CAUTION
• When installing the spark plugs,
screw them in with your fingers to
avoid stripping the threads. Tighten
with a torque wrench to 25 Nm (2.5
kg-m, 18.0 lb-ft). Do not allow
contaminants to enter the engine
through the spark plug holes when
the plugs are removed.
• Never use spark plugs with the
wrong thread size.

NOTE:
If your engine is equipped with the high
tension cord type ignition wiring and you
experience some firing problem of spark
plugs, such as, hard engine-starting,
misfire etc., the cause may be located not
only on spark plugs but also on
deteriorated ignition wirings (generally,
used for more than 80,000 km or five
years). If spark plug replacement does not
solve the problem, have the ignition wiring
and other ignition system inspected by
your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer.
