78MM06001

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.

Maruti Suzuki vehicle.

72F-08-002

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.

3) Before moving off, look forward and

back to confirm safety.

CAUTION

• 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 elec-

trical components.

• If stuck in deep water, do not start

till water level drops.

• Water is incompressible substance,

water inside engine is harmful to

the engine.”

DON’T

EXAMPLE

WARNING

In addition to following the driving

tips in this section, it is important to

observe the following precautions.

• Make sure your tyres are in good

condition and always maintain the

specified tyre pressure. Refer to

“TYRES” in the “INSPECTION AND

MAINTENANCE” section for

details.

• Do not use tyres other than those

specified by MARUTI SUZUKI.

Never use different sizes or types

of tyres on the front and rear

wheels. For information regarding

the specified tyres, refer to the

“SPECIFICATIONS” section.

• Never use oversize tyres or special

shock absorbers and springs to

raise (jack up) your vehicle. This

will change the handling character-

istics.

• After driving through water, test the

brakes while driving at a slow

speed to see if they have main-

tained 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 effective-

ness.
