Check the clutch pedal for smooth opera-
tion and clutch fluid level from time to time.
If clutch dragging is felt with the pedal fully
depressed, have the clutch inspected by
your MARUTI SUZUKI dealer. If the clutch
fluid level is near the “MIN” line, fill it up to
the “MAX” line with Maruti Genuine Brake
fluid.

Fluid
Specified Fluid
Use an automatic transaxle fluid MARUTI
SUZUKI ATF AW-1.
Fluid Level Check
You must check the fluid level with the
automatic transaxle fluid at normal operat-
ing temperature.
To check the fluid level:
1) To warm up the automatic transaxle
fluid, drive the vehicle or idle the engine
until the temperature gauge indicates
normal operating temperature.
2) Then drive for ten more minutes.
NOTE:
Do not check the fluid level if you have just
driven the vehicle for a long time at high
speed, or if you have driven in city traffic in
hot weather. Wait until the fluid cools down
(about 30 minutes), or the fluid level indi-
cation will not be correct.
3) Park your vehicle on level ground.
4) Apply the parking brake and then start
the engine in “P” (Park). Let it idle for
two minutes and keep it running during
the fluid level check.
5) With your foot on the brake pedal, move
the gearshift lever through each gear,
pausing for about three seconds in
each range. Then move it back to the
“P” (Park) position.
