “D” again.

  • 3) Release the parking brake and brake pedal.
  • 4) Depress the accelerator pedal slowly.
  • |WARNING

    | |---| |• While driving the vehicle, do not shift the gearshift lever to the “N” position. The engine brake may not work and you may get involved in an unexpected accident. If you return the gearshift lever from “N” to “D” because of unintended shifting, the gear position will be shifted according to the current vehicle speed.
    • Always keep your foot on the brake pedal while stopped with the engine running. This operation prevents the vehicle from moving due to unintended activation of the creeping function.
    |

    |NOTICE| |---| |If the gearshift lever cannot shift into any position, or the gear is changed to “N” position automatically when the vehicle speed becomes less than 10 km/h there may be a systematic malfunction. In this case, ask your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer to inspect the Auto Gear Shift system as soon as possible.|

    |NOTICE| |---| |Do not operate the system as described below. The life cycle of the clutch may be reduced.

    • Using the accelerator pedal to hold the vehicle on an uphill slope with the gearshift lever in the “D” or “M” position. If you perform this operation for a certain period of time, a warning buzzer will sound.
    • Shifting the gearshift lever to the “D”, “M” or “R” position while racing the engine.
    • Driving at low speed using a high gear.
    • Holding the vehicle on an uphill slope using the creeping function. If you perform this operation for a certain period of time, a warning buzzer will sound.

    ######## Downhill

    Page 87

  • 1) Depress the brake pedal and shift the gearshift lever to the “D” position. Make sure that the gear is in 1st by checking the gear position indicator.
  • 2) Release the brake pedal and depress the accelerator pedal slowly. Even if the accelerator pedal is not depressed, the clutch will be engaged when the vehicle speed increases.
  • Using engine braking: When driving on a downhill slope, downshifting is recommended. So you can use engine braking. By placing the gearshift lever in the “M” position, the Manual (M) mode is selected, and you can shift to a lower gear manually. For details of downshift operation, refer to “Upshift and downshift” in the “Manual (M) mode”.

    ######## Manual (M) mode

    The gears are not shifted automatically. To shift the transaxle, the driver must operate the gearshift lever to the “+” or “–” direction. As for conventional manual transaxle vehicles, releasing the accelerator pedal a little may help the transaxle to shift smoothly.

    The gear position is displayed on the gear position indicator. The gear position indicator shows the transaxle gear position. Before starting off, always check the gear position indicator to make sure that the transaxle is engaged in 1st or reverse, then depress the accelerator pedal. It is possible to start vehicle in 2nd gear using manual mode, from stop condition.

    NOTE:

  • • Always use 1st gear while starting off on an uphill slope, otherwise you can damage the clutch.
  • • To downshift smoothly, the engine runs fast in some cases. This is done intentionally by the system and is not a malfunction.
  • • When driving down a hill, downshift and use the engine braking appropriately. If necessary, continuous downshifting is possible. However, if downshifting more than 3 steps, gear shifting will take more time.
  • • When the gear is shifting, a noise can be heard in some case. This is not a malfunction.
  • |WARNING

    | |---| |• Be careful when accelerating, upshifting, downshifting or braking on a slippery surface. Sudden acceleration or engine braking could cause the vehicle to spin or skid.While starting off on a slippery or snowy roads, please use 2nd gear (if required).
    • To drive down a long or steep hill, reduce your speed and downshift. Remember, if you ride the brakes excessively, they may overheat and fail.
    • While driving the vehicle, do not shift the gearshift lever to “N” position. The engine brake may not work and you may get involved in an unexpected accident. If you return the gearshift lever from “N” to “M” because of unintended shifting, the gear position will be shifted according to the current vehicle speed.
    • Do not apply the parking brake while driving. Otherwise, it could cause a skid and you may get involved in an unexpected accident.
    |

    |NOTICE| |---| |• If the gearshift lever cannot shift into any position, or the gear is changed to “N” position automatically when the vehicle speed becomes less than 10 km/h there may be a systematic malfunction. In this case, ask your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer to inspect the Auto Gear Shift system as soon as possible.
    • The manual (M) mode does not upshift even if the engine speed reaches the rev-limit.
    • The system will not allow shifting up or down to a gear that would cause engine over-revving or under-revving.
    • If frequently driving at low speed using a high gear position, the life cycle of the clutch may be reduced.
    • Frequent downshifting (more than 3 positions consecutively) causes the reduction of transaxle life.

    Unlike an automatic transaxle, Auto Gear Shift does not have a parking position. Park the vehicle with a gear engaged.

  • 1) Apply the parking brake firmly.
  • 2) While depressing the brake pedal, shift the gearshift lever to the “R” position on a downhill slope, and to the 1st position in the drive (D) mode or the “M” position in the manual (M) mode on an uphill slope and confirm the gear position by checking the gear position indicator.
  • 3) Stop the engine.
  • NOTE:

  • • After the engine is stopped, the gear in the transaxle does not change even if you shift the gearshift lever in any position. Always shift the gearshift lever before stop the engine.
  • • Check the transaxle gear position by looking at the gear position indicator, then turn the ignition switch off to stop the engine. Release the brake pedal after a few seconds.
  • |WARNING

    | |---| |• If the gear is not engaged properly and completely before the ignition switch is turned off, the vehicle may not be parked with the gear engaged. Always confirm the gear position by checking the gear position indicator when parking.
    • On a downhill slope, the gear should be put in reverse, and in 1st gear on an uphill slope. Otherwise, the vehicle may move, and cause an unexpected accident. If the gear is left in the “N” position, the vehicle cannot be parked with a gear engaged.
    |

    ######## Parking cancel

    Depress the brake pedal, turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position, and shift the gearshift lever to the “N” position. The gear will be disengaged.

    ######## Warning functions

    A warning buzzer will sound or the indicator will blink under the following conditions.

    ######## Warning buzzer

  • • The clutch is heated due to excessive load.
  • Page 92

  • • The creeping function is being activated for a long period of time.
  • • The ignition switch is turned to the “LOCK” position with the gear in 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th. In this case, turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position and shift the gearshift lever in the “N” position, shift it to the “D” or “M” or “R” position, then turn the ignition switch to “LOCK”.
  • • During a stop, the driver’s door is opened with the gearshift lever in the “R”, “D” or “M” position while the engine is running.
  • |NOTICE| |---| |In the above cases, pull over to the side of the road and stop the engine, and then ask your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer to inspect your vehicle. Otherwise, the clutch disc may be damaged.|

    ######## “N” indicator blinking

    When the gear indicator lamp blinks “N”, you should depress the brake pedal and shift the gearshift lever to “N” position.

    ######## “1st” indicator blinking

    When the gear indicator lamp blinks “1st”, you should depress the brake pedal and shift the gearshift lever to “N” position, then shift to “D” or “M” position again a few seconds later.

    ######## “R” indicator blinking

    When the gear indicator lamp blinks “R”, you should depress the brake pedal and shift the gearshift lever to “N” position, then shift to “R” position again a few seconds later.

    Braking

    |![image 40](WagonR_New_images/imageFile40.png)

    EXAMPLE| |---|

    60G165S

    The distance needed to bring any vehicle to a halt increases with the speed of the vehicle. The braking distance needed, for example, at 60 km/h will be approximately 4 times greater than the braking distance needed at 30 km/h. Start to brake the vehi-

    cle when there is plenty of distance between your vehicle and the stopping point, and slow down gradually.

    |WARNING

    | |---| |If water gets into the brake drums, brake performance may become poor and unpredictable. After driving through water or washing the underside of the vehicle, test the brakes while driving at a slow speed to see if they have maintained their normal effectiveness. If the brakes are less effective than normal, dry them by repeatedly applying the brakes while driving slowly until the brakes have regained their normal effectiveness.|

    Page 93

    ####### Power-Assisted Brakes

    Your vehicle has power-assisted brakes. If power assistance is lost due to a stalled engine or other failures, the system is still fully operational on reserve power and you can bring the vehicle to a complete stop by pressing the brake pedal once and holding it down. The reserve power is partly used up when you depress the brake pedal and reduces each time the pedal is pressed. Apply smooth and even pressure to the pedal. Do not pump the pedal.

    |WARNING

    | |---| |Even without reserve power in the brake system, you can still stop the vehicle by pressing the brake pedal harder than normally required. However, the stopping distance may be longer.|

    Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS) (if equipped) ABS will help you avoid skidding by electronically controlling braking pressure. It will also help you maintain steering control when braking on slippery surfaces or when braking hard. The ABS works automatically, so you do not need any special braking technique. Just push the brake pedal down without pumping. The ABS will operate whenever it senses that the wheels are locking up. You may feel the brake pedal moves a little while the ABS is operating.

    NOTE: The ABS will not work if vehicle speed is under about 10 km/h.

    |WARNING

    | |---| |• On some types of loose surfaces (such as gravel, snow-covered roads, etc.) the stopping distance required for an ABS-equipped vehicle may be slightly greater than for a comparable vehicle with a conventional brake system. With a conventional brake system, skidding tires are able to “plow” the gravel or snow layer, shortening the stopping distance, ABS minimizes this resistance effect. Allow for extra stopping distance when driving on loose surfaces.
    • On regular paved roads, some drivers may be able to obtain slightly shorter stopping distances with conventional brake systems than with ABS.
    • In both of the above conditions, ABS will still offer the advantage of helping you maintain directional control. However, remember that ABS will not compensate for bad road or weather conditions or poor driver judgment. Use good judgment and do not drive faster than conditions will safely allow.

    52KM059

  • (1) ABS warning light
  • (2) Brake system warning light
  • |WARNING

    | |---| |• If the ABS warning light (1) on the instrument panel comes on and stays on while driving, there may be a problem with the ABS system. Ask your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer to inspect the ABS system immediately. If the ABS system becomes inoperative, the brake system will function as an ordinary brake system that has no ABS.

    (Continued)|

    |WARNING

    | |---|

    Page 94

    |(Continued)

    • If the ABS warning light (1) and the Brake system warning light (2) on the instrument panel simultaneously stays on or comes on when driving, both anti-lock function and rear brake force control function (proportioning valve function) of the ABS system may have failed. If so, the rear wheels may easily skid or the vehicle can even spin in the worst case when braking on a slippery road or when hard braking even on a dry paved road. Ask your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer to inspect the ABS system immediately. Drive carefully, avoiding hard braking as much as possible.|

    ####### How the ABS Works

    A computer continuously monitors wheel speed. The computer compares the changes in wheel speed when braking. If the wheels slow suddenly, indicating a skidding situation, the computer will change braking pressure several times each second to prevent the wheels from locking. When you start your vehicle after a stop you may hear a momentary motor noise as the system checks itself.

    |WARNING

    | |---| |The ABS may not work properly if tires or wheels other than those specified in the owner’s manual are used. This is because the ABS works by comparing changes in wheel speed. When replacing tires or wheels, use only the size and type specified in this owner’s manual.|

    |WARNING

    | |---| |• WEAR YOUR SEAT BELTS AT ALL TIMES. Even though air bags are equipped at the front seating positions, the driver and all passengers should be properly restrained at all times, using the seat belts provided. Refer to the “Seat Belts and Child Restraint Systems” section for instructions on proper use of the seat belts.
    • Never drive while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. Alcohol and drugs can seriously impair your ability to drive safely, greatly increasing the risk of injury to yourself and others. You should also avoid driving when you are tired, sick, irritated, or under stress.
    |

    Running-in Catalytic Converter

    Page 95

    |NOTICE| |---| |The future performance and reliability of the engine depends on the care and restraint exercised during its early life. It is especially important to observe the following precautions during the initial 960 km of vehicle operation.

    • After starting, do not race the engine. Warm it up gradually.
    • Avoid prolonged vehicle operation at a constant speed. Moving parts will break in better if you vary your speed.
    • Start off from a stop slowly. Avoid full throttle starts.
    • Avoid hard braking, especially during the first 320 km of driving.
    • Do not drive slowly with the transaxle in a high gear.
    • Drive the vehicle at moderate engine speeds.
    • Do not tow a trailer.
    |

    |EXAMPLE| |---|

    ############## 80G106

    The purpose of the catalytic converter is to minimize the amount of harmful pollutants in your vehicle’s exhaust. Use of leaded fuel in vehicles equipped with catalytic converters is prohibited, because lead deactivates the pollutant-reducing components of the catalyst system.

    The converter is designed to last the life of the vehicle under normal usage and when unleaded fuel is used. No special maintenance is required on the converter. However, it is very important to keep the engine properly tuned. Engine misfiring, which can result from an improperly tuned engine, may cause overheating of the catalyst. This may result in permanent heat damage to the catalyst and other vehicle components.

    |NOTICE| |---| |To minimize the possibility of catalyst or other vehicle damage:

    • Maintain the engine in the proper operating condition.
    • In the event of an engine malfunction, particularly one involving engine misfire or other apparent loss of performance, have the vehicle serviced promptly.
    • Do not turn off the engine or interrupt the ignition when the transaxle is in gear and the vehicle is in motion.
    • Do not try to start the engine by pushing or towing the vehicle, or coasting down a hill.
    • Do not idle the engine with any spark plug wires disconnected or removed, such as during diagnostic testing.
    • Do not idle the vehicle for prolonged periods if idling seems rough or there are other malfunctions.
    • Do not allow the fuel tank to get near the empty level.
    • Avoid driving your vehicle at excessively high engine speeds, in or around the red zone of the tachometer (if equipped).
    |

    |![image 42](WagonR_New_images/imageFile42.png)

    EXAMPLE| |---|

    54G584S

    |WARNING

    | |---| |Be careful where you park and drive; the catalytic converter and other exhaust components can get very hot. As with any vehicle, do not park or operate this vehicle in areas where combustible materials such as dry grass or leaves can come in contact with a hot exhaust system.|

    Improving Fuel Economy The following instructions will help you improve fuel economy. Avoid excessive idling If you are to wait for more than a minute while you are parked, stop the engine and start it again later. When warming up a cold engine, do not allow the engine to idle or apply full throttle until the engine has reached operating temperature. Allow the engine to warm up by driving. Avoid sudden acceleration

    Sudden acceleration starting from rest or while driving will consume fuel unnecessarily and shorten engine life. Start off slowly.

    ######## Avoid unnecessary stops

    Page 96

    Avoid unnecessary deceleration and stopping. Try to maintain a slow, steady speed whenever possible. Slowing down and then accelerating again uses more fuel.

    Keep a steady cruising speed Keep as constant a speed as road and traffic conditions will permit.

    ######## Keep the air cleaner clean

    |![image 43](WagonR_New_images/imageFile43.png)

    EXAMPLE| |---|

    60A183S

    If the air cleaner is clogged with dust, there will be greater intake resistance, resulting in decreased power output and increased fuel consumption.

    ######## Keep weight to a minimum

    Heavier the load, more fuel the vehicle consumes. Take out any luggage or cargo when it is not necessary.

    ######## Keep tire pressures correct

    Underinflation of the tires can waste fuel due to increased running resistance of the tires. Keep your tires inflated to the correct pressure shown on the label on the driver’s door lock pillar.

    Highway Driving When driving at high speeds, pay attention to the following:

  • • Stopping distance progressively increases with vehicle speed. Apply the brakes far enough ahead of the stopping point to allow for the extra stopping distance.
  • • On rainy days, hydroplaning can occur. Hydroplaning is the loss of direct contact between the road surface and the vehicle’s tires due to a water film forming between them. Steering or braking the vehicle while hydroplaning can be very difficult, and loss of control can occur. Keep speed down when the road surface is wet.
  • • At high speeds, the vehicle may be affected by side winds. Therefore, reduce speed and be prepared for unexpected buffeting, which can occur at the exits of tunnels, when passing by a cut of a hill, or when being overtaken by large vehicles, etc.
  • Driving on Hills

    |EXAMPLE| |---|

    67LH051

    Page 97

  • • When climbing steep hills, the vehicle may begin to slow down and show a lack of power. If this happens, you should shift to a lower gear so that the engine will again be operating in its normal power range. Shift rapidly to prevent the vehicle from losing momentum.
  • • When driving down a hill, the engine should be used for braking by shifting to next lower gear.
  • |WARNING

    | |---| |Try not to hold the brake pedal down too long or too often while going down a steep or long hill. This could cause the brakes to overheat, resulting in reduced braking efficiency. Failure to take this precaution could result in loss of vehicle control.|

    ####### While moving uphill/gradient from a stand still condition

  • • Apply the parking brake firmly so that the vehicle does not roll backwards.
  • • Depress the Clutch pedal and Shift the gearshift lever to 1st Select position.
  • • Do not slip the clutch.
  • • When ready to start, press accelerator pedal and slowly release the clutch pedal simultaneously. When the vehicle starts to move, gradually release the parking brake.
  • |NOTICE| |---| |When descending down a hill, NEVER turn the ignition key to the “LOCK” position. Emission control system damage may result.|

    Driving on Slippery Roads

    |![image 44](WagonR_New_images/imageFile44.png)

    EXAMPLE| |---|

    60G089S

    Under wet road conditions you should drive at a lower speed than on dry roads due to possible slippage of tires during braking. When driving on icy, snow-covered, or muddy roads, reduce your speed and avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt braking, or sharp steering movements.

    ####### Tire Chains

    Tire chains should only be used if they are needed to increase traction or are required by law. Make sure that the chains you use are the correct size for your vehicle’s tires. Also make sure that there is enough clearance between the fenders and the chains as installed on the tires.

    Install the chains on the front tires tightly, according to the chain manufacturer’s instructions. Retighten the chains after driving about 1.0 km if necessary. With the chains installed, drive slowly.

    Page 98

    |NOTICE| |---| |• If you hear the chains hitting against the vehicle body while driving, stop and tighten them.
    • If your vehicle is equipped with full wheel caps, remove the wheel caps before installing the chains or the wheel caps can be damaged by the chain bands.
    |

    If Your Vehicle Gets Stuck If your vehicle gets stuck in snow, mud, or sand, follow the directions below:

  • 1) Shift the transaxle back and forth between a forward range (or first gear for manual transaxle) and reverse. This will create a rocking motion which may give you enough momentum to free the vehicle. Press gently on the accelerator to keep wheel spinning to a minimum wheel rpm. Remove your foot from the accelerator while shifting. Do not race the engine. Excessive wheel spin will cause the tires to dig deeper, making it more difficult to free the vehicle.
  • 2) If your vehicle remains stuck after a few minutes of rocking, we recommend you to consult your authorised Maruti Suzuki workshop or a roadside assistance service. If a towing service is not available in an emergency, your vehicle may be temporarily towed by a towing cable or chain secured to the towing hook either on the front of the vehicle or on the rear of the vehicle. Refer to “Frame Hooks” in the “OTHER CONTROLS AND EQUIPMENT” section.
  • |WARNING

    | |---| |Do not allow anyone to stand near the vehicle when you are rocking it, and do not spin the wheels faster than an indicated 40 km/h on the speedometer. Personal injury and/or vehicle damage may result from spinning the wheels too fast.|

    |NOTICE| |---| |Do not continue rocking the vehicle for more than a few minutes. Prolonged rocking can cause engine overheating or transaxle damage.|

    Driving on Wet Roads

    |NOTICE| |---| |• When driving on wet roads, avoid driving through large amount of standing water on the road. Large amount of water entering the engine compartment may cause damage to the engine and or electrical components.
    • If stuck in deep water, do not start the engine.
    • Water is incompressible substance, water inside engine is harmful to the engine.
    |

    |WARNING

    | |---| |In addition to following the driving tips in this section, it is important to observe the following precautions.

    • Make sure your tires are in good condition and always maintain the specified tire pressure. Refer to “Tires” in the “INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE” section for details.
    • Do not use tires other than those specified by MARUTI SUZUKI. Never use different sizes or types of tires on the front and rear wheels. For information regarding the specified tires, refer to the Tire Information Label located on the driver’s door lock pillar.
    • Never use oversized tires or special shock absorbers and springs to raise (jack up) your vehicle. This will change the handling characteristics. Oversized tires may also rub against the vehicle body over bumps, causing vehicle damage or tire failure.
    • After driving through water, test the brakes while driving at a slow speed to see if they have maintained their normal effectiveness. If they are less effective than normal, dry them by repeatedly applying the brakes while driving slowly until the brakes have regained their normal effectiveness.

    Do’s and Dont’s for Safe Driving

    Exercise care in handling your vehicle. Be conscious of not only your own safety but also the safety of others on the road, and thus enjoy the best and most comfortable driving experience.

    Following are basic rules for safe driving. Read them carefully for good understanding of the content so that you can enjoy safe and pleasant driving in your vehicle.

    ####### Starting

  • 1) Adjust the driver’s seat for the proper driving posture.
  • 2) Adjust the rear view mirror so as to obtain the best possible rear view.
  • |EXAMPLE| |---|

    ############## 72F-08-001

  • 3) Before moving, look around your vehicle to confirm safety.
  • 4) Don’t accelerate suddenly, since it is dangerous and wastes fuel.
  • ####### General driving

  • 1) Be sure to stop before a stop light or stop sign. When moving into an intersection without any traffic lights or signs, drive slowly to confirm safety.
  • 2) Always follow other vehicles at a safe distance in order to prevent a rear-end collision, in case the vehicle ahead makes a sudden stop.
  • |![image 46](WagonR_New_images/imageFile46.png)

    EXAMPLE| |---|

    72F-08-008

    Page 100

  • 3) Turn ON the turn signal at least 30 meters before making a turn or changing the lane so as to not be hit.
  • 4) Before entering a corner, decelerate to a safe speed. Don’t apply brakes during cornering, or skidding may occur.
  • 5) When overtaking other vehicles, watch out for oncoming vehicles and carefully ensure safety.
  • 6) Don’t attempt zigzag driving as it will hinder your control over the vehicle and may cause an accident.
  • 7) Avoid reckless high speed driving and try to drive at a safe speed suitable for the road conditions while maintaining a constant speed.
  • 8) Higher the speed, narrower the driver’s visual range becomes. In such a state, it is difficult to anticipate any hazard and the driver feels fatigued.
  • |EXAMPLE| |---|

    ############## 72F-08-015

  • 9) Do not attempt sharp handling during high speed driving. You may lose your control over your vehicle.
  • 10)When overtaking or changing lanes while driving at a high speed, keep ample vehicle-to-vehicle distance.

    ![image 50](WagonR_New_images/imageFile50.png)

    EXAMPLE| |---|

    72F-08-011

  • 1) Use the parking brake when parking your vehicle and shift the gear shift lever into the first gear or reverse gear position for the sake of safety.
  • 2) Don’t use hand-braking unless unavoidable. It causes the vehicle to skid and a collision may occur. It is especially dangerous when the tyres are worn out as they skid more.
  • |EXAMPLE| |---|

    72F-08-012 Use foot brake in three stages

  • 1. Warn the vehicle behind you
  • Page 101

  • 2. Gradually apply the brake.
  • 3. Bring the vehicle to a halt.
  • 3) When driving downhill, try not to apply the brake but use the engine brake effectively. Overuse of the foot-brake may result in reduction of brake effectiveness.

    ####### Long distance driving

  • 1) Be sure to perform safety checks before starting a trip.
  • 2) Take rest at regular intervals to prevent accidents which may occur due to feeling sleepy or tired.
  • ####### Night time driving

    |EXAMPLE| |---|

  • 72F-08-020
  • 1) Drive at lower speeds during the night than in the daytime, as the visual range is restricted at night.
  • 2) Avoid overtaking other vehicles at night. Darkness bothers your sense of speed and hinders your judgment of vehicleto-vehicle distance.
  • 72F-08-021
  • |EXAMPLE| |---|

  • 3) Don’t use headlights on high beam unless its use is inevitable. It may cause visual impairment to the driver of the oncoming vehicle or the vehicle ahead of you, which may cause an accident.
  • 4) Always keep the window glasses clean. Don’t operate the windshield wiper when the windshield glass is dry else the wiper blade and glass may get damaged.
  • |EXAMPLE| |---|

    Page 102

    72F-08-022

    Margin for Safety

    It is important to allow yourself a margin for safety during driving so that you can cope with erroneous or unexpected driving of other drivers. For that, observe the following.

  • • Drive at a safe speed.
  • • Maintain a sufficient distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.
  • • Don’t force yourself to overtake other vehicles.
  • • Don’t accelerate suddenly, steer sharply or stop suddenly.
  • • Keep ample gaps between driving schedules.
  • • Observe traffic rules and regulations.
  • ####### Conclusion

    A perfect driver does not exist. The endeavour of every motorist should be to strive for perfection. Safety consciousness not only ensures your safety and the safety of other road users, it also helps reduce the wear and tear on your vehicle, lengthens its life, gives better fuel efficiency and ensures a comfortable driving experience.

    Follow the do’s and dont’s listed, and driving will never be the same again.

    ######## Recirculated Air (g)

    Page 106

    When this mode is selected by moving the lever to left, outside air is shut out and inside air is recirculated. This mode is suitable when driving through dusty or polluted air such as in a tunnel, or when attempting to quickly cool down the interior.

    NOTE: If you select “RECIRCULATED AIR” for an extended period of time, the air in the vehicle can become contaminated. Therefore, you should occasionally select “FRESH AIR”.

    ######## Air conditioning switch (5)

    To turn on the air conditioning system, set the blower speed selector to a position other than “OFF” and push in the “A/C” switch. With this “A/C” switch operation, a indicator light will come on when the airconditioning system is on. To turn off the air conditioning system, push the “A/C” switch again.

    During operation of the air conditioner, you may notice slight changes in engine speed. These changes are normal, the system is designed so that the compressor turns on or off to maintain the desired temperature.

    Less operation of the compressor results in better fuel economy.

    ####### System Operating Instructions Natural ventilation

    Select “VENTILATION” and “FRESH AIR”, the temperature selector to the desired temperature position, and the blower speed selector to “OFF”. Fresh air will flow through the vehicle during driving.

    ######## Forced ventilation

    The control settings are the same as for natural ventilation except you set the blower speed selector to a position other than “OFF”.

    ######## Normal heating (using outside air)

    Select “HEAT” and “FRESH AIR”, the temperature selector to the desired temperature position and the blower speed selector to the desired blower speed position. Setting the blower speed selector to a higher blower speed position increases heating efficiency.

    ######## Quick heating (using recirculated air)

    The control settings are the same as for normal heating except you select “RECIRCULATED AIR”. If you use this heating method for an extended period of time, the air in the vehicle can become contaminated and the windows can become misty. Therefore, use this method only for quick heating and change to the normal heating method as soon as possible.

    ######## Head cooled/Feet warmed heating

    Select “BI-LEVEL” and “FRESH AIR”, the temperature selector to the desired temperature position, and the blower speed selector to the desired blower speed position. Unless the temperature selector is in the fully COLD position or fully HOT position, the air that comes out of the center and side outlets will be cooler than the air that comes out of the floor outlets.

    ######## Normal cooling

    Set the air flow selector to “VENTILATION”, the temperature selector to the desired temperature position and the blower speed selector to the desired blower speed position, and turn on the “A/C” switch. Setting the blower speed selector to a higher blower speed position increases cooling efficiency.

    Page 107

    You can switch the air intake selector to either “FRESH AIR” or “RECIRCULATED AIR” as you desire. Choosing “RECIRCULATED AIR” increases cooling efficiency.

    Quick cooling (using recirculated air) The control settings are the same as for normal cooling except you select “RECIRCULATED AIR” and the highest blower speed. NOTE: • To turn on the air conditioning system,

    push in the “A/C” switch and set the blower speed selector to a position other than “OFF”. With this “A/C” switch operation, an indicator light will come on when

    the air conditioning system is on. To turn off the air conditioning system, push the “A/C” switch again.

    • During operation of the air conditioner, you may notice slight changes in engine speed. These changes are normal, the system is designed so that the compressor turns on or off to maintain the desired temperature. Less operation of the compressor results in better fuel economy.

    NOTE:

  • • If you select “RECIRCULATED AIR” for an extended period of time, the air in the vehicle can become contaminated. Therefore, you should occasionally select “FRESH AIR”.
  • • If your vehicle has been left in the sun with the windows closed, it will cool faster if you open the windows briefly while you operate the air conditioner with the air intake selector at “FRESH AIR” and the blower at high speed.
  • ######## Dehumidifying

    Set the air flow selector to a desired air flow selector position, the temperature selector to the desired temperature position and the blower speed selector to the desired blower speed position. Also select “FRESH AIR” and turn on the “A/C” switch.

    NOTE: Because the air conditioner dehumidifies the air, turning it on will help keep the windows clear, even when blowing heated air using the “DEFROST” or “HEAT & DEFROST” functions.

    |EXAMPLE| |---|

    67LH058

    NOTE: If you need maximum defrosting:

  • • Set the air flow selector to “DEFROST” and “FRESH AIR”.
  • • Set the blower speed selector to HIGH.
  • • Adjust the temperature selector to the HOT end.
  • • Turn on the “A/C” switch.
  • • Adjust the side outlets so the air blows on the side windows.
  • Page 108

    ####### Maintenance

    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 optimum 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.

    NOTE: Your vehicle uses the air conditioning refrigerant HFC-134a, commonly called “R-134a”. R-134a replaced R-12 around 1993 for automotive applications. Other refrigerants are available, including recycled R-12, but only R-134a should be used in your vehicle.

    |CAUTION| |---| |Using the wrong refrigerant may damage your air conditioning system. Use R-134a only. Do not mix or replace the R-134a with other refrigerants.|

    VEHICLE LOADING AND TOWING Vehicle Loading

    Towing Your Vehicle

    |WARNING

    | |---| |Never overload your vehicle. The gross vehicle weight (sum of the weights of the vehicle, all the occupants, accessories, cargo plus trailer nose weight if towing a trailer) must never exceed the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR). In addition, never distribute a load so that the weight on either the front or rear axle exceeds the Permissible maximum Axle Weight (PAW).|

    Your vehicle was designed for specific weight capacities. The weight capacities of your vehicle are indicated by the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and the Permissible maximum Axle Weight (PAW, front and rear). The GVWR and PAW (front and rear) are listed in the “SPECIFICATIONS” section.

    Your vehicle may be towed behind another vehicle, provided your vehicle is 2 wheel drive (2WD) and you use the proper towing method specified for your vehicle. The towing method you must use depends on the specifications of your vehicle: whether it is a manual transaxle vehicle or an Auto Gear Shift vehicle.

    GVWR – Maximum permissible overall weight of the fully loaded vehicle (including all the occupants, accessories and cargo plus the trailer nose weight if towing a trailer). PAW – (Front and Rear) Maximum permissible weight on an individual axle.

    Use the towing instruction table to select the proper towing method for your vehicle, and carefully follow the corresponding instructions.3.

    |WARNING

    | |---| |When you tow your vehicle, follow the instructions below to avoid accidents and damage to your vehicle. In addition, be sure to observe government and local requirements regarding vehicle lighting and trailer hitches or tow bars.|

    Page 121

    |WARNING

    | |---| |Always distribute cargo evenly. To avoid personal injury or damage to your vehicle, always secure cargo to prevent it from shifting if the vehicle moves suddenly. Place heavier objects on the floor and as far forward in the cargo area as possible. Never pile cargo higher than the top of the seat backs.|

    Actual weight of the loaded vehicle and actual loads at the front and rear axles can only be determined by weighing the vehicle. Compare these weights to the GVWR and PAW (front and rear). If the gross vehicle weight or the load on either axle exceeds these ratings, you must remove enough weight to bring the load down to the rated capacity.

    |WARNING

    | |---| |A safety chain should always be used when you tow your vehicle.|

    Trailer Towing

    Your MARUTI SUZUKI was originally designed to carry people and a normal amount of cargo, not to tow a trailer.MARUTI SUZUKI does not recommend you use your vehicle to tow a trailer. Towing a trailer can adversely affect handling, durability, and fuel economy.

    Drive Belt

    |WARNING

    |

    Page 127

    |---| |When the engine is running, keep hands, hair, clothing, tools, etc. away from the moving fan and drive belts.|

    Make sure the drive belt tension is correct. If the belt is too loose, insufficient battery charging, engine overheating, poor power steering, poor air conditioning, or excessive 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 MARUTI SUZUKI authorised workshop.

    Engine Oil and Filter Specified Oil

    Be sure that the engine oil you use comes under the quality classification of SL.

    SAE 0W-20 is the best choice for good fuel economy, and good starting in cold weather.

    ####### Oil Level Check

    |EXAMPLE| |---|

    68KH066

    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 colored 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.

    |CAUTION|

    Page 128

    |---| |Failure to check the oil level regularly could lead to serious engine trouble due to insufficient oil.|

    ####### Refilling

    |![image 56](WagonR_New_images/imageFile56.png)

    CloseOpen

    EXAMPLE| |---|

    81A147

    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 minute. 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.

    |Open Close

    EXAMPLE| |---|

    68KH067

  • 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.
  • |WARNING

    | |---| |The engine oil temperature may be high enough to burn your fingers when the drain plug is loosened. Wait until the drain plug is cool enough to touch with your bare hands.|

    Tightening torque for drain plug (1): 35 Nm (3.5 kg-m, 25.5 lb-ft)

    |WARNING

    | |---| |New and used oil can be hazardous. Children and pets may be harmed by swallowing new or used oil. Keep new and used oil and used oil filters away from children and pets. Repeated, prolonged contact with used engine oil may cause skin cancer. Brief contact with used oil may irritate skin.

    (Continued)|

    |WARNING

    | |---| |(Continued) To minimize your exposure to used oil, wear a long-sleeve shirt and moisture-proof gloves (such as dishwashing gloves) when changing oil. If oil contacts your skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water. Launder any clothing or rags if wet with oil. Recycle or properly dispose of used oil and filters.|

    4) Reinstall the drain plug and new gasket. Tighten the plug with a wrench to the specified torque.

    ####### Replace the Oil Filter

  • 1) Using an oil filter wrench, turn the oil filter counterclockwise and remove it.
  • 2) Using a clean rag, wipe off the mounting surface on the engine where the new filter will be seated.
  • 3) Smear a little engine oil around the rubber gasket of the new oil filter.
  • 4) Screw on the new filter by hand until the filter gasket contacts the mounting surface.

  • |NOTICE| |---| |To tighten the oil filter properly, it is Important to accurately identify the position at which the filter gasket first contacts the mounting surface.|

  • 5) Tighten the filter specified turn from the point of contact with the mounting surface (or to the specified torque) using an oil filter wrench.
  • Tightening torque for oil filter 1 turn or 14 Nm (1.4 kg-m, 10.5 lb-ft)

    |NOTICE| |---| |To prevent oil leakage, make sure that the oil filter is tight, but do not over-tighten it.|

    ####### Refill with Oil and Check for Leaks

  • 1) Pour oil through the filler hole and install the filler cap. For the approximate capacity of the oil, refer to the “Capacities” item in the “SPECIFICATIONS” section.
  • 2) Start the engine and look carefully for leaks at the oil filter and drain plug. Run the engine at various speeds for at least 5 minutes.
  • 3) Stop the engine and wait about 5 minutes. Check the oil level again and add oil if necessary. Check for leaks again.
  • |NOTICE| |---| |• When replacing the oil filter, it is recommended that you use a MARUTI genuine replacement filter. If you use an aftermarket filter, make sure it is of equivalent quality and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
    • Oil leaks from around the oil filter 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 inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI authorised workshop.

    Engine Coolant Selection of Coolant To maintain optimum performance and durability of your engine, use MARUTI Genuine Coolant or equivalent. This type of coolant is best for your cooling system as it:

    Page 131

  • • Helps maintain proper engine temperature.
  • • Gives proper protection against freezing and boiling.
  • • Gives proper protection against corrosion and rust.
  • Failure to use the proper coolant can damage your cooling system. Your MARUTI SUZUKI authorised workshop can help you select the proper coolant.

    |NOTICE| |---| |To avoid damaging your cooling system:

    • Always use a high quality ethylene glycol base non-silicate type coolant diluted with distilled water at the correct mixture concentration.
    • Make sure that the proper mix is 30/ 70 coolant to distilled water and in no case higher than 70/30. Concentrations greater than 70/30 coolant to distilled water will cause overheating conditions.
    • Do not use straight coolant nor plain water.
    • Do not add extra inhibitors or additives. They may not be compatible with your cooling system.
    • Do not mix different types of base coolants. Doing so may result in accelerated seal wear and/or the possibility of severe overheating and extensive engine damage.
    |

    ####### Coolant Level Check

    Check the coolant level at the reservoir tank, not at the radiator. With the engine cool, the coolant level should be between the “FULL” and “LOW” marks.

    ####### Adding Coolant

    |EXAMPLE| |---|

  • 67LH079
  • 68KH070
  • |EXAMPLE| |---|

    If the coolant level is below the “LOW” mark, more coolant should be added. Remove the reservoir tank cap and add coolant until the reservoir tank level

    reaches the “FULL” mark. Never fill the reservoir tank above the “FULL” mark.

    |WARNING

    | |---| |Engine coolant is harmful or fatal if swallowed or inhaled. Do not drink antifreeze or coolant solution. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Immediately contact a poison control center or a physician. Avoid inhaling mist or hot vapors; if inhaled, move to fresh air area. If coolant gets in eyes, flush eyes with water and seek medical attention. Wash thoroughly after handling. Solution can be poisonous to animals. Keep out of the reach of children and animals.|

    Page 132

    |CAUTION| |---| |• The mixture you use should contain 50% concentration of antifreeze.
    • If the lowest ambient temperature in your area is expected to be – 35°C (–31°F) or below, use higher concentrations up to 60% following the instructions on the antifreeze container.
    • When putting the cap on the reservoir tank, line up the mark on the cap and the mark on the tank. Failure to follow this can result in coolant leakage.

    Page 140

    60G-09-019E

    To avoid uneven wear of your tyres and to prolong their life, rotate the tyres as illustrated. Tyres should be rotated as mentioned in periodic maintenance schedule. After rotation, adjust front and rear tyre pressures to the specification listed on your vehicle’s Tyre Inflation Pressure Label.

    ######## Wheel Balancing

    If the vehicle vibrates abnormally on smooth road, have the wheel balanced at Maruti Suzuki authorised workshop.

    ######## Wheel Alignment

    In case of abnormal tyre wear or pulling towards one side, have the wheel aligned at Maruti Suzuki authorised workshop.

    ######## Tubeless Tyres (If equipped)

    The vehicle is equipped with Tubeless Tyres. In tubeless tyre, a thin layer of butyl rubber is used for lining the inside of the tubeless tyre. This layer is to prevent air loss and fulfilling the purpose of tube. The air pressure is maintained by the sealing between tyre bead and wheel rim. Tubeless tyres are having advantage of slow air loss and preventing sudden deflation while driving.

    Care and maintenance tips for tubeless tyres

  • 1) Always maintain recommended inflation pressure. Driving continuously at low inflation pressure can lead to tyre damage.
  • 2) In case any leakage is found, check for any nail penetration/valve core damage or rim bent. Damaged wheel must not be used.
  • 3) In case tyre has run at low pressure, it must be inspected for any defect.
  • 4) Whenever new tyre is fitted, replace the valve.
  • 5) If continuous high speed driving is required, increase tyres pressure by 5 psi over recommended inflation pressure.
  • 6) Never run the tyre beyond TWI (Tread wear indicator). The tyre is recommended to be replaced when the remaining tread has worn to this point. The indicators are spaced across the tread
  • around the tyre marked by a triangular symbol (TWI).

  • 7) Always prefer tubeless tyre mounting machine. In case of manual mountingtyre/wheel rim damage may occur.
  • 8) In case of any problem, please get in touch with MARUTI SUZUKI authorised workshop.
  • NOTE: All tyres fitted to this vehicle comply to IS: 15633

    • When making jump lead connections, be certain 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 in the vicinity of the battery.
    • If the booster battery you use for jump starting is installed in another vehicle, make sure the two vehicles are not touching each other.
    • If your battery discharges repeatedly, for no apparent reason, have your vehicle inspected by an MARUTI SUZUKI authorised workshop.
    • To avoid harm to yourself or damage to your vehicle or battery, follow the jump starting instructions below precisely and in order. If you are in doubt, call for qualified road service.
    |

    Page 158

    |CAUTION| |---| |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.|

    ####### When Jump Starting Your Vehicle, Use the Following Procedure:

  • 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, DO NOT LET THE VEHICLES TOUCH. Set the parking brakes fully on both vehicles.
  • 2) Turn off all vehicle accessories, except those necessary for safety reasons (for example, headlights or hazard lights).
  • |EXAMPLE| |---|

    Towing

    If you need to have your vehicle towed, contact a professional service. Your dealer can provide you with detailed towing instructions.

    |CAUTION| |---| |To help avoid damage to your vehicle during towing, proper equipment and towing procedures must be used.|

  • 2-Wheel Drive (2WD) Manual Transmission Manual transmission 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, make sure 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, make sure that transaxle is in neutral, the steering wheel is unlocked (the ignition key should be in the “ACC” position), and the steering wheel is secured with a clamping device designed for towing service.
  • |CAUTION| |---| |The steering column is not strong enough to withstand shocks transmitted from the front wheels during towing. Always unlock the steering wheel before towing.|

    If the Starter Does Not Operate

  • 1) Try turning the ignition switch to the “START” position with the headlights turned on to determine the battery condition. 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 contact 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 vehicle inspected by your MARUTI SUZUKI authorised workshop.
  • If the Engine is Flooded

    If the engine is flooded with petrol, 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. (Do not operate the starter motor for more than 15 seconds).

    If the Engine Overheats

    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.
  • Page 160

  • 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 let it cool. 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.|

    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 the “LOW” line, look for leaks at the radiator, water pump, and radiator and heater hoses. If you locate any leaks that may have caused the overheating, do not run the engine until these problems have been corrected.
  • 3) If you do not find a leak, carefully add coolant to the reservoir and then the radiator, if necessary. (Refer to “Engine Coolant” in the “INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE” section.)
  • NOTE: If your engine overheats and you are unsure what to do, contact your nearest MARUTI SUZUKI workshop.

    |![image 81](WagonR_New_images/imageFile81.png)

    EXAMPLE| |---|

    65D614

    |WARNING

    | |---| |• It is hazardous to remove the radiator cap (or degassing tank cap for a diesel engine) when the water temperature 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 warning.

    Corrosion Prevention

    It is important to take good care of your vehicle to protect it from corrosion. Listed below are instructions for how to maintain your vehicle to prevent corrosion. Please read and follow these instructions carefully.

    ####### Important Information About Corrosion

    ######## Common causes of corrosion

  • 1) Accumulation of road salt, dirt, moisture, or chemicals in hard-to-reach areas of the vehicle underbody or frame.
  • 2) Chipping, scratches and any damage to treated or painted metal surfaces resulting from minor accidents or abrasion by stones and gravel.
  • Environmental conditions which accelerate corrosion

  • 1) Road salt, dust control chemicals, sea air or industrial pollution will all accelerate the corrosion of metal.
  • 2) High humidity will increase the rate of corrosion particularly when the temperature range is just above the freezing point.
  • 3) Moisture in certain areas of a vehicle for an extended period of time may promote corrosion even though other body sections may be completely dry.
  • 4) High temperatures will cause an accelerated rate of corrosion to parts of the
  • vehicle which are not well ventilated to permit quick drying.

    This information illustrates the necessity of keeping your vehicle (particularly the underbody) as clean and dry as possible. It is equally important to repair any damage to the paint or protective coatings as soon as possible.

    How to Help Prevent Corrosion Wash your vehicle frequently The best way to preserve the finish on your vehicle and to help avoid corrosion is to keep it clean with frequent washing. Wash your vehicle at least once during the winter and once immediately after the winter. Keep your vehicle, particularly the underside, as clean and dry as possible. If you frequently drive on salted roads, your vehicle should be washed at least once a month during the winter. If you live near the ocean, your vehicle should be washed at least once a month throughout the year.

    For washing instructions, refer to the “Vehicle Cleaning” section.

    ######## Remove foreign material deposits

    Foreign material such as salts, chemicals, road oil or tar, tree sap, bird droppings and industrial fall-out may damage the finish of your vehicle if it is left on painted surfaces. Remove these types of deposits as quickly as possible. If these deposits are difficult to wash off, an additional cleaner may be

    required. Be sure that any cleaner you use is not harmful to painted surfaces and is specifically intended for your purposes. Follow the manufacturer’s directions when using these special cleaners.

    ######## Repair finish damage

    Page 163

    Carefully examine your vehicle for damage to the painted surfaces. Should you find any chips or scratches in the paint, touch them up immediately to prevent corrosion from starting. If the chips or scratches have gone through to the bare metal, have a qualified body shop make the repair.

    Keep passenger and luggage compartments clean Moisture, dirt or mud can accumulate under the floor mats and may cause corrosion. Occasionally, check under these mats to ensure that this area is clean and dry. More frequent checks are necessary if the vehicle is used off road or in wet weather. Certain cargos such as chemicals, fertilizers, cleaners, salts, etc. are extremely corrosive by nature. These products should be transported in sealed containers. If a spill or leak does occur, clean and dry the area immediately.

    Store your vehicle in a dry, well-ventilated area

    Do not park your vehicle in a damp, poorly ventilated area. If you often wash your vehicle in the garage or if you frequently drive it in when wet, your garage may be damp. The high humidity in the garage may cause or accelerate corrosion. A wet vehicle may corrode even in a heated garage if the ventilation is poor.

    |WARNING

    | |---| |Do not apply additional undercoating or rust preventive coating on or around exhaust system components such as the catalytic converter, exhaust pipes, etc. A fire could be started if the undercoating substance becomes overheated.|

    Vehicle Cleaning

    |![image 82](WagonR_New_images/imageFile82.png)| |---|

    76G044S

    |WARNING

    | |---| |When cleaning the interior or exterior of the vehicle, NEVER USE flammable solvents such as lacquer thinners, petrol, benzene or cleaning materials such as bleaches or strong household detergents. The materials could cause personal injury or damage to the vehicle.|

    Cleaning the Interior Vinyl upholstery Prepare a solution of soap or mild detergent mixed with warm water. Apply the solution to the vinyl with a sponge or soft cloth and let it soak for a few minutes to loosen dirt. Rub the surface with a clean, damp cloth to remove dirt and the soap solution. If some dirt still remains on the surface, repeat this procedure.

    ######## Fabric upholstery

    Remove loose dirt with a vacuum cleaner. Using a mild soap solution, rub stained areas with a clean damp cloth. To remove soap, rub the areas again with a cloth dampened with water. Repeat this until the stain is removed, or use a commercial fabric cleaner for tougher stains. If you use a fabric cleaner, carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions and precautions.

    ######## Seat belts

    Clean seat belts with a mild soap and water. Do not use bleach or dye on the belts. They may weaken the fabric in the belts.

    Page 164

    ######## Vinyl floor mats

    Ordinary dirt can be removed from vinyl with water or mild soap. Use a brush to help loosen dirt. After the dirt is loosened, rinse the mat thoroughly with water and dry it in the shade.

    ######## Carpets

    Remove dirt and soil as much as possible with a vacuum cleaner. Using a mild soap solution, rub stained areas with a clean damp cloth. To remove soap, rub the areas again with a cloth dampened with water. Repeat this until the stain is removed, or use a commercial carpet cleaner for tougher stains. If you use a carpet cleaner, carefully follow the manufacturer’s instructions and precautions.

    ####### Cleaning the Exterior

    |CAUTION| |---| |It is important that your vehicle be kept clean and free from dirt. Failure to keep your vehicle clean may result in fading of the paint or corrosion to various parts of the vehicle body.|

    Caring for Aluminum Wheels NOTE:

  • • Do not use an acidic or alkaline detergent to wash aluminum wheels. These types of detergent will cause permanent spots, discoloration and cracks on finished surfaces.
  • • Do not use a bristle brush and soap containing an abrasive material. These will damage finished surfaces.
  • ####### Washing

    |![image 83](WagonR_New_images/imageFile83.png)| |---|

    • Avoid directing steam or hot water of more than 80°C (176°F) on plastic parts.
    • To avoid damaging engine components, do not use pressurized water in the engine compartment.
    |

    |CAUTION| |---| |To avoid damage to the paint or plastic surface, do not wipe the dirt off without ample water. Be sure to follow above procedure.|

  • 3) Wash the entire exterior with a mild detergent or car wash soap using a sponge or soft cloth. The sponge or cloth should be frequently soaked in the soap solution.
  • 4) Once the dirt has been completely removed, rinse off the detergent with running water.
  • 5) After rinsing, wipe off the vehicle body with a wet chamois or cloth and allow it to dry in the shade.
  • 6) Check carefully for damage to painted surfaces. If there is any damage, “touch-up” the damage following the procedure below:
  • |CAUTION| |---| |When using a commercial car wash product, observe the cautions specified by the manufacturer. Never use strong household detergents or soaps.|

  • 1. Clean all damaged spots and allow them to dry.
  • 2. Stir the paint and “touch-up” the damaged spots lightly using a small brush.
  • 3. Allow the paint to dry completely.
  • |CAUTION| |---| |If you use an automatic car wash, make sure that your vehicle’s body parts, such as spoilers, cannot be damaged. If you are in doubt, consult the car wash operator for advice.|
