OPERATING YOUR VEHICLE
79MH0-74E
(For Diesel Engine Model)
Cold engine
Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position
and wait until the glow plug indicator goes
out if it comes on. Crank the engine by
turning the ignition key to “START”.
Release the key when the engine starts.
Warm engine
Crank the engine by turning the ignition

Caution when stopping the engine with
turbocharger
When stopping the engine after climbing or
high speed driving, let the engine idle for
about one minute or more (if it is not pro-
hibited) to cool down the turbocharger and
engine oil. This is to prevent the engine oil
from over-deteriorating. Deteriorated
engine oil will damage the bearings of the
turbocharger.
Restarting diesel engine after fuel-
empty stop
If the engine stops and the low fuel warn-
ing light and the malfunction indicator light
come on, use the following procedure:
1) Fill the fuel tank.
2) Hold the ignition key in “ON” position for
5-10 seconds to feed fuel.
3) Perform above engine starting proce-
dure to start the engine.
If the malfunction indicator light still comes
on after the engine started, there may be
some problem with the engine. Ask your
MARUTI SUZUKI dealer to have the
engine inspected.
